CES 2018 has come to an end but the hype it has created in the world of electric cars is just starting to spread. One of the most anticipated unveilings of this week was the debut of the new Fisker EMotion, a 4 door luxury sedan with 400 mile range and the exotic suicide butterfly doors.

In my interview with Mr. Fisker he has explained to...

Have you ever wondered why you crave chocolate when you get stressed out? Research justifies our cravings and provides healthier ways to get our chocolate fix. Chocolate Makes Us HappyIt’s not all in your head. Well, actually it is, but in a literal sense. Physically, the consumption of chocolate does make you happy by stimulating the release of dopamine in your brain. This neurotransmitter has been called “the happy hormone”. Chocolate also stimulates the release of serotonin, a hormone that has a calming effect on the mind and body. The limbic system is the part of the brain responsible for...

Because the battery is not powerful enough, a Tesla Model S doesn't provide the power that the manufacturer promised. This annoys the buyers of the electric car in Norway, who want to have compensation from Tesla. They think Tesla has promised too much. According to a number of Norwegian Model S owners, who complained about Tesla, the car does not have the power specified and promised by Tesla. In it, the motorists see misleading advertising and demand compensation. We are talking about Model S P85D vehicles that were delivered in 2015. Tesla had offered the model S P85D with an...

When people fail in doing good and make bad choices some of them feel shame, others try to cover it and hide the shame. Those who hide it, promise to make an effort not to do it again. The promise of a moral effort is a good thing, but is it enough? But how can you say that you will try harder if you do not fill any remorse or repentance for the wrong you have done? See what Father Stephen Freeman writes in this article titled "When Words Fail." The promise to try harder, to work more, to be...

A highly moral person can be a holy devil. It is very dangerous to see yourself as highly moral person. You may not think it that way, but let's look at the difference between morality and spirituality. What is MoralityMorality is what's in the outside of a human being. Everyone sees it. I am not killing, I am not stealing, I respect people, work heard and am well educated. I am a highly moral person. And let anyone dare to tell me that I am not a moral good person. This is our image of a highly moral person. Isn't...

Sometimes sorrow clouds your heart and you don't know where it comes from. It seems that everything is in place: house is OK, everything is good in the family or relatives, the job situation is fine, health is good, but a certain type of unknown sorrow clouds your heart. What is it? (Also see: What Should You Ask in Your Prayers) Apostle Paul in his 2nd letter to Corinthians talks about two types of sorrows. They are: Godly SorrowWorldly Sorrow Godly sorrow is a good one. It is useful and leads to repentance. Godly sorrow clouds your heart and nourishes...

The wisdom comes from the Lord. He is the one, who gives people true wisdom. No matter how many books you read or how many universities you graduate from if your wisdom is not given from the Lord then you will just have education without wisdom. You will make wrong decisions for your life. How To Receive Wisdom From The LordLook for it as for silver. The second chapter of the book of Proverb calls us to call out for insight, cry aloud for understanding and look for it as for silver. Change Your View on WisdomWisdom is not something...

We don't like to be verbally insulted, but insulting others is not a good thing either. Which of these is preferable if no choice? Here is what we keep when we are verbally insulted and what we lose when we insult others. In reality none of these are good. No one should be insulted, nor should we insult anyone. However, we also know that insulting someone or being insulted are unfortunately common occurrences throughout our life. When You Insult, You Lose Your PeaceWhen it comes down to arguments, it appears that being insulted is better than to insult. Yes, you heard...

Genesis 3 is so revealing on how the devil tempts us to make wrong decisions. As a result we disobey God and thus, harm our our selves. He Strikes Up a Conversation"Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?," said the serpent to the woman? You see, how craft and deceiving he is? He didn't approach her with a scary look you see in movies, telling her about his evil intentions. Instead, he struck up a very casual conversation with Eve, where nothing seemed apparently wrong. Be careful of this. The devil is very...

Living our lives as dedicated Christians seems difficult in the 21st century, but Jesus promised that the necessary help will be provided through the Holy Spirit and that standing firm is necessary to win your life. Here is what the Lord Says in Luke 21-19 while speaking of difficulties and persecutions of true Christians: “not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life.” Indeed. Stand firm, and you will win life. Stand firm and keep the commandments. Stand firm and do not follow the popular culture. Stand firm and do not be afraid to...

True love is a sacrifice. Sometimes you have to give up winning so others can win. Making a sacrifice allows your brother to get ahead. When you let others to get ahead, God will ensure there is someone there to help you get ahead. Doing good works unselfishly, is infectious and dispels unfounded fear. Today I was listening to a story by a Russian priest who told us how contagious good works are. How do you do good works? See how this young man not only changed the lives of several families by serving them, but also infecting others to...

There was a man in the Old Testament whose name was Jonah. God told him to do something, but he run away and thought he could hide from the presence of God. Then God commanded a big fish to swallow him. Miraculously, he survived in the belly of the fish for three days. During these three days he did three things: He realized he was wrong.He repented for his disobedience to God.He believed that God can still help him and prayed to God with faith. The Scripture says “And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry...

If you from various kinds of bad thoughts and you lost your peace, this is a sign that "you live according to the flesh." Do you know that when you think of the Spirit of God there is neither ‪sadness nor ‪‎disappointments? Have you ever seen a disappointing saint? That's why the Apostle Paul taught to walk "by the spirit." (Romans 8: 5; Gal. 5:16). This is the only real way to overcome worldly difficulties and bad habits because when your mind is governed by the Spirit the result is peace and real life. If you want peace, walk by...

We need to live this life not looking through the rear-view mirror. If someone has hurt you, forgive and move on. Leave it for God and he will care for it. Every time you have been disappointed, God has already set a new beginning for you. This is why you are still in this world. Every morning, every instance is a new beginning and a new opportunity for your salvation, which is life with God in His Kingdom. Your best days are still up ahead. The Scripture says in Ecclesiastes... Continue Reading here.

Do not be upset when things don't happen in your timetable. It takes strong will to move forward and our Lord gives you the necessary strength for it daily. “My grace is sufficient for you,” he said to St. Paul in 2 Corinth. 12:9. If today you are weak, that's where His power works: in weakness.   But in weakness do not lose your hope. Instead, increase your hope because the power of God is working in your if you put your hope only on Him. Yes in weakness. That's what St. Paul says in that very verse quoted above....

http://www.armenhareyan.com/2016/02/11/how-to-patiently-wait-for-gods-timing-in-prayer/When you pray with faith and without doubt, God schedules the answer in His own time. He has a set time for it in the sense that “there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). The Lord sends the answer in His own time and it’s always on time. We need to learn to trust God’s timing because he knows what’s the best time for us to receive or not to receive what we are asking for. We don’t give everything, which our children ask from us, do we? We don’t...

In this society following the Lenten requirements of our faith and fasting are not in fashion and are not encouraged. Neither the TV, nor the newspapers will encourage you to to fast during this season. The most they may do, is to report on the Ash Wednesday, and the Holy Week, culminating with Easter (i.e. the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ). What can you do, if you don't have the strong will to fast during the 40 days of Lent. There are various levels of fasting. The earliest Church fasts severely restricted all foods, but this gradually eased. Pope...

Change your bad habits by not giving in to urges. You think your urge is strong and has power. It is strong, but it doesn't have inherent power because the urge is armless and legless desire that, for example, forces you to run the red light. Do not focus on the strength of the urge because if you consider yourself as a child of God and call Him "Our Father," then know, that "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (1 John. 4:4) These are just common ways the devil attacks you, especially...
