We have a wooden nativity of Mary, Joseph and Jesus that sits outside our house and at night a yellow spotlight shines directly on it. It kept blowing over from its position. As I continued trying different things to keep it in place, my mind began to think of a lesson in this annoying problem. A

We’ve all heard this maxim, particularly in the Christian community. No Robert Frank, a Cornell University economics professor, is trying to prove it quantitatively in his new book luxury Fever: Why Money Fails to Satisfy in an Era of Excess. Yacht makers are so backlogged that used boats sell for

“We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism...To your knees, man! and to your Bible! Decide at once! Don’t hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God,
