It appears that an intelligence coup has been scored against the United States by the First Bureau of the Military Intelligence Department in China, responsible for gathering intelligence abroad.

Over the last few months, we have been exploring, not only what the functions of the Mind of Christ are, but also its role and purpose. Our pivotal Scripture has been Isaiah 11:1-2, which lists the operations and capabilities of the Holy Spirit giving us the Mind of Christ.

We have been reviewing the various elements of the Armor of God (from Ephesians 6:10-18), and this month we come to the sixth in Paul's list of seven:

In considering the material and physical realms of the universe-the subject of our last two studies-we have not yet raised the issue of the nature of time and eternity. Let's touch on this as we meditate on the meaning of Easter and the death of Jesus on the cross.

Recently, it has come to our attention that many people are confused both about the existence of what is commonly called the subconscious and its role. Many Christians, driven by their concern about the preoccupation of psychologists with the subconscious, mistakenly ignore its Biblical basis.

In the mainline media, those who adhere to the position that there is some kind of "conspiracy" pushing us towards a world government are virulently ridiculed.

In our continuing series on the various elements of the Armor of God (from Ephesians 6:10-18), last month we explored our "Helmet of Salvation." However, we had left some additional aspects to discuss further this month. How adequate is our "Helmet?"

Last month we reviewed passages in the New Testament that refer to God's creation of the universe. We learned that all created things in the material and spiritual realms were created through Jesus, the eternal Son of God. Also, everything was created for Jesus - He is the heir of all things.

In our continuing series of articles exploring "the Armor of God" as listed in Ephesians 6, we will now address the fifth in Paul's series of seven:

Is our universe expanding or static? If it is expanding, is there sufficient mass to cause it all to collapse back in upon itself under gravity's influence? If the universe is static and not now expanding, is it stable?

Many consider the survival of Saddam Hussein from the Persian Gulf War a serious miscalculation.1 With Warren Christopher and William Perry departing the Clinton Administration, it appears that Saddam Hussein is now bolder than ever, buoyed by his humiliating defeat of the CIA in northern Iraq in September.

In our continuing review of the "Armor of God," we have been examining each of the elements listed in Ephesians 6. In this article, we will explore verse 16 in which we encounter the fourth of Paul's list of seven:

Whether it's Bosnia, Chechnya, or the Kurds, we all are becoming increasingly aware of conflicts involving the Muslim world. There is much going on in the Islamic world that bears prophetic implications.

One voter in each precinct of the United States will determine the next president of the United States. One vote. Thats a big weapon you have there, Mister. In 1948, just one additional vote in each precinct would have elected Dewey. In 1960, one vote in each precinct in Illinois would have elected Nixon. One vote.

I hope you are enjoying our series on being transformed by the renewing of our minds ( Romans 12:2). Transformation is simply an exchange of life. It means we are showing forth and manifesting Christ's Life instead of our own.

Scripture has commanded us to "put on the whole Armor of God." In recent articles, we have been exploring the various elements which make up the Armor of God as detailed in Ephesians 6:10-18. In this article we will explore our footwear:

This is the third in our series on the "Armor of God,"1 in the hopes of getting better prepared to endure our present "Age of Deceit."

Hello again. Let's continue our series on being transformed by the renewing of our minds. For those of you who are joining us for the first time this month, We have already explored the following topics in this series: how God brings transformation about in our lives; what the word "mind" really means; and, how we "put off" the garbage in our minds and "put on" the Mind of Christ.

Last month we began a series of articles on the "Armor of God." You and I are engaged in a desperate warfare: a spiritual warfare. If we are not properly prepared, we are sitting ducks.

We have been doing a series of articles on how we can be transformed into Christ's Image by the "renewing of our minds." In our first couple of articles we explored just exactly how God brings about this transformation in our lives. Then, we took a look at "mind renewal" itself and all that it entails.
