A.W. Tozer presents his main thesis as he expounds on the glory and attributes of God and asserts that the world’s spiritual starvation births from our absence of contemplation of God. Tozer states, It is my opinion that the Christian concept of God current in these middle years of the twentieth century is so decadent as to be utterly beneath the dignity of the Most High God and actually to constitute for professed believers something amounting to a moral calamity. Tozer claims that…

September 11, 2001, a day of grief and courage. Many men and women risked their lives that day: firefighters, police, and civilians. The United States was attacked by cruel people for unjust reasons. We were attacked by a terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda. While the day was coming to an end, many were feeling overwhelmed and terrified. People feared that their loved ones were dead under the fallen towers unidentified. 9/11 changed the outlook of civilians in both the United States and around the…

He is our King above all kings. He is ready to pardon, gracious, merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness and He will never abandon us! (Nehemiah 9:17) Nothing is hidden from God. He sees everything. He knows us better than we know ourselves. (Psalm 139) God loves him more than you do. God loves him more than any other person on this planet could ever love him.

the temple was because Passover was soon approaching and everyone would need an animal to offer sacrifice. The reason Jesus gets mad is because He zealous for the house of the Lord and John writes how it is that the disciples remembered the verse in Psalm 69:9 where David writes that “Zeal for your house consumes [him].” Passover is a yearly event that is established in the Old Testament.

C. S. Lewis, a well-known author and apologist, is best known by people of all ages for his seven volume series entitled it “Prince Caspian”. As Lewis wrote about the land of Narnia, an imaginary world visited by children of this world, he had two obvious purposes: to entertain the readers and to suggest analogies of the Christian faith. Although some feel that his stories are violent, Lewis is successful at using fiction to open people's' hearts to accepting Christ as their Savior because he…

Within all these passages, certain themes are discovered again and again. The composite picture paints a fairly simple-minded yet predetermined individual, driven by an insatiable desire for self-elevation and praise. Like Lucifer before him, this obsession will cause The Antichrist to proclaim himself as God’s co-equal, if not higher. Lucifer’s proclamation is…

“Inferno”: A Polysemous Literary Work In the Divine Comedy written by Dante Alighieri, the title of this epic poem may imply that this timeless piece of literary work contains the writings of wit and humor.

The Divine Comedy is composed of three segments: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. While the poem…
