Did you ever wonder why Saul, who was brought up as the self-proclaimed Hebrew of Hebrews, grew to be so bitter and prideful?

Our longer life expectancy and increasing intellectual capital have transformed our notion of «the golden years.» Often we’re just not ready for a life without work.

No matter your definition of financial...

Love must be an action, a choice. Choosing love over fear is the most powerful choice we can make.Kenny Vaughan brings this timeless discussion back to the forefront of our spiritual exploration by teaching us to view life...

"As the 'Book of Enoch' is, in some respects, the most notable extant apocalyptic work outside the canonical Scriptures, it will not be inappropriate to offer a few remarks here on the Apocalyptic Literature generally… Hope is, indeed, the main underlying motive-power which prompted the writers of the Apocalypses. And this hope is the more intensive and ardent in that it shines forth from a background which is dark with despair; for the Apocalyptists despaired of the world in...
