Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus - Separating Myth From Truth
Some how it became natural to believe that Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas are one and the same person. You maybe surprised to learn that Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas do not have that much in common after all. Unfortunately in English and some other languages their name may seam similar, but in many cultures the person of Santa Claus is called by the names that do not resemble name “Nicholas” in any way. There is strong tendency in our society to identify Saint Nicholas with Santa Claus, as a complimentary to each other, this is particularly true about commercialized western society. In order to separate the truth about Saint Nicholas from the myth of Santa Clause we need to take a closer look into the history.

The Question of Human Suffering
Human suffering is one of the most difficult things to understand in this world. The Bible does give some explanations, though it is a subject that cannot be completely comprehended. God’s ways are beyond ours, and we must accept it by faith, knowing the Creator cannot do evil. We cannot answer this completely because our thoughts are not his thoughts and our ways are not his ways (ISA 55:9). We must however, remember that this world was not meant to be a perfect place without difficulties or suffering. Although it was created and belongs to the God of heaven, Satan reigns as the god of this world (2 CO 2:4). He goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour (1PE 5:8). The evil one causes much pain and suffering by inflicting people with hate and destructive sinfulness.

The Seven Churches of The Book of Revelation
When one reads chapter two and three in the last book of the Bible (Revelation), many questions may arise as to why God choose the seven churches and in the order He addressed them through His servant John to write. Young Christians normally attempt to spiritualize the letters to the seven churches as they retrace History with total confusion. Many young and even mature Christians are unaware that the “seven churches” were literal historical churches in Asia.

Babylon in Prophecy: Road to Armageddon
Saddam tried to rebuild Ancient Babylon, before that he tried to rule the land with an iron hand. There are reasons for all this, just as there are reasons beyond the front-page news, why we are still there, Americans. Historically, and geographically, this is a strategic point in the world. The Euphrates River is about 150-miles from Babylon, and Iraq is becoming a important piece of the New World Order, puzzle to Armageddon. (You may want to reflect in the Bible (Isa. Ch. 13; Jer Chap 50 and Rev. Chap 18.) Hang on I will get to the point in a minute.

Bishop of Rome and Ecumenical Dialog with Orthodox Christians
One of the main stumbling blocks in the ongoing Ecumenical Dialog between Roman Catholic church and the Orthodox Churches is the primacy of the bishop of Rome. Difference in view on this particular issue lies in the way each sees the figure of the Pope and how he should exercise his authority. Although endless discussions can be held to prove each other prospective the real difference is not as crucial as one may see it.

believer, and learning to share in that passion in a genuine
love relationship with our Lord and Saviour.
