The Iberian Peninsula is the southwestern tip of Europe including Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar. To the east and southeast is the Mediterranean Sea, and on the north, west and southwest lies the Atlantic Ocean. Iberia is bordered at the northeastern edge by the Pyrenees. The principal cities of the Iberian Peninsula are Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Lisbon and Porto.
The coastline of the Iberian Peninsula is 3,313 km (2,059 mi), 1,660 km (1,030 mi) on the Mediterranean side and 1,653 km (1,027 mi) on the Atlantic side.
The principal urban centers are: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Lisbon and Porto. Various other notable cities with smaller populations are also present on the peninsula.
The Iberian Peninsula has been inhabited for at least 1,000,000 years as remains found in the sites at Atapuerca demonstrate. Among these sites is the cave of Gran Dolina, where six hominin skeletons, dated between 780,000 and one million years ago, were found in 1994. Experts have debated whether these skeletons belong to the species Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, or a new species called Homo antecessor.
Spain offers so much to the tourist – wonderful food, wine, history, art and a fantastic climate. For example, Spain's World Heritage Cities comprise 13 urban destinations whose centres and monuments figure on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The Wine Routes of the Spanish Association of Wine-Producing Towns and Cities (ACEVIN) lead you into the heart and the way of life of some of Spain's oldest wine-growing regions. Visit a winery, find out how wine is made, stay in beautiful wine-growing countryside, enjoy your first tastings, discover the delights of matching food and wine … experiences that will awaken your senses to all the joys that Spain and the wonderful world of wine have to offer.
Portugal offers a 500-year cultural heritage in which, although there is a predominantly Portuguese flavour, other influences are also to be found from the north of Europe, most notably Flanders and Great Britain. In the 16th century Madeira flourished as a result of the sugar trade, giving rise to a life of great magnificence and ostentation, with natural repercussions for the development of an extraordinary heritage of major artistic and architectural value.
There is a great variety to be noted in the museums and exhibitions and a tour of these offers itself as an alternative to the programmes of sports activities and visits to the beach that you may already have chosen.
The natural wealth and built heritage of the town of Sintra and its surroundings led to this entire landscape being classified as World Heritage. The beautiful village, with its pleasant microclimate, was long the favourite location of various Portuguese kings for their palaces.
Just a few kilometres from Sintra, there are two more amazing royal palaces. In Queluz, the summer palace of the royal family and in Mafra, a palace-convent-basilica complex, the largest Portuguese building project of the 18th century.
Madrid, the capital of Spain, located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the center of the Castillian plain 646 meters above sea level, has a population of over three million. A cosmopolitan city, Madrid is characterized by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife.
Barcelona is a hugely popular city thanks to its culture, art, beautiful buildings, great music, and the beach.
Lying along the the north banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon charms with its historical legacy, including magnificent palaces, churches and a castle. Add to that its eclectic neighborhoods and unique architecture and distinctive Fado music, and you can begin to imagine the lure of this city.
Lisbon's collection of museums is remarkable, including ancient and modern collections at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the National Coach Museum, and Carmo Archaeological Museum.
The Mediterranean Region defies description; so rich is it in dramatic history and bewitching scenery.
If the Alps were human, they'd be movie stars: world-famous, beautiful, charming and exciting.
Come along on our overview of the islands of no fewer than 18 European countries.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Peachtree Audio D5 by Kristen Schaub Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers. Audiophile performance for your desktop or home theater sound system Now everyone can be happy: the decorator, the home theater enthusiast, the casual listener, and most of all, the audiophile who never has to trade good looks for sound again. That's because Peachtree Audio's D5 bookshelf speakers dish out highly accurate and surprisingly big sound from gorgeous cabinets that take up very little space. These speakers are ideal for music setups, from a desktop system in your office to a stereo system at home. They're more than dynamic enough for your home theater, too. And as with all Peachtree products, their fit, finish, and fidelity go way beyond what you would expect at this price point. Quality design inside and out Each D5 has a 5-1/4" long-throw woofer and vented voice coil, so bass sounds deep, natural, and strong. A silk dome tweeter lays on the musical detail without pushing it in your face. The result is terrific fidelity at an unbelievable value. Plus, the D5s are constructed from thick MDF, so when you lift one you can feel and see the high level of craftsmanship. The beautiful real-wood veneer cabinets are sanded, smoothed, and hand-polished to bring a touch of elegance to your home or work environment. To really show off your digital music, pair these speakers with one of Peachtree's acclaimed integrated amps, and enjoy audiophile sound direct from your computer. Got wire?

The Peachtree D5 speakers are giant killers. While those words are often overused, this is NOT the case with the D5. I have used these speakers for two years now, and I have sold larger and more expensive speakers only to return to the D5 time and again. Feed these with good electronics and you will be rewarded with large, tight bass, an soundstage that will go wall to wall, and reveal a lot of detail in the recordings, maybe even more than you might like as these are very revealing speakers. I am not kidding when I say these are probably the best speakers I have ever heard under $1000, and I would not think twice about buying these if Peachtree doubled the price. And not only are they an excellent sounding speaker, but the build and appearance is second to none. As I mentioned earlier, the better the electronics are that are used with the D5, the happier the D5 will be. These are speakers that deserve the best electronics you can give them because they will reward you with the best music you will ever hear at a price that is a bargain! Pros: Wonderful bass, expansive soundstage, very revealing of what it is given to play, well built (solid cabinet), attractive appearance, not fussy in its placement Cons: The D5 will be dismissed because of its price but it really needs great electronics to live up to its true potential 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Thank you very much for this useful information.
Thanks for this great information.
Just made this today for my hubby for Father's Day.. It is AMAZING and it was EASY! I have tried other caramel type popcorn recipes and they have all flopped because the caramel (usually with some sort of cream) either burns or doesn't set! This is basically fool-proof, which I need! Very beautiful presentation and delicious! I will use this recipe for any carmel corn I make in the future, snickers or not! Thanks so much`
Thanks guys, for sharing this conductive accumulation.
I'm going to try it this weekend for a graduation party I'm going to for my cousin! I think it will be a big hit with the kiddos there Thanks for sharing!
Do you know how long this stays fresh in an airtight container? Thinking of mailing this to a friend…. Thanks!
Should be good for 5 to 7 days in an airtight container!
Anyone know how many microwave popcorn bags I would need to make this?

UPDATED — The scheduled start of construction on a new terminal at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport is months behind because the bid process for the contract, worth around $100 million, is in dispute.
Dondlinger and Sons is the lowest bidder, but the contract may be awarded to Key Construction instead because the city doesn't think Dondlinger met the requirements for building the terminal.
The planned two-level, 273,000-square-foot terminal – which will feature 12 gates, each with a passenger loading bridge, more efficient passenger and baggage security screening, baggage claim and airline ticketing systems – initially was projected to be done in late 2014 or 2015. Due to the dispute, that's likely to be pushed back.
"We've given the city a couple of ways to get out of this mess, and whether they'll take it or not, we don't know," said Jim Armstrong, one of the Foulston Siefkin attorneys working on behalf of Dondlinger and Hunt Construction Group of Indianapolis.
That's the team that built Intrust Bank Arena.
It bid $99,370,542 for the airport contract.
Key, in partnership with Detroit-based contractor Walbridge, bid $101,500,542.
The Wichita City Council, which will make the final decision on the contract, was updated on the dispute during an executive session Tuesday.
"This is a monstrous decision," City Council member Pete Meitzner said. "It affects the next 50 years of the terminal and our city."
He added: "It is a decision that I am not taking lightly. … It just needs to be fair and the right decision."
Because the terminal will be funded in part through federal grants – airport passenger facility charges and airport revenue will make up the rest – certain requirements must be met in the bids. That includes the stipulation that either 7.11 percent of the contracting business be shared with disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), such as minority-owned firms, or that the bidders show that they made a good-faith effort to reach that percentage.
That's what's at issue in the bidding process. Dondlinger has filed a bid protest, which follows an earlier review of the DBE requirement and a motion to reconsider, both requested by Dondlinger.
"We are firmly convinced that we did more than enough, and frankly that decision-making process is pretty subjective," Armstrong said.
In response to a request for comment, city attorney Gary Rebenstorf issued a statement that said: "That protest is under review according to the City's purchasing policy. The review process is confidential. When the review is completed, the outcome will help determine what happens next."
No one with Key Construction is commenting, but Armstrong said that at the time of the initial bid, neither Key nor Dondlinger reached the 7.11 percent.
Armstrong said the city found that Key made a good-faith effort while Dondlinger did not.
"We don't know how they made that determination," Armstrong said. "From what we have been able to determine, we don't think that's a correct decision."
Armstrong said when Dondlinger made its bid, two of its DBE contractors hadn't yet been certified by the Kansas Department of Transportation, but they have now. He said that puts Dondlinger over the 7.11 percent.
"We're just at a loss to explain why this has happened, to be honest with you," Armstrong said, "because Dondlinger has been involved with the minority business community for years and has always actively participated."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (March 2, 2012) — The 73rd running of the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup and the American Oaks, which was increased from $250,000 to $400,000, headline a stakes schedule worth more than $6.8 million for the 2012 Spring/Summer meet at Hollywood Park.
The 50-day season begins Thursday, April 26 and continues through Sunday, July 15.
A Grade I at 1 ¼ miles over Cushion Track, the Gold Cup, which was won a year ago by First Dude in thrilling fashion over stablemate Game On Dude and favored Twirling Candy, will be run Saturday, July 7, and is part of a stakes doubleheader. The card will also feature the $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile, a Grade II for older fillies and mares on turf.
The American Oaks, which featured a historic dead heat between Cambina and Nereid for its 10th anniversary in 2011, will be contested Saturday, July 14 and is the last of seven Grade I's during the meet.
An invitational for 3-year-old fillies at 1 ¼ miles on turf, the American Oaks anchors a program that also includes the $200,000 A Gleam Handicap for older females at seven furlongs and the $200,000 Landaluce Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs.
The Landaluce is one of four stakes races for 2-year-olds that have increased purses.
A Grade III at six furlongs, the Hollywood Juvenile Championship, which will be run Saturday, July 14, has, similarly to the Landaluce, doubled to $200,000. The Willard L. Proctor Memorial and Cinderella have gone from $70,000-added to $100,000. The Proctor and Cinderella are scheduled for Saturday, June 16.
"With the increase to $400,000, the American Oaks is one of the top races in the country for 3-year-old turf fillies and we believe it will attract a quality field,'' said Martin Panza, Hollywood Park's racing secretary and vice president-racing. "There's no doubt 2-year-olds play an important role in the Spring/Summer meet, so the larger purses for the Willard Proctor, Cinderella, Landaluce and Hollywood Juvenile Championship is a way to try and reward the owners and trainers that do participate during the season.''
A Grade I on turf, the $300,000 Shoemaker Mile, will be run Saturday, June 30, along with the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap, a Grade I at seven furlongs.
For the first time, the Grade II Swaps Stakes will be offered on the 4th of July. The 1 18 mile race for 3-year-olds, which has a purse of $150,000, is the main attraction of the special Wednesday holiday card.
The Hollywood Gold Cup and American Oaks programs are among nine multiple stakes days at the meeting. The first is Gold Rush XIII. The annual showcase for California breds will be held Saturday, April 28.
Run at 1/18 miles, the $300,000 Snow Chief Stakes and the $300,000 Melair Stakes are the main Gold Rush events. The Snow Chief, which is for 3-year-olds, was worth $150,000 in 2011 while the Melair, which is for 3-year-old fillies, had a $125,000 purse a year ago. The other notable Gold Rush stakes are the $125,000 B. Thoughtful and $125,000 Tiznow.
In addition to the simulcast of the Kentucky Derby, Saturday, May 5 will feature the $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap, the $100,000 Senorita Stakes and the $70,000-added Cool Frenchy Stakes. The LeRoy, a Grade II at 1 1/16 miles, is the first prep for the Gold Cup.
Along with the simulcast of the Belmont Stakes, the primary race Saturday, June 9 is the $250,000 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap, a Grade I at 1 ¼ miles on turf. There will be two other stakes that afternoon – the $150,000 Honeymoon Handicap and the $70,000-added Manhattan Beach.
A Grade II at 1 1/8 miles, the $150,000 Californian, which was taken by Crown of Thorns in 2011, will be run Saturday, June 2.
The Vanity, which has been won the last four years by either Zenyatta or Blind Luck, will be run Saturday, June 16. A Grade I at 1 1/8 miles, the Vanity has a purse of $250,000.
For a second consecutive year, the Gold Cup, Shoemaker Mile and A Gleam are "Breeders' Cup Win and You're In'' races. The winners of those events will earn a spot in the corresponding Breeders' Cup race. For instance, the Gold Cup winner would qualify for the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, which will be run Nov. 3 at Santa Anita.
The stakes schedule commences April 26 with the $70,000-added Harry Henson Stakes. Named in honor of the legendary track announcer who worked at Hollywood Park from 1958-1982, the Henson is for 3-year-olds at six furlongs on turf.
Headlining the first Friday night program of the meet April 27 is the $100,000 Inglewood Handicap. A Grade III on turf, the Inglewood has been lengthened from 1 1/16 miles to 1 1/8 miles in 2012.

We thought you could use some inspiration on how to spend your winter months waiting for it to warm up for the Foam Fest! The word extreme may not mean as much these days but we can guarantee you that you will have a blast even just watching these videos. These are just 4 winter extreme sports but we are sure we could add at least a dozen more!
#1- Snow Kayaking
Equipped with a paddle, craft and helmet, snow kayakers take to some of the steepest slopes in the world to see what it would be like if the whitewater rapids they traverse in the spring, summer and fall were frozen over and coated with several feet of snow. Interested in having a go? No special equipment is required and paddles are still used to steer, but beware: mixing waxed-up kayaks with snow and ice results in some seriously fast cruising. The potential for injury is high, so start off on hills to get your bearings before taking the plunge on rock-laden trails.
#2 Shovel Racing
Did you know that they used to have this in the winter X games. It made a television debut in 1997 but when there was a racer that suffered a broken sternum, bruised heart and a fractured pelvis they decided to not have it on the x games again. The hot bed for your shovel racing adventure can be found at Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico. Spandex is not required but if you have we recommend you use it!
#3 Speed Flying
Born in France this is one wicked way to do your skiing. Can you imagine looking for the cliffs because you know you could sail off of them!? This is in the same league as skydiving and BASE jumping and be careful because this is risky business. The sport is taking off in Switzerland and Austria with Italy and Germany catching up. So if you are near any mountains check out to see if you have a Speed Flying club nearby so that you can at least talk to the pros to see if its something that you want to try out. Otherwise you can find a score more of videos and live the extreme life through your screen and live to see another day.
#4 – Ice Cross Downhill
Crashed Ice (Red Bull Crashed Ice) is a world tour in the winter extreme sporting event, ice cross downhill (or downhill ice cross), which involves downhill skating in an urban environment, on a track which includes steep turns and high vertical drops. It is sponsored by Red Bull. It is similar to ski cross and snowboard cross, except with ice skates on an ice track, instead of skis or snowboards on a snow track. February is your month Minnesota so get ready!

Rated 5 out of 5�by HappyRetiree2014 Perfect choice! I purchased the Graber Magnetic Resistance Trainer to bike indoors in the cooler/colder north where we live. Product arrived a few days after ordering, as promised. Well packaged. Easy setup. Purchased the CycleOps Climbing Bike Riser Block for use on the front tire for added stability when using my Graber Magnetic Resistance Trainer on my 1998Trek Hybrid bike. I couldn't be happier with the whole setup! They were the perfect choice for me. Not only would I say that I would recommend this product, I ALREADY HAVE told my friends and family about both products. Thanks, Dick's, for carrying these two quality products. August 30, 2014

That's about the right amount for general admin. MINUS CAMPING OF COURSE.
Probably won't cover the gas to get there from your hotel, may have to bike and refill a $2 water bottle all day at the hose
and the hose water is laced with horse shit
Perhaps you are the one that has changed. Either that or you're doing it wrong. Coachella is different every year and has a thousand different combos that YOU get to decide upon. If you can't have a good time at Coachella then I feel sorry for you.
I personally feel it started going downhill when people started calling it Coachella Fest.
so Coachella Fest went down hill back in the early 2000's?
I thought it started going down hill when people from LA starting wearing cowboy hats.
*relax people, it's still a pretty good festival but not what it was
Are all people from the Coachella Valley this backwards, inbred and ignorant?
I can get into my mercurial opinions on why that may be, but I'll wait and see if I'm going to chella 13 first, and if so, just go and try to have the best time I can. If certain '12 traits continue and/or grow it will have been a great run, and I'll leave the desert playpen for the next group of kids.
I'm sure there are real Coachella OGs that will say it all went down hill with 04; that's just the nature of the game

The Wonder of God's Plan
Do you sometimes wonder whether or not things are right in the world? In observing all the evil and suffering around us, do you sometimes ask if there is something wrong with the human condition? For centuries various philosophies and religions have attempted to answer these and other questions, often coming to very different conclusions.
While we don't have the space to explore every worldview or belief system in detail , a summary of some key perspectives will help us set the stage for the message of Christianity, God's plan and its personal relevance to everyone.
What Other Worldviews Offer
Atheism claims that there is no God. Everything is a product of chance and time--even people. Only the material world exists. Good and evil are subjective and, in the end, there is no overarching purpose or design to life or history.
Pantheism holds that everything is divine. "God" is an impersonal force that permeates everything, even rocks. In this view, good and evil are really the same, human beings are divine and our problem has to do with enlightenment not sin.
Deism states that God exists, but is removed from the day-to-day activities of His creation. Like a watchmaker, He made and wound up the universe but has now left it on its own. The god of deism has no interest in performing miracles, intervening in human affairs or in offering love or redemption.
There are other worldviews, too, including variations of each of the above, but atheism, pantheism and deism will suffice as brief examples of key differences in worldviews and the approach to the situation we find ourselves in.
Theism and Christianity
In contrast to atheism, pantheism and deism, theism holds that a personal God exists. He created the universe and is not part of it, but is active in it. Christian theism adds a key component of belief in the person of Christ (Jesus).
The central message of Christianity is in one sense quite simple. It is the straightforward story of a world gone wrong and set right by God. But in another sense the message is complex, touching many topics including origins, human nature, the existence of God, suffering, redemption and more.
Our Situation
Christianity outlines God's plan for His world. It is the story of creation, fall, redemption and restoration. Creation refers to God as Creator. He made the universe and all that is in it. The first words of the Bible echo this reality: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1, NIV).
Originally, all that God made was good, including human beings. Our relationship with God functioned as He intended it to function – in harmony. But after what Christians term the Fall, some things went very wrong, breaking our relationship with God and resulting in a threefold strife between us and God, between one another and within ourselves.
Our primary problem, then, is separation from God. This separation and what it has done to our nature results in the other two problems – our relationships with others and our internal struggles.
But there's more to the situation. Not only are we separated from God, resulting in strife with others and within ourselves, in a significant sense our very nature is polluted, causing us to behave in ways that go against God's standards of holiness. This does not mean that everything we do is filled with evil and depravity, but that our nature is now corrupted – a fallen and broken shadow of what it once was. In a sense, it is as though we were meant to be kings and queens, but are now deposed royalty, kicked out of our true kingdom.
We still bear some marks of our former selves including retaining some of the glory God made us with, imagination, creativity, intelligence and more. But something significant is missing. An emptiness is in everyone. Blaise Pascal remarked that "this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself," while Augustine wrote, "our hearts find no peace until they rest" in God.. This brings us to God's solution to our predicament.
God's Solution
What is the solution to our problems? Christianity argues that it is personal transformation. To use more technical terminology, we are in need of redemption and regeneration that can come about only through conversion through a relationship with Christ based on an understanding of what He has done for us. But what does all this mean?
Redemption has to do with restoring our relationship with God, not by our efforts, but by our faith in what Christ has done for us. Regeneration is the new birth Christians experience as a result of repentance – turning away from wrong behavior in our lives and instead turning to Christ in sincere humility. Conversion encompasses repentance, resulting in our new birth and the restoration of our relationship with God.
Our "relationship with Christ" is key in that it is relational and personal, but it has a basis in the reality of what Christ has done for us via His death and resurrection (the Atonement).
The Wonder of God's Plan
The wonder of God's plan is that He has reached out to us in love, offering everyone an opportunity to personally respond through Christ. He offers His unmerited favor, or grace, if we will only accept it. We can't earn it ourselves or find some loophole that will allow us to restore our relationship with God on our own or through other means. The only way is through the cross of Christ (John 14:6).
Other worldviews fail to correctly address our primary problem – our broken relationship with God – and the solution. Atheism denies God's existence, leaving us with an ultimately meaningless existence without moral standards. Pantheism denies the reality of good and evil, arguing that we are really god and all we truly need is enlightenment. Deism leaves us with the despair of atheism in that God may as well be dead or nonexistent because he is not involved personally in his creation. None of these worldviews solve our primary problems and needs. Christianity, on the other hand, offers an accurate diagnosis and remedy to our condition.
As you can see, the message of Christianity is in one sense simple – the straightforward story of a world gone wrong and set right by God – but in another sense complex.
The remainder of this series of articles will explore in more detail our condition and need, what Christ has done for us, first steps in the Christian life and helpful suggestions for finding the "right" church.For more information or reading materials, call 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).

He studied philosophy of religion and apologetics at Denver Seminary and is pursuing graduate studies in philosophy at Southern Evangelical Seminary.
Someone once asked the great philosopher Plato, "What is man?" He replied, "Man is a featherless biped," (an animal with two feet) demonstrating that the renowned Greek thinker had a sense of humor. The answer doesn't really tell us what man is in any substantial sense, leading one of his rivals at the time to show up at lectures holding a plucked chicken in order to make fun of Plato's definition.
But the question is important. It is only through understanding who we are that we can come to understand what we may become through God's plan. Are human beings basically good or is there something wrong with us? Do we naturally seek after God and His moral goodness or do we tend to desire to do our own thing on our own terms? The first article in this series provided an overview of God's outline of history in creation, fall, redemption and restoration. This article will emphasize the human condition and need.
Defining Sin and its Extent
Before we can begin to restore our relationship with God, we need to understand that this relationship is broken to begin with and why that is the case. The relationship is broken not because of anything God has done, but because of what we have done. We have turned away from God's standards and made our own path.
Sin is a key concept in Christianity, but it's also that negative word no one likes to talk about. We prefer to be positive, to think that people are basically good. But Christianity claims that sin has a hold on everyone. Before we get ahead of ourselves, though, let's take a moment to define sin.
Sin involves any deviation from God's perfect standard of holiness. This can be the result of our thoughts, our behavior or in what we say. Christ emphasized the importance of being internally moral, not just externally moral. That's why he provided His listeners with examples such as, "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). [1]
Our sinful behavior harms others, harms us and, more importantly, is an affront to a holy God. This is not God's way of taking all the fun out of life. Rather, if we were designed to function best a certain way – living in harmony with God – then the best thing for us is to restore our broken relationship with God and enjoy life within the parameters He has established.
As a result of sin, we reject God and instead put ourselves in His place. This means that sin is not only the fact of our separation from God, but also involves our willful disobedience.
But what is the extent of sin? According to the Bible, sin is universal. As a whole we are fallen and sinful, but we are also fallen and sinful individually. As Paul explained, "As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one'" (Romans 3:10-12).
The Word Became Flesh
If human nature is so corrupt, then how can any of us restore our relationship with God? The truth is, on our own we can't (Ephesians 2:8-9). While God has revealed Himself to us in a general sense in nature and moral conscience (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:20; 2:14-15), this is not enough to restore our relationship. That's why God provided the Bible for us – His special revelation – and did something else amazing: "The Word [Christ] became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood" (John 1:14, The Message). This is the story of God the Son – Jesus Christ – being born as a human, fully God yet fully man, in order to grow up and suffer and die for us on a cross, but miraculously come to life again, forming one of the cornerstones of Christian belief – the Resurrection. It is only through God's grace that any of us can restore our relationship with our Creator.
Christ and the Good News
But Christ's death and resurrection do not automatically accomplish a restored relationship between us and God. We must respond personally, sincerely and with a commitment to turn away from our sin (repent), acknowledging that only Christ can save us from our fallen condition.
The gospel or "good news" is that Christ has died for us, meaning that we can ask for His forgiveness and receive it. There is no magic in this request or exact ritual we must follow. It is simply a matter of turning to God through Christ and, through prayer, confessing that we have fallen short of His standards, expressing our desire to have Christ direct our lives for His glory, not ours. [2]
What About Faith and Reason?
But how do faith and reason relate to being a Christian? What if you have a hard time accepting the claims of Christ and Christianity? Fortunately, Christianity has a history, rooted in the Bible, for thinking through tough questions.
It's not true that Christians must abandon reason in order to embrace faith. Christianity encourages the life of the mind (see, for instance, Matthew 22:37), with Paul noting that Christian beliefs are "true and reasonable" (Acts 26:25). Faith and reason complement one another rather than compete with one another. Christians are not called to blind faith or a leap of faith. Instead, our faith has a firm foundation in a variety of evidences such as the historical evidence for the Resurrection, the reliability of the New Testament documents, validity in historical findings, logical consistency and more.
When compared with other worldviews, Christianity offers the best explanation of reality. Atheism and secular humanism deny the existence of God, meaning that there is nothing essentially wrong with our condition as it is – we're merely the product of chance and time, anyway, so we can just do the best we can as the reasoning animals we are. Pantheism, the view that everything is divine, generally claims that human beings are basically good. Our problem in pantheism is that we need spiritual liberation through enlightenment. Once we realize we are divine, then we will understand that there really is no distinction between good and evil. In deism, God has created and wound up the universe like a watch, but is now gone, leaving us on our own.
But in Christianity it is God who reaches out to us, seeking to throw us a lifeline if we will only respond to His help.
Featherless Bipeds or Glorious Creatures?
Fortunately, human beings are much more than featherless bipeds, as Plato quipped. We are glorious creatures, made in God's image, but we are also fallen, broken and in need of salvation. If you are ready to receive Christ and follow Him, we encourage you to do so. Maybe you are uncertain or have further questions. If so, please feel free to contact Focus on the Family or a reputable evangelism ministry such as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association ( www.billygraham.org ).
In the next article we'll focus on "What Christ Did for Us," further exploring God's plan, specifically in relation to the work of Christ, the meaning of his death and resurrection, and more.For more information or reading materials, call 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).

He studied philosophy of religion and apologetics at Denver Seminary and is pursuing graduate studies in philosophy at Southern Evangelical Seminary.[1] Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations are from the New International Version of the Bible.
[2] "Steps to Peace with God," by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, presents the gospel message clearly and simply, outlining "God's Purpose," "The Problem," "God's Bridge," and "Our Response."
The story of Christianity is naturally connected to the story of Christ. God's plan of redemption is revealed in what Christ did for us. Known as the atonement, what Christ did for us provides the only way to resolve our broken relationship with God.
But before we get to that, let's spend some time looking at who Christ is, His unique claims, and the reliability of the New Testament.
Who is Christ?
Christ is not actually a name, but a title. The Old Testament set the groundwork for a coming Messiah and "Christ" is the Greek translation of this word, meaning, "anointed one." The Hebrews looked forward to the coming of the Messiah. Jesus Christ is a name combined with a title. He is Jesus the Messiah – the fulfillment of Old Testament expectations and the key to God's plan to restore our broken relationship with Him.
The Claims of Christ
The question, "Who is Christ?" is significant. Even Christ asked his followers, "Who do you say I am?" (Matthew 16:15, Mark 8:29, Luke 9:20). [1] This question is still relevant to day, especially in light of the claims of Jesus.
Jesus made many extraordinary claims, leaving His listeners with very few options regarding His nature. For instance, He equated Himself with God – something even His contemporary critics understood. In John 10:32-33, we read the following: "Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' 'We are not stoning you for any of these,' replied the Jews, 'but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.'"
Earlier, in John 8:58, Jesus equated Himself with God, the "I AM" of the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14) when He said, "I tell you the truth … before Abraham was born, I am!" Again, His contemporaries understood what Jesus was suggesting and in the very next verse "they picked up stones to stone him."
Jesus also claimed the ability to forgive sins. In Mark 2:5, for example, Christ says, "Your sins are forgiven." In Mark 2:7 His critics said, "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
Christ also accepted worship – something reserved for God alone, particularly considering His Jewish background and cultural setting. Examples of Jesus accepting worship are found in Matthew 28:9, John 9:38, and more.
Was Jesus merely a man? Was He insane? C.S. Lewis answered these questions best when he wrote, "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic … or else He would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse …" [2]
The New Testament
The New Testament records that Jesus equated Himself with God, that His critics understood this, that He claimed to forgive sins, and that He received worship. He also said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
These are impressive claims. But how do we know that the New Testament record of Jesus is accurate?
As has often been stated, the New Testament documents are the most well attested of ancient history. These documents contain the four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – that provide the most information about Christ, His life, His ministry and so forth. There are more than 5,000 copies of the New Testament in existence and multiple thousands of fragments or portions of the New Testament.
Claims that the New Testament documents have been changed over time and with translation are simply not true, especially when one compares existing documents over the course of history (a field of study known as textual criticism). While there is room for slight variations in wording and minor copyist errors known as variants, none of these impact essential areas of Christian belief and are, in fact, inconsequential when it comes to Christ and His claims. [3]
In short, the New Testament documents are accurate. In addition, the period of time between the time of Christ and the writing of some early New Testament documents is short by historical standards. For instance, 1 Corinthians was written by the Apostle Paul in 55 A.D., about 22 years or so after the events recorded in the Gospels. This means that there was no time for legends to develop about Christ. It also means that many people who were alive at the time of Christ were still alive when much of the New Testament was written.
Moreover, 1 Corinthians contains passages that present the basic principles of the Gospel such as 1 Corinthians 15:1-8: "Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living …"
Paul goes on to write about the cornerstone of Christianity – belief in the resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:12-20).
The Atonement
The Atonement is what Christ did for us through His death and resurrection. While there are several Christian approaches to the finer details of exactly how the Atonement restores our broken relationship with God, all agree that the Atonement involves God providing us with an opportunity to restore our broken relationship with Him through Christ as a result of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
John 3:16 is often quoted, but this does not diminish the fact that it contains the essential elements of God's plan and the atonement: "For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
God has reached out to us. Christ has died for us. Christ lives again for us. We need only accept God's grace humbly through Christ, turn away from the wrongs we have done, and receive Christ as our Lord and Savior. Then we are ready for the first steps in the Christian life.
The next in this series deals wit the the first steps in living for Christ.For more information or reading materials, call 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).

The life of a new Christian is both exciting and daunting. As a former atheist, my early experiences as a Christian were filled with opportunities and challenges. What do I do now? I wondered. Should I attend church? Where should I go? Who should I tell? What if I have doubts? How often should I pray and read the Bible?
This article will offer guidance to help new believers navigate their first steps in the Christian life, but the insights offered here are also helpful to established Christians as reminders of what the Christian life is about.
Where did you come from and where are you going?
If you are new to Christianity, there's a good chance you're an adult or young adult. This means you obviously came from somewhere in reference to your ideas, background, beliefs, and habits. Maybe you have come to Christ after involvement in another religion or philosophy. Or perhaps you were raised in a Christian home, drifted away from beliefs you were brought up with and have now committed your life to Christ.
Of course, there's no way for this article to anticipate every aspect of your background and what brought you to Christ and Christianity. But it's important for you to keep in mind where you have come from because your past may influence your present life in Christ.
As a new Christian you may find yourself somewhat confused as to what your next steps should be. While there is a general route you may follow, such as gathering regularly with fellow Christians, there is no exact plan spelled out in the Bible regarding your next steps. God does have a plan for you and your life, but it is something you will discover as you grow as a Christian and mature in your relationship with Christ.
Emotion: Too Much or Not Enough?
One area where you may be confused is in reference to emotions in relation to Christianity. Maybe when you became a Christian you went through a very emotional experience. But now that your life has settled down you're wondering where this emotional experience has gone. Or perhaps you are experiencing the opposite – your commitment to Christ may not have been emotional at all, or at least not very much so.
Don't worry. Christians come to Christ in all sorts of ways. Some are highly emotional experiences, others are not. C.S. Lewis, for instance, one of the great Christian thinkers of the 20th century, described his conversion more like someone who had been asleep realizing he is awake, but not in any extraordinary emotional sense.
In fact, as a Christian you will have your ups and downs. It's important that you do not base the reality of your relationship with Christ or what He has done for you on your feelings. Your feelings will fluctuate from day to day, but the foundation of your beliefs should not. If you have a solid foundation in Christ and Christianity, that foundation rooted in a real relationship with Christ is what will support your Christian life.
Always Learning
Some people are "always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth" (2 Timothy 3:7, NIV).[1] Being a Christian is in many respects a lifelong education, but unlike some who are always learning but unable to acknowledge the truth, you have a foundation in truth (Christ). There will be much to learn throughout your Christian life, just be careful not to try and absorb too much information at once.
One area you will want to learn more about has to do with the Bible. You may have heard many myths about the Bible and maybe you're not all that familiar with it. This article can only provide you with brief information about the Bible and what it teaches, but if you want to learn more you can try a few helpful resources.
First, the book From God to Us by Norman Geisler and William Nix (Moody Publishers) will provide you with some helpful general information about the Bible. Second, the book The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? by F.F. Bruce (InterVarsity Press) offers a short and helpful summary of the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament, where the story of Jesus and the early Church is recorded. Third, Basic Christianity by John Stott (InterVarsity Press) provides a brief overview of essential Christian beliefs.
The Holy Bible
The Holy Bible is actually a collection of many books written by several authors inspired by God over a period spanning some 1,500 years or so. The Old Testament contains books written before the time of Christ, while the New Testament contains documents about the life of Christ and the early Church. The Gospels include Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These four books contain accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. John is a good place for a new Christian to become introduced to Christ and His message.
Next you will find the book of Acts, which records many exciting and challenging events in the life of the early Christians and the early Church. It introduces a key individual known as Paul, who went on to become one of the most important Christians in the early church.
Following Acts you will encounter a number of epistles, or letters, from various individuals writing to other Christians. These are highly practical letters, emphasizing the Christian life. James is a good epistle to read for practical insights into the Christian life.
The last book in the New Testament is Revelation, a work of apocalyptic literature that contains many images and predictions (prophecies). Although it tends to get a lot of attention in popular books and discussions, Revelation is generally not the best place for a new Christian to begin studies. This is not because it is not useful or helpful, but because approaching it and being able to make helpful sense out of it requires a fairly broad background in Bible history and other passages that it references. Revelation also provides wonderful imagery of a future time when Christ will return and evil will ultimately be overcome.
Doubts and Challenges
Most likely you will have a number of questions about Christianity. Don't be discouraged if you do, but do your best to get your questions answered. There are a number of resources available addressing questions about the Bible, other religions, other philosophies or worldviews.. The field of defending Christianity is called apologetics, so you might want to learn more in that area, especially if you have many questions.
Christianity is not a belief system that discourages questions or the life of the mind. All truth is God's truth, as has been said, and if Christianity is true as we believe it to be, then any reasonable question should have reasonable answers.
In fact, 1 Peter 3:15 calls every Christian to, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." As a new Christian you can't be expected to have answers to everything about Christianity, but you can begin to learn more about the faith so you know why you believe what you believe.
What Now?
It's important that you begin to gather with other Christians regularly. You'll want to find a solid Christian church that you can attend regularly, as well as a stable small group where you can meet with other Christians. You'll also want to make sure you take time to pray and read the Bible regularly. Once you find a good church, a pastor will offer guidance as to how you can go about maturing in your faith.
As was said at the beginning of this article, the Christian life is both exciting and daunting. Growing in your faith is important, but you can't do it alone. Read the next article in this series for suggestions on finding the "right" church for you.For more information or reading materials, call 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).
Robert Velarde is author of Conversations with C.S. Lewis (InterVarsity Press), The Heart of Narnia (NavPress), and Inside The Screwtape Letters (Baker Books). He studied philosophy of religion and apologetics at Denver Seminary and is pursuing graduate studies in philosophy at Southern Evangelical Seminary.[1] All Scripture quotations are from the New International Version of the Bible.
Hebrews 10:24-25 reads, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another …" (NIV) [1] Although the word "church" is not in the verses quoted, the context of the passage indicates the writer is indeed making a reference to church.
In the early days of Christianity, believers met in homes. The Greek word used to describe these meetings is ekklesia, which, when used of the church, simply means to assemble, meet, gather together or congregate (from which we get the word congregation).
Today the landscape of Christian churches has changed dramatically. For Christians in the United States, for instance, there are literally hundreds of Christian denominations and traditions to choose from, with some cities home to numerous Christian churches.
While the Hebrews passage above reminds Christians to make sure they gather together regularly, new Christians and even longtime believers may find themselves confused about finding the "right" church. This article will offer some helpful suggestions for choosing a Christian church.
What is the Church?
Before we get into specific suggestions for finding a church, it will help to look at two common Christian distinctions of the word. The Christian church is both visible (local) and invisible (universal). The visible church consists of physical gatherings, usually in church buildings, while the invisible church consists of Christians throughout the ages. The invisible or universal church is one, while visible local churches are many.
Every Christian is a member of the universal church because by definition Christians are believers in Christ. Therefore, they are members of His body – the church. The Bible, in fact, offers a number of images of the church such as calling it the "body of Christ": "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27). The church is also called "the people of God" (Hebrews 4:9; 1 Peter 2:10). Christ is the head of the church (Ephesians 4:15; 5:23).
While the visible and local church consists of organizations or institutions, the invisible and universal church consists of all Christians united under Christ.
The Purposes of the Church
God's church has many purposes such as evangelism, edification, worship and social concern. [2] To evangelize means to tell others the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ and what He has done. Matthew 28:19 provides the mandate to spread the gospel. This means that every church needs to be involved in some form of evangelism, reaching out to non-Christians with the truth of Christ.
The church is also to edify Christians. To edify means to build up, equip, improve, encourage or support. Gathering together with other believers, as in attending church, is one important way to be edified as a Christian. We can also be edified by teachings in a sermon, Bible study or small group. There are other ways the church provides edification, but the point is that another purpose or role of the church is to edify.
Worship is also a key function of the church. It is where we gather with other Christians and worship God. This does not mean that a church building is the only place we can worship (it's not), but it is something the church is to do regularly. Although different Christian churches have different forms of worship styles or music, the purpose is to worship God, not to entertain or amuse the congregation.
Another purpose of the church is social concern. This means we are not just to gather together on an intellectual level, spend all our time in worship or evangelize without humanitarian concern. While evangelism, edification, and worship are important in the life of any church, it's also important to go out into the world and do something positive to help others just as Christ called us to do (see, for instance, Matthew 25:35-36). Social concern was a key part of the early Christian church and has continued to be a central component of Christianity.
Can You Find the "Right" Church?
Keeping in mind the purposes of the church, we're now ready to get into some specifics about finding a church. What church should you attend? Sometimes Christians spend a lot of time trying to find just the "right" church. Unfortunately, this method is rarely successful. Instead of concentrating on finding the "right" church for you, concentrate on finding a church that honors God's truths as expressed in the Bible and throughout the history of the church.
One thing to keep in mind is what a particular church believes and teaches. We might call this "doctrine." While Christian traditions have room for a variety of expressions of church and worship, for instance, all Christian churches throughout the centuries adhere to a core of essential beliefs about God, Christ, humanity, salvation, etc.[3]
Robert M. Bowman, Jr., offers five helpful tips for, "Checking Out a Church's Teaching" [4]:
1. Have a clear idea of what kind of teaching you want. Christianity consists of numerous denominations and some primary traditions. Knowing what you are looking for is important.
Although Christians are united on essentials such as the deity of Christ and His bodily resurrection, there is a lot of room for diversity on secondary issues, meaning differing approaches and interpretations of Bible prophecy, varying means of baptism, differences regarding the details of the observation of communion, etc. There are also varying forms of church government such as episcopal, presbyterian and congregational.
2. Inquire about religious affiliations. Is the church you are considering part of a denomination? Is it independent and self-governing? Is it associated with any particular organizations? Asking these kinds of questions may help you learn more about the church you are considering.
3. Ask for a doctrinal statement. This may also be called a statement of faith. In short, a doctrinal statement should list essentials that the church believes.
4. Find out who founded the church or denomination, and who its leaders are today. Again, learning this information may help you better understand where the church you are considering is coming from, as well as where they are.
5. Consult standard reference works. If you are considering a particular denomination, you should check out their Web site, both for the denomination and, if they have one, the specific church you have in mind. You can also try books such as Handbook of Denominations in the United States by Frank Mead (Abingdon) and Pocket Dictionary of North American Denominations (InterVarsity Press).
The Perfect Church?
Haven't you found the perfect church? You won't. Every visible and local church consists of a mixture of members, all of whom are flawed to one extent or another. Even though you will not find a perfect church, do your best to find a solid church that honors the Bible and the essential beliefs of Christianity. As you search for a church, remember to pray for God's guidance, too.For more information or reading materials, call 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).

No one believes that a disease as complicated as Alzheimer's can be warded off by an apple a day or by faithfully hitting the weight room. But a breakthrough study presented Sunday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference shows that after just two years, people who underwent lifestyle interventions showed improvements in their mental functions, including in memory, executive function and speed tests of their cognitive skills.
In a groundbreaking study that looked at how diet, exercise and other non-drug interventions affect cognitive decline, researchers see some hope for relatively easy dementia-fighting strategies
