    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.

    But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

    Our culture would have us to believe there is a sea of ’truths’ to choose from in determining our beliefs and ethics. The 10 Commandments hold for us ultimate truth & meaning from an ancient past towards an eternal future.

Death is an unavoidable, inevitable experience. It is the last experience we encounter in the physical, natural ...read more
