Boycott Amazon. In other news, California has signed a bill yesterday requiring all Internet sales companies to collect sales tax. Amazon has retaliated by cutting off all sales associates in California (including God and Science) from collecting referral fees for purchased items. As a result, the site will no longer be receiving revenue to help pay the yearly $600 hosting costs. So, I am going to encourage all of you to boycott Amazon.com and let them know why you are doing so. You can close your Amazon account by clicking here. If you do so, please let them know why.

God is Not "Fair"
God is not fair! It is the common complaint for the majority of people undergoing
intense suffering or loss. If this describes you or if you are still struggling
with life's unfairness that happened to you many years ago, Joel Freeman's book
God Is Not "Fair"
is for you. Written from Dr. Freeman's perspective of being a pastor with a
Ph.D. in Pastoral Counseling,
God Is Not "Fair" examines the question of suffering from
both the Bible and personal experience. More...

Eternal Security
For the past ten years or so I have been asked on a regular basis to do an article on eternal security. I have been aware for some time that Google search results are highly skewed to prioritize articles from those who advocate that we have no security of our salvation. I hesitated to do such an article, because it required not only presenting the evidence for eternal security, but also rebutting all the claims of eternal security deniers. The resulting article took over a month to finish and lists more than 400 verses related to eternal security and three dozen verses eternal security deniers claim show one can lose his salvation. I highly recommend reading the article, since it will encourage your faith and give you an appreciation of God's promises and provisions for our salvation. Don't skip through the lists of verses - there are some real gems there! More...

Christian suicide?
I got a request from a Christian asking what happens to Christians who kill themselves. One is sometimes hesitant to provide an answer to someone who might be considering suicide. Although suicide is not within the will of God, the act of suicide, like any other sin, does not automatically disqualify a person from heaven. More...

Judging the Sabbath
Former
Seventh Day Adventist and current Wycliffe Bible translator Wesley Ringer
has written a 51 page review of Judging the Sabbath. In this book,
Ron du Preez claims that the Sabbath mentioned in Colossians
2:16 refer to annual sabbaths, rather than the weekly Sabbath, allowing
Seventh Day Adventists to assert that the monthly new moons and the yearly
feasts or appointed times that God gave to Israel indeed foreshadowed the
reality that Christ would bring, while insisting that Paul was speaking of a
yearly ceremonial Sabbath like the Day of Atonement. This allows them to
maintain that the weekly Sabbath was given before man sinned and therefore
cannot foreshadow the salvation from sin that Christ would bring. Since the
weekly Sabbath is not a shadow of Christ, it must still be kept today. Mr.
Ringer's in-depth analysis of the text, along with the what the Old and New
Testaments say about the Sabbaths, show this not to be the case, which is
why Christians are free to celebrate the Lord's day on Sunday or any other
day of the week without condemnation. More...
