The Story of Chosun, Part 20

Reading a history of Korean monarchs makes one appreciate the miracle – though carried out by earthen vessels, quite imperfectly – of South Korea. It also reminds one of things that are still going on in North Korea, as though time had stood still. I submit these histories so that people will know, love, and pray for the people of the Korean peninsula.

How Does Deception Begin?

Enigmatic World Changer

The profile of Mohammed and his followers has been substantially raised during the first decade of the 21st century although Islam has been a world force for 1600 years.

Astronomy and God Its Creator

Astronomy and God are two subjects that can never be separated and yet is the very fact that they can not be separated that makes it so difficult for us to talk about the two. For if we leave out feelings and belief out of everything we can prove the one but we can not prove the existence of the other. So then is there an answer?

The Extraordinary Strategist

If you ever find yourself in a difficult, adverse or challenging situation, this verse of the Scripture is your ticket out of trouble into the victorious life. When you fully understand the power and the import of the scripture above, you’ll discover that you can never be disadvantaged. The way this scripture is rendered in the King James Version of the Bible makes it a little obscure. As a result, many people don’t fully understand its significance.

Barna – Church Internet Use Continues to Lag

According to a study published a few months ago by The Barna Group, churches continue to lag behind in their use of Internet technology. Why are churches lagging so far behind? The Facts: Only 56% of churches use “email blasts” or eNewsletters to communicate with people in their congregations. That percentage is unchanged from a similar survey conducted in 2005.
