I would suspect that the general concept of heaven is pretty universal. While it might be called something different depending on a person’s religion or belief system, the idea of a place where humans will live once this life is over is understood by most, regardless of whether they believe such a place actually exists or not. For the Christian, Heaven represents eternal existence with our Creator, free from the effects or influence of sin. Heaven should be the home they ultimately long for and a motivation to help them live a life honoring to God. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Part of

The Royal Grand Plaza Hotel!

In your wildest dreams, you never imagined you’d be standing in the lobby of the Royal Grand Plaza. Towering marble columns line the walls. Breathtaking sculptures decorate the alcoves. A luxurious red carpet with gold patterns covers the floor. A massive white stone fountain, the lobby’s focal point, sits in the center of the room, it’s jets of water raining down upon the beautiful statue of a mermaid. The entire scene is illuminated by an elegant, multi-tiered glass chandelier hanging above the fountain.

You don’t know how they could afford it, but your best friend

For starters, I would like to thank Steve Brown for writing Talk The Walk. He has saved me a lot of time and effort.

When I was younger I was very prideful. I thought everyone should think as I do and I was quick to point out when someone was wrong. Fortunately, I am an introvert and, despite what I may have thought, I would often keep my mouth shut. Still, on the inside I seethed. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the ways others were wrong and how I could prove it to them if I had the opportunity (and the guts)!

Before I go any further, let me correct two things I just said. The first is that I felt this way when I

Cynthia was worried. It was her daughter Janelle’s sixteenth birthday and the family had gathered to celebrate. Dinner had been ready for nearly an hour but it sat untouched, getting cold. Everyone awaited the arrival of Janelle’s grandmother who was over two hours late! Cynthia tried calling her mother but received no answer. Just about the time the family was about to go out searching for Grams, the headlights of her familiar brown Honda pulled into the driveway.

Once Grandma was in the house and settled, Cynthia asked, “Mom, what took you so long?”

“The interstate was backed up for miles. There

The relationship between Christianity and science has certainly been a roller coaster ride. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Church embraced science, viewing it as a way to increase their knowledge about God’s creation and, through it, learn more about God. (Rom 1:19-20) Many scientific advancements and discoveries of that time were made by scientists with a strong religious faith. [1] Over the past century or so that has certainly changed. Today, science is often held up as the antithesis to faith; the more one learns about how our universe works the less he needs to hold on to a belief
