Pope Francis, Climate Change and Sunday Sacredness
The issue of climate change has risen to an unprecedented level 0f national and international consciousness. One is forced to ask, ‘is this simply accidental or is it being craftily planned and orchestrated as part of, or perhaps central to, a broader hidden agenda? Donald J. Boudreaux, a professor of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University remarked, “Any clear-eyed examination of daily capitalist reality reveals that the environment within which each of us lives today is far more sanitary, safe, and pleasant – far less polluted – than was the daily environment of our
Dr. Benjamin Carson: God’s Man For Such A Time As This
The 2016 presidential landscape is permeated with the aura of religious sentiments. Particularly on the Republican side, religion seems to be the defining criterion in the race for the White House. The candidates, declared and undeclared, are bombarded with their views on faith and morality. Same sex marriage is at the top of the list; but issues such as abortion and religious liberty continue to play major roles in the drama of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Ted Cruz, the first Republican to declare his run for the presidency, epitomizes this sentiment. Not only did he choose to announce his run for

None of this, however, embodies what God intended this emblem of supreme sacrifice to be. The cross of Calvary was not designed to be taken lightly as so many take it to
A Greater Storm Is Coming
In recent times, there has been increasing attacks on the word of God. More and more, men are making sin to be righteousness and calling righteousness sin. Religious Liberty is at a crossroad as it becomes ever so difficult to honor God as one’s conscience dictates. To stand for truth and righteousness is to be maligned by the proponents of popular culture. This is all leading to a tectonic crisis of apocalyptic proportions. It is verily a storm, one that is unlike any other, that is brewing on the horizon of salvation history. One famous Bible commentator puts it this way,
Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust the Bible
The Bible is a precious book. It is a unique book, truly like none other. It makes the drunkard sober. It takes the liar and make him truthful. It takes the lady of the night and makes her a jewel in the crown of its author. It makes the profligate honest. The Bible has been translated into more languages, tongues and dialects than any other book. The Bible is its own expositor. It is verily the word of God. All human teachings are subordinate to it. It needs no man’s philosophy, theology, nor ideology to comprehend its teachings. It’s teachings
