We receive news of our world in a number of ways: newspapers, other print media, TV, radio, internet, speeches and conversation. Is that really true? Do you believe what you read, hear, and see? And if your response is “sometimes,” then how do you discern what you believe and what you discount as a lie? C. S. Lewis, one of the most brilliant Christian writers and scholars of the twentieth century, once wrote what he thought of newspapers, “I never read the papers. Why does anyone? They’re...

Lawlessness
May 6, 2010
Scriptural Basis: “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so until he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of His coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan…and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth...

Ashes for Make-Up

What’s Wrong With Kids These Days?
September 3, 2009
By Glenda Anderson If I were to categorize the biggest behavioral problems I see in teenagers today, there are seven: Anger, Apathy, Deceit, Depression, Disrespect, Laziness, and Rebellion. The latter, of course, is the core behavioral problem out of which all the others emanate. Satan rebelled against his Creator, and refused to submit to God’s ultimate authority. He rose up and asserted himself to wrestle God for control. Isaiah 14:14 describes his real motivations: “You said in your heart,...

These and others are tragedies to the nation or community because of the large number of people affected...
