When God is Silent, What Then?

Do you remember back in school days when the teacher distributed a test, placed it face-down on each desk, and  said,  “No talking.  This is a test.” And for the remainder of the hour the teacher never said a word and the students dared not to speak.  The classroom filled with utter silence. 

Deepest Desire

When we let worldly desires drive us to satisfy our deepest desires for the moment at hand, we scatter our energy to the wind.  It could be compared to chasing after perfection in a fallen world which makes as much sense as trying to swat a gnat  when there’s a lion in the room ready to pounce.
