  • Believers Die Well
    This is one of most potent stories of martyrdom in human history. The death of this great saint was prophesied in scripture and occurred just as the Bible said it would. The strength and power of this one man's testimony should instill courage in every Christian heart.
  • You Won't See This One Coming
    Here is a different slant on the conservative vs. liberal issue. Too often we Christians think that politics and legislation is the way to reform. While much can be accomplished with good and moral laws on the books, it takes more to effect social change.
  • Darwin Applauds Christianity
    While Charles Darwin certainly deserves the discredit for promoting evolution theory, he does not wholly deserve the blame for the damage this theory has done as it itself has "evolved". Darwin made some comparisons between evolution and Christianity that will shock both evolutionist and creationists alike
  • People, Not Animals Have Sixth Sense
    Without trying to be revolutionary, this article points out that humans, not animals have a sixth sense. Dogs seeing spirits, cats seeing ghosts and all that hubba bubba is fodder for Hollywood movies. It is people who can perceive the supernatural and not animals.
  • Bearing False Witness Against God
    The ignorant comment of a popular radio talk show host, where she blames God for evil, reflects an attitude that is found even among Christians. Believers need to guard themselves from falling into such an attitudinal rut.
  • Atheism at Its Worst
    Christianity is put on trial by a well-known atheist. Could it be that atheism serves society better than Christianity? A poignant look at atheism at it's worst.
  • Homesick for Heaven
    A candid look at the differences in faith for young Christians (those young in the faith) and older, more seasoned Christians. New converts will learn much from this lesson.
  • What a Difference a Day Makes
    A candid look at the disparity between the world and Christianity over what day is the first day of the week. It may seem trivial to some, but as in most things, there are greater implications to one's view than can be seen on the surface of a matter.
  • Difficult Verses in the Bible
    Why is it that believers shy away from difficult passages in scripture? Even the most popular commentaries seem to skip over them. The Bible says that some scripture is "hard to be understood", but by growing in grace we can come to an place of understanding.
  • The Miraculous Mirror Box
    The theory behind one of the most extraordinary therapeutic ideas in psychology can be applied by a believer to their own life to draw them closer to the Lord. Too many Christians live frustrated spiritual lives because they simply cannot see themselves the way the Lord wants them to be.
  • When the Clouds Turn to Dust
    Many Christians buy into secular philosophy without even knowing they have done so. They forget that the enemy is clever, deceitful ad above all, subtle. If we focus on the greatness of God, many of the vain deceits of the world will not impact upon us.
  • Not Giving the Devil His Due
    Worldly cliches are tiresome and vexing to the soul. One of the most outrageous to this writer is "Give the Devil His Due". I have never understood the intent behind that statement, but it does make the meaning of the Apostle Paul's words much clearer in his letter to the Ephesians, where he writes "Neither give place to the Devil."
  • The King James Version, Inspired or Not
    If you put two Christians together they will find something to argue about in short order. The topic of "inspiration" is no exception as many vehement arguements have occured. It appears the root of the conflict is a misunderstanding of the words "inspiration" and "preservation".
  • A Love Letter from God
    A sailor makes a comparrision of love letters received from his wife to the Word of God.
  • How to Believe in Miracles
    The results of a poll of Christians that asked the question "which miracles of the Bible do you least believe" are shocking. A good example is offered to show why we should never doubt the Word of God.
  • Heaven Is Going to Be A Shock to You
    Many a theologian have stated that heaven will be whatever it takes to make you happy. Is this true? Is that what the Bible teaches or are most believers in for a big shock?
  • Are You a Doormat
    What does it really mean to be "meek"? Some think it means you are weak. Others call it "controlled strength". Which, if either is correct?
  • A Sailor's Craft
    A true to life story. Ride along with a sailor who allows his pride to put himself and passengers at risk. Good applications for faith and trust.
  • You Only Have Days to Live
    Christians literally only have days to do the work God has for them. A fresh look at how we should use them.
  • Religion without Faith
    There is a new trend, a new age philosophy that eliminates faith from religion. Are you falling prey to it?
  • Don't Forget to Remember to Forget
    God not only forgives our sins, but he promises that he forgets them - that he totally removes them from his memory. There are times when it is good for us to emulate this characteristic.
  • How to Fool God
    Are you a "play church" type of Christian? Read about "Johnny and the Rat" and see if you see yourself in this little boy.
  • The Art of God
    God is the original artist. Made in his image, we are a type of self-portrait. What "image" do you reflect?
  • How to Have Joy Though Unhappy
    Words are important, especially when there is scriptural applications at play. Joy and happiness seem to mean the same thing, but do they?
  • The Tears of God
    What could cause the Son of God to cry? What could bring very God to tears?
  • Rescuing Eve - Setting the Record Straight
    Eve has borne the ire of Christians throughout the history of the human race for being the catalyst for the fall of mankind. The Bible places the blame elsewhere.
  • The Ten Suggestions of God
    The Ten Commandments are more than just commandments. They are sage suggestions on how one should live a life, replete with incentives.
  • The Lord is His Pastor
    A battle of wits between a tribal chief and a young missionary candidate culminates with the chief claiming that Jesus was going to be in his village in two days. A real surprise awaited the young missionary.
