    In the ancient world, the cross was a depraved and distasteful affair. Romans used it, but the sparse reference to it in their literature shows their aversion to it. They considered it a barbarian form of punishment Similarly, the Jews detested it.

    "Babylon" adapts itself to every age, even creates the age, and moves easily from its ancient beginnings to world empires. We travel all the way to the Book of Daniel, Biblically, in this segment.

    3: ENTER THE PATRIARCHS We are not totally aware of what Satan knew and didn't know, and how he planned his counter-attack on the design of God.

    I believe the best way to communicate is meeting face to face. Yet we try to substitute this most ancient and proven way with technology and social Media and have become terribly disconnected as a result.

    A face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email In research Mahdi Roghanizad of Western University and I conducted, recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we have found that people tend to overestimate the power of their persuasiveness via text-based ...read more
