A Look at Politics Today
It’s a very turbulent world right now with a lot of what is going on. I hope to address a few things that I think our society ought to be focusing on. There is great divisiveness among people in Western culture today as many elections are very close between two opposing parties. I’ve been open to discerning the plights of…

None Are Righteous?
This is a verse I’ve come across many times in my path as a believer. Romans 3:10-12“As it is written:‘None is righteous, no, not one;11 no one understands;no one seeks for God.12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;no one does good,not even one.’” I’ve had some discomfort around this notion for quite some time. I’ve heard people use it…

My Journey Into Catholicism
This article is dedicated to a Catholic brother of mine, at a terminal state with cancer at the time of starting this article, who has recently passed away. God bless his soul. I decided late in life that I would take upon myself, and felt God’s approval, to join the Catholic Church as a part of my path as a…

Our Place In This World
Our place in this world is God’s gift to us. His guidance will lead to fulfilling relationships and a beneficial unity that will strengthen any community. Help the needy, heal the sick, visit the isolated. When those in need are helped, society is healthier. When they aren’t helped, crime rises, violence spreads, hospitals fill, services are burdened and lives are…

The Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-20 “10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual…

Christ-Influenced Artists
Who are “Christ-influenced” artists? These can be musical artists that profess to be followers of Christ and produce quality musical material that is not always strictly gospel or worship, but believers can still appreciate it. Growing up as a teenager influenced by the Christian alternative music scene and subculture, there was a constant debate as to what was really “Christian…

Under the Influence
To understand the dangers of being affected by substances from hallucinogens to simple stimulants like caffeine, I think an appreciation must be developed for the body’s natural development and maturity. Using substances to alter our minds and certain moods, we can have the danger of inhibiting us from maturing into better people. If we simply feel bored, uncomfortable, confused or…

The Problem With Gambling
To understand why gambling is frowned upon by many people, one must first understand and appreciate the concept of making an honest living. Being financially compensated for providing a beneficial service or product to the world is a very fulfilling way to be productive, and to the honest person it makes sense. As a practice of good virtue, each person…

Save Yourself!
Sexual immorality is rampant these days. Pornography, casual sex and all forms of sexual deviancy are a misuse of God’s amazing gift to us. All people have been born through sex between a man and a woman, and ideally those parents raise the person they created to be successful in life, teaching the benefits of morality and the satisfaction of…

Motion – The Fourth Spatial Dimension: Part II
The common representation of a four-dimensional object is the tesseract. Continuing with the symmetrical representation of dimension from the point to the line to the square to the cube, I propose that a tesseract is a symmetrical representation of a cube’s fourth spatial dimension’s path of motion as each part of it is changed in an equal manner by change…

Time – A Measure of Duration
People have recently started to ask, “does time exist?” My response is “yes, of course,” as a method of measuring any moment. Duration is the history of the constantly existing moment known as the present. We cannot escape the present. We can remember the past and conceptualize the future, but we always live in what we call “now.” Time is…

Laws of Motion
Newton’s laws of motion all describe its interaction with force. Here are some principles that strictly deal only with motion (movement/change) in relation to space and time. Motion is change in spatial occupancy. Objects move by change in position, rotation or formation. Motion occurs toward or anywhere in between six directions in relation to an object/observer which are the two…
