When things are going your way, trusting the Lord is easy. But when painful trials, unmet needs, or lost dreams assail, do you wonder if God can still be trusted? What do you do when facing a challenge that seems insurmountable? Do you believe God can be trusted?

Charles Stanley reveals three essential beliefs for trusting God — 1 ) God is perfect in His love,  2 ) God is infinite in wisdom,  3 ) God is absolutely sovereign.

Even when you cannot understand why God would allow certain situations to occur, these core beliefs form the basis for trusting Him. Your ability to receive the blessings God has for you is determined by the degree to which these wise truths are embedded in your soul. You can face any circumstance with confidence and hope because it is not your strength, wisdom, energy, or power that is the ultimate source of victory. It is God’s ability. When you trust Him, you tap into an eternal force that cannot be harnessed by any human constraints.

This is a message of hope for anyone struggling to reconcile the suffering and turmoil in the world with a loving God. Pastors, ministers, and Bible study leaders will find a resource for teaching their communities about God’s promises and how to deepen their trust in Him.

In Virtual Reality Church, theologians Darrell Bock & Jonathan Armstrong present a systematic reflection on how to faithfully apply virtual reality for ministry purposes. They examine the Risks — like compromising the meaning of tangible worship, and Opportunities — like safely reaching persecuted churches, of integrating revolutionary technologies into the Christian life. 

As virtual reality becomes increasingly prominent throughout society, churches must assess how to respond thoughtfully and biblically. Learn to think critically, theologically, and pastorally about new technologies so that you can faithfully advance the gospel into the future.
