With rare exception, when a thinker focuses mentally on a single subject, that subject will eventually manifest itself in physical action. Second Life is no exception. Sexual predators fantasize, sometimes for years, extensively about raping females before doing the act. The same is true of serial killers. They are known to daydream about killing people, often […]

Second Life–one of the latest venues in which man is allowed to escape reality and create one of his own–has reached the big time in its relatively short existence. Large corporations such as Adidas, Sony, Dell Computers and Toyota are venturing into it, which indicates the game’s growing popularity.

Adam and Eve dreamed about it; their descendants sought for it; modern man demands it. “It” is the perfect life which, translated means MAN IN CHARGE.

Out of each 24 hour day, the normal working person has anywhere from one to eight hours during which he/she can do whatever he/she wants to do. Retired people have much more free time. God commands that we redeem a goodly portion of our free time for the purpose of learning about and communicating with Him. We will all […]

An old expression–“Time is of the essence”–is certainly true in this time-oriented world of scheduled responsibilities. It is even more true in the spiritual realm.

Now with the world in every pocket and instantly available, the entertainment industry has pushed its offerings to new heights in order to satisfy the titillation-obsessed minds of the American public. But she is not alone. From what I can gather, the rest of civilized world […]

As we are told in 1 Peter 5:8, Satan is like a lion, walking about seeking whom he may devour. A lion does not announce his presence until it is too late. With a roar he pounces on his unsuspecting subject. The devil does the lion one better, he doesn’t announce his presence at all–ever–except in […]

I had “come to myself” to find that I had spent valuable time mentally lost in another world, a very popular a world controlled by Satan, a world that caters to the flesh by allowing man to periodically leave the real world and enter into one where the most evil aspects of man’s imagination becomes his momentary reality. Satan’s world is unique in that it […]

According to Webster’s Concise Dictionary of the English Language–Encyclopedic Edition, the word “redeem” has several meanings which depend on the context of the situation. Relative to the spiritual world the word means to regain possession, to rescue, to make worthwhile. Bible students recognize these meanings as they apply to the spiritual condition of mankind and his future. However, […]
