“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” is the famous line from the Wizard of Oz wherein the “wizard” doesn’t want Dorothy and the others to know what is actually going on.

Of all the sins that man may commit, lying is perhaps the most destructive. Lies, per se, aren’t all that harmful; they’re just words, but their consequences are destructive. When people base their decisions on lies, they make bad choices which ends up destroying their and other’s lives. Moreover, lies conceal the truth, which may […]
Why did God make the dinosaurs go extinct? Is it true they just didn’t evolve to their (new) environment? I appreciate this question.

Are the Ten Commandments still in effect? Are we to follow the Ten Commandments? Are they written for us?

Is a person responsible for their children’s personal relationship with God after they leave the home? What does this do to the qualifications of the elder?
