What is real love? Is it a feeling? Is it something inherent in us or does it need to be taught? Many would be surprised to know that there is an ancient source that gives us guidance on the meaning of true love. The Bible is the most up-to-date instruction manual in existence when it comes to this subject. It teaches us how to show proper love towards one another.

The concept of live for today and forget about tomorrow permeates much of youth culture. But is this truly the way to live your life? Is it the way that produces the greatest happiness? Is a meaningless existence truly fulfilling? Or should we look to a great purpose established by the Creator of all that exists?

Many people believe in the existence of an all-powerful God who created the universe and designed and engineered life on this planet. Atheists scoff at such a notion, believing that Charles Darwin drove a nail in God’s coffin over 150 years ago. Others simply declare that they cannot know. Which view is correct?

Scientific studies have proved advantageous in learning how best to implement all kinds of diverse programs. Could we examine morality through the same logic? Would we find that the results of certain actions outlawed in the Bible carry consequences that hurt ourselves and those around us?
