My friends, what's wrong with the world today? I'll tell you what's really wrong. It's because our men, our leaders, our great men, the men at the head of government, the men at the head of great businesses, the men that really run the works, are too limited in their knowledge, in their wisd ...

Millions assume that Jesus Christ had no brothers or sisters in the flesh - that Mary, His mother, was a perpetual virgin. But is this idea true?

Somewhere, sometime, someone must have said it, so I won't claim it as my own thought. It's a truth everyone has to struggle with sooner or later: "Until you're able to be happy in every situation, you can't really be happy in any situation." The trick is to get the right inflectio ...

Where will this new temple be built? Will it be built on the same site as the older temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel and Herod? The Bible alone has the answer.
