“Do you believe in spirits?” Ask any professing belief in Christ this question and they will return with an unqualified “yes.” Ask them to describe the spirits or their world and the conversation quickly deteriorates. Most Christians, like their unbelieving counterparts, give little if any thought to such things, relegating them to some ethereal realm, outside of human awareness or comprehension. Yet, if we as believers are indeed spiritual, should we not have a greater understanding of such…

The Bible tells us of a time when Christians will be persecuted en masse for their refusal to recant their faith in Christ. Despite the protestations of millions of misguided believers that they will be raptured away from trouble before tribulation comes, the mainstream media is already taking the steps necessary to demonize those who believe the fundamental precepts taught in the Bible.…

They are perhaps the most powerful weapons of the New World Order. Small and virtually powerless on their own, their use as a bargaining chip is almost certain to trigger the most basic instinct to protect them at any cost.

The very notion strikes the majority of humankind to be paranoid fantasy. That such was predicted in the Bible moves the faithless to denounce believers as superstitious fools. When the major media reports that the technology is already in place and being readied for use, the masses react with characteristic indifference.

Atheism is the belief that there is nothing in existence that can be called God. This author has pondered the arguments of Atheists and their inclusion in the Religion and Spirituality section of this publication with some amusement. By and large, their arguments are antithetic.

We have heard it before. Christian fundamentalism is dangerous. The Atheists publish anti-Christian diatribes declaring us to be a danger to society. The Saudi government says it.One need not preach violence to be branded dangerous if one is vociferous in defense of the truth.

It is considered to be the most important holy day on the Christian calendar. It is the day that even nominal Christians attend church services. It is also as pagan as a visit to a shrine prostitute. Modern Christians call it, Easter. The Pagans called her by many names. She was known as Aphrodite, Cybele, or Sybyl, Diana, Electra, Europa, Isis, Venus, Semiramis, Ashtoreth and Astarte, -- Ishtar. While pretending to worship Christ during this spring festival, modern Christians honor her as…

Considering the fact that nearly every “holiday” or celebration in the western word has some pagan connection, Christians are right to be wary of observing the day known as “April Fools Day.” The question does naturally arise whether the observance of “April Fools Day” is something the believer in Christ should observe.
Although it can be shown to have been observed in many countries over hundreds of years, an examination of the origin of this observance shows…

Most professing Christians believe that Passover is a “Jewish” holiday, not essential to the practice of our faith. Although much lip service is given to following Christ’s example in the mainstream church, few consider the fact that both Christ and his disciples kept the Passover. The question as to whether we should keep it can be found in the ultimate authority we have been given: The Bible.…

There has been much back and forth in the media about Barack Obama and his plans for America's future. It might be comical if not for the fact that much of what is posted in defense of these plans is lacking in reason. The assumption is that if you are not supportive of Obama (or the Democrat agenda), you must be Republican. This makes as much sense as assuming that if something is not black, it must be white. This misrepresentation of fact is the practice of mind manipulation in its highest…

Separation of Church and State. It’s an expression often used in the press. This phrase is trotted out each time some atheistic theophobe complains that a Christian prays in a publicly owned place or a nativity scene is placed in front of a fire house.
