The virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to have originated in bats and then spread to snakes and pangolins and hence to humans, perhaps by...

When someone disagrees with you, contradicts your argument, or rejects your ideas, it doesn’t feel so good, does it? Our values and beliefs represent a small glance into our hearts: our personal experiences, our upbringing, our passions. Knowing this, it isn’t so surprising that when our political, ethical, or social ideas are questioned, we tend to get defensive, emotional, or even accusatory. In modern day discussions, whether it be in politics, business, school, or around the dinner table, we seem...

The lucky few are removed from their abusers and given therapeutic help, if available, while others’ abuse continues to go unreported; emotional abuse seems to go unreported because people tend to brush it off. People who are emotionally abused at a young age are more susceptible to depression because their emotional neglect leads to feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt that could trigger...

Understanding these concepts is essential to the understanding of a biblical worldview which is foundational to the Christian life. A Christian should base everything...
