Whenever we are not living in our "true place" we experience what is called "Divine Discontent." It is an inner urging that calls us forth to our next growth opportunity. Yet so often we ignore it or procrastinate on listening to it. And usually something unexpected happens to throw us into a state of having to listen.rn rnFor example, this is often seen when people get fired from a job. In hindsight, they can see that there was that feeling telling them they were unhappy or

These quotations will strengthen your faith. Smith Wigglesworth - “I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am moved only by what I believe.” Kenneth E. Hagin Sr. – “Faith begins where the will of God is known.” Joni Erickson Tada - “Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It’s simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.” Me - Hope = Desire + God’s Promise Faith = Hope + God’s Witness (of the promise) Mark

Grief is yours to own, and no one will ever expect you to forget your grief. Grief cannot just be cured or dismissed, as the hurt surrounding grief is there because of your connection with the loved one you lost. Grief can keep time standing still, and it is very common for people to not want to move through life anymore. Grief can make us want to remain close to the point in time of the grief, through maintaining the same surroundings, locations, routines and rituals.

The Holy Quran that is the religious book of Muslims contains a lot of scientific wonders and description of events that human beings never knew before. Among all these miracles, an important miracle of Holy Quran is the healing powers of this great book. There are numerous verses in Quran that illustrate that this book is a source of spiritual and physical healing for those who believe. Allah says in Holy Quran, “Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands cover th

Chapter 1 - Study of How It Works (p.13-15 Spiritual Infusion) Here is a simple study approach to use. I learned it when attending an Inductive Bible Study course. It involves three basic skills: observation, interpretation, and application. (1) Observation answers the question: What does the text say? (2) Interpretation answers the question: What does the text mean? (3) Application answers the question: What does the text mean to me personally? What truths can I put into practice? What changes should I make in my life?r

My Spiritual Journey in Recovery The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost influenced my personal interpretation that I wrote for my ENG 190, Arizona Western College 1996. I hope you enjoy and feel the depth of my passion in recovery. “The Road Not Taken revealed the message to me, that if I wanted to live a Spiritual Life; I must take the way of The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck. Life is difficult and complex”.

Have you heard the expression “his brain is in neutral”? I take that to mean that a person’s brain is running, but going nowhere. There are lots of revving, smoke, vibration, allusions to power, and great expenditures of fuel, but nobody is going anywhere. It is a shame, but we all have met or known someone with their brain in neutral. A person with great potential and natural ability who could easily succeed at anything they wanted to do. But instead of moving toward success and achieving something, anything, they live a life that produces absolutely nothing.

There is much written today in the life coaching world about the law of attraction. If you think and act positively then positive things will happen to you. There is much truth to the fact that we really are attracting positive and negative things into our life everyday by our conversations, ...

I am a believe who struggled with co-dependency and alcohol. The first time I was exposed to the Twelve Steps, it was in Alcoholics Anonymous and they gave me sobriety from alcohol. I was on the 4th step working this program, when my sponsor sent me to Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA), and Co-dependents Anonymous (Coda) to find myself and identify where the pain in my life was coming from. In other words, my sponsor recognized her limitations and I recognized her frustrations in working with me. The last thing my sponsor told me to do was to go to my chemically dependent meetings daily.

With so many tribulations in life, it’s easy to lose the correct perspective and to focus on problems like the lack of money and time, between other giant challenges that we need to face every day. If we are not careful, we can easily forget about the great blessings the Great Creator of the Universe (Jehovah, Yahweh) has allowed us to have, such as: our health, family, friends, plenty of material goods, our job or business, and opportunities for growing and giving.

Forgiveness is a concept rooted within faith. In the Bible forgiveness is the most crucial concept, the basis for relational healing within community and with God. Lives are transformed as hope takes the place of guilt, anger, loneliness, and fear, as relationships are restored, and the love of God transforms a life. Forgiving someone means that we find the strength to go beyond ourselves to a place that helps us see those who have hurt us in a new way. Brad Hirschfield give

Five Touches To a Better Me New Year provides us with an opportunity to make a start fresh start and to set our lives in order. It is estimated that 48% of Americans will make some Sort of New Year resolution. Of those resolutions made, 92% will not be kept. In fact, 45% will fail before the end of January. Only 8% will reach their goal. That is a sad commentary. Many see the need for improvement in their lives, yet when it comes to actually doing something about it they fail miserably.

Some people do and some do not.The one who asks this question,probably does not.Religion can get you closer to God[the god of your understanding];it can also get you further away from God. Religion consists of sacred scriptures containing stories, parables,rules of conduct for humans, rituals,records of historic events,creation myths and belief systems. All these aspects of religion provide meaning and direction for human existence.Religion also helps create a framework for t

Music During Grief and Loss Music touches your soul like nothing else. Music during times of sorrow can be especially helpful. Songs can speak to our emotions and give voice to how we feel. The late BB King said, “Even in your darkest moments, music is a rope to grab onto, something to pull your through”. For the human heart and mind, music is a gift that brings hope and comfort through even the darkest times. In the midnight hour of the soul, when we feel most besieged by

Dig It UPrnWhere did the car you drive originate? Most would reply, that their car was built in Detroit, Japan or Germany. That in a sense is true. Workers in an auto assembly plant assembled the car piece by piece. But where did it originate before that? A prototype was developed and tested. Designs were created detailing feature on the car from the anti-lock braking system to the cup-holders. But where did the car originate before that? The visible and tangible car you drive began in the invisible and intangible.

Growing up, we never said "grace" in my house. My mom was raised Catholic and my dad a Baptist. Somewhere along the line, they both left their childhood churches, and by the time we came along, religion was no longer part of their daily lives. I suspect that they were unable to reconcile the beliefs taught in their childhood with their scientific understanding of the world. But whatever confusion or yearnings they had, they kept it to themselves, and we went about our busines

Think …on purpose Have you heard the story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”? The story is about a ruler who cares more about clothing than anything else. He hires two swindlers who promise to provide a bespoke suit of clothing like no other. They tell the Emperor they posses a very special cloth. This special cloth would appear invisible to those who are un-savvy and stupid. When these hucksters present this special cloth to the emperor, He cannot see it, but for fear of appearing stupid and un-savvy, he claims that he does. Likewise, all of those in the Emperors Company do the same.

My 96-year-old grandmother is a vibrant, sharp-minded woman who spent most of her life gardening in her large backyard in Massachusetts, and her significant contributions to the American Hosta Society have earned her over 2,500 results if you Google her name. Many spiritual Teachings tell us that we can learn all we need to know just from observing nature. So I asked my grandmother several years ago what she learned from a lifetime of gardening. She thoughtfully considered th

40 Days to a Better Me: Day 07—Get Around the Right People. The old saying “birds of a feather flock together’ is true. There is nothing that will speak more about person than whom they associate with. Therefore, it is imperative that you build networks with people who will propel your life forward. The reason for this is because the people who you allow into your life on a personal level will either help to build your dreams or they will destroy them.

Epiphany.....a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

Living in a universe with constant changern Faithful Choices Did you ever think that it was your choice to be here on this earth, just as much as it was also mine? It is therefore necessary that each of us must realize that the core values we hold within our heart and soul are mirror reflection of our true inner being. So I ask you, when was the last time that you have dared to reflect upon what you truly, deeply believe? Realizing one’s truth is often quite revealing... as

I was asked the question why do Christians observe Lent. I explained that people use this time to reflect upon the sacrifice of Christ as they preparation of Easter. Many will give something up for one reason or another as to make God happy or deal with their guilt. Personally, I think the time could be better spent improving oneself. If the world is going to be a better place it needs better people in it. Doesn’t that make sense? The better I become the more I can make a difference in the world.

Every Hindu festival and ritual has a story behind it. They are celebrated with zeal and enthusiasm, along with having a strong scientific, historical and thoughtful basis attached with it. All these attributes combine and create a reason to celebrate a festival or perform a ritual. These customs are made to lead an individual on a spiritual path where they can experience complete psychological balance, rejuvenation and relaxation. The dates of the Maha Kumbha are determined

We are currently experiencing a great information revolution without realizing and without fully knowing the technology that surrounds us. New changes mean that we have to update constantly in knowledge related to new technologies. People, both those who are studying and those who have already completed their stage, have an obligation to know more and more about the functioning of new technologies. Why? , really if we want to compete in a future in a labor market like the on

The book “LAUNCHING A LEADERSHIP REVOLUTION” written by: Chris Brady & Orrin Woodward, has in it an interesting story about Ben Franklin, one that I will paraphrase. The authors wrote, when Ben Franklin was a young man, around 20 years old, a friend told him he was so disliked people would cross the street to avoid making contact with him. The book describes Benjamin as an extremely opinionated and very argumentative individual. Apparently, Ben Franklin with all his brilliance was very arrogant.

Feeling dejected in life is the worst feeling you could ever have. The phase of life when you can’t think of an alternative and hence ending your life seems to be the only solution, spirituality comes into the role. There are numerous people who don’t believe in the powers of all mighty. But when it comes to chasing the problems of life, the spiritual tools helps you a lot and lets you move out of the negative tenure. Most of you actually know that every day, when we move

“You don’t always get what you deserve in football” said the announcer as I watched Arsenal get pummeled by Barcelona in the semi-finals of the UEFA champion’s league. Be advised I am speaking from a purely one sided opinion as I am in fact an Arsenal fan. Watching Lionel Messi of Barcelona dominate the field by scoring all four goals against the Gunners was aggravating enough. But it was the officials I really had a problem with. Allow me to explain. European football is faced paced and the clock never stops.

Pharaoh had a problem. It doesn’t seem too serious, but it has the potential to explode. Moses arrived with Aaron to demand; “Let My people Go!” The people in question are not there. Oh! They set out with Moses and his brother to confront Pharaoh, but they dropped off, one by one, and by the time the two brothers arrived in front of the king; they were alone. Pharaoh wants to make sure that hip nips this in the bud, so he increases the workload, retracts the day of rest

A voice within......we all have one - we just need to listen. It's a parents dream to be a witness to their child's first words. There was a time when it was easy to speak my little words of expression from that point in my life and receive a smile from my mother. But, as time went on my words became of little interest. My words needed to project my mothers thoughts, attitude and actions for if they didn't, I was punished mentally, physically - anyway to instill "she" was authority.

Religion in western culture has taught us that money is evil and wicked. Money is referred to as the root of all evil, filthy lucre, mammon, and many other names which associate it with Satan. But is it really?r

A hurricane was on a collision course with Iberia Parish Louisiana. That was not uncommon. Numerous hurricanes have pummeled this portion of the Gulf Coast in the past. People in the low lying areas of Cypremort Point, Louisa and Weeks Island and moved further inland to evade the surge and flooding that would becoming that way. There was one road from New Iberia to the “Point” and if you waited to long that road would be under water and you would be unable to get away to higher ground.r

Forty Days to Change My Life—Day 01 It is lent. I am not taking about the stuff that gets caught in the screen of your clothes dryer. I am talking about Lent in the Christian tradition. That period of the liturgical year that leads up to Easter. Through various acts of devotion such as prayer and repentance, making charitable contributions and self-denial the believe is “prepared” for the yearly memorial of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ celebrated during Holy Week.

Why is it so hard to forgive someone? Why does forgiveness hurt so much and seem impossible sometimes? Forgiveness is hard and seems impossible when you try to do it your way and expect situations to mend in your time. When I think back to a time when I was so upset I found it difficult to forgive someone, I know it was my ego at work. How dare someone treat me that way, hurt me, betray me, or judge me? Yes, it was all about me and what was done to me and what was owed to me.

If your answer to the above question is, “Who is Vastu Purush?”, then welcome to the club of the ‘Vastu-uninitiated’! A home without the presence of Vastu Purush is inauspicious to say the least. But, before seeking the answer as to why this figure is important for your home, let us see who the Vastu Purush actually is. The story of this mythological being is mentioned in the Matsaya Purana. The story goes something like this: ‘Once Lord Shiva was engaged in a fierc

Having a dream is essential. Getting around the right people is necessary. Getting rid of fear is key. But until you bust a move—you’re only stating a preference.

While critics have expressed irritation at the solipsism and self-centredness of the protagonist in Elizabeth Gilbert's popular memoir "Eat Pray Love," there is some enlightenment to be found in her journey. Initially impatient with her self-indulgent episodes I began to feel sympathy for the woman. If nothing else, she was good at expressing how it feels to be in pain, and how lost one can feel at the bottom of that particular well of loneliness. So I began to give her the b

God knows who we are prior to us given life just as there are landscape paintings, portrait, and still life in arts. He knows the capacity of each of us and from such power is given. This is why we see children achieving and excelling in some field/s of endeavour for later on in life this is what they’d be called for to do. While others are not given too much to bear, there are some who are given tasks that shape history or mold humanity. Just as the famous line from Spiderm

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. When Jesus talked about faith he said "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed." He said that because he was comparing faith to a seed. When you plant a seed that seed works to produce the very thing it was planted to produce. That seed does not produce in the earth until it breaks through the ground. Then that seed continues to produce in the earth taking on the form and substance of the thing

40 Days to a Better Me: Day 06—you gotta have a dream! The lyrics to an old song say “If you ain’t gotta dream, how ya gonna have a dream come true?’ The sad reality is, millions of people wander through life with no dreams, no hopes, no aspirations for anything better than what they currently have. That is truly sad!r

There is a temple where great care is taken about cleanliness. I regularly see the temple attendants cleaning / wiping the floor of the temple. Despite regular cleaning process, we find dirty water/ dirt coming out in the process. I have never seen that the water is dirt-free and clean after the cleaning process. I wish to see that day when the water is clean after cleaning process (when no dirt is discharged). But this does not seem possible because every day lot of devotees

40 Days to a Better Me—Day 05—Have Fun When I was a boy living in the strange and distant land of Indiana, my summers were filled with the traditional family ritual of camping. Each summer we would trek to Brown County State Park, throw up a couple tents and spend a week or two there. And, I loved it!

In life we usually have a guide or instruction to show us how to get where we want to go. If we are looking for a job, we know the procedure, send resumes, fill out applications, interview and it helps if you have connections. If you want to buy a car or house, you know the procedure; check your credit score, etc. Someone has travelled that road before, so there is a blueprint for us to follow. Frank Salter’s said “you can learn from the word of God or other people’s mistakes

“Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.” Psalm 50:14 The New Living Translation. Expressing gratitude is one of the most effective ways of boosting self confidence and optimism. This is because when we express gratitude our ego (and all of its baggage) is moved out of the way. Everyone has an ego. And, at its core the ego is self-centered and self seeking.

The Invention of a Lie? I guess I don’t have a sophisticated funny bone. When I watched Ricky Gervais’s "The Invention of Lying" I didn’t find it “explosively funny” as, according to the DVD cover, David Edelstein, the "New York" critic did. I didn’t even find it “a remarkably radical comedy”, as Roger Ebert, critic for the "Chicago Sun-Times" did (There was no indication of which way his thumb was pointing.). I found it a little sad. The movie describes a world in which i

rn Diwali, the festival of lights is fast approaching and there is already a sense of excitement, hope and euphoria amongst the people of India. It is also called 'Festival of Lights' as people illuminate candles, 'diyas' on this day and celebrate the victory of good over wicked powers. The day is celebrated in throughout the world, where in Nepal it is called 'Tihar' and 'Swanti'. Diwali is also originated as the harvest day where it is considered as the last harvest time of

That is the definition of “faith” according to my morning tea mug. I like to be greeted by this reminder first thing because I’m a learned optimist. I used to be a shocking pessimist who availed of every opportunity to worry. But now I know that worry is such a waste of time! But still, the habits of a lifetime are hard to kill. So, I need to constantly remind myself to be hopeful rather than fearful. You see I now believe in the power of optimism. I believe it is more

It’s a very seductive idea: That God, the creator of the universe, has a special life plan for each of us. No matter what slings and arrows we encounter during our time on this planet, it was meant to be. No matter how much we exercise our free will, and no matter what the outcomes, it’s already written. It’s surprising how many people believe this at some level—and not just fundamentalist Christians. Mainstream Christians, Moslems, Jews, Hindus and more. You hear the

We are just days away from the new year. This is a very festive time of year just finishing up Christmas and Thanksgiving was just a few weeks prior to that. Though this is “happy time of year” I personally do not like the time between Thanksgiving and New years for two reasons: Dark and cold. To me the holiday season seems to be the darkest and coldest time of the entire year.

There was once a man and his son going with their Donkey to the market. As they were walking along by its side a neighbor man passed them and said: "You fools, what is a Donkey for but to ride on?" So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of ...

Two years ago actress Gabrielle Union, in an interview with Oprah, spoke about the day she had been raped. She was 19 years old at the time and was working at a shoe store. One evening, around closing time, a man came into the store. “Within seconds, Gabrielle says she knew something was wrong…but she stayed silent. ‘As women, we're raised to be polite and you don't want anybody to feel bad…but my body, my instinct, everything in my being was saying, '

Although each single mosque has its own importance for Muslims and even the Non-Muslims respect the religious places of Muslims but there are always some places which are exclusive among others due to any historic background or a specific story attached to them. Masjid e Jumah is also one of them. Masjid Jumah has its own unique importance for the Muslims. Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed the first Jumah prayer in this mosque after migration from Makkah. It is in

We are taught that prayer is one of the most important aspects in a believer’s life and that if we do it correctly, we can achieve amazing results. Yet there are so many people who complain their prayers are left unanswered. Why are some prayers answered while others aren't? Can we make mistakes when praying? Is there a right way to pray? First of all, prayer is an act of communication, not a one-way monologue. We have to learn to choose our words but we also have to learn

Since I currently have a job at Unity Village pending, over the past few weeks, I have learned more about affirmative prayer than I could have ever hoped to have learned in my lifetime, almost. To start with, affirmative prayer consists of, first acknowledging (or calling forth, if you will) the Divine within yourself (e.g. your Higher Self or Christ Nature), then affirming that everything is in perfect Divine order and that the best result is on its way whether it is to occu

There is no fury like that of a woman sco ed, says the world. While this is true, there is a greater truth which is, there is no fury like that of God unleashed on his disobedient children. Many of us fear satan and what he can do to us. As we read the story of Job we shiver and tremble at what Job had to go through and we pray that such challenges would not be our portion. However, as difficult and testing as Job’s troubles were, Jesus said in Luke 12:5,”Fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear him!” Who was Jesus referring to?

In the sphere of Feng Shui, the indomitable pair of Elephant and Rhinoceros is the ultimate symbol of protection against robbery, accidents, enemies, office politics, business competitors and backstabbing. The undefeatable pair is the proven and trusted cure against people out to harm or cheat you, injuries and other violent afflictions brought by the #7 Violent Star. This honour is earned because of the magnificent history and characteristics of both animals. Most of us are

I love asking people if they feel that God loves them. Most respond,"Yes!"; I then ask the more challenging question: "How do you know?"; That's when it becomes interesting. I invite you to join me in raising a toast to God, Who made it very clear to me, once again, that He must really love me: I met my son for coffee late last night, and in the course of our conversation he told me that he decided to randomly ask people whether they have ever experienced God in their lives.

Oh Profanity! It seems to be everywhere. It is spray painted on city walls around the world in every language known to man. It is heard in the media, music and heard in public places. What my mother would literally wash out my mouth with soap for saying is being used with professional expertise by second graders.

We have entered into the Era of the gospel of the Kingdom of God. This is a time in the Body of Christ that we must focus on manifesting the power of the Kingdom of God to come right here upon the earth (Matthew 24:14). Part of this gospel is to understand that he that endures until the end shall be saved.

In 1970 even the churches were not regularly taught the doctrine of the second coming of Christ more commonly known as premillennial prophecy. Then along came Hal Lindsey’s block buster best seller, “The Late Great Planet Earth.” The nation and the world were catapulted into a revival of knowledge that even the Prophet Daniel proclaimed would not be well known or revealed until the last days. A few great works have been added to Lindsey’s book and those who had only Clarence

The story of “Laurre the Elliot” who bagged a master’s degree at the age of 90, says a lot about the fact that – where there is a will, there will always be a way – no matter the trials or pains! “Laurre the Elliot” is a proof to many that it's never too late to fulfil your dreams. She said it was that nagging, "unfilled desire", that prevented her from never giving up. If you want to do something badly enough – then you will be able to do it. Later on, she we

How do you react when trouble comes your way? How do you cope when friends betray you? What do you do when your talents and gifts go unrecognized? You may react in a number of ways. You may decide that maybe God does not love you. You may get bitter and plan vengeance on your enemies. You may carry a grudge and be a foul smelling aroma wherever you go or you may even decide to give up hope, thinking that all is lost. We all know these are inappropriate and unproductive ways of dealing with life issues. When we react in this manner, it only leads to pain and regret in the long run.

Before examining Freemason symbols, it is important to try to grasp their historical origins. Scholars debate just how old these symbols actually are. It is known that some of these symbols were used thousands of years ago; some of them even pre-dating the building of King Solomon’s temple, which is the foundational setting of Freemasonry of which each lodge is an emulation. Did these Masonic symbols originate with the ancient Sumerians, Mesopotamians and Persians? Some of

Since there are already lots of people getting into affiliate marketing, it is no wonder that the competition is getting stiff.

There are many holy places of different religions which are highly respected by the followers of that religion. But undoubtedly the Holy Kaaba is considered as the most respected place in this world as each year millions of Muslims travel all the way from their relative places to visit Kaaba shareef. Muslims keep the picture of Kaaba in their homes to show their love. Everyday thousands of pilgrims visit it and feel the most spiritual sensation ever. Yet there are only a few

One who wants to offer Umrah should enter a sta

Discouragement is probably one of the biggest life tribulations we need to face on a regular basis. It doesn’t matter how successful we have been in the past; we will need to confront discouragement at some point in our life. Before teaching how to overcome discouragement to some good friends of mine, they were living a very bitter life. They were allowing discouragement to take away the successful life the Great Creator of the Universe planned for them. I believe that discouragement is what keeps most people from accomplishing their life’s purpose.

I've heard it a thousand times. I've probably said it a thousand times myself. Someone bares their soul to me, and the situation is terrible, painful, difficult ... far beyond the reach of anything I can do – or anyone can do – to help. And then those six words slip from my lips: nn "All I can do is pray." nnEven as I write the words, I can hear the defeat resonating from them. Properly translated, what I far too often mean when I say those six words is, "I'm sorry I can'

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose Hope is the LORD. Jeremiah 17:7 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

(NKJV) For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plan

Recently, I was asked to minister on Faith at the Women’s Ministry at my church. When I began to prepare my notes, I started brainstorming on what personal testimonies I wanted to share that would go in-line with the topic. Two years ago, I would have been shy at the thought of sharing personal stories. But knowing who I am today, I can freely speak on matters that were hurtful, confusing, and degrading without getting upset. Many years ago, I was unable to think let alone speak on many things from my past because of the emotional distress that it caused.

Even when we know that life tribulations are part of our daily life, sometimes we have the challenge of facing unexpected difficulties. These are like low blows that seem to take our breath out. I remember the occasion when we had to take my grandmother to the hospital because she was feeling sick. Days later my grandmother got better; however, my grandfather who was okay suddenly died. No one expected this.

Under the Islamic global law, the world is divided into two portions. One is called Darul-Islam and other is called Darul-Harb. The partition or division finished by Muslims jurists is of great position because the relationships of the Muslims towards the Non-Muslims are mostly determined on the foundation whether are state or nation of the later is to be observed as Darul-Islam or Darul-Harb. This concept plays an important role in the administration of state. If we see the

Conservative hawks may want Rep. Todd Akin scrubbed from the ticket even as religious leaders and those voicing the social issues in this election cycle are defending Akin or at least not attacking him. Is it because contributions may flounder or because even the GOP is phobic about the so called ‘hot button issues.’ It seems that while MSNBC is always the perennial least watched news outlet, they still keep the other news organizations slightly off center and on the defensi

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, rnthat he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8 Have you ever asked yourself why Jesus had to die? If what the Bible and Christian tradition says (that some 2000 years ago, Jesus dies on a cross for humanity) is true, the questions that come to mind are; firstly why did he have to die and secondly, did his death accomplish anything? In my experience I have encountered a few people who cannot come to grasp with the con

The light of a star guided three wise men to a stable to find the light personified by the baby Jesus. Throughout the gospels the concept of light was often used as an analogy for wisdom, goodness, and the Spirit of God. Jesus frequently referred to Himself as “the Light,” especially in the gospel of John.nnOne of the responsibilities we have as people of faith and disciples of Jesus, is to strive to become as Christ-like as we can.nnIt’s incredibly easy to

The Life of A Vision: Bring Your Images To Life Do you have a Life Vision that brings your images to life? What ideas do you have that will take your ‘soul purpose’ and let it flourish? A Vision lives outside of artificially imposed boundaries that are laid out by societal norms. If you want to give your vision life, then free your heart and soul to travel outside of contemporary boundaries to let your image lead the way. Innovative ideas come to mind in many ways; it is

God has many promises for Christians. He promises us life and life more abundantly (John 10:10). He promises to give us long life. He promises to supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). He promises that you can do all things through him who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). He promises to give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 16:19).

Faith Grows From the Inside Out The faith that is valid for you is what only you can feel in your heart and soul. This is your true essence awakening! It is your life long relationship that you authentically create with yourself and your higher power. It grows as you nurture it earnestly and consistently. By keeping your faith, having hope and cultivating a self liking you will create that sense of self that will experience true happiness and freedom along your journey, where

A child's first communion is a noteworthy moment for a lot of Catholic families. Communion often takes place when a child is around seven or eight years old, and it is the first occasion your daughter will be able to partake in the Holy Eucharist sacrament. When preparing for this important occasion, you'll need to invest in a communion veil, dress, shoes, rosary, and other items. In order to prepare your daughter for her first communion, you will have to do more than shoppin

At first glance, it would seem that healthy thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (known as ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many people with ADD develop unhealthy thinking patterns because they become frustrated by their challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. ...

On a typical Saturday afte oon in my Home Based Music School, I was teaching a Voice Class and my 96-year-old mother was her usual self in her own room-watching TV after having her breakfast and morning medications. Before I continue, let me state that for a long while now privately and in my local church I had been doing a Bible Study on Mark 11:22-26. It reads: Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed, and b

No matter what you believe in, your beliefs influence what happens in your life. This includes everything from your chosen career to what you’ll accept in terms of relationships and the opportunities that flow your way. If you have too many beliefs that are fear-based, it’s hard to have faith and fully engage in life. In fact, there is a saying that goes “the opposite of fear is faith.” If you are constantly fearful, even if the fear is only imagined, it’s hard to make choic

It has been said we should be careful of what we ask for, hope for, wish for, and pray for-- as this infers we may not like what we receive. Why would someone not like the manifestation of his or her own request? Maybe the reason someone would not like the manifestation of his or her own request is, when it arrives--whatever IT is-- it catches them/us by surprise. If so, then perhaps we are surprised because at some level we are unaware of the essence of self, unaware of the true nature and power of the human-while-being.

Friday, March 9.2012 I was on my way to work. I left home about 7:40am. I take the same route: Morningwood Drive to Cashell Ct, turn right then left on Bowie Mill Road. Turn left at Muncaster Mill Road and then a quick right on Needwood Road. Needwood Road has a small lake and I always take a glance at it, check the water level and admire the trees. Then I start my prayer and meditation. This road has a lot of speed bumps so I figure rather than be mad the whole time driving

Last week, I received an email from a friend asking if I wanted to host a few angels in my home. At first glance it seemed like a cheesy chain mail offer, but after I read the first sentence it became clear how very real this offer was. Without hesitation or even reading the entire email, I accepted. As it turns out I am hosting not just any angels (as if this wouldn’t have been beautiful enough!) but five powerful Archangels: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Metatron. T

How many times have you heard preachers and well meaning Christians tell you how much God loves you? Of course in one sense, this is true. John 3:16 tells us that God loves sinners and gave his Son, Jesus Christ, as proof of that love. Without Jesus, we would all be headed to hell. However, the scriptures also point to God’s hatred and wrath. For example Psalm 5:5-6 reads, “Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. You will destroy those who tell lies.

We have been wonderfully and fearfully created. We are the image of the Most High God. Everything I've been searching for has been in me since conception. We are on an assigned journey in life, designed in the mind of God. Laid out before us is a maze of adventure, the choices of right and wrong and within us God's Spirit dwells, speaking to our hearts the path to follow. We have a fierce adversary who has hated us from the beginning of time. His design is to steal, kill and destroy. He will stop at nothing to have you join him in ete al suffering.

If Heaven is glorious, perfect, and complete, a place of ete al joy, peace, and love, we must then be living our worst life now! Anything short of perfection is imperfect. As Christians, no matter how great our life is here on Earth, we must know that this is only a small measure to what our lives will be in Heaven. By the same token no matter how troubled and difficult our lives are on Earth we must also know that this is as bad as it will get. In Heaven we will be free from all our troubles. If this is the case, why then are many of us living in this life as though we were here forever?

When we speak of faith, we tend to speak of it as something absolute. I have heard many people say they have to build their faith, and often I have heard people say they have no faith is this or that, in him or her. In this way faith is either there or it is not, or so it seems. On the other hand, when you think of faith it seems to be something that is more flexible than water, stronger than steel, and perhaps faster than a speeding bullet - but what is it?

Molded Clayr By: Patrice Perkins My title choice, “Molded Clay”, is an analogy. I am using this analogy because in life, we are formed into many different shapes to accommodate life, and at each turn, transformations occur so frequent until your personality or way of living your life reflects what each turn has taught. This signifies learned experience. In the Beginning:

An ethical will is a document that is intended to convey your hopes, dreams and personal philosophies of life to your heirs. This document is like a prayer that you compose for these special people in your life to help guide their spirituality after you leave this world. When composing your ethical will you will want to address specific ethical issues like priorities in life, professionalism, community involvement and love. Priorities in Life One of the first ethical issues

Many years ago, my husband and I decided to divorce. We listed our house for sale. At the time it was a downward market, and houses were not selling. nnPatiently, I waited. While the house was listed, I began a search for a new home, but we were losing equity in our home every day. Our house was listed for less than what we paid for it, and we had decreased the listing price twice. I had no money to buy a new home. nnBut I was dead set on my goal—I clearly described my drea

SYNOPSIS: The article tries to visualise the great power of devotion. The article calls for unfailing devotion towards ALMIGHTY at all times and in all circumstances. An infant not even in full clothing, thirsty & hungry in hot summer afternoon is often made a symbol of misery and you must have seen such infant in mother’s lap begging on traffic signals in poor countries. That infant is on mother’s feed and is a newborn, therefore the infant had done nothing wrong in the

There once lived a man whose only conce was to rid the world of adversity, anxiety, and unfai ess. After many years of research and contemplation, he concocted a brew of special ingredients. He then produced and bottled his concoction in mass quantities, hung out his shingle, and took the product to market. He called his invention “Happiness.” In a very short while, there were lines outside his door, wrapping around the city block corner. Orders for the invention came from the four corners of the earth. Success was his, he thought.

Spoken of by the prophets 2,000 years before his birth, being sent to a lost and dying world to set right what Adam had failed to do. A plan by Almighty God to restore your relationship with himself. The 'cornerstone' which would become the stumbling block to many. Where is the Messiah? How long will our God, Jehovah, let us suffer at the hands of the Romans? Surely he will send a mighty all conquering King to give Israel, his chosen, their Glory once again.

The first thing you can work on to make the coming year a great one, is your belief system. Your belief system has the power to create and destroy your life. The way you view life and everything in it (people, events, information, circumstances) is all interpreted by your belief system. So, if you believe that the world is evil and filled with violence, that is the world you will live in. If you believe that you are a helpless victim and that nothing good ever happens to you, that is the world you will live in. However, is you believe that life is good and meant to be enjoyed it will be.

"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise." Deuteronomy 6:7 I became a mom at the young age of 17. Talk about being clueless… I was completely head over heels in love with that precious little girl but I didn't really know how to help her grow up. I didn't know what I was supposed to do to prepare her to someday leave home and build a life of her own, to raise children of her own.

I watched a very disturbing video today, I wish I hadn't seen. I believe the gentleman narrating the video is a professor at a Arkansas university. He is a theologian and has spent a number of years studying the books of the Bible. He proceeds in telling how he's often heard the question asked 'why is the most powerful country ever on earth, not even mentioned in the Bible?' Well he says, it is! In the book of Jeremiah Chapter 51 verse 12-14, verse 29, 47 and verse 48 he claims the prophet is indeed speaking of America as Babylon.

I am merely dust my Lord, being tossed about in the tempest that is my life. Formed in my mother's womb, my days counted and seen by your eyes that are able to view the landscape that is ete ity. Knowing the moment I would take my first breath and the day I would exhale it the last time. Watching as I took my first step, seeing me stumble and fall as my mind began to process what a big world I've entered. Listening to every conversation my parents had invested in me and looking in disbelief as I began to chart my own course.

Have you ever received a phone call that went something like this? "Hello" "Hey, how are you?" "I'm good, how are you?" "Great, did you watch the game last night?" "Yes, great game" "Well, all of us need to get together to watch a game soon." "Sure, we need to do that." "What about this weekend?" "Uh… who is this?"

There is a unique challenge to building a ministry that can leave ministers susceptible to fear that other Christians may not have to deal with on a regular basis.

Praise you Father God, to you Lord be the Glory and Honor. This is the foundation to life, these are the building blocks on the journey of life that will Bless you in ways you could never imagine. Praising your God! God created us to be instruments of Praise, but in the darkness of this world we found our comforts in earthly things rather then Godly things. We chose to fulfill selfish desires and maybe, not intentually, ignored God who created us.

I’ll start by saying how much I learned in this course. It has laid the groundwork for assisting others in the understanding of the complexities of belief. I enjoyed the whole course and the way it was related to the ministry of the Universal Life Church. I felt the course was a very thought provoking and unique program. By looking into the history and development of western intellectual thought as is associated with the development of religion one can see how this evolution

One of the most influential spiritual teachers of all time was Jesus of Nazareth. His teachings have inspired followers for the past two thousand years. His message of love and forgiveness has been shared on every continent and his words transcribed into numerous languages. And, each Sunday more people will be in attendance at a local house of worship than at all of the professional sporting events combined for an entire year! Yes. The life and teachings of Jesus have made an impact.r

SYNOPSIS: The article focuses on remembering GOD's kindness in times of success & happiness . And GOD's mercy in times of failure & grief. But in reality, we seldom remember GOD's kindness in our success & in our happy times. And in reality, we seldom fail to blame GOD for our failure & our grief. Whatever favorable is happening in our life must always be attributed to the kindness of GOD. Similarly whatever unfavorable is happening in our life must always be taken as our sel

Father God thank you for your forgiveness today. Storms in my life daily give me a reason to pray. You Lord God are the giver of all good things, hearing from you daily with the positive instruction it brings. I look towards Heaven with a very watchful eye, please Jesus help me, I've forgotten how to cry. Life has many ways to get you down, open my ears Holy Spirit to hear what you're saying...a peaceful quiet sound. I feel like I've been praying my entire life. This pain, that problem, how am I going to do it, Lord I'm tired of all this strife.r

Out of places to run? Exhausted from the fear of tomorrow? Unable to sleep to restore your well being? Not finding relief from the new prescription? Listening to the doctor's diagnosis, but knowing in your heart they don't hold the answer. Continuing to work in a mind and body that want to quit. Hoping and praying that this hell, will soon end. Wanting to live, not wanting to meet God today...not in this battered condition. Wondering how much a mind can worry, how much can a body suffer, in the end, what was this ordeal really about?

Dude! What’s My Sign?r

I don't know whose saying this was, but it sure struck a chord with me, 'consider the work of God: for who can make straight, which he made crooked?" Have you ever been so distraught you've said, I wish I'd never been born! If I'd know my life would unfold like this, I'd chosen not to be born. One problem...God and God alone plans the beginning of one's day, one's journey and one's span of existence.

Islam is a religion in view of values and tenets that are sited on every Muslim in the world. In any case, a Muslim's appreciation towards Islam, and subsequently one and only Allah, are deficient without the voyage to the Holy city of Makkah. This journey of making a trip to Makkah is known as the Hajj journey or the Umrah. In spite of the fact that both the devout journeys mean paying regard in individual to the Holy Almighty at the Holy city, there is a distinction of time

I have not lived my life honoring you as God. Have you ever stopped being God? Has my worrying ever made you less tolerant or more tolerant towards me? Has my self indulgence in any way changed your plan for my destiny? What prayers have ever touched your heart? Have my fears prevented my prayers from being heard? Faith the sized of a mustard seed. That's surely not very big...surely I must have that much faith. to live by fear is to no live by faith. Without faith I can't please you. Have I ever pleased you? I know I've certainly grieved you.

“I’ve failed, but I’m strong enough to have been able to turn this experience around. I’ve stumbled and faltered, but I’ve turned the bumps in my road into stepping-stones.” – Anonymous Failure is only failure if you perceive it to be. There is no failure when you turn the bumps in your road into stepping-stones. A stepping stone is symbolic of a positive movement forward; a step in the right direction.

Do you love God? How do you love God? Does your love for God seem to be 'lip service' or heartfelt love? Has God given you a reason to love him today? Does he need to do something miraculous to receive your love?

Many of us desire the American dream; having our own home, a white picket fence, a gorgeous wife, 2.5 kids, and plenty of cash in the bank. Sounds great, right? Not exactly. Once this is achieved, now what? Oh, maybe a bigger house or a larger picket fence, more money in the bank and more toys! After all, as the late Malcolm Forbes of Forbes’ magazine once said, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” Wins what? More happiness, more joy and fulfillment? That is precisely the question.

Forgive your enemies although creating millions of Asian art seem to be easier than doing the former. This is very hard to do most especially if the damage and pain inflicted has been too much. Yet, it is said to forget your enemies. The logic behind is pretty simple. In this lifetime, it will just be either you and her or him will leave the earth earlier than expected. The caveat, however, is how to do so when the pain inflicted is still being triggered to surface by some p

Born on a very bright December night, born in this humble stable, humanity's treasure...the Way, the Truth and the Life. This Christ child was given to a world too blind to see, Jesus knew his destiny and he loved us that much...to die on Calvary for you and me. Mary and Joseph accepted their role in God's perfect plan, God would wrap himself in flesh and walk as Deity amongst man. From the moment he was born his life was in danger, this tiny, innocent child, born among livestock in a manger.r

Remember that little prayer of grace 'God is Great, God is Good, let us thank him for our food.' So basic, yes he is GREAT, beyond human comprehension...GREAT! Man is he good, good to you and good to me. Got a roof over your head, know where your next meal is coming from, is your mind and body well? If the answers are yes, know why? Because, God is GOOD! He's good, because he tolerates his creation to completely ignore him and he still loves and loves. When someone loves you like that...that's GOOD! He's good, because he sent you a means of Salvation in his Son Jesus.

The growing popularity of Peace Sign pillow defines that the trend of using pillows in combination is on the rise. Peace Sign pillow has high utility potential for every family. Stitching your name and message at the corner of the pillow to be gifted would be an excellent idea to make your Christmas and New Year gift special.

Eric Clapton wrote 'If I Could Change The World.' John Mayer wrote 'Waiting On The World To Change.' Michael Jackson's wonderful song 'We Are The World' spoke volumes about how people coming together with a united purpose can indeed change the world. The puzzling question is...these artist are three powerhouses of the music industry and their music creations are crying out for change, they have money, fame, drugs, sex, but in their hearts they know what they really want is...change.

Sin...wrong, wrongdoing, evil, evildoing, badness, crime, offense, immorality. Has man somehow escaped from these descriptions? Has the lust of worldly things so blinded us? Lust...A strong or uncontrollable desire, especially for sexual pleasure, to desire eagerly. So captivated by selfish fulfillment that we wallow in our immorality and wear it like a badge of honor. Seeking the pleasures of man other than those unto God.

As a physician and a parent I'm keenly aware that there are certain conversations that a parent never wants to have with the medical team caring for their newborn. As a life coach I believe that within each of us is the capacity to face the truth. Deciding to pursue a career in medicine is about curing people, helping people, and making a difference in patients' lives. In the early years, it is not completely understood that the role of a doctor also includes giving unwanted

I gave birth to a baby girl named Azadeh Rose just over a week ago. Of course, if you`ve been reading this blog awhile, you realize the baby has been very real to me since we conceived her actually, she has been a being much longer than that. Both my husband and I have been speaking with her for many years, even before we met one another. And since we conceived, we communicated with her in the womb just as we talk with someone we could see. Sometimes, Azadeh came to us like a

Praise you Lord God, yes it's me, do you remember my voice? Have you been able to see? What nerve have I to ask for a single thing to straighten out this screwed up life, to take me back under your wing? It's been years Dear God and where have I been...living it up, wallowing in sin. I laid down each night and never gave you a second thought, forgetting Calvary and the suffering that it brought. Yes, Lord, it's me, down on my luck again, down on bended knee. How strange it feels to enter and ask once again, please, Lord, be my deliverer, be my friend.

No book that is claimed by people in million years that is holy can be a hoax. These are not like wall paintings that can just be created by the creative geniuses. The stories may be seen as others as fantasies because many could not fathom its symbolism. And no one can really disce its reality and its true interpretation not unless they see the stories happening or have witnessed its realization. The books of the wise as of the philosophers, sages, visionaries cannot be und

God speaks to us. And when He does, in an instant we see our surrounding as a landscape painting. With so many preaching et al, it is hard to disce what among those is God’s message to us. However, most of the time, God speaks to us not in a general manner. He knows us greatly, majestically! He knows what we feel and from our thoughts and emotion and from the situation we are in, He will address us. And you will know how personal the message is once it is sent. Preaching, no

Life is a bed of roses and as what roses have, they’ve got thorns. It is the rough and unpolished in a wall painting that creates a dramatic effect on the art. As people say, in life we need to take the good and the bad. As we grow older, we realize how God loves us and justice shall prevail in every circumstance in our lives. This too shall pass! This is how we console ourselves when faced with ugly situations. Mishaps are normal in our lives. We do not blame God for the ba

In everyday life, we often come across words like ‘knowledge,’ ‘wisdom’ and ‘common sense.’ But what exactly do these words mean? Let us explore! Knowledge:rnIn a broad sense of the term, knowledge refers to the theoretical or practical understanding of any subject. There are many types of knowledge. There is worldly knowledge that helps navigate the day-to-day life. Then there is technical knowledge which comes from a deep study of any subject. For example, docto

rnIn “Meditations on First Philosophy,” Descartes set out to determine how and if we can distinguish false beliefs from true knowledge. He began by noting that there is theoretically no limit to how wrong we could be, because, God could deliberately deceive us about even the most seemingly self-evident matters. People were uncomfortable speaking of God as a deceiver, so Descartes’ conceit has become known as the Evil Genius. The Evil Genius is determined to have us embr

40 Days to a Better Me: Day 11-Welcome Diversity “Paw-Paw, you white.” These were the words of my two year old granddaughter spoken directly to me eye ball to eye ball. Well, she was seated her car seat and I was making eye contact with her via my rear view mirror. Anyway, the statement made me stop to figure out what she was saying.r

To forgive is not an easy task. It is creating a wall painting out of sculpture. People ask for justice. Yet justice in human hands can be very damaging because the villains have a way to combat justice and turnaround situation. And before you seek for justice, the guilty knows how to damage us or to lead us to hell or to situations that will serve his own agenda. But despite mind-conditioning façade or the heavy shielded mask to turn around situation, God sees the heart. Go

Sanctification. A long word for a long process. nnOnce, a friend I was discipling asked me, "What does it mean to be sanctified?" I took a deep breath, and said, "Well . . . !"nnYou can talk about positional sanctification, that the moment you accept Christ as your Savior, you are sanctified: set apart in the family of God. You can go on to experiential sanctification, that is, growing as a Christian to become more and more like Christ in our daily lives. You can finish up wi

It's so easy to remain where we are comfortable. Our rounds of church, work, friends, and family are reassuring, pleasant, and peaceful. But Paul urges us in Romans 12:16 to get out of the comfort zone where we talk and interact with people "just like us" day after day. He urges us to "associate with the lowly." Associate with the lowly. Why would Paul find this point important enough to include in the magnificent litany that makes up Romans 12? Consider these seven powerful

The Walk of FaithnBy Lissette RiosnEdited by Patricia BecknIt was an absolutely heart breaking moment in my life. Between crying inconsolably, praying, and giving thanks for the next step, it seemed that I would never finish unpacking all the boxes. I was settling in to my cousin’s apartment after a break up with my soul mate. This was more than just the breakup of a relationship. This was the crumbling of a home and a business. It meant leaving everything behind and st

Reading articles of faith can help when you find yourself in a rut. Keep reading for how you can benefit from reading articles of faith. Science points to the idea that spirituality is a path to self-improvement . This is because of the fact that many spiritual texts are complete with doctrines that inherently aim to make us better people. Giving up drinking, deciding to make huge lifestyle changes, or aiming to be more truthful in life are all ways in which we aim to recode

Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, “I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, plans for a hope and a future.” Some have said that “the opposite of fear is faith.” However, we are living during a time in which many people are experiencing fear; fear of the Coronavirus, fear of other current day hypothetical situations that they hear about on the news, and even fear of the future. It is obviously important to do our best to care for our own

Technology has certainly taken over our lives in the last 20 years. We walk around with phones because we’re afraid to miss a call. And those phones have become little computers because we’re afraid to miss some information. We’ve got portable DVD players and portable TVs in our cars because we’re afraid of our kids arguing with each other. rnWe’ve got seminars on iPods because we’re afraid of “wasting” a moment of “down” time.

Chinese New Year 2012 is one of the most popular Chinese celebrations of the year 2012 and it is not a spiritual event. Chinese New Year initiates with the new moon on the first day of the New Year and ends on the full moon of fifteen days soon after. The Chinese New Year celebration extends to different nations when the Chinese started to move around to other countries. It also signifies the beginning of the spring season so people also called it the Spring Festivals. This i

The year 2020, sigh! What a year has it been? Did anyone of us, even in our wildest dream even think about it? We are sure no! Well the year 2020 has literally changed everything! There is not a single person who can say that he or he has not been affected by it in some way or the other.

If you are thinking about forgiving someone, be encouraged because it is the first step in healing your pain. At the same time, do not be discouraged if your offender rejects your attempts to reconcile and forgive. Unwelcoming responses may be a harsh reality.

He feels he’s already forgiven his father for abandoning him, but he still

If you open yourself to receive, the Universe will provide you with everything that you need. This includes faith. As I say in my book Just Give Your Head a Shake: “I knew by the time I was a teenager that I had an innate ability to analyze human behavior.

But I didn’t know what to do with it until I opened my mind to receive direction from the Universe.” Here are some tips

I am so tired of seeing the Body of Christ struggle financially. I believe that this is a misrepresentation of who Jesus is and it has to stop. Even in His time upon the earth Jesus was a wealthy man from a wealthy carpentry family. His father, Joseph, was a descendant of King David. Upon His birth He was blessed with what would be millions of dollars in today’s value from the wise men (Matt 2:11). He wore custom-made robes that had no seams (John 19:23). He was a wealthy man who worked closely with men of wealth as His disciples.

The economic collapse we’re experiencing was really a long time in coming and now that we’re looking backwards with clear and sober eyes, we can recognize the signs for what they were.

Ignatius of Antioch was sent to his execution in Rome for refusing to worship Roman Gods and stood his ground against the persecution of Christian churches. Ignatius’s inexorable resolve in his Christian faith helped him confront his own imminent death and made him embrace it as an act of martyrdom.

A man, along with his son, was walking back home from the funeral of his wife. Though the two were not crying, the pain in their eyes looked inconsolable. Through the mist in his eyes, the man looks up in the sky and nods as though talking to someone up above. He then lifts his 8-year-old son up in the arms as they cut across a farm with a scarecrow standing tall. The man wipes tears off his son’s eyes and says comfortingly, “your mom is up there keeping an eye on us.”

Not only can animals smell, hear and see things that humans cannot, at times they can even intuit spiritual forces of which humans seem to be oblivious. Both the Ramban and Rashi are intrigued by the capacity of Bilam’s donkey to “see an angel of Hashem” (Bamidbar 22:23). “Even humans do not see angels other than in visions or dreams,” [1] says the Ramban, “angels are spiritual forces that cannot be detected by the senses”. For this reason, he suggests initially

The Lord’s Prayer comes so readily off of people’s lips during church services and at home; it can be seen gracing calendars, Scripture necklaces and various memorabilia, but how often do we find ourselves just repeating the words without reflecting on their deeper meaning and what implications it has on the way we are to commune with God and among ourselves?

How often have you asked for assistance, signs, insight, clarity…only to feel confused when the outcome is contrary to what we received?

One of the most essential parts of Christianity lies in recognizing the fact that Jesus Christ was divine.
