Words of Comfort: Einstein's example. — www.onthebox.us: ""As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene... No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life." - Albert Einstein"

Putin: Obama’s Anti-Christian Views are Ruining America | American Overlook

Putin: Obama’s Anti-Christian Views are Ruining America | American Overlook: "Maybe when the Russians say it, people will start to listen.
 
Russian President Vladimir Putin claims America is being ruined by under President Obama because he doesn’t support traditional Christian values.
 
During Putin’s State of the Nation speech last month he said, “Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values… Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan.”"

What should we learn from the life of Ezekiel?

What should we learn from the life of Ezekiel?: "Answer: For the first-time reader of the Bible, the book of Ezekiel is mostly a perplexing maze of incoherent visions, a kaleidoscope of whirling wheels (chapter 1) and dry bones (chapter 37) that defy interpretation. This impression often causes readers to shy away from studying the book and miss one of the great literary and spiritual portions of the Old Testament. The book is named after the author, Ezekiel, whose name means “strengthened by God.” As you read and study this amazing book, draw strength as Ezekiel did from the One who is Himself strength."

Book of Ezekiel - Bible Survey

Book of Ezekiel - Bible Survey: "The Prophet Ezekiel is the author of the Book (Ezekiel 1:3). He was a contemporary of both Jeremiah and Daniel.

Date of Writing: The Book of Ezekiel was likely written between 593 and 565 B.C. during the Babylonian captivity of the Jews.

Purpose of Writing: Ezekiel ministered to his generation who were both exceedingly sinful and thoroughly hopeless. By means of his prophetic ministry he attempted to bring them to immediate repentance and to confidence in the distant future. He taught that: (1) God works through human messengers; (2) Even in defeat and despair God's people need to affirm God's sovereignty; (3) God's Word never fails; (4) God is present and can be worshiped anywhere; (5) People must obey God if they expect to receive blessings; and (6) God's Kingdom will come."

Does Genesis chapter 1 mean literal 24-hour days?

Does Genesis chapter 1 mean literal 24-hour days?: "Answer: A careful examination of the Hebrew word for “day” and the context in which it appears in Genesis will lead to the conclusion that “day” means a literal, 24-hour period of time. The Hebrew word yom translated into the English “day” can mean more than one thing. It can refer to the 24-hour period of time that it takes for the earth to rotate on its axis (e.g., “there are 24 hours in a day”). It can refer to the period of daylight between dawn and dusk (e.g., “it gets pretty hot during the day but it cools down a bit at night”). And it can refer to an unspecified period of time (e.g., “back in my grandfather's day...”)."

Must Watch: Hobby Lobby Releases Video Attacking Obamacare

Must Watch: Hobby Lobby Releases Video Attacking Obamacare: "This administration has declared war on religious liberty.  The message to committed Christians has been clear: Keep your religion inside your church walls, and don’t you dare try to practice your faith in public lest you suffer the wrath of Leviathan.

For many Christian churches, businesses (both large and small), adoption agencies, and charities, the bond between faith and practice in the public square is inseparable.  This means that these organizations adopt policies consistent with the dictates of Christian ethics.  Unfortunately, these policies are being undermined by an executive who never ceases to overstep its bounds."

What does the Bible say about selflessness?

What does the Bible say about selflessness?: "Answer: The characteristic of being selfless is one of the most important traits any Christian can have. It’s so significant that Jesus said it is the second most important of all God’s commandments: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31; cf. Galatians 5:14). Jesus wasn’t creating a new law here; He was merely agreeing with and expounding on an Old Testament law (Leviticus 19:18). James calls this the “royal” law to emphasize its supreme value to God (James 2:8)."

In reality, each of us isn’t searching for happiness; rather, we are fighting off unhappiness. We are constantly barraged with problems, sickness and pain. Dentists, doctors, lawyers, and undertaker’s have secure jobs in this life.  "

Minding The Truth | Peyton Manning’s Christian Faith: "Yesterday Peyton Manning, the quarterback of the playoff-bound Denver Broncos, completed the greatest statistical regular season at the quarterback position in the 94-year history of the National Football League (NFL). This regular season saw Manning set records in yards passed in a season (5,477) and touchdowns thrown in a season (55), and he led his team to accumulate more points (606) in a regular season than had ever been done before. Manning also tied the record for touchdowns thrown in a game (7) in the Broncos Week 1 win over the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Baltimore Ravens."
