Mr. Al Gore was the guest on Larry King Live tonight. The main topic was Global Warming. At one point Larry says, "...did you hear what scientist physicist Stephen Hawking said today... he said that we will have to go into space for the survival of the human species." Al then said that was the main...

In 1499, in the bonfires of the Inquisition, Archbishop Cisneros of Granada put the torch to books that preserved eight centuries of Islamic culture and thirteen centuries of Jewish culture in Spain. In 1562, in the Yucatan, Fray Diego de Landa condemned eight centuries of Mayan literature to the...

Hello fellow pilgrims. How are we doing today? Opening up and allowing...
the Lord to enter our bodies completely? Taking a break? Preparing. Giving yourself to the will of the Lord more and more each day? Breathe deep, follow this breath without changing the flow, cleanse the toxins with each breath, see your internal light as you relax into your familiar, warm, safe...

American Christians are finally waking up and smelling the foul odors
lingering in Congress and the White House. What should be done nationally? The National Security crisis master plan is falling apart; We should return to the liberal anti-totalitarianism stance of the '60s.

Fourth Installment: What is Islam?... What every Christian needs to know.

Third Installment: What is Islam?... What every Christian needs to know.

Second Installment: What is Islam?... What every Christian needs to know.
Much of the Islamic history appears to the Westerner's eye to be a "grey" area. The main obstacle to a better understanding probably lies, again, in what we are taught, or rather not taught. The curriculum in most schools in Europe and North America concentrates on the history of the last 2,000...

What is Islam?
In our twenty-first-century world, three global religions compete with one another in their recognition of one all-powerful and all-seeing God who surpasses any others in his excellence. The proper term for this belief in a preeminent, transcendent deity is monotheism and of the three monotheistic...
