Bernice Kanner states in her book, "Are you Normal About Money," "What surprised me most was the incredible lengths that some people will go to for money. For example, 21% said they would wolf down a worm for $300, while 26% said they wouldn’t touch it for less than $1000. Meanwhile, 59% would

There are some events you’d just rather not be a part of.
For example, on November 2, 2002, a coalition of atheist organizations (such as American Atheists, the Young Atheist Society, and the Institute for Unicorn Research) will be sponsoring the “Godless Americans March on Washington”. After so

What if we covered the entire North American continent with dimes 239,000 miles deep, which would extend all the way to the moon. Now pile dimes from here to the moon on a billion other continents the size of North America. Now, paint one dime red and mix it into the billion piles of dimes and

1 Pet 2:21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 Pet 2:22 "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." 1 Pet 2:23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he

The difference between forgiveness and restoration:
I believe that there is often a misconception Christians have about forgiveness. Some wrongly assume that saying your sorry is enough. But the truth is that the victim can often see the difference between a hastily uttered apology and genuine

When Jesus first sent Peter and the others out to heal the sick, He gave them the necessary power to do it (see Matt. 10:1). The Greek word for this power is exousia, which carries with it the meaning that the power is not inherent but delegated by a higher authority. It is similar to the power an

The author, C.S. Lewis, was writing an analogy. He was saying “This is our world--it is not the way it is supposed to be.”
Why is there so much hate and distrust between people at your work or school or family?
Why do mothers miscarry, and why are babies born with deformities?

It is sometimes hard to imagine the wrath of God because most (if not all) of our experience with wrath and anger has been selfish anger. The two hundred pound man who flings the hundred pound woman across the room in a drunken rage. The mother of the four-year-old boy that flies off the handle

When I was a boy some adults were joking about the answer to a question. One said, “Oh, I would tell you the truth three or four different ways before I would like to you.” Some people actually do that, even until this day.
A classic example is the Great International Horse Race that took placing

SELF-DESTRUCTION
The same way a lot of people have destroyed what the Lord rightly gave to them with their own hands. The case of a governor of one of the states in Nigeria is a very good example. He jumped bail in England and was removed on coming back home. There was also the case of one boy who

To “love your neighbor as yourself” is best described in Matthew 7:12 - "Do for others what you would like them to do for you.” In other words to love God supremely and to love other people purely is the Bible in a nutshell. It is the beginning and end of life the way God intended it to be lived.
