Are you tired of purchasing pricey household cleaning products? Are you leery of them, as they can be toxic and therefore dangerous to children and pets (and you as well)? It’s understandable – and in addition, because 1 in 3 people suffer from ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis or allergies (1) – removing synthetic chemicals in the home can go a long way in relieving these issues.

A few years ago, people exploring caves outside Jerusalem came across the find of a lifetime: an ancient burial cave containing the remains of a crucified man. This find is only one in a series of finds that overturns a century-old scholarly consensus. That consensus held that the Gospels are almost entirely proclamation and contain little, if any, real history. The remains belonged to a man who had been executed in the first century A.D., that is, from the time of Jesus. As Jeffrey Sheler writes in his book Is the Bible True? the skeleton confirms what the evangelists wrote

Pastor Richard Wurmbrand—the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs—had a way with words. In several countries around the world, I’ve met people who, usually with a gleam in their eye, have shared their experience of meeting Richard or Sabina. Many times, they remember a specific quote from a talk that Richard gave. He was a powerful, and profound, communicator. Not long ago, we gathered the entire VOM staff into a large room for a prayer gathering. We share chapel together each week, but this event was unique. It was one of the times each year we gather in a

“Fascinating article on the spiritual life of famed artist Vincent Van Gogh and how his religious paintings and writings have been kept hidden for many years.” Admin “The best way to know God is to love many things,” said Vincent Van Gogh. Most of us know the sordid story of a lovelorn Van Gogh chopping off his own ear. Yet Van Gogh’s original heartbreak didn’t come from a French prostitute or the estrangement from his fellow painter Paul Gauguin, but from the church. The frayed narrative of Van Gogh’s crummy love life and repeated rejection at the hands of les

This week we celebrate Valentine’s Day, a day Americans focus on love and romance. But most of those celebrating don’t know that the man for whom this day is named was a Christian persecuted because of his Christian actions. Valentine’s Day is celebrated every year on February 14th, but why? Many buy cards and candied hearts and do not know there was a man named Valentine. Who was the man behind this holiday that has become known for cupid, chocolate, roses and love notes saying, “Be my Valentine”? Valentine, or Valentinus as he was known, was a leader in the

Omega 3 fatty acids are the equivalent of nutritional gold. That’s because they are nature’s anti-inflammatory nutrients and are used in most chemical functions in the body. While fatty fish is frequently considered the best source of this essential fatty acid, it is not the only source. If you’re looking for some plant-based sources of Omega 3s, be sure to check out the following 17 vegan food sources, not in any particular order due to portion size variation and variations in measuring different food types: Read More Natural Health News and Wellness Tips: Top 17 Vegan Sources of Omega 3

A few weeks ago I wrote about how useful it would be to store thousands of books on an e-reader device, such as a Kindle. Surely, this isn’t the first time the idea has been proposed for the prepper community, but it deserves to be mentioned again. Planning to live without civilization means there will be times when we won’t have access to the skills we need. Society provides an immensely beneficial service to us, in the form of people who are specialized in certain tasks, such as doctors, mechanics, and electricians, etc. But despite spending their whole lives practicing

“What I found amazing was the number of people who have signed up to this site, a sad commentary on where British society is headed morally and spiritually.” Admin Over one million British people have signed up to a website that helps them arrange extra-marital relationships. Ashley Madison, which specialising in finding dates for people who are already married, now boasts 1,048,342 UK customers, the Sunday Times reports. Adverts for the website have not been shown on British television after concerns that some people could take issue with their content, however. Noel Biderman, chief executive of the service, told the

Forget the flu shot. A soup based on more than 50 cloves of garlic, onions, thyme and lemon will destroy almost any virus that enters its path including colds, flu and even norovirus. As we sneeze and cough our way through these dark months of contagious nasties, garlic is being hailed for its powers to halt viruses in their tracks. It has gained its reputation as a virus buster thanks to one of its chemical constituents, allicin. A recent and significant finding from Washington State University shows that garlic is 100 times more effective than two popular antibiotics at fighting

“Imaginary but insightful dialogue between two siblings in the womb about life after delivery and its real life implication about life after death.” Admin It’s one of the greatest and most profound questions of all time: Is there life after death? Even ancient philosophers were divided on the issue, but every culture in history has had some notion of continued existence. Today, well-known atheists such as Carl Sagan have argued, “The absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.” A tale of two unborn babies in the womb is turning the debate on its head, daring to shed light on the

“Excellent article on the many Biblical themed movies that have come out recently and the impact they are having not only here but elsewhere in the world.” Admin Nearly crushed under the press and paparazzi on the Hollywood red carpet Friday night, “Jesus” bore each flashbulb and barked question from reporters with the calm reserve of a man accustomed to being under fire from the media. But when WND asked Diogo Morgado, the man who plays “Jesus” in the movie “Son of God,” about the reports of people whose lives have been impacted by the film, the award-winning actor’s face

“Great article on Big Pharmas war against colloidal silver by trying to get it regulated as a pesticide of all things. It just shows how desperate they are to get it off the market. When it comes to money these people have no scruples or decency at all, just greed unlimited.” Admin Last year it was revealed that a handful of the activist agencies behind the petition to the EPA to regulate nano-silver as a pesticide received funding from pharmaceutical giant Merck, which annually has hundreds of billions of dollars in profits from patented antibiotics which many believe are less

Frederick Baily was born on a Maryland plantation around Feb. 7, 1817, though no accurate records exist, as he was a slave. He later chose the birth date of Feb. 14, as he remembered his mother calling him her “little valentine.” He never saw his mother in the daylight, as he was separated from her as an infant. He did not know who his father was. Around 12 years old, his master’s sister-in-law, Sophia Auld, was teaching Frederick the alphabet, despite this being against the law. When her husband found out and immediately forbade it, saying that if slaves could

“The boy started his miraculous recovery after his mother prayed out loud for him.” Admin A 14-year old St. Charles boy who spent 15 minutes under water after falling through the ice of Lake Ste. Louise has made a recovery no one can explain. It’s a recovery so complete, our Kay Quinn spoke on-camera to young John Smith about his near-drowning, and his amazing story of survival.

Addressing the crowd at the Oklahoma State Evangelism Conference last week, world-renowned evangelist Franklin Graham admittedly took a different spin than his iconic father, Billy Graham, on the podium and criticized America, declaring that “secularists have taken control of our country.” A Closer LookThe president of the Billy Graham Evangelist Association admonished believers in America for standing by while godless, democratically appointed government officials rip the Christian foundation of the country out from under them. “Our country has changed, and we’ve got to take a stand,” Graham exhorted the Oklahoma City crowd, according to The Christian Post. “We live in

Ever wonder what makes up highly popular fast food, such as McDonald’s chicken nuggets or french fries? If the fast food giants recently launched ‘transparency campaign’ tells us anything, it’s that the public is increasingly demanding truth and change. But what McDonald’s ‘truth campaign’ isn’t telling us is that much of its food is lathered in questionable, health-compromising ingredients. In the most recent transparency video from McDonald’s, Grant Imahara explains that there are 19 ingredients in America’s favorite fries, one of which is polydimethylsiloxane, which is used in the production of silly putty. This seemingly ‘essential’ french fry-Silly Putty ingredient

White and Pristine waters. Fernandina Beach, Florida, was straight out of a postcard! The perfect spot for my husband, Don, and me to celebrate our forty-first wedding anniversary. Only one thing could top it off, I thought while looking through a bowl of shells in a gift shop. Six years earlier I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Soon after, our daughter had surprised me with a simple necklace that said “believe.” It instantly boosted my faith. So much so that over the years Don and our son each gave me believe necklaces too. After that, I found myself inspired to

“Inspiring story of a woman who lived as a young Jewish girl in Hitlers Germany and who became a Christian at age 7. She shares valuable advice on what to do in times of intense persecution. There is a video interview of her as well.” Admin Anita Dittman has been speaking about the Holocaust for more than three decades, telling everyone who will listen of her survival and how Jesus Christ helped her escape the trap that was ‘Hitler’s hell.” She has reached thousands through her book, “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell,” co-authored with fellow Minnesotan Jan Markell.

At about the same time Muslim radicals were massacring the cartoonists in Paris, Boko Haram was levelling the city of Baga, Nigeria, killing an estimate 2,000 people. I was very angry and outraged at the horrific scale of murder of innocent people of all ages. Although the massacre in Nigeria was not specifically targeting Christians (as far as I know), as a Christian I am deeply troubled by the indiscriminate killing of human beings. I prayed for justice, for the international community to stop these atrocities that grow bolder as each day goes by, and to bring those killers to

The evangelist, Andrew, stared into the gun, wondering why the man didn’t fire. The assassin grew frustrated, then frightened, and finally he fled from the room. The phone rang, and Andrew found himself talking to the man who had come to kill him minutes earlier. “The Muslim leaders offered me a big reward to kill you,” the would-be assassin explained. “I rode across Bangladesh to come to your office. The reward was mine. I was ready to shoot, but I couldn’t move my arm. I couldn’t pull the trigger.” The evangelist praised the Lord for protection. Andrew found it somewhat
