Tolerance in the Wake of 9-11
This article is simply my views as a religious man in the wake of 9/11 and some of the ridiculous behavior of many through the years. My hopes are that the reader will benefit and understand the points that I will be making.
Prayer and Worship Are the Best Tools During Difficult TimesA common saying heard by many is “The Lord works in mysterious ways.” Well nothing can be more true and yet so confusing. People going through hard times that really have not grasped God’s purpose often question why they are being made to suffer and go through these events. I have found myself there many times asking “Why me?”
When people think of the bible, it is usually a sore subject, this maybe because people automatically think that the bible will condemn them. The truth is that the bible is a very spiritual book, that teaches men how to cleanse them self so that they can properly serve God who created them. Some say that there is only on God, but if we read the bible it says that there are more than one.
Defining the Proper Meaning of Worshiping the LordTo truly benefit from worship, you must understand what worship is and why it is so important. The dictionary describes worship as assigning worth to a person or thing. While that may be worship in its most simple form, it entails much more. Worshiping the Lord also involves the heart. It is not something that is just a ritual or a set of motions.
Creating an Abundance in Life on All LevelsThe Universe by it’s nature is abundant. When we are expressing our natural authentic self we are in a position to experience richness in each aspect of our natural selves.
Are You Worshiping the Lord For the Right Reasons?People often worship the Lord for the wrong reasons and do not see the whole picture. The reason why we should give our praise to him is because he is our creator and made the world that we sometimes take for granted. This is the real reason why we should dedicate ourselves to him and feel privileged to be in his presence. The Lord asks us to worship him even during the toughest times and serve his purpose.
Many are in search of peace: in mind, spirit, relationships. A word study in the scriptures reveals that praise is the catalyst for achieving lasting peace.
Accepting God Into Your Life Will Provide the Additional Strength and Peace You Have Been MissingThere are many skeptics out there that make it a point to say that praying to the Lord and believing in him is silly. They ask, “How can you pray and worship someone that may or may not have existed?” When something is not tangible, it does not mean it never was. Was Picasso not a real person?
In The Words of the Apostle Peter (Part II)Peter, The Cross and Resurrection THE CROSS I followed Jesus as He bore the cross up the hill. I watched as they nailed His hands and feet and lifted him up. Seeing Jesus hanging I remembered the words He spoke,” And if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me.
The Symbolism Behind the Large Ears on Buddha StatuesIt is a common feature of Buddha statues from around the world that they all possess large elongated ears which is seemingly contrary to that of western culture which regards small ears as a thing of beauty. In eastern culture large ears are regarded as being auspicious and thought to indicate both wisdom and compassion. As the Buddha himself is regarded as an exemplar in history and practice as the compassionate one it is natural that depictions of him in art and culture should also be similarly represented.
In the Words of the Apostle PeterLooking through the eyes of Peter Part 1 of 3 We were in the boat one night preparing to go to the other side of the bay. Jesus had sent us away to meet Him later as he finished talking to the people on the shore.While we were on the seas the waters rose up as did the winds.
