Does Reading the Bible Put You To Sleep?
Many people call themselves Christians and yet it appears that they have not ever read through the Bible completely and have a hard time understanding what it is actually saying? Some folks say they do not follow religion at all and that they tried to read the Bible and now consider it a good bed time story because it puts them to sleep.
Shopping For the Perfect ChurchYou can’t separate Christianity from the church. Every Christian needs a church.
If enough people and their greedy Bugs get together to gain as much power and wealth as they can regardless of the consequences to the rest of us and to the earth, and regardless of what others think about them, then the world will be just an awful place to live! And might even burn up!
The Power To Honor And Be HonoredTo Honor oneself and to honor others for who they are. To Honor myself is to respect myself, to pay close attention to my wants and desires. Some say it is Not Spiritual to want and to desire. The Universe is here and has created all this for our use and pleasure. So why not ask and receive?
Seek God And Find His RichesThe word says that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid in Christ. (Colossians 2:3) In order to find God’s wealth that He has for us we will need to seek His wisdom. Wisdom has wealth and riches in her hand. God is not far from us. When we whisper he hears. He greatly desires that we find His path that leads to His abundant treasures. We must seek Him in faith. The book of James says to ask God for wisdom and it shall be given, but we must ask in faith.

With our God self all things are possible.
Often we think that the fulfillment of desires will bring us happiness. It is easy to have the thought that, if we can earn a certain amount of money, then we will have the security and ability to enable us to practice spirituality more. However, often when we fulfill a certain desire, it actually only increases our desire for more material possessions. The nature of desire is that when a desire is fulfilled the more desires we generate.
Why Should Christians Love?Christians should love for God commanded them to do so! “Love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13: 9-10, NIV).
Spiritual Awakening: The Opening of the WayBehind the subtle movements of energy that can alter and transform us inside is God’s light and love. This love does not come to us, today, because we sit in a church, temple, or mosque in order to pray, although these conditions can magnify the experience. It comes to us on the street, in our homes, and in ordinary conversations with others, because it is a time of light and love ascending upon the earth, and change is in the air.
One World: The Movement Toward UnityThe achievement of unity on a global level cannot happen until the supreme value of love is made known to the hearts of people everywhere. This cannot occur as an idea, but must happen as an experience of truth that speaks to the inner knowing, changing a person into one who cannot help but be loving because nothing else seems real, and therefore nothing else is possible. From the place in which we stand today, such a consciousness may seem far away, and yet it is but a slight movement of extension that can allow us as individuals and as…
A Layman’s Commentary on the Gospel of John – Lesson IJohn 1:1-14 – Background. Authorship – the early Church universally accepted the work as written by the Apostle John.
