When God Is Silent: Learning to Trust in the Waiting Blog Name: Walks With the Lord When God Is Silent: Learning to Trust in the Waiting There are seasons in every believer’s life when the voice of God seems absent. The prayers that once brought peace now echo back in silence. The scripture that once leapt off the page feels flat. The nearness of His presence feels distant. It’s in these quiet seasons—these long, seemingly empty stretches—that our faith is tested, refined, and grown. But silence does not mean absence. Stillness does not mean abandonment. In fact, the silence of God can be a holy invitation: a call to trust deeper, wait longer, and walk closer.

Their stories comfort us and assure us that silence is not unusual—it’s often the very soi...

Can Science and Faith Coexist? A Christian Perspective Blog: Walks With the Lord In a world increasingly shaped by scientific discoveries, data, and technology, many Christians find themselves wrestling with a pressing question: Can science and faith truly coexist? For centuries, some have positioned science and religion as opposing forces — one rooted in evidence and the other in belief. However, from a Christian perspective, this supposed conflict is not only unnecessary but also misrepresents both the nature of science and the depth of biblical faith. As followers of Christ, we are called to seek truth. In fact, we believe that all truth is God’s truth , and that includes the truths uncovered through scientific inquiry. When rightly understood, science and faith are not enemies but partners — each illuminating different aspects of God’s magnificent creation. Let’s explore how these two can harmoniously coexist through a Christian lens, guided by Scripture and grounded in truth...
