The future has been abolished! Does that statement seem outlandish? Let me explain. Secularism, whether it's called Secular Humanism or atheism, is the belief that there is no God and no accountability to God in the afterlife. To the secularist death results in the ending of consciousness. Secularists believe that humans evolved from pond s

Many of you reading this article may not have any relationship with God, but I want you to know this, God loves you and cares about you; and desires to bless you.

The Bible is liberal. That's a statement that would make most any modern political commentator cringe. I will show you that if the Bible's laws were implemented in today's society some modern laws (certainly not all) would actually have to be liberalized to conform to the Bible. Secular people claim that the Bible is an ancient book that spok

The winds blew hard and swirled the last small leaves into the wintry air. The barren branches of each tree stood unaffected as a dove flew quietly in and deposited an urgent message from the King of Kings. A message of love and peace on earth rang through the forest. Ending with thoughtful words of warning pleading to all who would listen

For thousands of years religions worldwide have used the discipline of spiritual fasting as a means to pound on the doors of heaven for breakthrough. The concept is that fasting weakens the body and allows the spirit to become more awake and in control-therefore allowing it to receive God's power and direction. Flesh Domination Overall, spir

The war between brother and sister began as the chess board was placed on the center of the table. Tension filled the air with every move. Mom worriedly looked at our faces hoping and praying that we would finish our game in peace and not in another fight. Any game my brother and I played together was certain to lead to a continued standoff.

I have been contemplating a question that often seems to divide brethren; 'Is the silence of scripture restrictive or permissive?' You know all the old arguments....'Can we have a basketball court?' Some say 'Yes, the bible doesn't forbid it!' Others say, 'No, the Bible doesn't mention it!' and round and round we go. Two groups, equally sincere,

Most scholars will agree the Gospel of John is a very important document on Christian theology - often times, more so than the synoptics, which are the works of Matthew, Mark, and Luke! Why? Probably because the way John the Disciple portrays Jesus Christ! John discusses two critical particulars in His Gospel: 1. In the beginning was the

At the end of the day, bathing in the soft light of a candle, lying still on your favorite easy chair, surrender to the silence, and you will find within it, music to disappear in. Franz Kafka, one of the major German-language novelists and short story writers of the 20th century, whose unique body of writing is considered amongst the most influ

No sooner has Thanksgiving Day been celebrated with the family, than the thoughts of adorning the home with Christmas decorations begins. Often the Christmas decorations are packed away in the attic or other storage room within the house waiting to emerge and allow for cascading memories and joy to fall upon the home once again. Often the decora

What can make a kiss so sensational, that it is still talked about and discussed generations later, and even heatedly debated a couple thousand of years later? It makes you wonder, that must have been some kiss! and it really was. The kiss in question was between Jesus and his now infamous disciple Judas Iscariot, whom as you may recall, signal

Compte Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade (1740 - 1814), better known as the Marquis de Sade, was a famous French atheist and writer. He spent 27 years of his adult life in the prisons and insane asylums of the French monarchy, the French Republic, the revolutionary terror and Napoleonic Imperial France.

A strange phenomena has appeared in healing and revival meetings. Unbelievers just off the street receive miraculous healings while devout born-again Christians who've been suffering for years go home sick. Many, including myself, have pondered this for years. In this article I will offer a unique insight from the scriptures that speaks to the

The records of Jesus' prayers constitute a priceless document of one perfect being expressing himself to another. Though Jesus must have been involved in prayer all the time, all we have in the Bible is six prayers of Jesus. There are three kinds of prayers, and we know for sure that the mortal Jesus was involved personally in two of them.
