Most Christians do not understand the content and application of God's prophetic Word. Too many are skeptical that truth can be found with certainty. Yet the Scriptures, properly handled, give us what the soul needs most... assurance, hope, and courage to overcome fear and anxiety. We will examine that more sure Word of prophecy and leave doomsday to others.

Housed in a prototypically warm-toned, wood-heavy coffeehouse (only without the fleabag couches and drum-circle vibe), Bridgeport Coffee sets itself apart by roasting its own beans and brewing them with levels of respect usually reserved for presidents. The pour-ov …

However, much of this research on cognitive bias has yet to trickle down into popular culture. The goal of Rational Future meetups is to promote the public understanding of rationality and human …

Welcome Earthlings! I've had an interest in the presence of UFOs for many years and have kept it hidden away from others, because I didn't want to be scoffed at by the skeptics or called "crazy". I believe that the appearance of objects in the skies, crop circles, contact with aliens and other experiences are real for many. In fact, quite a number of people I've met over the past 15 years have come forth and shared their experiences with me. Underneath these sightings and other phenomena , ther …
