The only place we can find a clear, unmistakable message is in the Word of God, which we call the Bible.
Our world is constantly changing but the needs of our hearts remain the same, and so does God's power to transform our lives and give us hope for the future.
The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing of circumstances and most bitter environment.

Learn to keep close to Jesus, to listen to His voice, and follow Him.
By faith I accepted Him for what He claimed to be, the Son of the Living God. That simple decision changed my life, and I have seen it change the lives of countless others across the world.
Auschwitz stands as a tragic reminder of the terrible potential man has for violence and inhumanity.
The Bible is the Constitution of Christianity.
