Why Does Our Life Seem Short?

Some tortoises live for 150 years, and some trees for 3,000 years. By contrast, the human life span is much shorter.  Yet, our life can be a lot more meaningful than that of a tortoise or a tree. Jehovah God created humans with the capacity to enjoy music, sports, dining, learning, traveling, and meeting people. God put in our hearts the desire for life without end.

"Everything he has made pretty in its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their heart...."

- Ecclesiastes 3:11

How Can Children Change a Marriage?

Many parents know that children can change a marriage in unexpected ways. They may be thrilled at the arrival of their first baby.

Is the Bible a Book of Human Wisdom?

The Bible, also known as the Holy Scriptures, does contain many wise sayings. However, note the claim that the Bible makes for itself:

"All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,  that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.'"

1 Timothy 3:16,17

There is much evidence to back up that claim. Interesting points that are worth-considering can be read  HERE .

Does God care About Women?

In many parts of the world, women suffer discrimination and mistreatment. Sadly, religious beliefs have contributed to this. 

Some think that God doesn't care about them, that he has forgotten them. However, notice what God's Written Word, the Bible, says about how husbands should treat their wives.

"In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself,  for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation." 

- Ephesians 5:28,29
