The Bible, the Word of God, is truly amazing! I recently did some research and came across a whole lot of interesting archaeological findings that can proof the authenticity of the stories we read in the Bible. Here are just a few that I would like to share with you. If you click on the highlighted descriptions, you will be directed to the websites where you can read more on each finding. I thus give credit to the involved websites for the images I’ve used. Let’s start with the Ebla Tablets .   1800 clay tablets were found during excavations of the Ebla palace in Northern Syria. On the tablets some familiar Bible stories were recorded, like for instance the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. There is also a creation record that is very similar to the one we find in Genesis 1. Still on the subject of Sodom and Gomorrah . ..  Balls of brimstone have been found at the location, near the Dead Sea in Israel, believed to be the sight where Sodom and Gomorrah once stood.

(1 Tim. 6:11, 1 John 2:6, Phil. 1:10, Phil. 2:13-16, Col. 1:10) But how do we do that? A different way of thinking Everything starts with the way you think. We should think about things di

I have decided to share some of our encounters with God in this post. Simply because I find it encouraging to hear other people’s testimonies. I hope that our testimony might encourage somebody else in return.

Finally alive The biggest, most wonderful miracle that has happened in my life, was the night when I was born again. I was thirteen years old and on a church camp for Grade Sevens. One of the ministers explained salvation and I understood it for the first time. But, I did not respond to the altar call. I knew that this was something between only me and Jesus, (I’m not saying that there are anything wrong with altar calls. But for me, being an introvert, I felt more comfortable dealing with it privately). So, that night, alone in the bunker bed, I made a simple prayer with a sincere heart and went to sleep. The next morning, I imm
