How did The Simpsons, one of the most popular television shows in history, go from being attacked by many religious leaders for its lack of family values to being called one of the most theologically relevant programs in prime time? Religion journalist Mark Pinsky explores the individual characters, interviews several of the show's writers and producers, and concludes with a theological discussion.

The First Book of John is the first of the Johannine epistles of the New Testament, and the fourth of the catholic epistles. There is no scholarly consensus as to the authorship of the Johannine works. The author of the First Epistle is termed John the Evangelist, who most scholars believe is not the same as John the Apostle. Most scholars believe the three Johannine epistles have the same author, but there is no consensus if this was also the author of the Gospel of John.

In 1925, James Henry Breasted sent a team of archaeologists to the Holy Land to excavate the ancient site of Megiddo - Armageddon in the New Testament. Their excavations made headlines around the world and shed light on one of the most legendary cities of biblical times. Digging Up Armageddon brings to life one of the most important archaeological expeditions ever undertaken, describing the site and what was found there, and providing an up-close look at the internal workings of a dig in the early years of biblical archaeology.

Christians have proclaimed the good news about Jesus for centuries. But the good news isn't sounding so good these days, at least to some. More and more surveys show that people view Christians as bearers of bad news, judgment, and intolerance. In Vanishing Grace, best-selling author Philip Yancey acknowledges the problem and then explores how we can respond with both grace and truth. He offers a discerning look at what contributes to a hostility toward Christians, and identifies three groups - pilgrims, artists, and activists - who can show us a different way.

As you might already know, I despise this new “form of godliness” that is so prevalent in modern churches. I find it cheap, weak, and ridiculous. One of the main reasons I feel so strongly about this is because I have been able to compare it to the “old paths” of Christian history. These modern charlatans do not deserve to be spoken of in the same conversation as those mentioned in this book series. We chose these sermons based upon the significance of the message, and it’s impact upon church history. All of these men, to varying degrees, have played a role in God’s plan in this...

To the world around us, this kind of unconditional love makes little sense. The world is really good at loving some people, sometimes. Most of us are. But what about loving people who don't talk like us, think like us, vote like us, or see the world like we do? In this five-session audio Bible study, Bob points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible—to love everybody the way Jesus loved them—without fear, insecurity, or reservations.

Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived? There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver's powerful lies: We must allow the "love of the truth" to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.

Mankind lives in an analog universe, the Physical World, where there is time, gravity, speed, distance, and location. Comparisons and communication of physical properties are the only world we know. Everything is on a continuum, from small to large, from minor to serious, from near to far. Time is our ruler. But God lives in a digital world of right and wrong, good and bad, sinful or sinless. There is no in between. The Spiritual Realm has no time, location, weight, or distance. God, and Christ with Him, can be everywhere at once, God was not created and will not die, there are no ...

Unbeknownst to many, the new catechism published in 1992 is far from the only catechism. St. Peter Canisius wrote the first catechism in 1555. Less than a decade later in 1562, the Roman Catechism was commissioned by the Fathers of the Council of Trent, who saw the need for an authoritative explanation of the Faith for the universal Church. Prepared under St. Charles Borromeo’s supervision and issued by Pope St. Pius V in 1566, it remains the most authoritative catechism in print. For modern readers however, the Roman Catechism is rather verbose and hard to read. To remedy this, over one ...

To ascend the social hierarchies and achieve great power, you need to optimize and strategize rather than slogging and "working hard" every day of your life. This is counterproductive since it does not guarantee any beneficial results in the end. "Nobody can succeed by following rules in the first place. Rules were made by those the elites and those who have power to prevent the average masses below them and prevent them from succeed and gain power." Therefore, in order to do so and to make it among the top, you have to be ruthless and employ any tactic you know.

These men were hand selected by Jesus and left everything to serve Him. Dedicate the time to learn about and understand these great men. Allow their stories to change and improve your lives today!
