I recently read an excellent (ongoing) series of news articles in The Epoch Times about the history of public education in America. The author, Alex Newman, carefully documents for the reader the methods by which a succession of individuals and groups holding ideologies that drastically disagree with those of the founding fathers of the United […]

The Fruit of the Tree
There is a lot of symbolism in the Bible. One metaphor frequently used is that of a tree to represent a person. Jesus used it to teach about how we can observe by a person’s fruits what is inside of them, whether good or bad. Since we can’t see INSIDE of a person, we need […]
