Sai Baba taking sufferings up on Himself
2012-05-03 23:59:00
Om Shri Sadguru SaiNathatya Namaha! Sai Baba taking pain upon Himself for the sake of His devotees welfare In G.S. Khaparde's diary, it is mentioned that Sai Baba once pointed out His body and said that His body got emaciated, His digestion impaired, His food reduced to bare bread and water(due to looking after worries of innumerable devote-es), and yet in spite of these He must go on doing His duty, whatever the consequences.  Such is the Eternal love and Compassion of SadGuru Sai Baba. In Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 7 we can read two examples of Sai Baba suffering for the sake of His devotees. In the first incident Sai Baba was sitting near the Dhuni, the sacred fire in revered Dwarkamai, wh-ich burns 24 x 7 since He lighted it. A close devotee of Sai Baba Shama, noted that the Protector Sai thrust His hand in the sacred fire of Dhuni. The hand got scorched. Shama immediately pulled back the Merciful Baba. He asked the Holy One, "De...
How do you go to Shirdi?
2012-04-30 21:14:00
Om Shri SaiNathaya Namaha! How do you go to Shirdi? Obviously the question asked is not about the physical or gross means like  do you go by air plane?, train?, or road?, or car? or walking? or perhaps on a bicycle (devotees do reach by all these means). It is about our mental attitude. So this article also implies to how you go to any local temple of Sai Baba or the temple sacred space in your home. As it appeared on Sai Baba says blog, Sai Baba himself once said People do ask for abundance of wealth and prosperity, or for the cure of disease, removal of difficulties, or for fame, honour, power and authority. It is happiness they always ask for. Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 16 verse 40. So, the above given reasons are the chief reasons for most of us to get attracted to Shirdi or Sai Baba. We mostly go there with reasons of our own.  The reasons we think would would bring about happiness or do away with problems and troubles. Or we might think certain spiritua...
Thankful Thurday ~ Continue to Praise Him

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1 ESV) I love reading the Psalms, especially those penned of David. No matter what David encountered, most of his Psalms praise the Lord. David did not look at his circumstances, but lifted his praise to the Lord. ...

He Is Risen?And I can?t Keep Quiet!
2012-04-08 18:25:00
I love Easter! It always makes me giddy and I can’t keep quiet about it either! The Good News of Christ’s Resurrection is the best news ever to mankind. As one of our pastors said this morning at the Sunrise service: “Every Sunday is a ‘mini Easter’”. How true that is. May we celebrate His ...
Jesus Died for All
2012-04-06 15:00:00
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV) At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty. At the time crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be ...

Jesus said to her, ?I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?? She said to him, ?Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who ...

“And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, ?Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.?” (Luke 22:41-42 ESV ~ emphasis mine) Many times I pray short prayers; prayers for family or friends. I pray throughout the day; ...

It?s Class and Practice, Stupid!
2011-12-21 17:00:00

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! (Psalm 37:7 ESV) The other night as I was working on portraits for a client, I noticed the orange hue hitting our back window. I knew ...

I love being a dad. One of the greatest accomplishments in my life is that I am the father of four amazing boys. One of my new struggle as a parent has been letting a son go into the Army, not because I didn’t want him to go, but because I won’t see or hear ...

The kiss of Shirdi Sai Baba
2011-04-29 20:36:00
Om Sadguru Shri Sainathaya Namaha ! I would have never dreamt of writing a blog post with this title on    this blog. But have to do it, after getting a comment on the last post  Intense love is all that Sadguru or the God wants on the facebook and replying to the comment. Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba, of devotees where they feel Baba?s presence always fascinates me. In last post it is mentioned that a contemporary devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba, Mahali who had deep spiritual love for her Sadguru Sai Baba, had a dream vision in which Sai Baba kissed her cheek before giving her the message. Now the comment on the facebook from a Sai Baba devotee, Neeraja Nimmagadda, where the last post was linked. It goes, ?Jai Sairam! My life too changed from 2004, when I came to know about Sai Deva for the very first time! For me He is more than 200% true and alive! Without Him, I am nothing. Thank U Alpesh for this soul touching leela!!!! Baba too came in my dream and kissed my ...
Christianity and the Human Rights
2011-04-11 00:29:00
I am reading a fascinating book by Tim Keller called “The Reason for God”. In it Keller makes a rational and calm attempt to explain the practice of Christianity and some of its most important historical underpinnings. Here is an excerpt I really wanted to share: p.64 A deep stain on Christian history is the ...
Thank God for Tim Minchin.
2011-04-09 13:23:00
…and Don Miguel Ruiz. I’ve now been living my life for many years by following Ruiz’s Four Agreements. First published in 1997, this book helped me to reinforce the logic and way of thinking I’d been developing through my own maturity and put it into four simple concepts that I could follow for life. Agreement ...
Apologetics
2011-03-29 22:43:00
I was struck by this post, called An Open Apology, which Joe also read in church this week. He essentially proposes that the best form of apologetics is apologizing – demonstrating that God is real by apologizing up front for the things people have done in his name, rather than by careful reasoning and arguments ...
Is Morality the Goal?
2010-12-10 18:19:00
I found this quote today, attributed to Gandhi: “The message of Jesus as I understand it, is contained in the Sermon on the Mount unadulterated and taken as a whole. If then I had to face only the Sermon on the Mount and my own interpretation of it, I should not hesitate to say, ‘Oh, ...
Chunks of Brain
2010-10-29 22:29:00
Friday, 4pm. I am lonely at my job. That is not my job’s fault. I want more out of life, that is the problem. What I want out of life is not the big, life-dream, I-was-made-for-this-moment event. I want connection. And reality. Something meaningful to someone else, or several someone elses. This week I thought ...
God Sent His Very Best
2010-10-18 15:54:00
God’s plan to save you and I wasn’t a last minute ditch effort. It wasn’t drawn up in the sand like some hail-mary to pull out a win at the end. No, the Father’s plan to save you and I was a perfectly planned out event that came to be LONG before the world was even ...
All Things Work Together for My Good?
2010-07-15 20:22:00
One of the most common Bible verses that gets quoted is, ?all things work together for good for those who love God? (Romans 8:28). At least that?s the one people give me. Unfortunately the theology of this verse has been lost in the whole mentality of self; a poor theology.
First Impressions

After many months deep in thought and deliberation I’ve decided this blog needs a makeover. Actually there was very little thought and deliberation involved at all; it was instead a collection of observations over the last year or so that the topics and ruminations I’ve typically explored on this blog over the last two and ...
The Quiet Weeding Out Of Sathya Sai Baba?s Embarrassing Statements
2010-05-06 02:03:00
The official Sathya Sai 'weeders' have removed the presence on the internet of major Sathya Sai Baba claims. These are of the sort bound to attract prompt dismissal in the minds of many enquirers. An extremely wide cross-section of any public, except those of his own fold, would regard his claims as stemming from megalomania. And it is those enquirers - and the money and skill-sets that successful recruitment can bring - that Sathya Sai Baba's organization desperately needs as donors if it is to continue to pay its astronomical bills. What to speak of subsidizing his promise to rule the world before he leaves it, circa 2022! It should be noted that the huge claims have not, in and of themselves, been withdrawn. But they are being kept as in-house as possible. Secular fronts like his 'Education in Human Values' and 'Educare' have been developed, which aim to penetrate schools, universities and and other mainstream institutions. But the tall claims are an absolute article of ...
What is the Point of Life?
2010-03-26 12:36:00
Today I received a personal invitation from Aim for Awesome to share my thoughts on “The Point of Life”. Vern said it could be “two sentences, or two pages – up to you”. Anybody who could so profoudly sum up the answer to this question in two sentences is a better person than me. To ...
The concept of God and evil are incompatible
2010-03-23 01:57:00

A Newborn?s Conversation With God
2009-12-30 06:37:00
I received this from a friend a work some months back.  I love this. A Newborn’s Conversation With God: A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God said, “Your angel will be waiting for you ...

A Tangible Reminder by Mary Byers Last year I read Me, Myself, & Bob: A True Story About Dreams, God, and Talking Vegetables by Phil Vischer, creator of the Veggie Tales video series.

The Bible of Militant Atheism
2009-10-28 03:48:00
Contrary to the mainstream religious belief, incredulity and skepticism regarding the ultimate nature of truth, existence of God and eschatological claims of scripture is not an entirely modern phenomenon. In his famous thought experiment Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, Ibn Tufayl the famous Muslim philosopher of 12th century Spain, aesthetically described discovery of God as the “joy ...

I read Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love the better part of a year ago, and I’m going back through it now with our small group. It’s a short book and a quick read, but I think I’ll always be measuring my life by some of the standards it touches on. Reading it alone the first ...

Part 2: Crossan on the Meaning of Christ?s Sacrifice
2009-08-06 18:16:00
The following is excerpted from John Domonic Crossan?s book, ?God and Empire?: “THE MEANING OF SACRIFICE” Apart from narrativity, let alone historicity, there is the deeper question of the theology within which Jesus’s execution is understood then and now by Christian believers. For The Passion of the Christ and millions of Christians, it was a theology of ...

Thank God, I will get a view of the Battle of Armageddon from the grand stand seats of the heavens. All who are born again will see the battle of Armageddon, but it will be from the skies (Carl McIntire, 1965) What then should be the believer’s attitude to the destruction of the world by fire? ...
The Gospels and Anti-Semitism
2009-07-21 00:15:00
In his book, ?God and Empire?, John Dominic Crossan makes a good case for the claims that the popular portrayals of Jesus’ passion is at the root of anti-Semitism: The residents of the Bavarian village of Oberammergau have staged a Passion Play every decade on the decade and also on special anniversaries in gratitude for protection ...

34 Psalms In 34 Days: Psalm 46
2009-06-03 18:46:00
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of ...
Sitting Where Angels Stand
2009-06-03 01:57:00
Good thoughts from David Mathis… What?s more impressive than standing in God?s presence?  Sitting?and doing so at the right hand. An angel said to John the Baptist?s father: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God” (Luke 1:19).  That?s noteworthy. But more so is what Hebrews says about Jesus:  “After making purification for sins, he sat ...

Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.
