If you are looking for the type of rock music that is led by musicians who are non-drinking, anti-narcotic consuming, law-abiding citizens you might want to avert your eyes and ears from the simple melodies of a sweet little outfit known as Motley Crue. Most people know the "motley looking crew" for their former bad-ass drummer Tommy Lee (last name Bass, in case you were curious). The heavily tattooed Tommy Lee is very well-known for his highly publicized celebrity marriages to plain Jane ...

The Pentecostal or Charismatic movement has as one of it central
beliefs, that men and women speak in tongues today as they did
in the New Testament. This "speaking in tongues" is a supposed
manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the individual's life. As
some of my charismatic friends tell me, it is evidence (or
proof) that the individual has been baptized with the Holy
Spirit. It is a supposed gift of the Spirit. The conclusion is,
then, that the one who "speaks in tongues" is a true ...

While he may not quite be a headliner just yet, Darius Rucker is sitting pretty, opening for country music superstar Brad Paisley. The former raspy singer that helped Hootie & the Blowfish sell millions of records is responding well to his new country fame via the singles "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" and "It Won't Be Like This for Long." The man, who is more familiar with selling out headlined tours than acting as an opening act is still pleasantly surprised at his place for Brad ...

Death is a subject that most people seem to avoid discussing. It
would seem that people fear death because of the mystery that
surrounds it. On the other hand, whenever someone claims to have
had an out-of- body experience, people will listen intently
about the story. Television shows about people who have
supposedly died and come back to life with these out-of-body
stories are very popular. People are looking for something to
comfort them concerning the here-after. We know that the ...

Not too long ago, in an attempt to witness to several people via
electronic mail through computer networks, I made a statement as
to what constitutes my faith. As part of that statement, I said
that I believe in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit. One of the people to whom I was trying to
witness was of the Jewish faith and he rejected the concept of
the Trinity.
The Holy Trinity is fully supported in Scripture in both the Old
Testament and the New Testament. In ...

One of the most important questions which needs to be answered
today is the title of this article: "What Must I Do To Be
Saved?" The answer to this question is important for those
professing to be Christians and sinners alike. Why? Because the
answer is given in the Bible and it is specific. The main thrust
of our ministry is the admonition of those professing to follow
Christ to be "Doers of the Word," or as the NIV renders it "Do
not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. ...

"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man
came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent
to bear witness of that Light." (John 1:6-8)
"Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests
and Levities from Jerusalem to ask him, 'Who are you.' He
confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, 'I am not the
Christ.' And they asked him, 'What then? Are you Elijah?' He
said, 'I am not.' ...

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) This article is
really about two ideas which Paul so beautifully brings together
in this one verse: the wages of (or payment for) sin is death,
but the forgiveness of that sin results in eternal life in
Christ. Let's take a look at both contrasting ideas and see how
they come together in this beautiful verse.
First of all, the wages of sin is death. In other words, the
punishment for ...

Do you know what the Restoration Movement is? Do you consider
yourself to be a part of this movement? Do you think that the
movement is important to the church? Do you even care?
Please don't think that I am trying to me a smart aleck. I
certainly do not intend to be. However, I hope that you can find
an answer to each of these questions in this article.
It would not be possible for me to even come close to giving a
complete history of the Restoration Movement in this short

Music can be a powerful tool for relaxing one's mind. A stressed out professional can certainly benefit from listening to good music at the end of a hectic workday. Music affects our minds deeply, unlike any other known tools. When you listen to music, your brain gets stimulated, releasing endorphins in blood stream. As the endorphin level increases, you will feel relaxed. Your heart is also affected by music. When you listen to a high energy music track, your heartbeat accelerates or ...

One of my favorite Scriptures is found in the last chapter of
Joshua, "And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose
for yourselves this day whom you will serve. . . But as for me
and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15) I
purposefully left part of this verse out to get to the heart of
the matter. Joshua was giving the Israelites a speech prior to
their entering the Promised Land. He was telling them that they
could choose to serve either the gods of the people who dwell ...

Getting a music video that you have saved on your computer's hard drive on to your new iPod is not as simple as you might think. Apple has done an excellent job of making it difficult to put non-iTunes products onto their devices. The goal, of course, is to force you to buy your videos from iTunes and increase their bottom line, but there are, of course, ways around this problem. You just need some specific software and a little bit of patience.
