Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought ...

New Testament Times:About one-hundred years before Christ, the Jewish leadership began promoting schools as a counterweight to Grecian influence. The schools were for boys age five to thirteen, teaching rudimentary skills."In this period a synagogue presupposed a school, as with us a church implies ...

Jupiter Hammon (1711-1806?) was the first black poet published in America. Considered the father of African-American poetry, on Christmas of 1760 he published, “An Evening Thought. Salvation by Christ with Penitential Cries.� He was also a “committed Calvinist versifier,� rejoicing in the re...

“Inflation and debt also affect the nature of power in a society. First, in an inflationary economy, it is not the thrifty, hard-working man who flourishes, but the debtor (at least, for the time).

"I could easily enter upon another line of examination. I could point out the general trend of public opinion, the disclosures of purposes and beliefs to be found in letters, papers, books and unofficial declarations. I could show how largely our laws and customs are based upon the laws of Moses and...

After Barbara Walters left 20/20, the show's objectivity skyrocketed. Last night's show, Stossel's Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics, is proof of that. In a succinct, witty yet hard-hitting manner, Stossel exposed the political nakedness of today's emperors. There is a type of messiah-complex ...

Christ alone. Solus Christus. That was the watchword of our Protestant forefathers almost five-hundred years ago. Twice as long as the existence of the America government. It meant that only Christ was the Savior of the world. That Christ alone could and does save sinners. This was just a short-hand...

A new Pew research (MSNBC summary) polling 35,000 adults has uncovered what many cynics (like me) have suspected all along: Evangelicals are Biblically illiterate. 57% of Evangelicals believe one can be saved outside of Christianity ("their faith isn't the only way to eternal life"). 57% of self-pro...
