by Contributing Writer, Sally Fam Part I Most people are familiar with the Golden Rule: “Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them…” (Matthew 7:12). This rule is used by people from all kinds of worldviews and faiths; note that different worldviews use similar language. But many of these […]

As examination of personal suffering by Lisa Quintana I had just received my Master’s degree (Dec. 2017) in Apologetics from the country’s top-rated university in this field, Biola.

(excerpt taken from my upcoming “Think Divinely Daily Devotional”) “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 19:31 Superstitions have been around since the dawn of man. One superstition, which is prevalent […]

I often go by the shortened name of “Lisa Q.” It’s because my married name is Quintana, and most folks (particularly in the Midwest) don’t know how to pronounce it correctly.
