Hollywood directors, neighborhood movie theatres and sci-fi authors have for many years, with spectacular visuals, shown us dramatic theories on how society as we know it will end. A team of scientists from Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute and the Global Challenges Foundation, after researching the topic, even established a list of twelve...
All my life I was taught that Canada was the second biggest landmass in the world. Part of that knowledge also included the fact that the Canadian prairies were grain baskets for Canada, and also the world, but I had never experienced it firsthand. So, several years ago, as we drove to a new home in Manitoba, we decided to go through the north of the United...
Many predicted it would happen, but few were ready for how it would really feel to so many Americans. The Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex “marriage” is to be legal throughout the United States, joining another 20-or-so countries where it is already legal in one form or another. But what does this mean to you? Indeed, if you are a man married to a woman, or...
An impostor is a person who deceives others by pretending to be someone else. There have been a number of notable impostors in recent history. Some impostors may be harmless, but others can be very dangerous. We would be wise to beware of such "wolves" posing as "sheep."
What if you could borrow a large sum of money, and your lender paid you to borrow it? This actually happened in Europe recently, and in Spain and Portugal, banks have actually paid interest to their borrowers—instead of the depositors! This phenomenon is called “negative interest,” and although it is a bit complicated, you need to know how it works.

How did the SDA church get to this point? And, more importantly, what is God’s word on women serving as priests, clergy and ministers?
The Battle of Waterloo, which took place ten miles south of Brussels, was arguably one of the most important and historic of all European battles. It ended the French imperialistic ambitions that had convulsed much of Europe in armed conflict over the preceding 20 years and paved the way for Britain’s emerging global dominance as the foremost maritime nation and...
Many consider that the single most significant legal document in history is Magna Carta. Consequently, there will be much fanfare on June 15, 2015, the 800th anniversary since its ratification in 1215 by King John and his dissatisfied barons. But, amidst all the celebrations and media coverage, have we forgotten a vitally important point of even greater...
Back in 1940, as Britain faced its “darkest hour” of World War II, the nation's future hung in the balance. During a remarkable and harrowing window of eight days in late May and early June, a series of miracles took place, focused on the evacuation of the British army at Dunkirk. Now, exactly eighty years later, we can still learn much from those miraculous...
Tim Heffernan, in the article “Rust Never Sleeps” from the March 2015 issue of The Atlantic, wrote: “Technological advances and cultural change can do only so much to fight rust, however. We can greatly slow corrosion, but we cannot stop it outright. Exposed iron and steel naturally revert to their lowest energy states by giving up their electrons to oxygen and...
