Have you ever wondered, "Why Christmas?" The answer seems simple enough, "We have Christmas to celebrate Jesus' birthday." Jesus' birthday is the what, not the why. Jesus' birthday is what we celebrate on Christmas. But why do we celebrate His birth? Going a bit deeper, maybe we should ask why Jesus was born in the … Continue reading Why The What

Timeline Of The Mark
There may be an underlining thought out there that we are nearing the time when the Antichrist will cause everyone to receive a mark to buy or sell. I bring this up because I usually receive emails asking about something I have recently written. However, I have received multiple emails about this topic in the … Continue reading Timeline Of The Mark
The Sins Of A Nation
"I quit my job today." "What happened?" "My boss is a jerk! He got mad at something and went on a tyraide! He just started yelling and screaming. No one is going to talk to me that way!"

Christian Are You In Debt?
Before we begin, this week's column is not about money. There will be no talk of any program to show you how to pay off your creditors quickly or an advertisement for a low-interest loan. I have never understood how borrowing money gets someone out of debt. The Apostle Paul does talk about Christians being … Continue reading Christian Are You In Debt?
Easter The Holiday
Easter has always been an intriguing holiday for me. Not what the holiday is about; the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but how people celebrate the day. By saying how people celebrate the day, I am not talking about bunnies and eggs; I am referring to how some will give the day reverence, yet ignore its … Continue reading Easter The Holiday
