White Man's Religion? NOT Christianity!
Christianity: White man's religion?Martin Luther King referred to Sunday as being "the most segregated day in America."Truer words were never spoken.A few years ago I was preaching and, Lord, help me, my opening words were, "Look around. What do you see? I see a church full of white people." The Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and others.... they'd all been there, but we had holes in our net and hadn't been able to keep 'em. Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is like a net, catching ALL kinds of fish..." (Matt 13:47) and that includes black ones, brown ones, red, yellow, Protestant and Catholic, young, old, male and female.As Americans, we often project an imperialistic attitude that the rest of the world...
Well it sure seems interesting that there have been so many recent Earthquakes in the Nation State of Iran. It appears Iran and its President have been in the news for all the wrong reasons, such as promising to; Blow Israel off the Map and sponsoring international terrorist organizations such as but not limited too; Hamas and Hezbollah.Iran has also been in the news for buying Chinese ICBM missiles which are 35-feet long and capable of carrying nuclear warheads over 1200 miles meaning most countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. But that is not all, as the most serious reason they have been in the news lately is because they are developing nuclear weapons, as they wish to build an...
How on earth can you help your family cope with the anxiety and fear that natural disasters strike into the heart of everyone?In early 2005, for example, the world was rocked by the tsunami in South East Asia that killed thousands and left many homeless and orphaned.Yet, at the Edinburgh International Festival yesterday I saw a group of Sri Lankan children, all victims of this natural disaster, perform a dance routine based on a play by Shakespeare.Their smiling faces and youthful exuberance left no one in any doubt that these kids had not only survived, but had been helped to grieve, move on, and live life to the full again.It can be done.But what of our own kids, who have not suffered...

Be A Rebel
Everyday, millions of children march to school with drudgery and resistance. As young children, they go in open-hearted and free -- at night, they imagine that their tiny hands can reach up and touch the birds. The entire world is a new place and the fascination of beauty never subsides. But as older adolescents leaving their high school, they go close-minded and bondaged -- at night, they drink themselves into passing out and talk about the most popular thing to come, under obligation. The boys worry about their sexual conquests. The girls worry about their sexual appearance. Both worry about being social in a society that has made a weakness of kindness and an insult of emotion. Such a...

Sudoku Tips - Sudoku Origin
Have you ever wonder who invented Sudoku? I would like to share with you a real encounter with a Sudoku fanatic I met from my site. I wrote this article History of Sudoku on my site which traces its origin. The history of Sudoku is said to trace back to 18th century. Very often, you will come across many sites that linked the development of Sudoku to Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. There are some sites even claimed that he invented Sudoku. Though it is not proven, it adds colours to the argument as to who actually invented Sudoku. I received a strange email from a Sudoku fanatic, apparently a Japanese, who felt so strongly that the name Leonhard Euler should not even be mentioned in the history...
Color Continuum
Colors add something to life which cannot be attained by any other mean, we simply make our life colorful, we skill our dreams colorful and skill our ideas colorfully all the time.

Being the most enchanting gift of nature, colors might have attracted human beings at the largest scale in this universe right...
The Power of Antioxidants Times Three
In the third grade I was told I could write a paper on any topic for an English homework assignment. I chose the subject of scurvy as it affected sailors who were away at sea for long periods of time and the resulting discovery of Vitamin C as its cure. I remember the paper well for I was literally transcended from ignorance to a place of awe at the intricacies of the human body and its response to nutrients.Today, antioxidants are the word on the street. They are used to boost energy (forget caffeine - this stuff rocks!) and these antioxidants fight infection, and address a whole range of health issues.Before XanGo, Tahitian Noni, Fruta Vida, (containing, respectively, mangosteen, goji, and acai...

As an athlete (or at least having been an athlete in the past) and a sports fan, one of the difficult things about finding myself on an extended stay in Shanghai, China (setting up sporting goods manufacturing and other business contacts) is the near isolation from most American sports. Although basketball, over the past ten or so years, has become popular among the Chinese people, baseball has yet to find its way into the sports culture here. While at every school or playground it's likely you'll find some kid aspiring to become the next Yao Ming, mention the term "baseball" to most Chinese, even ones who speak pretty good English, and you'll likely find yourself having to search through a...
Tea: When Are The Best Green Tea Pluckings?
Green tea has become a very popular beverage in the Western world. It has been popular in Asia for centuries, where it was produced more than 3000 years ago. Today, most green tea is still produced in Asia, though other countries produce green tea, as well. There are literally hundreds of varieties of green tea, and many different grades of quality within these many varieties. Green tea comes from the same plant as black and white teas; the Camellia sinensis. Green tea differs from black tea in the way it's processed, however. Green tea is not fermented during its processing the way that black tea is. Rather, after the tea leaves are plucked, they are laid out to wither for about 8 to 24 hours to...

At about the same time I started to think about building my own website, I considered my personal strengths and resources.

Learn Japanese for a real communication for your work, school project, and communicating with your Japanese mate properly. Many people think that Learning to speak Japanese language is more difficult than learning to write Japanese. But, it is actually vice versa, because there are 3 different Japanese symbol called Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana, if you want to learn to write Japanese. Normally, many Westerners think that kanji symbol is the only writing form we use in Japanese. It is true that we use kanji symbols more than hiragana or katakana symbols when writing something in Japanese. However, unlike Chinese people who use only Kanji symbols, we mix up all Japanese scripts. So, when do you have...

North and Australian Capital Territories
Northern TerritoryThe Northern Territory was part of New South Wales from 1825 to 1863. It was then divided from that colony and became a part of South Australia (1863 - 1911). In 1911, ten years after it was federated, control was separated from South Australia to the Commonwealth of Australia. For a short period of time between 1926 and 1931, the Territory was divided at the 20th parallel of the south latitude. The new territories were North Australia and Central Australia. However, the Act which had established this division was repealed in 1931, and the Territory reverted to the original name.As with all of the Territories and States of Australia, the first people to inhabit it were...

The World Within Or Online Multiplayer Games In...
For most of the 20th century, life used to be rather simple for most people. There was school, college, work, retirement. Along with that you had hobbies like cars, bowling, or gardening. The former was more or a less of a chore, the latter the fun stuff you did in your free time, usually together with local friends from the same neighborhood. This was basically the same as a thousand years ago. For a few lucky people the two areas overlapped and they could do the stuff that they liked as their main job.Now, in the last 10 years of the 20th century, as well as in the first few years of the 21st, this has been changing rather dramatically. The reason is the rapid technical progress, both in the wide...

In the last 2 weeks, there have been a number of reports, articles and interviews in the Asian Media about the creation of Asian currency unit (ACU), a single Asian currency. By going through these articles, I could understand one thing that ACU will not take place anytime soon, not even in the next 5 years- the earliest time I see is 2015. ASEAN+3 group of countries are behind the idea of ACU and soon these countries are going to start a research project about ACU.Well, I am not in favor of calling it as 'Asian Currency Unit' as it is mainly limited to some East Asian countries and all the countries of South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East and West Asia are left out in it. However, the same goes...

For example, Citicorp (the largest American-owned bank in the United States) was one of the first to set-up offshore operations. It wasn't too long before 64 percent of its net income was being generated by offshore sources. Some of the pioneering centers have evolved into world-class financial and economic headquarters. Since the early 1970s, these centers have initiated policies deliberately designed to attract international trade by minimizing tax obligations and reducing (or entirely eliminating...
