Terrestrial Life (The Temporal Presence)

I have gained new insights from a recent dream that I had about a woman of a past relationship. In the terrestrial Presence that relationship started out great but ended in a disaster, all due to me. In this dream that I was having of this woman we were united in a bond of felicity and harmony. In this dream, we were both young, healthy, and beautiful. In this dream, we had concerns that we had to address and we dealt with these issues as a cohesive coalition.

They had never met God and they had never made their peace with God. Amos is saying, now get ready to meet Him in a way you never thought you would ever meet Him. God’s patience has its limits. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Amos speaks about how mighty our almighty God is, and who our almighty God is. He is the Creator.His word to the people is ‘Seek Me and live’. Come to God and live. Come to God for saving secure safe wholesome life! They thought they had come to God. They thought they were all right, but that was not so. For Israel, they were pleased to go to the place of worship and visit the so-called holy places, offering sacrifices and observing the traditional rites and rituals. For Amos the man of God, worship involved obedience to His law, making His Will one’s own, living in communion with Him, and behaving compassionately and morally.

Not Your Clubhouse

We live in the information age. Technology has made communication universal. That means that we are bombarded with messages from individuals and from those who want to sell us something. If we are not wholly “me focused” naturally, we receive way too many daily messages to make us this way. This distraction can make us miss something important and special.

Youth Ministry Object Lesson – Spiritual Tag

Our spiritual walk is in many ways like a game of tag. There are three key components to any game of tag: 1) You chase or pursue 2) You flee or run away 3) People get tagged. Spiritually, because of our disobedience to God we are tagged as sinners. And like those in the game we are stuck in our current position and unable to break ourselves free. Only when Jesus frees us are we able to be truly free. Unfortunately, sin often touches our lives again and we find ourselves back in the same condition. Because of this the Bible gives us a number of things we should flee. But at the same time it gives us things we should chase after, things we must pursue. So are you ready for a game of tag?

God showed me something at the shopping mall. Every individual was beautiful before me; every unique soul, living a matchless life, in the service of hope, for a purpose they determined as best. As I looked everywhere, all about me was the same image; myriads of people, all beautiful, all beloved, all bearing the same resemblance. And as I looked, God did something in my heart; all indifference, intolerance, and cynicism ebbed away, and with it, all vanity. Suddenly, my heart was so full of love, my mind had no space for anything else.

Tantric Peace in the Face of Violence

Peace in the world starts with ourselves first. When we learn to find inner peace, we can then start to create global peace. Most of us are not able to leave our lives and go become activists or join a movement. However, by setting an example in our communities we can create a ripple effect that shows others how to be at peace as well.

Age of the Soul

Think about going for a photoshoot where you will be modelling for clothes. Summer clothes, winter clothes, men wear, women wear, sometimes even modelling for animals.
