by Henry Neufeld, Energion Publisher We rolled out a new theme over the weekend. More about that in a few paragraphs … A couple of months ago I sent out an e-mail to a few of the people whose advice I count on regarding the slogan we use on the Energion Publications web site: Educate!…
I read an interesting editorial this morning at Fox News: What If Tim Tebow Were A Muslim? The author suggests that the frequent mockery he receives would be largely absent if he were a devout Muslim instead of a devout Christian: Imagine for a second, the Denver Broncos quarterback is a devout follower of Islam,…
Earlier this morning, I published a “guest post” on my blog that I thought would be interesting to the people involved in this site. The post was written by Mark from “Sheepfold Ministries” and is called “The Sovereignty of God Over Us and His Church.” Here’s a snippet from the post: Christ demonstrates both His…

We could change our lives drastically if we lived each day on what…
On occassion I watch the Red Green Show. I really get a kick out of the montone prayer that they pray. One part is sonething along the lines of, “I’m a man and I can change if I have to.” When it comes to God’s will beiong done humanity often seems to have that monotone sighing…
To continue with the life plan as provided in the Lord’s Prayer, we next look at the line, “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” For much of humanity, the concept of doing someone else’s will is repugnant. A deeper understanding and ability to not feel threatened at…
The topic of military service and self-defense is a touchy one among Christians in America.
