Even after all these centuries, Thomas Boston's teaching about repentance is still very relevant to these times where "repentance" is not taken seriously and rarely practiced wholeheartedly - even by those who consider themselves "Christians." Even if you have prayed "The Sinner's Prayer" in the past, you may not truly have fully understood what true repentance is about - or even lost your way - carelessly or intentionally. This is especially the case if you are still in sin and bondages that you have not overcome. I highly urge everyone to carefully and wholeheartedly read the following with a sincere heart to believe and obey God in what He says through His beloved preacher Thomas Boston.Don't let this be merely a literary or historical read for you. Sincerely take it to heart and apply it to your soul and life. Cry out to God to finally free you from the sins that have held you in bondage. Truly being in Christ means truly being free of all sin. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise and so deceive you about this.

American imperialism in Latin America at the beginning of the twentieth century has been explained, in part, as a response to the threat posed by Germany in the region. But, as Nancy Mitchell demonstrates, the German actions that raised American hackles t

From the 1880s to the 1980s more than eight thousand workers died in the coal mines of the Rocky Mountain states. Sometimes they died by the dozens in fiery explosions, but more often they died alone, crushed by collapsing roofs or runaway mine cars. Many old-timers in coal-mining communities and even some historians haveøblamed the high fatality rate on ruthless coal barons exploiting miners in the single-minded pursuit of profit. The coal industry preferred to blame careless miners. James Whiteside looks beyond those charges in seeking to explain why the western coal mines were (and, to some degree, still are) dangerous and why territorial, state, and federal laws failed for so long to make them safer. Regulating Danger is the first extended study of the coal-mining industry in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. It exceeds the scope of traditional labor history in focusing on working conditions and the problems of workers instead of unions and strikes. After examining the inherent physical dangers of the work, Whiteside shows how the interplay of economic, social, and technological forces created an envi-ronment of death in the western coal mines. He goes on to discuss evolving industrial and political attitudes toward issues of responsibility for mine safety and government regulation and the fundamental changes in the industry that brought about safer working conditions.
