Did you see the story last week about the teenager in Germany Shouryya Ray who solved a 300-year-old mathematical riddle posed by Sir Isaac Newton? Shouryya Ray worked out how to calculate exactly the path of a projectile under gravity and subject to air resistance. The Indian-born teen said he solved…

If you ask Christians about the key holy days in the year most will say Christmas and Easter. A third very important day is today. According to Luke, the author of Acts, it has now been seven weeks since the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. For forty days the risen…

In the Book of The Acts of the Apostles, we see how the ministry Jesus began was transformed from a small group of Jewish followers largely from the region around Galilee into the beginnings of a global movement. In Acts 1, a group of about 120 disciples are waiting and…

Many people enjoy following the men’s college basketball tournament that continues this weekend. Amazingly approximately $6 billion dollars is wagered on March Madness. If you watch the players closely, many of them talk a lot on the court. There is a lot of trash talking and boasting that goes on.…

Over the last decade as American men and women have been serving and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan some of their funerals here in the United States have been protested by a small group of misguided people who are largely from one family. The fact that the leader of the…
