The Increase of Violence In Our Society (Part II)

The thrust of this second article in the series on violence and its debilitating effects on society as a whole is on some of the major causes of violence. These causes are varied and occur at different levels of human society. In the first article we observed the following in the way of definitions and types or forms of violence:

The Nature of Natural, Spiritual Gifts (Part II)

The thrust of this second article of our series on natural and spiritual abilities is how we can discover and develop our gifts.

The Christmas Story: The Reason for the Celebration

Christmas is now one of the most popular holidays if not the most popular holiday in the wide world. For most business people, Christmas is a major commercial opportunity.

Thus, many people get lost in the festivities and the commercialism associated with Christmas, losing sight of its purpose and essence.

Advent: A Lesson for Liberia

In the previous article, we modestly explored the meaning and relevance of the Church year and the liturgical seasons. We noted that Advent is the first of the seasons. It is a four-Sunday season just before Christmas. Its thrust is on looking forward to and preparing for the birth of Jesus at Christmas (the first coming) as well as his return at the end of time to judge the world (the second coming).
