Filed under In the World

Many people have differing views about Halloween. We have a few articles about this holiday, including one on the history of Halloween (Bible verses are included), and an article full of ideas of fun fall costumes to wear. We also have articles just for celebrating autumn with instructions on painting pumpkins and recipes [...]

I could not let the marriage issue of Pierce My Heart pass without talking about the biggest marriage debate in politics right now: same-sex marriage. It seems more and more frequently, law makers and political figures are talking about whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to marry.
There are currently six states that have voted [...]

When someone thinks about college, usually going to classes online is not something that comes to most people’s minds. However, distance learning has some great advantages for those who are unable to go to a campus for school. For me, it has proven to be an excellent choice. I graduate with my associates in September [...]

Choosing a career is not easy. There are so many choices and specialties out there that the possibilities are seemingly endless. From healthcare to accounting, business to law, there are many jobs, each claiming to be the best.
I wanted this list to be about more than the job salary. Actually, I didn’t want that to [...]

Recently, an interesting case on the news caught my eye. I didn’t know anyone related to it; I didn’t know anything about it. I just found myself reading a live daily blog of what happened in court. This was a murder case. It seemed as though everyone was speculating which way the jury would [...]

Lately it seems all the big news has to do with the word “bailout.” This bailout is the government helping companies find a way out of bad economic decisions, poor spending, and over-inflated salaries for executives. I could go on and on with reasons why this idea is good and bad, but really all of [...]

All photos in this article were taken eight weeks after conception, when the baby was just over one inch long. Abortion Part 1 can be read here.

Most of you have heard of the Supreme Court case called Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion. But until recently I never really understood what the case was really [...]

Many people like to outwardly, physically show their affection for their significant other, and in February (the month of love) we’re actually encouraged to do so! This PDA (Public Display of Affection) has become widely accepted in our society, but it’s actually contrary to God’s word.
The problem
Even though PDA seems to be everywhere and [...]

Voting and Elections: How they Affect You

When I was a teenager, politics really didn’t interest me all that much. I couldn’t vote (until I was 18, of course), and I really didn’t pay any taxes because any money I paid was returned to me with a simple tax form every April. So, why should I care about all the uproar that [...]
