A spiritual sign or natural occurrence?
A few readers have asked me lately about my thoughts on the coming eclipse.
I’m sure that almost everyone has heard by now about the total solar eclipse on April 8. It will 
cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. The

Christ is risen, and what it means for everyone
Throughout history, no one has made a greater impact than Jesus Christ.
So who is this person called Jesus? He was not just a man; He was God. It’s widely known that Jesus was born of a virgin 2,000 years ago, but He existed long before that. As the Son of God and second person of the Trinity, Jesus is the Alpha and

The nature and purpose of religion
“Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” — John 3:3
The sun is the source of life on Earth. Without this solar center of light and energy, the Earth 
would be dark and lifeless. If we reflect, we see that the true creator of life on Earth is God and that the sun represents the intermediary between His will

Staying safe
I never thought this kind of thing would happen where I live: A woman was kidnapped in front of a store, in broad daylight, by a man carrying a gun.
It’s hard to even type those words, so shocked am I to learn of it.
To cut to the chase, the woman is thankfully fine, although no doubt rattled and upset. After being forced to drive the kidnapper to another location, she was able

Oppenheimer in the spotlight, but did you know about Upstate’s own great physicist?
Oppenheimer!
Nearly 80 years after he led the scientific team that jolted World War II to a cataclysmic conclusion, his name is in the news again because of a movie about him that cleaned up at the 
Oscars last week.
But J. Robert Oppenheimer wasn’t the only great physicist of that era whose monumental contributions continue to shape our future.

People are only as true as their word
We live in an age that tends to shrug its shoulders when confronted with spreading information that is not true. Instead of asking, like Pilate, “What is truth?” the postmodern man says, “Truth is relevant to each individual” or perhaps “There might be truth somewhere, but we cannot know it.”

Do we really want to know His plan?
Those of us who have been in the Christian faith for a while joyfully embrace Romans chapter 8, as it is filled with encouraging promises.
God has been so good to us, and we know it’s because of His endless love that we can enjoy an abundant life filled with blessings. Of course, we have our share of frustrations and disappointments, but for the most
