“AGENT ORANGE”
During the Vietnam war, US aircraft flew over the jungles of that country spraying the dense vegetation with the chemical “agent orange.” The idea was to kill the plants which would take away the native’s advantage in their jungle battle tactics. Sadly, it is told, agent orange was sprayed upon some of our own troops …

Intoxicating Drinks
The assault upon the minds of man to socially accept and imbibe in intoxicating drink is intense. From the persuasive influence of professional athletes to the “cute” frogs, dogs and lizards, society is gradually becoming more tolerant of drinking. Thus, in the midst of this mental transition, it must be asked: “What does the Bible …

NO LAW AGAINST IT
As a new generation arises there will be a few who see themselves as “lights” to the church and it is their duty to reinvent Christianity!

How To Overcome Using Bad Language
1. Realize vulgarity lowers your image in the eyes of others. “Everybody loves a winner,” especially in the struggle of morality. So, when you cuss you’re a looser in a struggle.

No Vacation From God
Those hazy, crazy, lazy days of summer are here, just as they were promised by God to Noah just after the great flood (Gen. 8:22). But though we enjoy the changes of the seasons, Christians are not to change in faithfulness to God (1 Cor. 15:58). Passages of inspiration for us to live by are …

RESTORATION AREA
God provided for us the beautiful land which we call Rocky Mountain National Park. Throughout the trails which curl and climb the terrain of the park, the hiker often comes upon wooden signs which have the engraved words: “RESTORATION AREA: STAY ON TRAIL.” When one considers that RMNP receives three million visitors during the three …

OUR TEACHERS

Are The Days In Genesis One Only 24 Hours?
“And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.” – – Genesis 2:1 Before the erroneous and falsified fantasy of evolution came on the scene, Bible readers had no problem understanding the seven days of creation …

THE SHEEP & The SHEPHERD
In the tenth chapter of John, we are taught the allegory between us and the Lord, with the sheep and the shepherd. It may be humbling to be compared to sheep, but the accuracy is there. In the animal world, no creature is more helpless or needs more leading or guidance for everything they do …

Happy Mother’s Day
Many of us living in these United States are finding it a time of tremendous transition. Many of the values that have been long accepted, are being questioned, and even changed into something that is far from wholesome. It is offensive to many of us, that people in high political positions are agreeing to the …
