The Purpose of John’s Gospel

It is my objective to consider God's wonderful provision for the children of Israel, that is, manna. In my opinion we can learn some things which will help us face our present economic dilemma. Here, God teaches us to rely upon Him one day at a time.

Sometimes Christians take it upon themselves to judge why it is someone else is going through trials or tribulations. Christians also tend to make the same assessment when those troubles hit home. It is my desire to offer some reasons why God will bring, or allow, trouble to come upon us.
