Prices Go Up, Up, Up! What Should
We Do?
In these trying times, should our daily needs seem unattainable, it is important
to remember the encouraging words of Matthew 6:25-34. Here Jesus promises that
if we "... seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness ... all
these things [the necessities for survival] shall be added to you" (verse
33).

What Would an Israel-Iran
Nuclear War Mean?
Iran and Israel have exchanged threats and counter threats regularly in recent

Who Will Be the Next

The Bible shows us that at the climax of this age—immediately before the
second coming of Jesus Christ—another superpower will exist, a modern
successor to the ancient Roman Empire.

The Mars Landing: Why Did We Do
It?
There's no need to travel millions of miles through space to discover more about
the human mind and why we do the things we do, For most of us, the information
we need to begin understanding ourselves is located within a few feet of us
or obtainable via just a few key strokes on a computer. So where is this information?
In the Holy Bible.

Protection for British Consumers
or Thin Edge of the Wedge?
Legislative bodies sometimes fail to realise the end result of their legislation.
This is especially problematic when laws are passed that on the surface seem
to be totally in the best interest of the community but have unexpected consequences.

Stunning Natural Disasters
Every time we hear of catastrophic events, we are reminded of how vulnerable
we are to injury and death. Life is indeed very fragile. And the Bible reveals
that disasters will increase. In describing events of the end time, Jesus
warned that "there will be great earthquakes in various places" as
well as other destructive disasters (Luke 21:11).

Does God Pick Presidents?
All three U.S. presidential candidates profess to believe in God and
Jesus Christ. Each requests His blessing on the nation, exclaiming
at the end of speeches, "May
God Bless America!!!" Therefore it's appropriate to ask the serious question:
Does God involve Himself in the selection of national leaders?

Your name is important to God. When Christ returns, will you have a good name

"When Their Eyes Glaze Over, We Know

are so critical to successful maturing and proper development—an ever
increasing number are indulging in what is likely the most damaging mental addiction
of our modern times.

Easter, Seder or Neither?
You also may wonder, why am I writing about Easter, several weeks after the
celebration date has passed? This year, the dates of Easter and Passover are
several weeks apart. Many if not most people are probably unaware of how this
came about.

Of Rice, Men and God
Have you noticed that you now pay more for your food? The reasons are many.
Part of the cause is the subprime mortgage crisis, strange as that might seem!

Does God Have Any Real Interest in
Jerusalem?
What about the future of Jerusalem and the land of Israel? Many Jews and Christians
are convinced that God has restored the Jews to their homeland for a prophetic
purpose. What do the Scriptures reveal? Will that city ever receive the permanent
peace promised to it by the God of the Bible?
