Hasn’t science disproved God? These days, many people in our society, many teachers, many celebrities, many scientists, say that it is unreasonable to believe in Christianity or in God. They say that people used God to explain things that science can now explain for us. But NOW we have scientific explanations of the world. We no longer NEED belief in God. In fact, many would say that science has d...

In any given year, the World Health Organization says 1 in 4 people worldwide will experience mental-health issues. It is only increase by being in isolation due to lockdown, especially for our young people.

As we are single till we get married and then, generally one spouse will die before the other, and for many the remaining spouse can be single again for 10, 20, 30, 40 years. So what we do with our singleness, and our attitude towards it, really matters. But where does singleness fit with...

We’re so used to Hollywood portrayals of marriage - a wedding followed by the impending doom of a divorce somewhere during the course of the movie, or reading about yet another celebrity marriage that didn’t last.

However, it objects strongly to the idea of...

Suffering is everywhere. Tens of thousands of people die every day in unexpected tragedies, traffic accidents and cancer. That is comparable to the population of a small city being swept away every day, leaving families and friends devastated in the wake. It’s the numbers of people who suffer is overwhelming.
