I've had a very difficult life the last year or so, and if God knew how I really feel about Him, He'd probably be very angry at me. But I can't help how upset I feel at Him, because surely God could have kept these bad things from happening to me, couldn't He?

The Bible is not just the work of its human writers, but also God’s word

Practical changes can end poisonous arguments over money

The only thing my wife and I ever argue about is money. We wish we could stop, and we try, but then something comes up and we're back at it. We even pray about it, but that doesn't seem to help. What are we doing wrong?

Forgiving and forgetting past hurts is the only way to find peace

When troubles come, a strong faith carries you through to better times

My neighbor has had some serious personal problems recently, and she blames them all on God. She says she doesn't want anything more to do with Him anymore and gets very upset if I even mention praying about her problems. How can I help her?

Taking care of our bodies honors God, who created us
