The word “glory” in the Greek N.T. is doxa which means an opinion, an estimation, or reputation in which one is held.

The Modern Wiccan Movement
Many Wiccans will often claim that the Wiccan religion is an ancient pre-Christian religion. Such an assertion is usually made to give an air of maturity, and hence authority to the religion. It is most certainly true that there were many pre-Christian religions that worshipped a Goddess, and it is entirely possible that a hereditary tradition could have been passed down throughout the ages, but such a position is very difficult to prove.

Jesus Name in History
Jesus said this: Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Christianity's Subversion
The master plan of the Communist-Socialist thinkers from the beginning of this century (Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao) set out to subvert the world from all its religion. A brilliant Socialist named Antonio Gramsci conceived a more effective approach for eliminating the religious component in society. His theory was to abandon the reign of terror for a subtle but diabolical strategy of supplanting all of Christianity and religion with the stuff of it's undoing: materialism, secularism, and the like.

The French Fry
I was sitting in my car on a restaurant parking lot, waiting to meet up with some friends for lunch. Several blackbirds were hopping around the parking lot, looking for something to eat. One of them found something that actually looked like a cigarette butt, but he grabbed it up, and quickly ran underneath an automobile to evaluate his find. The other birds nearby suddenly noticed that their buddy had found something, and, thinking it was real food, they came running after him.

Those Who Live In Glass Houses
The Protestants criticise the Mormons because they baptize for the dead. They rightly say that they use one Scripture to justify it, which is taken out of context. "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?" (1 Corinthians 15:29) However, they turn around and baptise others using only one Scripture while ignoring the rest of the them, as well as history.

Running From God
Today people there are people who try to walk or run away from God. The truth is that you can't run from an omnipresent God. So why attempt to do the impossible? One reason is found in John 3:20. "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." They are willfully sinning. The reason why many people run from God is because they love their sin more than God. Another reason why people run from God is that they feel some bitterness.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Sir William Ramsay, regarded as one of the greatest archaeologists ever, investigated the writings of Luke in an apparent effort to undermine the Gospel writer's credentials as a historian, and to discredit the entire New Testament. After 30 years of study, however, Ramsay concluded, "Luke is a historian of the first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy... this author should be placed along with the very greatest of historians."
