The writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament said that "there is no new thing under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9) and students of church history never cease to be amazed that the same theories and philosophies arise from time to time in the Church of Jesus Christ. The ONENESS doctrines, which, we are told, have come as a result of a present-day "revelation", are, in reality, a revival of old errors, which were propagated and developed during the early centuries of the Christian era. These old discredited theories were rejected then because they were weighed and found wanting - and, ...

LIFE'S FAT CATS is not a book about our furry friends. It deals with our emotions when we feel others are more blessed than we are. Everybody gets discouraged at some time or another.

This is a very serious condition to be in because discouragement can so easily lead to depression, disillusionment, and despair.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines this movement as "A system of combating disease, etc., without medical treatment by mental effect of a patient's Christian faith". A close study of this cult, however, leaves one with the distinct impression that it is neither "Christian" nor "scientific".

The events of September 11, 2001, brought ISLAM to the attention of the nations in a new way. Academic interest in a people with a different lifestyle began to give way to fascination with a religious group who seemed prepared to sacrifice their very sons and daughters in suicidal missions to attain political ends. Some dismissed the movement as a violent religion, focused on attaining world dominion whatever the cost, Muslims and non-Muslims increasingly eyed each other with suspicion in the political arena, particularly as tensions increased in the Middle East. Others argue that Muslims ...

JEREMIAH lived in very troubled times. As a Prophet of God, he had a very strong message for the people of his time. Known as the “Weeping Prophet”, Jeremiah’s heart broke for his people.

We live in parallel times to Jeremiah. The Rapture of the Church is imminent, but there is still time to ...
