The latest social issue to dominate the social scene is abortion.  Abortion is the premature ending of the developmental process of an unborn human being.  The social upheaval being broadcasted 24-7 over the airwaves revolves around one central issue–at what stage of development does a fertilized egg become a human being?  Opinions range from the […]

As the nation is convulsing in every kind of failure possible to mankind, calls for religious revival are springing up and growing louder.  And in that America is still the international leader in all areas of human life, what happens here normally filters into all other first and second world nations.  Bear this in mind […]

In chapter three of his epistle to the churches of Crete, Paul again addresses the parishioners of the newly founded churches he had established throughout the nation.  In verses one and two he instructs them to give honor and social obedience to the political leaders and to be always ready to do the right thing […]

The word “bless” in some form (blessed, blessedness, blessest, blesseth, blessing, blessings) is used over 500 times in the Holy Scriptures.  In the Hebrew language the word “bless” is barak.  In the Greek language the word is eulogeo.  In each case the word involves one entity calling forth divine favor upon another entity.  A blessing […]
