Let God SpeakDealing With Debt - 230105
Money is very important in life—when we have enough, we can visit beautiful, scenic places in the world; we can enrol in fascinating academic courses; and we can complete big creative projects that people will stand back and admire. But what happens when we don’t have enough? Is going into debt the best option? It’s a very practical (and personal) question.

Lead Your LifeQ&A with Dr. Sven Ostring: Why Christianity StinksLet’s face it. Christianity has never been attractive in the past and is even less attractive today but the reasons are different. In the past Christianity was seen as a rebel religion started by a radical leader called Jesus Christ. As a result the church was heavily persecuted. Today, there’s no persecution but when people think Christianity they think scandals and hypocrisy and when they think of it as a religion they see it as irrelevant, stale, and lacking in substance. Is this accurate?

Let God SpeakThe Roots of Abraham - 220206Faith is one of the most important things in the Bible and, indeed, life itself. But what does faith look like? What happens when your faith goes for a bit of a slide? The best way to understand faith is not to try and explain it, but to see faith in action, to see someone actually living a real life of faith. That’s what we are going to explore today.

And when they look up at you, smile, and reach out their little hands to you, you can’t stop your heart from melting. Looking at them can, however, cause us to stop and think; "Could these lovely little bundles of joy really start off life as sinners? Was Adam and Eve’s original sin really passed on down to them through their parents?”

2021-02-1528 minLet God SpeakThe Hard Way - 210104One of the most beautiful and powerful things that God has given us is the ability to choose. He took a big risk by giving us that power of choice, but He did it because He loved us. Some choices that we face in life have fairly similar outcomes with no major consequences either way. But there are some choices with vastly different outcomes, and if we choose the wrong path, it can end up being much more difficult than we initially thought.
