All we need is Jesus-Don’t you know! Our nation is in trouble, spiritually along with morally and monetarily. If we want GOD to bless us and our country, we need to come together in unity to request for forgiveness, both equally for our nation as well as personally, in prayer, praise and worship. Psalm 33:1-3 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre Sing t

Have you ever wondered why the emblem of the cross has such a profound presence in our world today? To Christians, the cross should be a reminder of the call of Christ. In Roman times the cross was a means of death for prisoners to serve not only as a means for killing someone but it was also a method of torture. When the Roman Empire ruled, the symbol of the cross caused fear and shame. Today, the cross is seen everywhere. You can find a cross in your everyday life without e

Our Savior was born of the tribe of Judah, spent His life with the Jews in Israel, observed and taught the “Jewish” laws, and commanded His Jewish disciples not to go to the Gentiles but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Are these facts significant, or mere accident? By downplaying these and other basic truths and detaching itself from its own roots, could Christianity have done Bible believers a great injustice?rn rnYahshua the Messiah came at Bethlehem when t

President Trump urged the UN to reject globalism and embrace patriotism, but was interrupted by laughter. The Guardian It might surprise most readers to see how the Bible supports President Trump as making the US great again, even at the cost of his life. When asked about the end of the world, the Great Teacher who divided BC from AD said to understand the book of Daniel. In Daniel 8, we see a confrontation of a ram that probably represents militant Islam, pushing north (into Russia) south into Africa, and west into Europe and North America.

Understanding the African business model. In Africa, there are numerous opportunities to engage and build real businesses around, as there are all over the world. However, the method of doing business in Africa is different from the rest of the world and this makes the business model for Africa to be unique. Before anyone can actually start a business in Africa, a basic understanding of what works and what does not work must be grasped.

God is almighty, he is omnipresent. He sees all your actions and wishes and wishes to fulfill them. Just think yourself as a father of the family, who fulfills all the wishes of family members as the head of the family. He knows what demands are to be fulfilled and what not? He knows which demands are extravagant and which are appropriate. So is the God of the world, the almighty God. We, as a Christian should live a contended life. We should know what demands are selfless an

Take a look at your prayer life. What sort of things do you pray about? Have you noticed that the nature of your prayer requests reveal the conditions of your heart? Perhaps you are struggling with financial hardship and desire to find security. Maybe you are facing an important life decision and are having trouble finding peace in the midst of it. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand why we experience the things we do, but be assured that the Lord is faithful to all thos

For most Christians, devout and otherwise, churches have always been an activity that they look forward to. Nonetheless, since the pandemic struck, a lot of church activities have been relegated to virtual gatherings. In fact, the virtual world has made following religion so much simpler, that a user can simply provide followers access to a secured portal of sermons and prayers from the comfort of their homes. While technology has changed the way we live life, on the whole, d

The Sabbath rest contains some super-charged keys to ascend above the difficulties of today. Watch your family reach its complete destiny by rediscovering the position that the Sabbath rest ought to hold in your life. Make good use of the following 6 Sabbath principles. 1) It Was Applicable Then and It's Applicable Now Consider this - we'll just completely belittle the 4th Commandment and yet still presume to see all God' blessings showered out upon us. And please don't get c

Most Christians go to bed every night with I John 1:9 on their minds: "If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (KJV). It's a beautiful passage except for this: it makes SIN-focused. As I say in another of these in this series, if we see ourselves as sinners -- even if saved by grace -- our thought is that we are sinners. A sinner can't see his righteousness in Christ. This article is in two parts: "Y

God, as we all know, is immutable. Similarly the God’s word too is unchangeable. In Matthew 24:35, the Lord Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." We read in the Old Testament, "Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). The last word of Revelation existed in heaven before the first word in Genesis was ever written. Jesus is the Living Word; the Bible is the Written Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the

There are an incredible amount of benefits of sending your child to a Christian school. While some of the often quoted, negative statistics about government schools should be enough, I have decided to lay out three primary benefits for those who may still need convincing. These three benefits are as follows. One benefit of a Christian school is that your child is raised among fellow Christians. As the old adage goes, “bad company corrupts good character.” By sending your

There's Christian jewelry, and Christian books, and Christian accessories. There are even Christian movies! But Christian shoes? Every pair of shoes a Christian walks in is a pair of Christian shoes, because they're carrying inside them a blessing from God. But if you want to carry that blessing outside as well as inside, consider investing in your own pair of Christian sneakers! What's the difference between Christian shoes and the ones you'd pick up at your local Payless? I

nnThe 5th quality required for us to achieve higher consciousness is POWER. We control our thoughts, feelings, and actions by using our innate inner power. God created us in God's image and likeness and gave us dominion over all things on earth. (Genesis 1) As we awaken to God within us, this inner power is enhanced. In his farewell message to his disciples, Jesus told them: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." (Acts 1:8) In the illustration of you

We could talk about the gift of teaching in terms of skill sets, personality types, and rhetorical styles - but we won't. Not here. nnInstead, using a slightly different approach, let's discuss the gift of teaching in terms of what it is meant to accomplish in the Body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 expands on I Corinthians 12:7 as to the purpose of the spiritual gifts as a whole. We will look at these verses, however, from the specific perspective of the gift of teaching: nn "

nnThe 7th quality required in order to achieve higher consciousness is UNDERSTANDING. Study the illustration of our Divine Self. Intellectual understanding takes place within the physical human being (the figure on the bottom). The intellect cannot lead us to ultimate Truth because it is dependent upon our five physical senses. Thus, to limit our search for Truth to intellectual pursuits is to deny ourselves spiritual understanding. nnNote the middle figure in the Divine Self

I've been seeing the sports media scrambling for features to write since there are still no games being played anywhere that they can report on. A lot of these journalists are getting historic and reflecting back on all-time type lists. I admit that it made my mind wander in a similar direction and for whatever reason it made me think of players who get traded away, yet at some point in time later on in their career ended up coming back to the very team that once traded them

Christmas is the most popular festival in all over the world, which is celebrated with great fervor and a lot of enjoyment. Christmas is considered incomplete with Christmas party because party brings a lot of excitement and enjoyments are seen greatly and honor in this regard. Christmas party ideas can make.

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,nwhich is Christ the Lord;" (Luke 2,11)nn nBethlehem (House of Bread - House of Lahmu) is located about 10 Kilometers (6 miles) southwest of Jerusalem by the hill country of Judea on the way to Hebron.nIt is first mentioned in the Armana letters fourteen centuries BCE. nBethlehem is sacred to all three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.nnBethlehem plays a significant part in the Old Testament, in the hist

"I declare what I have seen in the Father's presence, as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father." (John 8:38) nn"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you." (John 14:15-17)nnJesus definitely expecte

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murderess of the prophets and stoner of those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children, just as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and yet you would not!” (Matthew 23:37)nn nnJerusalem - The Old City WallnnThe Hebrew meaning for “Jerusalem” is dwelling place of peace, foundation of peace, vision of peace, abode of prosperity. Yet, never has Jerusalem seen true peace. nnThe Bible is the story of our spiritual jou

No matter where you look today, the Catholic Church is center stage either on News Media or on the Newspaper banner. Provocative Headlines abound, Will the Catholic Church still be standing after this Priest Scandal? Where amongst the cover-up, lies and deceit, can any truth be found? Will the Catholic Church, need either to close some of their Schools or Church’s to have the money for the victims of this abuse? Where can the victims find Jesus’ Ministry being mirrored by this troubled Church Hierarchy?

“As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us.” (John 17:21) During this Lenten Season, we have walked with Jesus as he showed us, through the major events of his life, how to become One with the Father (our I AM PRESENCE). Initiation means an ever-increasing attunement to the higher levels of consciousness … to the One Truth in all its unfathomable magnitude. Initiation is the realization of how much we do not know and the encouragement to seek mor

Do you realize that that God desires to have an intimate relationship with you? You may be asking yourself, "What does that mean?" It means that the Lord desires that you would know Him in the deepest ways possible. That you would come to know Him personally and to trust, lean with on HIm with your whole heart. The Lord desires that in trusting Him, you would bring every heartache, burden, trouble and need to Him. The incredible thing is that the Lord has created us with the

I am telling the truth in union with Christ-I am not lying, for my conscience, confirms it in the Holy Spirit. I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart, for I could wish that I myself were condemned and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh. They are Israelites. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, acc

Each of us has dreams and desires. Some of them are from our own hearts and minds and others are God given. As we pray and seek Him, He will reveal the things that are of Him. It is these dreams and desires that will give way to reality if we do not give up, but trust Him to bring them to fruition. When the Lord implants a dream or desire in our hearts, it is like a seed being planted in the ground that will give way to a plant. The seed needs time to grow and come to maturat

Have you ever wondered what lies beneath buildings, parking lots and parks? When an original wall of the Erie Canal was discovered in Buffalo, a state agency came up with an ingenious idea for its display. The first part entailed making a parking lot out of the area. But wait, if that wasn’t preposterous enough, the second part was a dilly as well. Display signs on top of the pretty blacktop would explain the rich history under the lot. How unique, paving over actual Erie Canal history!

Christ’s letter to the last church in Revelation 3 seems negative. We like the idea that Christ is knocking at our door, but blind and naked is a bad combination for getting to the door, and naked means we aren’t ready to open, and it also means the loins are not girded with truth, Eph 6:14. “Rich and increased with goods” fits most of western Christianity. We tend to be shaped by common views or authority opinions, without considering why it may not be right. Here are some assumptions that maybe we should consider…

In the Catholic Church, for any woman, the term Created Equal certainly does not have the same meaning as it does for any man. Women are Baptized into the Church, with the same so-called equality as men, yet nothing, in reality, could be further from the truth. They themselves, have a call to serve God, this so-called equality literally vanishes from plain sight. Deception by Catholic Church Hierarchy

The 12th and last quality/power required to achieve Higher Consciousness is LIFE. Life means more than simply existence.nnQuoting Fillmore in LET'S KEEP A TRUE LENT: "Life is a phase of Being, the expression of which manifests as animation, activity, and vigor. The consciousness of eternal life places one in the stream of life that never fails. The whole race needs a spiritual quickening of the life principle; its origin is in the Divine Mind. Life is the gift of God. To thin

Why does it matter to be still? I believe it is because that is how you get in touch with God’s heart and see things a little more from the perspective of God. He says it is simple to do this, just two little words, “Be still.” Yet as little as those words are, we’ve been raised in such a noisy world that silence actually makes a lot of us uncomfortable. If there isn’t background sound, we turn some on fast! And yet God says He is best known in silent times. We have

Today the TV Show “Timeless,” takes its main characters back to a specific moment in History. Being present in a particular Historical time frame affords one with a unique opportunity to meet a famous person. What would your question to Jesus Be? If you were so fortunate to happen upon the person of Jesus Christ, what might you be thinking? Being limited to only one question to ask Jesus, what question might you want to ask? In lieu of both the current Priest Abuse Scandal, along with the century’s old Women Priest Scandal, one question would hardly suffice here.

Even in lieu of factual evidence, when uncovering another side to Mary Mother of God, so many Catholics are reticent to embrace this new reality about Mother Mary. Definitely, Change would be the main part of this equation. Some might be in Fear of taking away or removing in some way, the Mariann image of Mary. This simply is the only way they know, and the way they’re Mothers and Grandmothers before them knew of honoring Mary Mother of God. Contrasting Mary’s two Sides from the Words of Two Different Popes

In our world, today, lies and deceptions seem to be the new norm now. What is the truth? What is real anymore? Where is meaningful, life-affirming truth to be found? For centuries now, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has successively prevented any women’s baptismal rite to become a priest in our Church, by keeping the truth out of sight, along with blatant centuries-old lying to the laity whether man or woman or women religious. This is a hierarchy completely entrenched in keeping any part of the word truth from ever seeing the light of day. Omission of the Truth

Recently the pastor of my church mentioned that during the pastor’s class that she holds each year for young children preparing for baptism, she ask this question of the youngsters… “How many of you would not be coming to church if your parents didn’t make you come?” She said they all responded with a sheepish grin! I would imagine most of us might identify with that grin. Most of us can probably remember a Sunday morning or two when, as a child, we were told we wer

Knowing the role of the Spirit, helps us to understand that we are not alone this life. God has given us Himself through His Spirit. The more we walk with the Lord and trust in Him, the more we learn to lean on His Spirit. To walk in the Spirit means that we continually keep our eyes, ears and attitude in line with what the Spirit is revealing or speaking to us. When He directs us, we should immediately follow and obey His word. We turn away from reacting within ourselves and

It's important to find just the right gift for the people you love when their big days come around. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation or a housewarming, you want a present that's going to say exactly what you want to say, exactly when you want to say it. But finding that perfect gift isn't as easy as it sounds, especially when you're looking for the perfect Christian gifts in a very non-Christian society.rn Fortunately, your choices for Chris

Hope in self leads to disillusion. Is it possible that this is why so many walk around with serious addictions, and although they try everything to break their bad habits, they remain unsuccessful? Is it possible that this is why unhappiness and even suicide are on the rise? Is it possible that this is why so many children and spouses are abandoned? Because the search for self-happiness takes precedence? Is this why so many of us can never be truly satisfied? Because material

I had the privilege last Friday night of being back amongst my friends at the Imam Husain Islamic Centre where we met to grieve the death of the father of my dear friend, Sheikh Mansour Leghaei. And it was good to be back amongst those lovely people, and it was good to a part of the live Skype linkup with Mansour back in Esfahan (in Iran) and it was to once again enjoy the experience of being kissed by an enormous number of bearded men (an experience that [sadly] I just donâ€

"When the day of Pentecost came, all of them were together in one place. Suddenly, a sound like the roaring of a mighty windstorm came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated, and one rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." Yes, it's Pentecost again, my friends – my favorite feast of the Christian ye

There is nothing like being out on a picket line to gauge the real pulse of a particular issue. While I am picketing for Women Priests, I certainly experience a myriad of emotional responses being directed right at me. For the most part, their emotions mirror anger, outrage and even disbelief at what I am doing through my picketing. I have been told I must literally be crazy to do such a thing. I’ve been told to stop talking so that I don’t look more stupid tha I already am.

We finally have baseball back, and at the end of this week both the NBA and the NHL will start back up. For diehard sports fans it has been an absolute test of patience, waiting and wondering if and when all those sports, all those teams, all those athletes would be back in action, doing what they do. Of course still there is the NFL, who has canceled all of the preseason games, and so the nail biting continues for everyone who follows *that* sport too. When we pray to God fo

The 8th quality required for us to achieve higher consciousness is WILL. nnQuoting Fillmore: "The will is the executive power of the mind. The commandments of Jesus teach the Father's will. Those who keep them are therefore at one with the will of God.... We can never fully enter into and abide in heaven , or divine harmony, without surrendering all that makes up the personality, of which the will is the center."nn nnIllustration taken from: C.W.
