Why ?Talk Radio? is Stupid
2007-10-10 06:07:00 “Talk Radio ” - it has made quite a niche for conservative-minded folks, who often spend a good deal of time on the road for their employment. I heard something just earlier tonight from a fill-in on the “Michael Savage” show in the 7pm-10pm EST block who was arguing with some Muslim guy who ...

The ?Secret? Law of Attraction
2007-09-30 22:00:00 Is it real? Yes. Does it work? Absolutely. Can anyone do it? Without a doubt. I stumbled across this “law” in poking around the Internet, just looking around for something spiritual to catch my eye. When I found it, I discovered there are quite a lot of people who ...

Don?t forget to remember
2007-09-25 03:44:00 Sometimes, especially when we have numerous responsibilites, we forget. We forget about the simplicity of God, and about our own role in the universe. We lose sight of the fact that we would “be” where we need to be if we would just stop trying so damned hard to “get there.” ... More About: Life , Culture , Faith
Are We There Yet?
2007-08-21 06:14:00 It’s kind of like trying to find a flat edge on a perfect sphere. People seek to define God, or else prove it doesn’t exist - neither of which is possible. That’s the nature of our higher power. Still, we scrutinize and analyze, working to understand the “true” nature of whatever ... More About: Life , Culture , Faith
What will you do?
2007-08-02 00:08:00 While there are pockets of sanity and peace around the globe on which we live, there is a rumbling culture of violence and frustration infecting the humans on this planet. Globalization is unearthing the grim reality of this culture in all its forms and shoveling it to us as fast or faster than ... More About: Life , Culture , Faith
Do what you will?
2007-07-21 03:08:00 Wiccans believe their religion to be the oldest religion - worshippers of nature, magic(k), life, and the Goddess from which all things are created. While I’m not sure that this “oldest religion” just happened to “resurface” in the 1930’s, it is hard to find fault with the Wiccan creed: “An’ it harm none, ...

Was Jesus anti-Capitalist?
2007-07-21 01:29:00 When it comes to money (or any symbol of wealth), a great many people get confused - not only about how to manage it, but the sheer morality of it. In fact, there is such a large market of confusion when it comes to finances for the spiritually inclined, that there are hundreds ... More About: Jesus , Culture , Faith , Debate , Anti

The Modern Church - The Modern Pharisees?
2007-07-15 18:50:00 The recent headlines about Pope Benedict (aka Joseph Ratzinger) of the Roman Catholic church calling Protestant churches not “true churches” bring to light the big question. All churches believe that they worship the right God, right? So, who is right? If you want to find God, you have to go find it. ... More About: Church , Culture , Faith , Debate , Modern
Casting Crowns - Who Am I?
2007-07-15 04:14:00 These are powerful words, put to music by Casting Crowns in a song titled, Who Am I ? --- Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You're Chorus: I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean A vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours, I am Yours More About: Music , Casting Crowns
Let?s get physical.
2007-07-15 03:24:00 Life is created of matter. Our skin, our hair, our bones, our brains - all built of the same stuff. The miracle is in the way the “dust” we live in can adjust and adapt and be formed into living, breathing organisms with personality and spirit. The spirit inside us goes ...

Awesome photo
2007-07-14 15:43:00 I stepped out on the deck the other evening right about sunset after a good afternoon thunderstorm, and as I looked overhead the sky was a radiant blue - the kind of blue you only see in the sky at dusk. Directly above me, in the middle of this sea of electric blue, ... More About: Photo , Health , Life , Culture , Faith
Our Father who art in Heaven
2007-07-04 02:25:00 I think a lot of people get hung up on the imagery of this statement. It conjures up this image of a great, bearded man sitting on high looking down on people. You know - looks a lot like Moses from ABC’s “Ten Commandments.” For me, I have a hard time seeing the ... More About: Culture , Faith , Study , Heaven , Debate
God is love.
2007-06-27 05:01:00 It cannot be stated more simply. If we want to get connected with the one higher power existing in this universe, we should learn to love and be loved. Not the worldly, self-centered, tangible ways people too loosely associate with the word “love” - the unconditional, do-anything-for-you, giving, selfless, caring, shirt-off-your-back kind ...

Total hopelessness
2007-06-20 03:26:00 “What the atheist faces is an excellent definition of total hopelessness.” - C. A. Jones, Jr. What an awesome statement - this quote is from a little-known author; a scientist by trade, and esoteric philosopher. So esoteric, in fact, that he does not often talk about his philosophies. This statement sums up the single, main difference among ... More About: Life , Culture , Faith , Debate , Total
A Real Father.
2007-06-17 15:43:00 In the trinity of human life, the Father is the loving, guiding force from which we are all born - the higher power which courses through our existence.

Winds of change
2007-06-15 04:11:00 Life changes. God stays the same. People come and go, but the higher power does not change. Through countless lives, experiences, beliefs, and judgments, the spirit which unites all life is just as it was in the beginning. Get back to what you feel is real. Forget what you think you know.

Letter to the President. . .
2007-06-14 06:29:00 Dear President , George W. Bush, I am not at all in favor of the current Immigration Bill you are trying to convince Congress to pass.

Step out of your skin.
2007-06-12 23:35:00 This is a tough skill to learn - to be objective about one’s self. However, if someone could truly master it… When we learn to see our own situation from a third-person perspective, we see the world differently.

Thanks a lot!
2007-06-12 23:18:00 Did you ever stop to think about how much you appreciate people? Did you ever stop to think about how good it feels to be appreciated?

Final World War.
2007-06-10 17:25:00 This is it. We are here. It is hiding itself under religion, but the war between right and wrong is here, and it’s as real as it gets. “Western” and “Eastern” cultures are at war with each other, and it has become a war between the “prosperous” and the “persecuted.” If you do not want to be destroyed, ...

2007-06-07 03:31:00 Gone are the days when folks supported each other. No longer do we strive to improve our communities, but we strive to better ourselves instead.

World takeover? Ask a lawyer.
2007-06-06 02:54:00 When is the last time you heard of a politician who wasn’t a lawyer?

Atheists thank Jesus?

Do we really understand the Trinity?
2007-05-31 01:08:00 Christianity has pushed the idea of God in the form of a trinity for millennia, but people have mostly missed the concept. “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit” - this is the trinity.

The problem with religion.
More articles from this author:2007-05-28 22:30:00 Religion is structured, idealistic, and conforming. It makes people comfortable to have a defined curriculum of how to connect with God - not that any curriculum is correct. We are not designed to be slaves of religion, but friends of God; motivated by the purposes of the higher power. Christ understood this, evidenced by the ...
