August 8, 2010 – SPECIAL STORYTELLING BY FPCD & FPC IDAHO FALLS YOUTH
Have you ever read something in the Bible and thought, “That sounds awful! Why is that in there? I would have left that out.” You might think that about the time of the Judges when “Another generation grew up who did not know the Lord or the work God had done” (2:10). At that time…

June 20, 2010 – Seeing God’s Pain, Religion on the Outside
Many have undergone the trial of doubt when God’s presence seems nowhere to be found. This is not a trial reserved for unbelievers. Mother Teresa struggled with a sense of God’s absence.
