Bible study: God or god?

by Alfonso Abels Wondering who the real god is? "How do we get to know the true God?" Do not worry. You are not only one seeking the answer to these questions. Many people struggle daily with these issues. However, we must never conclude that all religions worship the same god. Studies of the various religions prove that they are by no means doing so. There is merit in thinking that the True God certainly wants to reveal Himself to the world. The cultures of today worship a god on basis of

From BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins' point of view, Apple's iPhone is growing rather long in the tooth.
"The user interface on the iPhone, with all due respect for what this invention was all about, is now five years old," Heins told The Australian Financial Review.
Not that Heins has no respect for the iPhone - it's more that his respect is somewhat like that which you have for your granddad, that upstanding member of The Greatest Generation.
"Apple did a fantastic job in bringing touch devices

4798Some observers, and even some of her most loyal fans, believe that Beyonce may be losing her grip on reality. We would lovingly encourage her to go ack to her own church in Houston, chill for a little while, and get some perspective on life. 

Beyoncé has posted a track called Bow Down from her long-awaited fifth album online, but the response hasn't been universally enthusiastic.

In a departure from her wholesome image, Beyoncé takes a foul-mouthed swipe at her young rivals with the words: "I

Technically, Tim Tebow still has a job with the New York Jets, but we all know what's going to happen at some point this offseason. He's going to be released.
And the only reason he's going to be released is because the Jets can't find a trade partner to take him off their hands.
And the only reason the Jets can't find a trade partner to take Tebow off their hands is because he is not a very good quarterback (and that's being nice).
So, is it time for Tebow to give up on the NFL since not one

February’s highly publicized Sony event that served as the official announcement of the PlayStation 4 is in the rearview mirror now, and the ball is in Microsoft’s court as fans clamor for more information about the as-yet-unnamed successor to the Xbox 360.

There’s been no shortage of rumors leading up to – and in the wake of – Sony’s announcement that cast a comparative eye on Microsoft’s plans for the Xbox 720… or is it the Durango? Or maybe just Xbox? Along with the console’s name, ma

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone didn't have enough up his sleeve to pull off much at the box office this weekend, particularly with another magician in the mix.

 

Despite an advertising blitz and two high-profile comedians in Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, Wonderstone managed to muster $10.3 million and a flat third place, falling to another expert in smoke and mirrors, Oz the Great and Powerful. And a low-budget thriller.
The prequel to The Wizard of Oz captured the top spot at theaters for th

Ralph Waldo Emerson talked about this concept - the "divine discontent."  It is my belief that authentic career success is tied to our spiritual well being - the identification of those inner gifts and talents that need to be used for us to feel fulfilled.  Now I don't want this to be so "spiritual" that we can't find real application, but work has to provide more than just an income.



I see more and more people who are feeling misplaced, off-track or just the sense that they are not making a

4798Dear Roger,
What does the Bible say about cursing? And by cursing I mean, when someone says something bad is going to happen to you. That kind of cursing, cursing your future. 
Sincerely, Liiz
Dear Liiz,
When we think of curses, many of us immediately think of Voodoo. We picture someone pushing pins in little dolls which represent those they hate so that bad things can come upon them. We think of persons casting spells.
However, Voodoo is much more than that. Voodoo a religion practiced ch

Green tea and coffee may help lower your risk of having a stroke, especially when both are a regular part of your diet, according to new research.
The study looked at the green tea and coffee drinking habits of more than 82,000 Japanese adults, ages 45 to 74, for an average of 13 years. Researchers found that the more green tea or coffee people drink, the lower their risk of having a stroke.
The results have been published in Stroke: The Journal of the American Heart Association.

Each year, Ed and Tina Green watch their daughter's wedding video at their Gambrills, Md., home in silence. She died on July 5, 1993, of cancer, just one year after walking down the aisle.



"If I was ever going to be depressed, that would have been the time," recalled Ed. "But Tina and the kids kept me from it."
Their daughter's loss was a test the Greens would not have passed had they not resolved early on to make their marriage work.
When they said, "I do," 52 years ago, they enlisted in a

According to LaLa Anthony, her marriage to Carmelo Anthony is "wonderful," but that doesn't mean they've never hit a rough patch during their 10-year relationship.
"If anyone says in 10 years you don't go through ups and downs, they're lying to you. We're in a real relationship. We have our ups and we have our downs, but we definitely work through them, and we're great right now," LaLa told "Access Hollywood" in response to rumors that she and Carmelo have been having marital problems.

The Miami Heat had just watched the Super Bowl when Shane Battier delivered a speech that left quite the impression.
Whatever he said that night in Toronto, the Heat sure took off from there.
They haven't come down yet.
LeBron James and Chris Bosh each scored 28 points, and the Heat made it 21 straight wins, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 107-94 on Friday night.
Only three other teams have won 20 in a row in one season, and the Heat now trail just the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33) and the 2007-

4798The Houston Rockets wish they could get away from their habit of trailing early in games and needing big second-half rallies to pull them out.



As long as they have James Harden, it seems to be a working formula.
Harden scored 37 points, Jeremy Lin had 24 and the Rockets rallied from 20 points down in the third quarter to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-100 on Friday night.
Harden also grabbed seven rebounds and handed out eight assists for the Rockets, who rallied from a double-digit def

130315_sarah_palin_lede_reuters_328.jpgFormer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin re-emerged into the national spotlight to level a blistering rebuke of both President Barack Obama and the Republican establishment, calling upon a friendly conservative audience to "stop preaching to the choir."
Amid the Republican soul-searching on display at this week's Conservative Political Action Conference, the onetime GOP vice presidential nominee issued her prescription: "Now is the time to furlough the consultants, and tune out the pollsters, send the fo

4798It's been a little more than a year since the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, and the case is still unfolding. Zimmerman's defense team just released new evidence to the public, including photos of Martin's cell phone.
Martin's phone may be an important piece of evidence at trial, because the teenager was on the phone with his girlfriend when Zimmerman approached him the night he died.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge for shooti

Team USA fell to Team Puerto Rico in last night's elimination game, leading to another early exit in the World Baseballlb_icon1.png Classic. Nelson Figueroa made the start for Puerto Rico and his 83 mph fastball bamboozled the USA team for most of the night. He pitched six scoreless innings before giving way to the bullpen, who let USA back into the game.

The only run through the first five innings for either team cam in the top of the first when Mike Aviles knocked in Angel Pagan, who had led off the game
