Why the U.S. Attack
Inside Syria Is Significant
With the world's financial markets in meltdown, you might wonder, why should
we care about what happens in Syria? It's a poor country with a small military
and is not a crucial factor in the world market or a significant oil producer.

President
Elect Obama's Honeymoon in a Hurricane
President-elect Barack Obama and his supporters are ecstatic. His
millions of campaign signs have promised "Change is Coming!" But in our fast paced world
of inevitable challenges that honeymoon mood—the affection a new president
receives from the public in the afterglow of victory—could quickly disappear
in 2009.

Does God Ever Determine
Election Outcomes?
According to the Bible, God has directed world events countless times in the
past and says He will do so again in the future. That sometimes will include
determining who will become a nation's head of state. But why? The answer may
surprise you.

Shocked by the Bible?
When a journalist takes on the Bible, you might expect a post-modern putdown
of the ancient holy book. But award-winning journalist Joe Kovacs has a different
take on the Holy Scriptures. He actually takes the Bible at its word and shows
how many shocking misconceptions people have about it today.

Temple at the Center
of Time: Fact or Fiction?
Prophetic hobbyists, survivalists and such seem preoccupied with the end of
the world. Temple at the Center of Time is only the latest in the genre
of secret-code catastrophe books. There's a better book that has the real prophetic
scoop. It's called the Bible. Let's take a look at the key issues.

Prices Go Up, Up, Up! What Should
We Do?
In these trying times, should our daily needs seem unattainable, it
is important to remember the encouraging words of Matthew 6:25-34. Here
Jesus promises that if we "... seek first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness ... all these things [the necessities for
survival] shall be added to you" (verse
33).

The Mars Landing: Why Did We Do
It?
There's no need to travel millions of miles through space to discover more about
the human mind and why we do the things we do, For most of us, the information
we need to begin understanding ourselves is located within a few feet of us
or obtainable via just a few key strokes on a computer. So where is this information?
In the Holy Bible.
