Hearing the Voice of God: The Foundation (part 1)
Most believers have asked this question at some point: Is God really speaking to me—or is it just my own thoughts? Some even ask if God still speaks at all. Still others, who believe that He does speak, wonder how they can recognize His voice. These are questions that have been in the hearts of seekers for generations, because the longing to hear God is as old as humanity itself.
When God Invites us into His Heart
Most Christians would say that to know God is the deepest desire of their hearts. Jesus Himself defined eternal life in these terms: “Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” (John 17:3 NIV) But what does it really mean to know God?
Can anything good come out of suffering?
It has been said that suffering is the strongest argument that Satan has against the goodness of God. At first glance, that argument seems to have some merit. After all, we know from our own human experience that it would be unnatural for loving parents to allow their children to suffer if they could prevent it. How much more, then, would a good and loving Heavenly Father, the Creator of all things, desire to abolish suffering by a simple act of His will? Yet, suffering remains an undeniable reality of life on earth.
