What’s Up With Halloween?
With Halloween firmly entrenched in our culture, I thought that I would take a minute to educate all of us (myself included) on the background of this “holiday” that we celebrate every October 31st. The actual origin of Halloween can be traced back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, a
The Destructive Power of Hatred
If you watch or read the news on a regular basis, you can’t help but notice the hatred that spews from the mouths of individuals – A hatred that is directed toward others who hold different beliefs and convictions than they do. I’m not sure about you, but hatred in
Finding Peace in the Chaos
I’m certain that most Americans are greatly disturbed by the chaos that is erupting in many of the major cities in our country. We need to be reminded that God hates chaos, as it was out of chaos that He brought order during what we call “creation week” as recorded

The Peacemakers!
