How can we be effective as Christians in a world that has gone crazy?
11 points to ponder!
1.  Look outside yourself and circumstances for a moment.  There is more in the world than this – much more.  1 Cor 2:9

2.  Why did God breathe into man causing humans to have a soul? Why [...]

2 Cor. 4:6, 7 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power [...]

God hears the voice of the believer. This psalm points that it IS okay to prayer out loud. Sing your praises and prayer and petitions to God! God does hear His children. Go back to Psalm 115 for a moment.
