In Luke's account of the crucifixion, a profound exchange is recorded between Christ and the two thieves in the midst of their execution. It has been said, "Crisis reveals character," and so it was in this case. We shall see that in a sense, one thief chose to exploit, while the other chose to follow. One chose self-interest, while the other deferred to God's. One spoke out of the anguish of a broken body and soul, while the other spoke out of a broken and contrite spirit. Read more...

It has been documented that Hitler had a fascination with the occult. To win the masses over to blind, fanatical devotion to himself and Nazi ideology, he meshed occultism with Christianity, along with its terminology.

It is human to follow human leaders, and consequently, the masses of humanity are very much sheep-like, following their false shepherds. Read more...

Words spoken shape our thinking. The words Jesus Christ spoke so impacted the world, that hundreds of millions of human beings have believed in Christ. Countless lives have been changed for the better because of the words of Jesus Christ. Odd, that at the same time, many take offense at Jesus Christ, even though everything He taught was only right and good. The real reason religious leaders of the time of Christ took offense with Him is because His words took away their false authority, false power, their prestige, their self importance, their pride, their vanity, their false teachings, their fake status and their looting. Jesus stripped fake religion to the bare bones, proving that what one sees in religious leaders is not necessarily a Godsend. Read more...
