Is there any hope, either for the dead or for the sickness that leads to this type of tragedy?

When it comes down to it, the songs "You Found Me" and "Alive Again" are about two entirely different Gods—one who is apathetic and incompetent, or one with a carefully crafted plan for mankind who knows what He's doing. Which do you believe in?

The book of Revelation shows there is to be one more revival of the Roman Empire immediately prior to Christ's return. Is the European Union the prophesied revival?

Every year Americans gather on the fourth Thursday of November to give thanks for a land of plenty and a year of blessings. What if Americans truly gave thanks to God for their blessings? Could it make a difference for the future?

The 50th anniversary of the NATO alliance in 1999 was a celebration of the successful defense of the free world. Just 10 years later there are signs of serious trouble within the alliance.

Newspaper headlines on both sides of the Atlantic heralded the Irish ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. What is the long-term biblical significance?

We have all experienced conversations in which the speaker referred to himself over and over again. “I,” ”me” or “myself” seem to arise in every sentence. Somehow our world has slipped into the error of gratifying self to the point of excess, regardless of what happens in the long run. Greed, avarice and envy abound. We strive to outdo our neighbor and continually amass more. Our companies strive to “maximize profits” with little concern whether we can sustain this lifestyle.

The wisdom of such thinking is ungodly. It comes from another source and is earthly, sensual and demonic (James 3:15-16). Gone are the days when a person shunned indebtedness and greed. Gone are the days when a decent profit was enough. Gone are the days where we were truly concerned about our neighbor. Present are the days of self-indulgence and carelessness. Present are the days of climbing over another in order to get ahead. “Me first” will be the death of the individual who succumbs to its allure. That path leads to destruction and unhappiness.

America has enjoyed unprecedented freedoms and prosperity, although many people fear we are losing both. Few recognize the real source of those blessings.

Prophecies in the Bible indicate that Islamic fundamentalism isn't going away any time soon, and that the prestige and influence of the English-speaking powers will continue to wane. Events to play out in Afghanistan over the coming weeks, months and years may be key to these developments.

Evolution does not merely dismiss a Creator. It rejects any spiritual meaning for our existence.

The theory of evolution is being loudly trumpeted in this 200th anniversary year of Charles Darwin's birth and 150th anniversary of the publication of his On the Origin of Species. But have you read in detail what our Creator has to say about how mankind and the heavens and the earth came into being? Have you considered this crucial testimony?

This year marks the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birthday and, coincidentally, 150 years since the publication of his book On the Origin of Species. One of the most influential books in modern history, it has helped shape philosophy, biology, sociology and religion in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. But both Darwin's theory and his book are doomed by major flaws.

A great deal of attention has been given to how Darwin's theory of evolution contradicts the biblical account of creation. But little attention has been paid to how his theory changed the world's thinking in dangerous ways.

Almost everywhere you turn, your children are being exposed to the "facts" of evolution rather than the flaws in the theory. What can you do to properly educate your kids? They need you to spell out the truth!

Victory requires understanding the enemy. In our spiritual warfare, the enemy is us! Raw human nature is like a field taken over by noxious weeds. We must eradicate the weeds and replace them with God's Spirit so we can produce much good fruit!

Every day we see people trying to discover their personal identity through plastic surgery or facial injections, meaningless sexual liaisons or by buying into the latest fads. How can you be at peace with yourself?

If you discovered that Christmas had nothing to do with Jesus Christ's birth and actually predates that event by centuries, would you still celebrate the holiday? And if you realized that the Bible reveals Holy Days commanded by God, would you celebrate them instead?

Whether to attend church, and which one, are among the most important decisions we can make. What are key factors we should consider?

Did Jesus intend the parable of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31) to give us a real-time view of the state of the dead now, either in heaven or an ever-burning hell? How does this parable fit with the teachings of other scriptures about the state of the dead?

Did God predetermine every detail of every person's life, including whether he or she would be saved?
