In business, it is necessary to understand the relation­ship between the possible price of a product in accor­dance with the demand of said product. We find that people are willing to pay the asking price, provided they perceive a need for the product. The higher the per­ception of

“Ask…the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee” Job 12:7. The year 2018 has been named the Year of the Bird. Shall we take a little time to consider these fascinating crea­tures with their amazing mental, physical, and in­stinctive abilities? Was it mere chance and nothing

Mankind is not always good to its own. In fact, the historical record is a grievous attestation to its atrocities. Hitler’s Germany is but one example. A “superior race” wants to cleanse itself of a “degenerate race.” Others think in terms of white and black races, etc. But,

Although the United States spends more money per student than any other country, the money has failed to produce an academically advanced nation. PISA, one of the biggest cross-national tests, tested the academic levels of 15-year-olds among many different countries in 2015. Out of 71 countries, the U.S.

In all ages and around the globe, man has had some concept of God. However twisted that concept may have been in all its forms, men have had an inward sense of knowing that they are accountable to someone. Someone is more powerful than they are; someone controls

“For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:18 Earth–unique, amazing…home! There

I used to be an atheist. No, not the kind of “atheist” that exhausts him­self trying to disprove God. You know that kind. The ones that leave Santa alone because they know he doesn’t exist, but spend their lives debating about God who they think doesn’t exist. That

Sorrow. Pain. Suffering. All have experienced the meaning of these words. With much pain do we en­ter this world and with pain do we get old and die. Everywhere around us, suffering is evident. We see it in the eyes of the children who call a sidewalk their

“Science, you might say, has discovered that our existence is infinitely improbable, and hence a miracle.”   John Horgan, science journalist “An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to

I feel a certain pity for the youth of this generation. Many of the challenges they face did not exist in prior generations. Their hurts arrive at a younger age, and their distresses arise from a greater variety of sources. Childhood is now too often not as carefree

In Titus 2:3-5, the apostle Paul instructs the older women to teach the younger women to be “keepers at home.” How can the home be kept when the mother is gone most of the time? When the mother fulfills her God-given role, she is foundational in the building

One of the most emotional and contentious issues facing women of our day is the issue of abortion. Governments are involved, public opinion is being swayed to be either “pro-choice” or “pro-life.” Personal decisions are made every day concerning abortion. Perhaps you are in the very throes of

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” 1 Peter 2:9. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,

Am I wasting my time? Wasn’t I made for bigger things? Perhaps any mother has at some moment had such a question presented to her mind, especially in a society that doesn’t view washing dishes, combing hair, changing diapers, scrubbing laundry, or bringing up children as notable achievements.

Every woman deserves to be as naturally beautiful as she was created, and there is nothing wrong with being as presentable as possible. We certainly encourage personal hygiene and consider it reasonable to use, for example, a light-scented body spray, or necessary items for health and upkeep. The

With respect to the household duties and childrearing responsibilities, women were pondering what Betty Friedan in her 1963 book, The Feminine Mystique, referred to as the silent question – “Is this all?” The women’s liberation movement that began in the 1960s and continued into the early 1980s, also

One season must always give way to another. It is the course of nature. We accept it, for it cannot be changed. And, similarly, so it is with mankind. Toddling childhood goes on to become swift-footed youth. Years pass, then mid-life reluctantly moves on to the mature years.

“A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job afterwards.”      Gloria Steinheim, feminist. There was a time in our country when sex was regarded as special and sacred. This relationship was reserved to show in­tense love between a man and a woman, who

The world we live in is tossed with sorrow and confusion. Homes and families are being torn apart. Morals have degenerated. Children struggle to know their identity, and young people commit suicide or use mind-abusing drugs in a vain effort to escape the pain. Crime and war and

Thank God for judgment! When judgment is at work, riffraff is not permitted to mingle with the righteous and pollute the place of the holy. Judgment fixes a great gulf, here in this life, and in the life to come, between the just and the unjust. True judgment

Indifference is often a state of mind of people who intellectually believe in God and in divine revelation. How amazing it is that any being with a mind, a conscience, and a soul can remain indifferent after he has once heard, or once professed to believe that there

Do not think you can make holiness popular. It cannot be done. There is no such thing as holiness separate from “Christ in you,” and it is an impossibility to make Christ Jesus popular in this world. To sinners and carnal professors, the real Christ Jesus has always

Winds of doctrines whistle across the religious terrain, lifting unregenerate waves to raging emulation, casting about dead leaves and branches in swirling gyrations, and bending the grasses and reeds at will. The furious gale sweeps and controls the whole world–it seems. But here is one standing still. In

What is the true Christian position on homosexuality? We say “true position” because there are different ways which those with a supposed Christian world view have responded to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Some “Christians” rant with offensive labels against homosexuals, many of whom lead wicked

Our world has changed–drastically. It is because a dragon, once bound, has been loosed in this end time, just as biblical prophecies declared. According to Bible prophecies, the coming of the Lord will be preceded by certain signs. One such sign clearly indicating the imminence of His return

“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” John 20:21. We have been sent to do an urgent spiritual work. The one purpose of our calling and existence is the promulgation of the everlasting gospel

The church of God is the only institution on earth that is of heavenly origin. It is the only institution on the shores of time that will continue to exist in eternity. All else will pass away with the closing of time. The glory of empires, the magnificence

Christians are to be guided by Bible admonitions, yet many are guilty of the habitual use of expressions the dictionary terms as minced oaths. These are taken from the New Century dictionary. “Gosh, golly” are softened and euphemistic forms for God. “Gee” is a minced form for Jesus.

“Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye

The true minister, convinced, both by revelation and experience, that Jesus Christ alone is able to recover diseased souls, employs every effort to bring sinners into the pres­ence of this heavenly Physician, that they may obtain of Him spiritual health and sal­vation. He is fully persuaded that he

After a brief reminder touching some of Israel’s history, the prophet Hosea summarizes chapter twelve by highlighting both the value and necessity of the prophet in the deliverance and preservation of a people. In this place, it is the people of Israel and the prophet Moses. While Moses

Is God a means used to attain an end or is He the end for which all else is subjected to attain? Is God our servant or are we His servants? This is one great difference between true Christianity and false Christianity. Though they may outwardly do some

Let us endeavour to realize the majesty and terror of the universal alarm on the final Judgment Day. When the dead are sleeping in the silent grave; when the living are thoughtless and unapprehensive of the grand event, or intent on other pursuits; some of them asleep in

Oh, the joy and privilege of knowing God! How could mortal man be more blessed? Enoch walked with God, and so sweet was their walk that God took him (Gen. 5:24)! Yet before this glorious translation, God revealed to this beloved friend–though but the seventh from Adam–things concerning

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matt. 1:21. So simple, yet so far-reaching in their message were these words spoken by the angel to Joseph regarding the birth of God’s own

Where are the leaders—political or religious—with backbone today? Where are the men and women with moral convictions? While the nations are being pressured to succumb to the demands of a liberal, ungodly minority, one has to wonder. The extremely aggressive homosexual movement is piping and the nations are

We still believe in a literal hell. Hell–a place of everlasting punishment with eternal, burning flame. Although it isn’t fashionable to believe such in our “enlightened” age, we still do. The Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists have robbed hell of its eternal aspects through their concepts of

No hearse, no body, and no entourage to a cemetery. The remains have been cremated. The ashes have been mixed with cement and made into an artificial reef, which is then placed in the sea. One such “cemetery” is Neptune off the coast of Florida. Corals and other
