2009-12-09T16:37:00.004-05:00

The Cradle and the Cross

2009-12-09T12:28:00.003-05:00

By Dave HuntAnother Christmas season is here. Why December 25, since it's unlikely that Jesus was born at this time of year?

The actual effect was to paganize official Christianity. For example, statues of Isis and Horus were

Don't Let This Happen in America!

2009-12-08T12:36:00.006-05:00

By Jan MarkellYou might think this cannot happen in America. A young Muslim woman converts to Christianity and both Islam and the State of Ohio are working against her.

And what is happening as I write this is chilling because the fate of many more hang in the balance if this woman loses.I have written about Rifqa Bary once before. She is 17

Armageddon's Trigger

2009-12-08T11:46:00.005-05:00

By Terry JamesJerusalem sits atop land that would be among the least desirable in terms of real estate values. The natural inclination would be to look for more scenic, lusher beauty rather than the much-improved but still arid landscape in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. But when considering Jerusalem, one is talking in terms not of the natural, but of the supernatural.Since before the time

The World’s Biggest Problem

2009-12-07T14:02:00.003-05:00

By Jim FletcherI am increasingly astonished by the obvious fulfillment of Bible prophecy in our day. I’m not talking about pinpointing the identity of the antichrist, or the so-called mark of the beast (I just typed “mark of the best” and “mark of the beat,” in succession; I don’t need to be writing about anything right now!).Rather, it is the more … obscure biblical prophecies that convince me

By Jack KelleyBlow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. (Joel 2:1)Joel could be called the unknown prophet because outside of his three chapter book and one reference in Acts 2:16 there’s not much said about him anywhere. Not in the Bible and not in the history books. His father Pethuel (the name means
