New Testament Is Not a Historical Record

Not a Record of Events – Many believe that the New Testament is an accurate record of events that occurred in relation to Jesus Christ but this is not the case.

Being Socially Responsible

Sometimes we fail to realize that we have so much- so much more than people around us, because so often, our energies are fuelled by what we don’t have. We need to focus on the things that we have rather than the things that we don’t have. One of my favorite songs goes like this: “Count your blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.” Look around you my friends, at what you have rather than what you don’t have, and it will surprise you.

Humans Are Fascinated With The Dead

People Then and People Now

People’s mentality has changed a lot during the last couple of centuries. Although, technically speaking, in many countries there hasn’t been a change in the regime (with the exception of the former communist zones in Europe), this diverse way of thinking has led to a change in communication, work and relationships.
