According to Edward Gibbon, in his classic work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, there were five major causes for the decline and fall of the Roman empire. 1. The breakdown of the family and the increase of divorce. 2. The spiraling rise of taxes and extravagant spending. 3. The mounting desire for pleasure and the brutalization of sports. 4. The continual production of armaments to face ever increasing threats of enemy attacks. 5. The decay of religion into many confusing forms, leaving the people without a uniform faith. It is very significant that these factors exist today.

A Message from our Provider:

“Do you only BELIEVE in God? How about loving him!”

Parabole (parable) is a compound word made up of a form of the verb ballo (to throw, lay, or place) and the prefix para (meaning alongside of). The idea is that of placing, or laying, something alongside of something else for the purpose of comparison. A spiritual or moral truth would often be expressed by laying it alongside, so to speak, a physical example that could be more easily understood. A common, observable object or practice was used to illustrate a subjective truth or principle. That which was well known was laid alongside that which was not known or understood in order to explain it. The known elucidated the unknown.
