What if you just had one more day to live, what would you do with it? If you could live your life all over again, what would you do differently? How much time have you spent worrying instead of doing something you love? Life is far too short; the thread of life is so brittle. Human beings have scarcely begun to live when they begin to die.... You are cautioned in the Bible to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16). But time wasted can never be recovered, so how can you redeem your time?

Your brothers and sisters from Ukraine.” They wrote: “We appeal to you at this dark time for us, when clouds black from explosions cover the sun over our capital.

If you’ve ever smashed your thumb with a hammer or experienced the death of a loved one, you know what excruciating pain feels like. The word “excruciating” comes from two Latin words: “ex” as in the English word “exit” meaning “out,” and “crucia” referring to the crucifix or the cross. So, “excruciating” literally means “out of the cross” or the pain Jesus suffered when He was crucified. If you are right now facing excruciating pain, Jesus understands, and we want to share with you the way Your Saviour dealt with severe pain. Our hope is that His example will help you.
