I came across an interesting and important web site a few weeks ago. It’s called "Today’s Martyrs", and it records the true stories of many of those who are persecuted because they confess Jesus of Nazareth as their savior.

It was a brief conversation, but it confirmed for me what I had suspected for some time: there was no place for me in the world of visual arts. I had chosen to study art because I enjoyed doing it and I was good at drawing and painting, but as part of my degree, eighteen course [...]
My dad and I were fishing through the wide and wonderful world of Netflix one day, searching out a new series to delve into, when he had a moment of enlightenment from days of yesteryear. “See if they have a series called Kung Fu starring David Carradine”, he instructed. “It’s a show from the ‘70’s about this Chinese [...]

In broad-ranging spiritual discussion circles, there tends to be a fair amount of conversation about the Divine “Life Force” which most of the world refers to as God. One of the main issues of contention is whether this “Force” has a gender, and if so, whether it is male or female. I am going to do [...]
