                    "When we sin, we are judged because in that moment of choosing sin we are actually electing the absence of God in our lives at that point.  You see, [sin and salvation are] always relational.  Sin separates us from God--that’s the point--sin is our embrace of the absence of God in our

                    There was a law in Tokyo around the year 1900 that no foreigner could take up residence there unless he had a "substitute."  There were natives who hired themselves out for this purpose.  If the foreigner broke any law, the substitute suffered the penalty for it, even if the penalty was death.

“I have found that any discussion with modernists about the weaknesses of the theory of evolution quickly turns into a discussion of politics, particularly sexual politics.  [Modernists]

                    2nd law of thermodynamics requires that a “closed system” eventually moderates so that no more energy is being produced.  Unless something is added from the outside, the system decays and dies.  Without added fuel, the hot water in the

                    The law of first things says that Whatever is done with the first determines the rest. Why is that so important to God? If He is God, He doesn’t need my sheep or my money! That’s true. He puts this principle in His word because He wants

                    The Law of Familiarity reads:  “All things of value will, with the passage of enough time, be taken for granted.”  It is very difficult to keep intensity for a long period of time.  
	This is true in driving a car.  When we first drive, we are so cautious.  We keep our hands at 10 & 2.  But it’s

                    There is a new law in Finland regarding speeding. On February 11, 2004, Helsinki police stopped Jussi Salonoja, a 27-year-old Finnish sausage maker, driving 80 kilometers an hour in a 40-kph zone.
	Salonoja is no stranger to illegal speeds. In 2000, he was caught cruising the highway at 200
