    "Prayer to us is not practical; it is stupid, and until we do see that prayer is stupid, that is, stupid from the ordinary, natural, common sense point of view, we will never pray.

    Miss California gets to keep her title. She stood up for marriage, but not for modesty. Is there a contradiction there? We are surely blind if we think the world respects our position when we are not really any different than they are. She certainly represents California well, and probably many ...read more

    Randy Alcorn: How many of us are truly looking forward to the New Earth? Consciously? Daily?

    A bored student at the University of Washington used an Internet auction site to sell his soul to the highest bidder. As it turned out, the top offer was only $400. Since the soul is immaterial, it can’t be extracted from a body like a physical organ such as a heart. The student had to admit, “I ...read more

  • A Shallow View Of Love

    Contributed by Curt Cizek on Sep 24, 2007
     | 1,599 views

    Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes; Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears. These lines spoken by Romeo in Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet, give us a very shallow view of love. Love, to Romeo, is really only infatuation. ...read more

    "The fear of man is being more impressed with man's reaction to our actions than with God's reaction. That's bondage. When we have the fear of God upon us, we are impressed only with God's reaction. We are freed from the concern of what people think. That's freedom! That's release! That's great ...read more

    One Professor of Church History gave this analysis. I think a reason some men "hate going to church" is, ironically enough, that many churches have failed to preach the Gospel. I don’t mean the Gospel of "Jesus dying for my sins." I mean the Gospel of God’s invasion into the ...read more
