I am going to ask you a few questions so that you can simply ask yourself where you stand within your heart and mind, to know whether you are being in service or in servitude.

Too many Christans cannot fully live in their present because they are still too bound up in their past. The Bible gives two very powerful verses on the extreme importance that each and every Christian learn how to fully let go of their past so that they can fly into their calls and destinies from the Lord. Learn what these two verses are and how they can help set you free from your hurtful and painful past.

Many of us have been taught that it is wrong to be angry. This thinking weighs heavily in both the sacred and secular domains. Is that thinking right or wrong?

Man is extensively ignorant of the evil that lurks within. We are not cognizant of all the dirt and filth and meanness that reside in our hearts; the supreme deceiver.

Vanity - it’s easy to mask, easy to forget, and easy to justify. We hide it behind dignity and poise. The sins connected to this weakness aren't quite as severe as those associated with pride, gluttony, and lust. But it can eventually lead up to some serious problems. And it can keep us from becoming an instrument of Christ...

Thus, we realize and understand that we cannot escape boundaries. Wherever we go and whatever we do, we encounter boundaries of some type. The boundary that we hear about less often is the boundary between line between time and eternity. Death is the great divide.

I’d like to dispel a few myths. You don’t have to eat mung beans and wear ugly shoes to be spiritual. You can enjoy your physical comforts and wear Jimmy Choos, because, as Marianne Williamson says in Return to Love, “there is nothing pure or spiritual about poverty!”

And then we ask ourselves upon what principles are we allotted our looks. What is it that makes us ugly or attractive or “plain?” What is it that gives us a musical ear or an artistic eye; an affectionate disposition or an uncontrollable temper, a talent for mathematics or skills of language?

The problem with a lot of us is that we suffer from terminal spiritual inertia. The spiritual power God has given us has undergone a critical shortage. We lapse into a state of spiritual bankruptcy. We have no oil in our lamps, no fuel to keep the fire burning.

That we must live with imperfections is a fact of life that cannot be denied. We must come to terms with the silent and perennial truth that the field of human life will always consist of the good, the bad and the ugly coexisting together.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Surely this is a question all of us ask from time to time. Some of Jesus’ listeners asked Him the same question.

A Brief Study of Jesus' flight to Egypt in Matthew 2:13-15

If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. --2 CORINTHIANS 5:17, KJV It may have happened to you at a Billy Graham Crusade. Perhaps it was during a telecast of The 700 Club or during a conversation with a friend. Maybe you were alone with God when it happened. But some-how, someplace deep within, you believed that Jesus of Nazareth, God’s Son, died for your sins and rose from the dead to be your Lord and Savior. Then that belief grew into action, and you called out, “Jesus, I take You as my Savior. I surrender to You. Be the Lord of my life!”

Human beings are blessed with a unique gift: the gift of prayer or petition to the Infinite for our needs. A religious person would call it prayer; others may call it petition or meditation. There is...

The psalms of the Bible are a literary treasure chest of prayers for prosperity. Below is a list of which psalms to recite for common financial requests. In some Catholic and Santeria traditions, you say the prayer or write the prayer out after lighting a candle. You may also recite the prayer as many times as you want to transform it into a kind of a mantra.

Idolatry in all of its many forms retains one consistent principle: it does nothing for the worshipper, provides no power, offers no hope. God has a claim on our hearts, and this claim is exclusive. He yields ground to no other Master, no other god. He wants all of us, so that He can bless us in our totality.

“Listen to the sound
of the river and
you`ll catch a trout.” In Corrogue I am flowing. I write a blessing each morning that I allow as a creation in this heart and mind. This facilitates the practice of allowing. This facilitates the practice of flow. Some say I am a dreamer but I am practiced. I am a practitioner of the art of flow. Simply turning up before these blank pages I practice life facilitation. I let go into the surrender of words and the essence of words. I enter ease. This is the meaning of the word “facilitate.” It means, “to make easy.”
