If “Drinking Any Amount of Alcohol Causes Damage to the Brain,” Is It Permissible for True Believers to Drink Alcohol?
It doesn’t make sense for anyone to drink something that causes damage to the brain. A new study says that drinking any amount of alcohol, even one drink, causes damage to the brain.

Main Reason God Intervenes on Earth in an Obvious Way: That We Know That He Is The Lord
Reading through the Bible twice this year, I just recently finished Ezekiel and I noticed these words as an emphasis in the book: “Ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.” I wondered how many times then it was in Ezekiel so I looked it up, and then I also wondered how many […]

Christian Parents Ought to Have as Many Children as Possible
“And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them” (Genesis 24:60) In the world today, the blessing above would be viewed as a curse.
