How to Know God’s Heart Through Prayer and Scripture

You cannot truly know God’s heart or understand His love for humanity if you do not seek Him or spend time in His Word. God is not hiding from us. He wants to be known.

When Religion Stops Looking Like Jesus

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”(James 1:27) Religion is supposed to help us grow closer to God and closer to one another.
