  • Jesus' Resurrection - Were The Apostles Deceived? - The lives of the twelve Apostles as well as those of Paul and James provide clear evidence they were convinced Jesus really returned from the dead, but perhaps they were deceived. They believed it to be true, but had they been fooled?
  • Jesus' Resurrection - The Evidence Of The Missing Body - All four gospel writers unanimously agree that Joseph of Arimathea claimed the body of Jesus after His death. Here is the account of Luke 23:50-56 (see also Matthew 27:57-61, Mark 15:42-47 and John 19:38-42): “Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body.
  • Divine Accomplishment Versus Human Achievement - What does a Christian need to do in order to pay for his or her sins and earn salvation? Does one do some works, make a sacrifice, talk to a priest or say a certain prayer? The answer is that we do not need to do anything. Salvation is a gift from God.
  • Only Jesus Claims To Be God - Jesus was not confused about His own identity; He unabashedly claimed to be God. But He also supported it by facts.

  • Are We Too Quick To Judge Rape Suspects? - Innocent until proven guilty, that statement has become synonymous within the court of law but it is sometimes nonexistent in the court of public opinion. Countless men face rape charges every year and consequently endure crucifixion in the media and in the public despite the lack of evidence and sufficient facts. Kobe Bryant faced rape charges in 2003. In addition, in 2006, three Duke University lacrosse players, David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, endured the same fate after an African American exotic dancer accused them of raping her at an off-campus party. Before the facts came to light, many had already taken sides, usually along racial lines. Bryant lost many endorsements and endured vicious taunts by unruly fans.

  • Fashions From The Bible Times - Great Costume Ideas - What does it mean when someone says "Bible times"? If you think about it, the Bible in its entirety spans thousands of years. Costumes change almost as quickly as the times that changed and evolved. The various costumes for Bible times are different depending on the story. The manner of dress during Moses' time is different than the manner of dress during Christ's birth. There are different reasons why you'd need costumes for Bible times. For one, it is a good learning tool to visually act out Bible stories for children who are in Sunday school. It is also great for adults.
  • Upper Back Tattoos - An Ideal Introduction To Body Art - The human back makes an ideal canvas for a tattoo artist’s needles. If you are considering your first tattoo could do worse than to have it be an upper back tattoo. Why? Upper back tattoos can range from small and simple to large and elaborate, and can stand alone or be the foundations for larger and more elaborate tattoo work if you like the outcome and want to add to it. Upper back tattoos are, more often than not, covered in indoor settings so they won’t be an issue in professional environments.

  • Overview Of Lent - Lent is the period of 40 days of fasting that is preceding Easter. Often this 40 day period is paralleled with the story of Jesus being in the desert for 40 days being tempted by the devil. (Matthew 4:1-11). And this is the reading for the first Sunday of Lent to remind us of that parallel.
  • The Power of 'Amazing Grace' - Words have power. They have the power to change, the power to encourage and the power to love. The well known song, "Amazing Grace," is testament to this. "Amazing Grace" has been heard at funerals, weddings and other celebrations throughout the world for centuries. Ever since John Newton penned the infamous lyrics in 1775, people of all ages, backgrounds and faith have clung to the powerful words in the saddest and happiest times in their lives. The opening of this precious song has some of the most recognizable lyrics of any song: "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That sav'd a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see." These words represent love in its most powerful form.
  • Easter Sunday - Easter Sunday is the most important day in all of Christianity. It is the cornerstone of all Christ-based churches because it is the celebration of the day that Jesus concord death and rose from the death. It is also a season within the Catholic Church that goes from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. This is the day that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit. Jesus is often said to have passed over death.

  • The Art Of Spanish Travel - If you have a desire to see some of the best art in Spain, look no further than the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia on Calle Santa Isabel 52.
  • The History Of Gift Giving At Christmas - Giving gifts has been a tradition among human beings since ancient times. Many historians believe that this practice led to the development of the barter system, which was the economic basis for many societies. Land that was passed from one generation to another was considered a gift, as well as offerings made to various gods. The Romans and Greeks considered any beneficial occurrences were “gifts for the gods” while the leaders of different countries that were part of the Roman Empire sent “gifts” or “tributes” regularly to the emperor in Rome. Many ancient peoples often exchanged gifts during different festival days throughout the year.
  • Madrid: Francis Bacon, from 3 February to 19 April 2009 - In Madrid, in particular, the relationship with the artist is particularly heartfelt because his works reveal his interest in great Spanish artists, like Goya and Velázquez (just think about the paintings inspired by Velázquez’s portrait of Pope Innocent X, which will be some of the main features of the exhibition), but also because in the last years of his life Bacon used to visit the Prado Museum very often, sometimes asking for it to be specially opened for him in the closing days, so that he could study the works. All those who have a passion for art, and in particular for Bacon, should visit the exhibition, which hosts over 60 high-quality works coming from many European and American museums and from private collections.
  • The Great Men Of History - Ask anybody: “Who are the great men in human history?” Likely you will hear names such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. What do these men have in common? What made them great? They were successful because they were powerful, and with this power they changed the course of history by their heroic actions, or by ruling countries or even whole continents. How different these “great men” are when compared to the person of Jesus of Nazareth! Jesus had little of what made these great men of history great: certainly no political clout, no military machine, no war chest.
  • The Holy Grail And A Silver Christening Cup - Since the Victorian era, one of the most popular Christening gifts for a baby boy has been a silver cup or silver tankard - a beautiful present that is often passed down from generation to generation. But why should such a seemingly utilitarian object become associated with such an important rite of passage? Although the Christening cup became increasingly popular in Victorian times, the myths and tradition surrounding cups themselves have roots going back many thousands of years. Drinking vessels have had a deep and enduring significance in people's lives since early prehistory.
  • The Holy Grail of Day Trading - Sometimes, searching for the perfect strategy can lead to more losses than gains. This is what happens to traders who search for what I call the “Holy Grail of Day Trading.” This is loosely interpreted as a trading system or strategy that cannot fail.
  • God Art: Christian Themes in Contemporary Art - Undoubtedly, the first Christian art - or "God art" - appeared during or shortly after Jesus' life here on earth. Indeed, paintings from around 70 A.D. still exist.
  • Would You Die For A Lie? - At the beginning of His ministry, Jesus chose twelve disciples, who later served as His apostles. As history and tradition teaches us, likely all but one, John, died a violent death as martyrs for their faith. Theirs is the ultimate testimony. That is actually the origin of our word martyr; the Greek verb “martureo” means “to be a witness,” “to testify.” Skeptics, however, will claim that people die daily for what they believe, either as innocent victims, as a result of persecutions or deliberately, like a fanatic Muslim homicide bomber. So dying for one’s faith does not prove anything about the truth of the resurrection. Wait. Is that correct? What is the difference between an apostle of Christ who was martyred and a fanatic Muslim bomber of today? Yes, both died for their faith.
  • History Of The Holy Cross - The cross is a sacred emblem of the Christian faith. It has a deep and sacred meaning for the Christian world. It is a symbol of redemption, signifying Christ’s death on the cross for man’s sins. The cross was rarely seen during the first three centuries of Christianity. Descriptions of the cross are found in Christian writings from the early 2nd century on.

  • 10 Essential Things To Do When You Visit Armenia - Armenia is a land of both the old and the new. As the first Christian country of Europe and after more than 600 years of bondage to foreign powers, it is indeed one of the most exiting places to be aside from being one of the most historically rich countries in Europe.
  • Passover and Easter's Common Theme: Courage Comes From Faith - Spring brings with it not only flowers, sunshine and warmer weather but two important religious holidays: Easter and Passover. While Passover commemorates the Israelites freedom from slavery in Egypt, Easter commemorates Jesus' resurrection and ascension. These seem like positive holidays, but the climax of the Biblical stories are preceded by some fairly heavy topics that include such dark topics as betrayal, crucifixion, slavery and plagues.
  • Italian Frame During the Renaissance - The development of the frame is inextricably linked to that of architecture. Frames, whether they are used for paintings, bas-reliefs or mirrors, were designed as integral parts of an architectural space where they often had a harmonizing function against doors and windows. Not only did the frame design evolve with the evolution of architectural taste, but the frames often changed at the same pace of interior decoration, which in turn changed to respond to the taste of time.
  • The Tribulation: What The Bible Says - The bible states that in the time just prior to the Glorious Appearing of Jesus Christ, the world will experience a time of unprecedented trial and tribulation. This seven year period is referred to by most Christians as “the tribulation.” But the bible refers to it by many names, including “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” “the seventieth week of Daniel,” and “the day of the Lord’s vengeance.
