Remember asking your parents for something that you really wanted but for whatever reason they told you to wait? No doubt you wanted the object of your desire right then and there. Waiting seemed like such a difficult task, but you did it and for your patience your parents gave you what you […]

Europe’s greatest continental divide the chasm between scientific research and theology has begun to close, as scores of university institutes and medical associations from Arkhangelsk to Zurich are gathering to see how the two fields might help each other. The movement, though, is at a glacial pace, as an increasingly secular Western Europe […]

There are hundreds of named men and women in the Old Testament. Merely to list all of their names would fill many pages and be of little profit. If you want to investigate every one of them, I recommend Herbert Lockyer’s books, All the Women of the Bible and All the Men of the Bible, […]

What is it with angels and digital clocks? I fell asleep just
after 11pm and am still trying to recover from the switch to

We have seen a mother hire a hit man to eliminate her daughter’s competition in baton twirling championships. […]

The six-hospital STEP project, the largest study ever conducted on distant intercessory prayer, has just confirmed that distant prayer has no beneficial effect on cardiac patients. The large multiple-hospital MANTRA II study published last year also showed that distant prayer had no beneficial effects.
