How much do you know about Buddhism? Most Biblical Christians know next to nothing about Buddhism. For example, most think that it was started by a man named Buddha. Actually, “Buddha” is not a name, but a title, just as “Christ” is a title....

There are millions of semi-Christians and pseudo-Christians who think of God as a kind-heart philanthropist. They picture the Lord as a Being full of love and good wishes for all His creatures, but Who is, unfortunately, incapable of really taking good care of them....

Fictional literature abounds with stories about people being mistaken for other people. Sometimes the hero, or villain, chooses to be mistaken for someone else, as in “A Tale of Two Cities.” But then, in what are usually funnier stories, there are...

In the late 1950’s the U.S.S.R. jumped into space, and the Americans knew that they would have to keep up. President Kenney made his promise; the NACA became NASA, and work began toward putting an American on the moon. First came the Mercury project, which...

Paul, the missionary, had a pattern which he tried to follow whenever he entered a new city. The first thing that he would do was to make contact with the Jews of that community. Sometimes it was a thriving synagogue. He would respectfully sit in one of the services...

As I tried to point out this morning, I don’t think that there were many Jews in Rome when Paul arrived. And for that matter there probably were not many Christians either, even though in a few months or a couple of years they would be accused of burning down a large...

One night during the 2nd year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, had very disturbing dream. It wasn’t the dream that so many people have – with the feeling of falling, or hovering outside their body. It wasn’t the dream of going to church, work or school...
