Is God real or just an outdated concept? Who is God? Do we need God or can we get along fine without Him? These were some of my questions about God before I came to faith. This site provides answers to questions about God, evidence for God's existence , His care and love for mankind, and His provision for joyful living both now and into eternity through His Son, Jesus Christ .
Evidence for God from Science
Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German monk , priest, professor of theology and iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation . [ 1 ] He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor. Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin.

I regularly hear the phrase, “Let’s show God’s love and if necessary we’ll use words.” I’m not sure if I have especially tuned my ears to this phrase or not, but I hear it a lot these days. Most of the time those who say that think I am going to light up in agreement with them. It’s true, I light up alright, but not in the way they expect. The norm is to share words when we serve others. It’s abnormal to keep quiet, to not open our mouths, when we connect with others when we see their hearts open in a moment of vulnerability.
