“Why?” is an important question. It gets to the central issue. It is, we may say, the basic question. Why leads us to the reasons for whatever exists. Many never bother to ask why. They keep doing the same things without even thinking. Just going through the routine day after day without any bother to […]
Christians over all the world believe that Jesus is different from all other people. He is supreme. There are certain others who look to Jesus as a great teacher, as an outstanding reformer, as a prophet ranking with Moses. But Christians go farther in their belief. They believe Jesus is much more.

In everyday life we learn by comparing one thing with another. Most likely in your community you have certain sayings like, “hard as stone” or “dark as night.” These are comparisons we are all familiar with.

Some have developed this ability to a high degree. In the legal profession they are appointed judges, to interpret the laws of our communities […]
