Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'return void' mean?
To 'return void' means to come back empty-handed, without accomplishing anything. God says His Word NEVER does this. Every scripture spoken, every promise declared, every truth planted is working — even when results aren't immediately visible.
How is God's Word 'alive'?
Hebrews 4:12 calls it 'quick' (living) and powerful. Unlike any other text, Scripture carries the life of its Author. It diagnoses, heals, convicts, comforts, and transforms. The same verse can speak differently to you at different stages of life because it is alive.
