Much of today?s religions system, call it what you will - New Age, cults, modernism, liberation theology, relativism, whatever - but much of what even passes for religion today is false religion.. There are many, many pastors in mainstream Christian denominations that say Jesus is just ONE WAY of getting to heaven, that maybe there was no such thing as the virgin birth, that social action is more important that personal evangelism, that homosexuality is an acceptable lifes...

Don?t be an obnoxious Christian Just because you face opposition and hatred or prejudice, don't automatically think that it's because you are a Christian. You may be disliked simply because you are not very likable. It's true. Being arrogant, having spiritual pride, being a snob and looking down your nose at those "worldly" neighbors or co-workers is NOT Christ-like behavior. If you act like that, and a lot of Christians do, no wonder people don't like you. So ...

Neither the body nor the mind can survive without food. As the body derives its energy from the food that we eat, our mind begets sustenance from what we read. What we read continually shapes our personality. Thus to satisfy the various facets of our personality, we need to zero on to the correct magazine that will provide healthy sustenance for our starved soul. In today?s mechanical world where every thing gets done with the click of a mouse, magazines are like a breath ...

God is willing to give us whatever we ask but many times we struggle with knowing what we want. We go back and forth between different things and actually hinder our own prayers. Making a decision, and being clear about what we are praying for, is one of the secrets to getting our prayers answered.

I have been to India upon a number of occasions. The primary purpose of these memorable journeys was not only to revel in India?s spiritual and magical energies, but also to observe and experience the techniques and examples of the Masters. Many of the profound parables I share with you on my blog are my versions of stories based loosely from the lips of those Masters. The stories are pregnant with meaning. "If a million people say or do an idiotic thing, it is still an id...

Through the study of Revelation chapter 17, the Lord has led us to a most startling truth, confirming that we are nearer to the end of all things than ever imagined. We are prompted by our loving God to share this prophecy, that none need be ensnared by the global events soon to transpire which will engulf the world in the grandest deception yet contrived by Satan.

In the midst of a long list of who begat whom is a short, two verse, story about an honorable man and his prayer. It was a prayer that God answered. This powerful Old Testament prayer can serve as a model for our own prayers.

For anyone who holds that the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was a man-made hoax conspired by a group of disciples should check out what happened to them. It verifies the truth of the Bible. For 11 of the 12 apostles, and many thousands of other early Christians, died for believing this story. This is dramatic, since they all witnessed the events of Jesus and still went to their deaths defending their faith. Why is this dramatic, when many throughout...

The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith. In Paul?s first letter to the Corinthians, he declares: ?And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.? Two verses later he repeats himself: ?And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile,? Paul says again. The resurrection of Jesus is challenged today on evidentiary grounds. Therefore, to be fair, the evidence should be judged like any other historical event. ...

Hellenic polytheism, also known as the Ancient Greek religion or "Dodekatheon"-a term that comes from the number twelve, which in Greek is pronounced "dodeka"-has been extensively studied over the centuries as a vital part of the ancient Hellenic times. The Twelve Olympians, residing according to Hellenic mythology in Mount Olympus, encompassed human and divine characteristics that were portrayed in the popular stories of the times. Although Greeks did not have a term for rel...
