  Why Doesn’t God Just Stop Evil? A Biblical Perspective One of the most common questions asked across generations is this: If God is all-powerful, why doesn’t He simply step in and stop the evil happening in our world? Scripture offers insight that helps us understand this deeply complex question. 📖 Jeremiah 17:9 tells us, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…” This verse reveals a foundational truth — evil is not merely external; it originates within the fallen human heart.

Rather, history is moving toward a divine conclusion in which Christ ultimately conquers every form of evil. God...

  A Moment That Could Change Your Eternity 🙏 It’s early in the morning. Some of you are simply passing time, scrolling, browsing, moving from post to post. Yet somehow, you paused here. That is not an accident. If you already know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior — PRAISE GOD! But if you do not, and something within you is stirring… if you sense that this is your moment, then I invite you to pray with me. 📖 “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” — Romans 10:9–10 Please pray this prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I come to You today just as I am. I confess that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that God raised You from the dead. Today, I confess You as my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart, forgive me, cleanse me, and make me new. From this day forward, I choose to follow You. Thank You for saving me. Amen. If you prayed this ...
