What inspires us to adhere to such annihilistic beliefs? J. Allan Danelek, author of 2012: Extinction or Utopia, explains. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Why-We-Believe-in-Doomsday/1200809 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Why-We-Believe-in-Doomsday/1200809 The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.

What does this phrase as stated imply? http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/The-Prodigal-Son---When-He-Came-to-Himself/1195343 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/The-Prodigal-Son---When-He-Came-to-Himself/1195343 Paul's statement to the Philippians to work out your own salvation has troubled many who are not willing to take the statement at face value. Does the passage mean what it seems to be saying? http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Work-Out-Your-Own-Salvation/1187247 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Work-Out-Your-Own-Salvation/1187247 There is a spiritual order to Christian forgiveness. If it is not followed, we fool ourselves and do more harm than good. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Christian-Forgiveness---It-s-Not-What-You-Think/1183091 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Christian-Forgiveness---It-s-Not-What-You-Think/1183091 It seems to this writer that much of what is called Christendom today has lost the belief their forefathers held that obedience is essential to Christian salvation. What has become of the faith when obedience is held to be legalism? Whatever happened to sin? http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/When-did-Obedience-Become-Legalism-/1183041 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/When-did-Obedience-Become-Legalism-/1183041 There's so much more to an affair than most people realize. As bad as the act of adultery is, it brings with it other sins; e.g., a thousand forms of deception. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Adultery-Is-Spiritual-Suicide/1170850 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Adultery-Is-Spiritual-Suicide/1170850 some people say, "it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere." Have you heard that? Maybe, once, you believed that.... It is a philosophy that won't go away. But, do you know, sincerity does not make something true.

From the traditional architecture, many have transformed the exteriors into modern-looking buildings. The once rigid and ascetic ambiance in the interior has been replaced with the lively and contemporary look. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/What-to-Find-in-a-Church-Chair/1170261 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/What-to-Find-in-a-Church-Chair/1170261 Decorate the Quran with your (good) voices. (Mishkat) Whenever we recite Quran or hear The Quran being recited, we are filled with deep tranquility. The beautiful sound of recitation certainly affects our stiff hearts and melts our restless souls. It is a great miracle of this Holy Book, that even people not knowing the Arabic language start feeling a sort of connection with the flowing sound of recitation. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Heart-Trembling-and-Beautiful-Quran-Recitation/1169980 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Heart-Trembling-and-Beautiful-Quran-Recitation/1169980 Psychic reading is a method of foretelling a persons future. Psychic reading is of many types, systems and methods. They are otherwise called as extra-sensory readings. Only a person with psychic abilities can offer the service.

Can it be that this ancient story has parallels with our the world today, and that the Bible forecasts a time to come when men shall live in peace, without war, a time when temptation and sin will be non-existent? http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/The-Bible-Story-Of-Noah-Is-It-a-Fable--Or--A-Picture-Of-The-Future-Judgment-and-Salvation-Of-God-/1168750 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/The-Bible-Story-Of-Noah-Is-It-a-Fable--Or--A-Picture-Of-The-Future-Judgment-and-Salvation-Of-God-/1168750 Searching for the best church chair is not difficult, but it isnt easy either. It may not take a certified investor or a professional buyer to be able to purchase the right quality, but if you are unskilled about discerning which is a quality material and which is not, then, it is normal to get confused. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Finding-the-Best-Church-Chairs/1168348 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Finding-the-Best-Church-Chairs/1168348 It is said that we are all meant for something greater. We each have our destiny carved out for us even before our birth. Numerology is one of the things that could guide us towards discovering the greater things that we are meant to do. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Numerology--Master-Numbers-and-Our-Everyday-Lives/1167683 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Numerology--Master-Numbers-and-Our-Everyday-Lives/1167683 If you're reading this article, chances are that you're having a hard time in your relationship. First of all, I just want you to know that I've been where you are. I can remember sitting around all day trying to find a solution to how to stop my break up. Watching your relationship fall apart can be one of the most painful things in the world, especially if you feel like you have no control over it.

Perhaps then, a modern species in grave peril of losing it's own commonly shared global habitat, could begin to have a little more unbiased and accurate understanding of where Jesus and the authors of the Bible are coming from http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Does-Belief-in-God-Cause-War-/1164446 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Does-Belief-in-God-Cause-War-/1164446 Jesus taught the way to achieve peace is to put away our swords and spread peace and goodwill, rather than like scientists, create more and bigger swords, which is the Greek, Roman, American and world civilization history method of "securing the peace". Does Richard Dawkins have a better idea? Why do modern scientists, after 10,000 years of moral education to the contrary, continue to create weapons of mass destruction? With all of our technological advancement, why do the poor remain? http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Is-Richard-Dawkins-Smarter-Than-Jesus-/1164419 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Is-Richard-Dawkins-Smarter-Than-Jesus-/1164419 Article Summary http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/What-can-churches-do-by-David-Barton-and-Rick-Green/1162504 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/What-can-churches-do-by-David-Barton-and-Rick-Green/1162504 Your children deserve your very best, and that means following the example of our Savior. No matter your circumstances, remember the sacrifice of our Savior.

Far costlier than most people realize. There was a time this question was seldom asked, because those of faith knew the answer, as the Bible is so very clear on the subject, as was most preaching. http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/The-Biblical-Truth-About-Remarriage/1157765 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/The-Biblical-Truth-About-Remarriage/1157765 The Rider-Waite tarot deck is the most popular brand in use today in the English-speaking world.
