- In His graciousness, God has blessed us to enter a new century. When you look back on the years and experiences you had in the last century, you probably wonder why you did not lose your mind. When you think about some of the traumas and extreme challenges you had to contend with, you know you should have had a breakdown or been confined to the rubber room.But God opened doors for you that ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Be thankful
- Some people think just by saying the words thank you is just. Well lets look in at 1Chronicles 16:8 it says Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Futhermore it says in Psalms 100; Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are...

- Most of us think of what a wonderful world this would be if only this or that. Well the Bible says that to follow the words of Jesus Christ and walk in his ways. Are we truly following his words or walking in his ways. Lets see what the Bible says about unity. Let's look at Psalms 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! Since we are not in unity what can we do. Take...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - What can you do in one day
- For it is written in Bible in chapter 2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. So what can we do in one day, or should I say, how do I...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Why worry
- The possibility of almost 400 Old Testament prophesies coming to fulfillment in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, apart from God's sovereign control of history, staggers the imagination. The certainty that God planned the coming of His son into the world can offer stabilizing support to our faith in our Lord.We are living in a day of apprehension which offers nothing certain for us to hang o...

- Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, "Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way." ESTHER 4:15?16, NASBIn this passage, Queen Esther called her people to fast. This act released God's power into the otherwise hopeless situation and miraculously spared the...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Loving your neighbors
- If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1?2One of our goals as lighthouses for Jesus Christ is to love people. One of the most important truths...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - So none of us arrived with an owners manual! a fresh perspective on the drive to lead (part 1)
- So, none of us arrived with an Owner's Manual, neatly referenced to enable us to look up our ails, appreciate where we are, and, understand what is next. We expected its indelible validation to enable us to navigate some of the more fearful and exhilarating moments in our lives.Most of us have a deeply felt need for one to give us the courage to look into a few dark corners and understand w...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Forgiveness- the path to healing & spiritual growth
- The dictionary defines the word forgive as: [to pardon, as to for-give an enemy;to cease to feel resentment for,as to forgive an offense].I have heard people say this many times: "I will never forgive them for what they did!", as if by saying this they are causing harm to the person who hurt them. The reality is that they are doing the harm to themselves alone. As defined in the dictionary,...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Living by faith
- Five verses specify that we are to live by faith. How do you do that? It is like entering a black hole. Those who are in the blackness of night have to feel their way lest they fall into a pit or crash into things. Walking by faith is going through unknown territory. How can you feel comfortable navigating blind? It's like closing your eyes when you are driving at high speed on a congested highway...

- The Mind in an Advanced Thought System:The center of our Thought System, today, is believed to reside in our brain. The brain is thought to be synonymous with our mind. The brain consists of millions of neurons and cells. Data is stored in the cells and transmitted via the neurons to our senses. We think our Thought System works something like this: We absorb data through our senses. The br...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Choose life or death
- No one, not even God can make us choose the right things. He gave us the freedom of choice where our own lives are concerned. Life is full of choices. Many of them which we assume will give us life are really only secondary to what our whole purpose is.The world tells us we need careers, we need education, we need marriage, children, we need to be able to afford the very best of what life h...

- I know eyebrows are probably raising about now, but let me tell you this works ! How does God know what we want or need if we don't get specific and let Him know ?All you have to do and I do this on a monthly basis and update it accordingly is make a list. I make mine like a grocery list and put the title at the top of the list. My title is always "OK God ... This is what I need now ! and p...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Mind, in time and space
- One cannot make a decision in the moment of now. All decisions are made from the past, and then you work in the past to recreate a future that has already passed based on that decision.If it is true that we are creating ourselves and the circumstances of our existence, then were does that existence or experience take place, in the past, present or future?The brain is only a processor...

- Do you know where your current path is taking you?Education, religious upbringing, core family beliefs and friend's values have been shaping your life up to now. You're busy with life, work, partner, kids and socials and have little or no time to stop and think about where you're life is heading. In fact sometimes you hear a tiny voice in your head say, 'I think I'm losing my identity.'...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Gods name... creation and undoing!
- Over the past number of years, while going through my studies and research, information and answers come to the surface that are most astounding. I have come to understand things differently than I was taught in years of Catholic schooling. Although, I still believe in the "bigger picture" and "something greater", it has taken on a different tone and context. It has turned from a fearful system of...

- I had visions of my daughter for about five years before she finally showed up. She turned out exactly like the little girl in my dreams who had haunted me all that time. I was so very glad to see that she was alive and real. I always thought she must somehow be more magical and special then other normal kids.Her older brother had told her about reincarnation when she was only two years old...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Negative disturbances
- Whenever we have the opportunity to make human assessments, the assessments we make will always betray our doctrine of man. We can always glean from what one person has to say about another, their doctrine or philosophy concerning man in general.When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. Matthew 2:3.The comments made here in Matthew focus on the negative...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Enjoy the journey, as there isnt a destination
- Do you spend your time working towards that "one day when?."? One day, when I have enough money I will be happy. One day, when I have the house paid off, I will be able to relax and enjoy myself more. One day, when I get a better job???. These may all seem like good destinations and desires. But when we live in this way we are 'future living'. Waiting to live the life we have always wanted sometim...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Whatd we miss?
- Did we just overlook the amount of love that God has for us?His word, shown in the written form we call the Bible, tells us things that He did to show us that He loves us. Did we realize it or did we overlook it and walk away?In Hebrews 11:1 we are told that our faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)Hope moves into faith...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Why jesus?
- There are many contradictions in life and none more easily seen than when contrasting how God teaches us to live by His Word, the Bible, and how we are taught in the world, the school of hard knocks.For instance the classic for me was to 'look after number one', because nobody else was going to look after me. How different this is compared to God's way where He says, look after others and H...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Pursuing your destiny
- During my childhood days, I disliked Lenten season because radio and TV stations were off the air (no cable yet during the 70's) and food is limited to veggies and fish. Likewise, I was taught that holy week (1) is a time to be sad (at least in Manila), the elders then are singing the passion in a sad tune. (2) I was also told to "be careful" because God is "dead" (as if all forces of hell is turn...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Motivated by all the wrong reasons
- Sometimes trying to be spiritual holds us back from actually living the spiritual life we want. In our quest to live such spiritual and good lives, we often avoid the stuff that makes us seem unspiritual, even if that very stuff can move us toward our own spiritual growth.Spiritual seekers are well aware of the power of intention. We know that it is the thought behind the action that is mor...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Love and light
- Seems that everyone who writes to me signs their letters "love and light." It has such a bright uplifting sound to it. Lightworkers are being taught to hold the energy of the light and to equate love with a warm white light that heals and protects. After what feels like an age of suppression and darkness, it all sounds like such a refreshing change, much like the first bits of sunlight after a lon...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Life gets teejus, don?t it?
- Those five words are from a song that I remember hearing a long time ago. It may even be the song's title. I dunno. For those of you who don't speak casual English, the word "teejus" can be translated to "tedious". Somehow it just doesn't have the same impact though. I think I'll just stick with teejus?Life does have a tendency to get teejus, doesn't it? Sometimes it's o...

- Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?" -George Bernard ShawThat was the moment that changed his life! Michael would never be the same again. That Sunday morning in church, Michael had a revelation. The preacher, Father Robert was talking about the purpose of our life. He said that unless and until we find out why we are here, we...

- Before Donna was born she took with her a dollar, Peter took with him a pen and Harry brought along a hammer. These were the only significant things that these people brought with them into their physical lives from birth.All of us before we are born bring with us the most useful thing that we could imagine that would work for us in the physical world. It was our desire to experience a spec...
