Safe or Sorry?—Being Informed Is the Key

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” This was one of the slogans I heard repeatedly in one multi-level company I was once a part of. The meaning is clear. If you want something to happen, you have to make it happen yourself. Don’t expect someone else to do it. […]

Protect Your Ears—Or Else

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. Drag racing is exciting! So is watching drag racing. No doubt about it! In her article “Races Give Fans an Earful” (Gainesville Sun, Florida, March 18, 2007) Diane Chun sucks you right into the excitement.

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life [which also includes perfect hearing] through Jesus Christ our Lord." [Romans 6:23]

"But know this, in the last days perilous times will come" [2 Timothy 3:1]. "For there will be famines, pestilences, and [severe] earthquakes in various places" [Matthew 24:7], "distress of nations, the sea and the waves roaring"—tsunamis, hurricanes—Luke 21:25, but this is good news if you have put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, for "when these things begin to happen, lift up your heads [and rejoice] because your redemption draws near" [Luke 21:28].
