Humanity has not only reimagined God but has also redefined its expectations. Among Christians, many believe happiness is a promise made by God Himself. But what if this pursuit is nothing more than a chase after illusions?

While most of us have been staying inside for several weeks, many leave the safety of their homes every day to help us live our lives as normally as possible.
