Torah or Technology

The true issue isn’t texting or whether they are observing half or whole Shabbat as much has the underlying realization that these young people are products of the 21st century, a generation of children raised totally on and by technology, who not only value it but embrace it.

Keeping a Marriage Together When Your Spouse Decides Against Religion

Whatever the reason, this decision can cause issues in even the strongest marriage.

Tiptoeing Away From TULIP

John Calvin set the standard for reformed theology during the Christian Reformation. For a brief time, all reformed religious authorities agreed that Calvinism was indeed THE Bible-supported way to salvation.

God uses singers and musicians to communicate to us.

Separation of Science and Religion

With the emergence of imperial political organisation, there took place large-scale growth in trade, commerce, technology and industrial production. This is revealed through the history of ancient civilisations like those of India, China, Egypt, Greece and Rome.

In Pursuit of Fulfillment

Reaching a modicum of happiness or fulfillment isn’t predicated on god, religious rites and ritual. It’s about the individual being able to find his voice and give expression to his creative skills endowed by nature. It’s about the individual pursuing his own dreams.
