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. Many of us were spending as though there was no tomorrow, investing our money without fully understanding or paying attention to the risks we were exposing ourselves to, and not saving enough for the rainy day that we know always comes.nnI heard a minister speak recently about the need to c

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

Taking a stroll in a posh Delhi market, waiting for some friends for a fancy dinner. While talking about the luxury cars and homes; planning to work out ideas to get those glossy, expensive breezers on the porch of our future luxury home, me and my husband came across a street kid on the pavement, sitting next to a kiosk hugging a stray dog so tightly with so much love and tears in his eyes that the emotions could be seen spilling all over. He kept on asking the dog again and

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. In essence, Ignatius had seen his impending death as an opportunity and honor to die like Jesus Christ. Hence, this act of martyrdom comforted Ignatius in his final moments beca

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

One of the sacred cities that exist in India includes the name of Ujjain. It is because of its rich heritage and culture that everyone knows about Ujjain in India and in other parts of world. Ujjain is really a religious city and a must visit place. Ujjain is famous city of Madhya Pradesh. Ujjain city is situated on the west-central part of India. It is the city with historical as well as geographical importance as a prime meridian passing from India passes from the Ujjain ci

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? The fact that Jesus himself has taught his disciples its words should give us pause and lead us to approach it wit

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

World systems theory strengths and weaknesses .Among international analysts there is a consensus that the world that begins to take shape after the end of the cold war is a qualitatively different world order.

One happens to get murdered, for his circumstances had to be like that; it was destined to be so. It is not possible for a common man like us to know where a person has left for, after his death. But yes, our prayers certainly reach him, so we must pray for his peace. When we pray for him, we send out good vibrations, which make him feel happy wherever he is. Whenever you remember him, ask Lord to grant him peace, and pray that he progresses well on the path of spiritual deve

How often have you asked for assistance, signs, insight, clarity…only to feel confused when the outcome is contrary to what we received? This happens to all of us – lately I have been asking for signs, confirmation, from my angels and guides to remind me that the messages I am getting are true and accurate – yet the outcome appears to be the same. This can cause some doubt, but one thing I have been learning is faith – keeping faith in the process. nnThis may not be a

One of the most essential parts of Christianity lies in recognizing the fact that Jesus Christ was divine. And one of the ways in which his divinity is proved by scholars in the Bible is to emphasize the several miracles that Jesus in academic circles, are oftentimes categorized according to the act that was carried out. Hence, miracles which involves conquering physical barriers are considered miracles of nature, those wherein Jesus cast out demons are known as exorcisms, an

Christian Movies have always been an essential part of society. It has been providing a positive and good impact on the teenage mind. In recent times, people have been frustrated with the old stuff and negative content shown in the generic movies. It has impacted various innocent minds and affected the mental state of people. This is why movies based on Christianity have been becoming an essential part in growing of the positive and Christian devoted content. They provide a m

Many Christians freeze up when they hear the word "evangelism." They say things like, "I can't share my faith!" "I don't know what to say!" "Where do you begin?" "It's so complicated!" But in fact, it's not complicated at all. It begins and ends with a Person ... the Person who is at the heart of the gospel and the core of our faith: Jesus Christ. Consider the first verses of the book of Romans: "Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the g

That joyous colors of Indian culture, the lights at the temples, the decorations at home and the prosperity for the devotees; come along the nine festive nights in the month of October or March.

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

In a village nestled in the mountains, there lived two dogs named Sheru and Tommy in a large mansion of Chaudhary Sahib. Both of those dogs were very attached to each other. There was no rest without seeing each other. Sometimes playing with each other and sometimes licking each other.rnRunning all day and running around, sometimes rolling on green grass, sometimes racing with flying birds.

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.

The word God is something that countless religions and individuals have sought to define for millennia. In the English language, those three letters connote a serious tone and strong opinions- worship and reverence… anger and discontent. It has brought many people together- united in a common understanding, in a common faith. And it has driven countless people from one another- divided in the idea that there version is somehow superior than another. Many of us walk the midd

"It happened that when Moses raised his hand, Israel grew stronger, and when he lowered his hand, Amalek was stronger (Exodus 17:11)." "Was it Moses' hands that won the battle or lost it? Rather, as long as Israel looked heavenward and subjected their heart to their Father in Heaven, they would prevail (Rosh Hashanah 3:8)." Sounds beautiful, but who was watching Moses' hands? It couldn't have been the soldiers engaged in battle; "Can we please pause our sword fight so I can l

Hajj is the pilgrimage to the Makkah in the Saudi Arabia, is a central duty of Muslims. It can be traced back to the era of prophet Abraham A.S. For fourteen centuries, countless millions of Muslims, men and women from each and every corner of the earth, have made the pilgrimage to Makkah, the birthplace of Islam. While fulfilling this obligation, they comply with one of the five "pillars" of Islam, or central religious duties of the believer. Here I am, O God, at Thy Command

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

Cancer: The Problem Cancer can start any place in the body ( in the lungs, the breast, the colon, or even in the blood) . It starts when cells grow out of control.

Biography of sai baba Quite a while prior, toward the start of eighteenth century a youthful hairy man with shimmering eyes took cover in a mosque, in Shirdi Village (of Maharshtra State, In India).

What is Superstition? Superstition means a blind, wrong faith. Superstition is a result of ignorance. Owing to lack of knowledge to reason out why certain incidents occur, one adopts the widely accepted irrational beliefs that have been in practice for years together, generation after generation. Superstitions give rise to fear; the fear that something wrong will happen if not done according to said belief.rn rnEven in today’s modern age, living in the world of science and

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

The most unique feature about the Chhath Puja is the main idea behind it which is above the disputed concept of Murti Pujan (Idol Worshipping) unlike most of the festivals of the Hindu religion. In simple terms, Sun is the source of life for possibly every creature on this planet earth and this festival is just a way to pay tribute to that life support system irrespective of caste, creed, gender and social stigmas. Isn’t that unique, simple and binding? The uniqueness in the

(Kings II Chapter 25) “It happened in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylonia, he and his entire army, came to wage war against Jerusalem and encamped near it, and built a siege tower around it.” Jeremiah had been prophesying the arrival of a storm from Babylon for years.

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.

A tragic event took place last week. A man by the name of Jason William Schultz was sitting and waiting at a bus stop in Southern California when he was struck by an elderly driver who lost control of his car. A fireman at the accident site spoke with a witness…a woman was there with Schultz. The woman described how Schultz was enjoying a cup of coffee and said to her, “This is the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had, you should get some.” The moment of Schultz’s death

I find myself in a very dry place now Lord. My mind races with fearful experiences from days past. I can't seem to live in the 'now' moment.' Anxiety has raised its ugly head to ruin another day. I read a Christian book, read your Word, pray everything that weighs heavy on my heart, but I go to bed restless, toiling in my mind about tomorrow. Why do I allow myself to worry, you're already there...in tomorrow. How can my laying awake until four in the morning make the slightest bit of difference in tomorrow's outcome?

Where do we move on from here?

How To Save Marriage When You Have Religious Differences: Couples With Different Religious Beliefs When two individuals get married they are combining families along with all of the traditions, joys, sorrows and prejudices that are part of their family's heritages.

Why does a Creator exist? - Before we dwell on this question, let us first analyse the meaning of the word ‘Creator’. ‘Creator’ has been borrowed in its derived form from Latin, wherein the ending "-tor" means ‘one who does it’, and the word ‘creare’ means ‘to make or bring forth’. Numerous things that we come across in this world, we often wonder, “How did this come into being? Who must have first created this?” isn’t it? rnAnd if we are adamant to

There is a prevailing aphorism that goes like, "faith is love." There are seconds in our lives when we couldn't seem to be so certain of ourselves. And then we try to ask for other person's counsel and they sound to be not pertinent. Then we find out that the answer lies deep within ourselves. Our faith. It's not handed down, nor bought, but sought after and granted by Someone higher than us. It is in the silent corner of our room where we can find and communicate with Him, t

When our forefathers stepped on our shores in the 1600's they were seeking to separate themselves from an oppressive government and establish a place where they could experience religious freedom. Somewhere in our very short existence of 239 years we have seriously lost that vision.r

We are often told that exercising, eating healthy and talking to a loved one can reduce your stress levels. But did you know that there could be a connection between spirituality and stress relief?

Since time immemorial it has been accepted that spirituality and foundation are the basis for cultural factors that define experiences

In the book of Genesis the man named Cain slew his brother Abel, because he was jealous that God had honored Abel's offering, but he didn't respect Cain's offering and Cain became distraught and angry with God and towards his brother.

he dog house you intend to buy will largely depend on the breed of dog you have. There is an exciting range of dog houses to choose from at various price ranges.
