Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Should the government decide what preachers can say from the pulpit: 1 of 33
We, as a nation, are putting ourselves in a compromising position. We are allowing the government to take away one of our basic rights that this nation was built upon. That is the right of religious freedom, all in the name of separation of church and state. It is no longer common or acceptable for an individual to demonstrat... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Defining Christian faith: 5 of 99
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(Hebrews 11:1) Faith in many of the Biblical texts is an action verb, and it means believing as though you experience it now. Faith is what draws our hearts and souls to the Lord, and faith is what guides us on our journey. Without faith it is imp... More..
Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) The decline of the US as a world power: 8 of 47
I am deeply saddened when I look at this great nation. She is still great, but a pale comparison to what she once was. America was once a sanctuary, a place of many freedoms enjoyed by its citizens. It was a place of high ideals and a moral code that could not be duplicated anywhere on the globe. Not too far in our distant pa... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture How a proper understanding of the concept 'fear of God' can save you: 2 of 6
The Bible states that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. But we must ask ourselves how fear can make us to become wise? When we think of fear, we imagine becoming terribly afraid and anxious, and in fear do we think clearly? To understand this fear, we must look at its proper meaning as in the KJV. The word f...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture On the importance of Christian witness: Planting seeds: 4 of 11
Witnessing Jesus Style How did Jesus get so many people to follow him, but we can't get many of our friends and family to come to one service. What secret did He have that we somehow cannot seem to grasp. I think the answer is right there in the word, but we as His people chose to do it our own way. When we look at what Jesus... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms The original sin: 8 of 21
Long before Adam and Eve were in existence the original sin was committed. The Bible weaves the tale of Satan in Isaiah 14:12-20. In his state of pride, Satan declared that he would exalt himself above God, but instead found himself cast down and out of Heaven.

Satan entered the snake and beguiled Eve to eat of the forbidden tree under the guise that she would be as wise as God. Like any human, the thought of being exalted to a higher position intrigued her, so sh... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture If God loves us, why is there so much pain in the world?: 29 of 65
Genesis chapter 1 verse 28 says in part, "replenish the earth and subdue it". From the beginning of time, and out of His love for us, God gave to man the gift of the earth. We were given this sphere that we live on and told to control it. This shows us that the pain in the world is not the result of God, but by man himself, w... More..
