Special meeting of the late Pope John Paul II with members of religious orders working in the island of social unrest During my practical training, I was assigned in an island of sugar cane plantations where the land owners traveled Europe every year while the workers lived in something like a large dog house. Back then, some priests applied Liberation theology – an unholy union of Marxist
It isn't difficult to imagine why this 1988 retelling of the Crucifixion story was picketed vociferously upon release--this Jesus bears little resemblance to the classical Christ, who was not, upon careful review of the Gospels, ever reported to have had sex with Barbara Hershey.

If I abide in Jesus, His righteousness is done through me. Nowadays the tendency is to switch away from abiding in Christ; it is- "Do this," and "Do that." You cannot do anything at all that does not become, in the rugged language of Isaiah, "like filthy rags" (64:6), no matter how right it looks, if it is divorced from abiding in Christ. Haul yourself up a hundred times a day till you learn to a

Most Christians believe that Christmas is the holiday that is most associated with the birth of Jesus. But did you know that the word "Christmas" is not in the Bible? Did you know that there is nothing about December 25th in the Scriptures? Did you also know that Christians did not begin celebrating "Christmas" until the 4th century?The truth is that God did institute a holiday which foreshadowed

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

There could be one precious miracle that anyone would ever experience and this is the life-changing miracle by Christ.

I don't know about you, but the last couple weeks my email inbox has been filled with political emails of folks overly concerned about our pending elections.

"The [Mormon] Church has a single, undeviating standard of sexual morality: intimate relations are proper only between a husband and a wife united in the bonds of matrimony.

Protecting marriage between a man and a woman does not affect Church members' Christian ob

Did you know that there are dozens of prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament?Most Americans do not understand that Jesus fulfilled some incredibly amazing prophecies when He came to this earth.
