Today I want to remind folks of good will that another seed might have already been planted, with official blessing, which will lead to a greater harm. I am talking about the possible collapse of the institution of the family, with kids having both a father and a mother to nurture them.

It is common knowledge today that among certain ethnic groups in America , 70% of their babies are born out of wedlock. Forty years ago, they only had 25% such babies. It increased after people with "good intentions" decided that government should take care of babies, in proportion to the number produced without regard to parental responsibility. Certain people, given their history, bought the argument and the rest of society went along. Today few of the young men in that group knew anything about fatherhood. They never met dad.

Revelation 8:1 says, "There was silence in heaven for half an hour." What does that mean?

Revelation is widely recognized as "the book" on prophecy. Not just prophecies like those in the Old Testament which had been fulfilled, but "predictions" extending to our century and beyond. Unfortunately there is much speculation (leading to confusion) and fear (resulting in avoidance) about this book, mainly from a lack of understanding on the nature of prophecies.
