35,000 People Jumping Into the Boat!
Tuesday, September 02, 2008 (1315 reads)
An Amazing Fact: Imagine going fishing and having dozens of fish literally jump straight into your boat - no pole, no net, and no line needed! Well, it happens in northern Brazil on the Mequens River. If you go out at night and shine a spotlight over the water, the fish go crazy and start jumping everywhere - even into your boat. Why do they do this? First, this part of the Mequens is a conservation area with a robust fish population. Second, the light attracts flying bugs, which send the fish into a feeding frenzy!

Save the Children!
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 (1901 reads)
An Amazing Fact: In April 2007, Cameron Peters was driving through a Henderson, Nevada, neighborhood when he noticed fire and black smoke pouring out from a house. The teenager stopped his car, ran to the home, and discovered that eight young children were still inside. He called 911 and then courageously risked his life by entering the home, which was now engulfed in flames. "SAVE THE CHILDREN!" kept ringing in Cameron's ears as, each time, he entered the burning house. By himself, choking on the thick smoke, Cameron gathered up all the children and carried them to safety. He reentered the inferno multiple times to ensure that everyone had been rescued. In the end, the home was completely destroyed. Had Cameron not stopped and acted bravely, many young and precious lives would certainly have been lost. |

Boldly Sounding the Trumpet of Truth
Thursday, July 10, 2008 (2178 reads)
An Amazing Fact: Among the most famous trumpeters who participated in the Olympic games (303 BC) was Herodorus of Megas. He was a giant man with a broad chest, and his playing was so loud that many in the audience were literally stunned by the concussion of his horn's blast! It is said that at the siege of Argos, Herodorus played two trumpets at one time with such force and power that the immense sound wave drove the troops forward and caused the enemy to fall back. |

Tripling the Harvest!
Monday, June 02, 2008 (2286 reads)
An Amazing Fact: Corn is one of the most versatile of all plants and is used to make everything from flour, syrup, starch, oil, livestock feed, paints, soaps, linoleum, nylon, and more. But when corn was first discovered in the Americas, the plants were no more than four feet tall and the small ears had sparse kernels. But about 1933, botanists discovered that by combining the best qualities of different types of corn, they could grow healthier plants and 50 percent higher yields. They call this "hybrid vigor." Most of the corn now grown in the Corn Belt is hybrid and reaches about eight feet tall, and some varieties grow over 20 feet high with ears 2 feet long! |

The Pope's Agenda
Thursday, May 15, 2008 (1356 reads)
An Amazing Fact: The country with the smallest population is the Vatican. In 1929, the 109-acre Vatican City was established within Rome as an independent state governed by the Pope, who has absolute executive, legislative, religious, and judicial power. This tiny nation boasts its own currency, postal system, daily newspaper, telephone and internet services, and even a small railroad station. The famous Swiss Guard serve as the police, maintaining internal security and protection of the Pope. Yet despite their tiny territory and mere 1,000 residents, even China - a land of 1.5 billion people - fears this "little country." |

Up until the fall of the Berlin Wall, the two nuclear-armed superpowers, the United States and the former Soviet Union, experienced a dangerously frost-bitten relationship that fomented distrust and paranoia. Thankfully, those days are over - but Pastor Doug is worried about another "cold war" brewing that has nothing to do with an international chill ... |

A Slow Suicide
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 (3860 reads)
Proverbs 3:7 says, "Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones" (NKJV). The Bible has a lot to say about living healthy lives, but not many people - even Christians - are paying attention to these life-saving principles. Pastor Doug Batchelor addresses this physical and spiritual suicidal crisis with this eye-opening message! |
