Chronic pain: pain lasting longer than 12 weeks. Lance Frazer addresses the problem in his article in Legion Magazine. We’ve seen the lawsuit, heard the verdict, and accept the proof that opioid addiction is a real and alarming cause of death. Danielle Perret of the University of California at Irvine says, “While short courses (of opioid use) may be of value, once you pass the 5-to-7 day mark, you enter the realm of heightened risk of addiction.” Research shows that women are more likely to su...
When the British colonies won the American Revolution, they created the “United States of America” with 13 states. As everyone surely knows, we now have 50 states. How did we get from 13 to 50?

It may come as some past failure or sin. You have dealt with it when the doctor told you had the “big C” called cancer. It may have come in dealing with a family problem. The film “Paul, Apostle of Christ” deals unflinchingly with persecution in the early church. E...

It was composed in a singular time and place, by a certain author, for a definite reason. If we choose to ignore any of these indicators, we do so at peril of misunderstanding the text before us. However, having said that, we will soon discover that...
