When watching friends and families torn apart by differences in beliefs, or children dying from starvation or horrible diseases, or the effects of natural disasters, have you ever wondered where God was and why he appeared to be doing nothing? Today we take a brutally honest look at this issue. And if you aren't ready to have your beliefs challenged, or if you tend to become offended by significantly different religious beliefs, you may wish to skip this one.

You probably know the words of a great hymn that say, "He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake." Okay, so they're not from a hymn. But have you ever questioned why some of us do primarily things that are good, why others do more things that are harmful, and why we all have the tendency to do a bit of both? Today we take a look at one perspective on this issue, as we consider whether any of us do good For Goodness' Sake.

Most of us would say we love truth, perhaps more than just about anything. But how far would we go in our pursuit of believing as many true things and as few false things as possible?

If your loved ones were in heaven with paper and pen, what might they write to you today? And if the memories of them in your head could somehow gain a voice to speak, what would they say?

What does it mean to be the hands and feet of Jesus? Does it mean we walk on water? Heal the sick? Raise the dead? Curse out-of-season fig trees? Or is there something more realistic we can put into practice that makes a positive difference in others' lives? Today we talk about this topic as we ponder what it means to be Jesus' Hands and Feet.

Today many of us celebrate Father's Day. We generally think of good things to say about fathers, and talk about how God is the perfect father.
