Have you ever wondered if it's OK to just skip voting in an election entirely?

Here's an old proverb that is still true today: "Bad politicians are elected by good people who don't vote." Christians need to vote!

It's so rare for a candidate to completely match what we desire on every position that it's easy to become cynical, and not want to vote at all. This is especially true when the choices are particularly bad. It's un-Biblical however, to neglect the privilege to influence our society and choose our leaders, even if the choices are far from perfect. Jesus said: "You are the Salt of the earth...the Light of the world" (Matt. 5:13-16). Does it follow from that viewpoint that He would want His people to disregard the opportunity to choose their leaders? Not a chance! God expects us to get involved and try to make a difference everywhere we can, even if all we have to offer is a single vote.

Have you even wondered if homosexuality was genetic, that is, if God might have actually made some people to be homosexuals, and others to be heterosexuals? This is a good question to ponder right now, with the debate over same-sex marriage in California going on. If God did make people genetically homosexual, it would indeed be wrong to discriminate against them, but that is an impossible conclusion to derive when we honestly consider all the evidence.

Ben Stein’s new movie raises, and tries to answer the question, “why do so many scientists (and others) believe in Darwinian Evolution, and why does questioning that belief make people emotionally volatile?” Evidence for a Darwinian explanation of life has crumbled in recent years, during roughly the same time frame that belief in it has become so entrenched that the bare act of questioning it makes people turn red and jump up and down. Why, then, do scientists continue to believe in it despite the evidence?

The word “Trinity” is not in the Bible, but the concept is clearly there. In the Old Testament, the concept of the Trinity is not stated quite as precisely as it is in the New Testament, but the concept of three persons with one divine essence is clearly there to see for all who examine it carefully. This concept is especially obvious in the original Hebrew. There are numerous indications of plurality of the Godhead, yet never is there more than three persons referenced in that context.

The Shroud of Turin is a cloth approximately 14 feet long by 3 ½ feet wide, and bears an image of a man who seemed to have suffered the exact violence that was done to Jesus Christ at His crucifixion. The most intense scientific investigation of the Shroud was undertaken by the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) in 1978. These investigators found that the Shroud is unlike any other artifact the world has ever seen.
