It has often been said that the two things in life you can't avoid are death and taxes. While the IRS puts out numerous publications and there are CPAs and lawyers around every corner ready to dish out advice for the taxpayer, the best lawyer in the world can't get you out of dying. Death is the one trip we all take, with no tour guide or travel agent to hold our hand.

Diana Ingram has written a much needed and uncommonly positive book to help us deal with death, both our own and those closest to us. Her work as a grief counselor and hospice volunteer has given Ingram a unique view of our...

Jesus Christ was born into Judaism to Jewish parents. He came to bring about Christianity. His message is clear: How to maintain our link to God and still live well in society. He came to show us how to keep this perfection, this beauty, in us alive. He explained in several parables what we needed to decorate our hearts with in order to harbor this perfection-the spirit of God in us. He did this two thousand years ago, yet today some Christians still have not incorporated His teachings into our everyday lives. This is especially true in the workplace.

"Celebration of Beauty" is about...

America is a force for good. American ideals are triumphing throughout the world, and yet opposition to those ideas is still there. From the various cells of radical Islamic fundamentals to various intellectual elites in Europe and even in the United States, America is still attacked with both words and bullet. Just ask yourself this, would the world be better if the United States was not active in world affairs? That is the heart of the debate. My view is simple. America is good for the world.

Throughout the centuries, freedom has been the one entity continuously deprived. Jesus told us...

Most people would say, if asked about recreational activities, that there is no difference between one creative movement and another.

The church says that these activities are underlied by eastern religions, even by the occult, and that Christians ought not practice them. It becomes complicated for the ordinary man or woman to weigh it up in their mind, as to the pros and cons, as to what the Bible actually says even with...

..".In this taking of earthly life, I found God's presence. Certainly not His purpose, but the silent thread He weaves so gently through pain, loss and heartache.

I found it in John, finding the strength to stay faithful to his post. Keeping a long, steady, quiet watch over his wife, his children and himself.

I found it in the testimony of Sharon's words and actions throughout this journey. Through the entire 13 months, no matter how hazy, painful or senseless each day became, she stayed true to her faith in Jesus. Though her life became a whisper as the cancer bulged, the proof of her...

Our society today has grown so accustom to violence and evil that Christians have difficulty identifying the presence of Satan. We have drifted away from the one thing that God uses to measure a Christian, and that is love. God's Word tells us that we show our love for him through our love of fellow man.

God's love has no bounds. It is not limited by nationality, language, color, financial status, title or position. Revelations two tells us the importance of love in a Christian life and without it our candle will be removed. There is no doubt that we have entered into the end times and...
