Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood Tips for balancing work and fatherhood duties: 1 of 10

As fathers, we have many responsibilities concerning our children. These duties are constantly strained by our need to provide for our family.

Have you ever run across the old bearded man standing on the street corner waving his cardboard sign that reads "The end is near! Repent all ye people! Repent!"

I am very please to announce the conception of our fourth child. I remember well when I emphatically told my wife that we would only have two children. It is amazing how being a father grows on you. I am not going to tell you that it has been easy, in fact there were many challenges on this journey through fatherhood. Helpin...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues What end times might mean to you: 8 of 26

Have we become so complacent and ignorant of the "end times" that it is simply a cliche? Have we forgotten its importance? Maybe it is time to refresh our memory and recall what the end times are all about. Back in the Genesis, man sinned through the deceits of Satan. This sin utterly corrupted the entire earth and all of it...
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: Revelation and the seven churches: 3 of 9

Let's propose a radical idea here. What if the seven churches mentioned in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 are future churches? What if they exist in a time where the earth is in turmoil, where millions of people vanished off the face of the earth, where Satan rules the earth with his Beast and False Prophet? Have you ever looke...

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: The second coming of Christ and the rapture: 17 of 40

The letter from Paul to the saints in Thessalonica must have been very re-assuring almost 2000 years ago, but is there reason for us to worry now? Paul wrote in II Thessalonians 2:1 "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in m...
Sciences > Geology & Geophysics What really killed the dinosaurs?: 3 of 5

What really killed the dinosaurs? Just about every civilization that exists today has a story about a mind boggling flood. The Bible teaches that a flood occurred less than six thousand years ago. This flood covered the entire earth, every mountaintop that existed during that time. I believe that a flood of this magnitude wo...
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: Standing against Satan: 9 of 14

An epic battle has been waging for more than six thousand years, a battle of good versus evil. On one side we have the Omnipotent, Omnipresent God, and on the other Lucifer, the devil. Every living soul on this earth is engaged in this battle, some doing great exploits and others in the background. As a soldier in God's army...
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens when we die?: 66 of 99

I once heard a doctor tell a horrifying story about a man on the operating table. He was performing surgery when suddenly the patient's heart stopped. The doctor reacted quickly to get the heart pumping again, and was astonished when the man sat up and grabbed his shoulders. "Don't let me die! Please, please don't let me die...
