All We Need is Just a Little Patience
We live in a culture relentless devoted to immediacy. Virtually anything we desire can be made ours in an instant. Even the things that may “take some time” can be accomplished absurdly fast thanks to the overwhelming technological advancements of the last few decades. I think God probably enjoys our ingenuity in creating these systems and tools, but we must realize our culture of...

It’s because the idea of achieving the impossible is written in our hearts and within our DNA by God Himself. This is why David and Goliath is among the most popular Bible stories of all-time and has become ubiquitous in our culture. This is why Susan Boyle was an overnight sensation....
