1. Ham
   I am cursed. But boy am I hung. Some blame the African slave trade and the conquest of Canaan on me. Those poor fisherman from Crete. After the Greek-Dorian conquest in1200 BC and that these Minoans fled by sea to the Libyan coast and from there tried to gain a foothold in Egypt and failed and then went on to Canaan where they arrived just about the time that the israelites moved in. But they got their first! All of this just because I know when to call a spade a spade. 40 days and 40 nights. Ac…



2. Origin of Certain Thoughts (Part II) By Isaac Nwokogba
   Continued from "Origin of Certain Thoughts, Part I"If you haven’t experienced any near misses, you may have at least heard or read about them. When people describe their near misses, they say things such as “The bullet missed my heart by just a few inches,” or “I was only a few feet away from the car that crashed into the crowd,” or “Had I not turned around, I would have been killed.” Are these misses luck, coincidence, or some power at work? I think you know the answer.And how about the meeti…



3. Astrology An Introduction - How To Understand Ourselves Better
   Astrology is not a modern invention dating back only a few years, it dates back as far as recorded history and has fascinated man ever since. Astrology is essentially about the interaction between the Planets, the various Signs of the zodiac and how they shape our personalities. The relationships between all these inputs and their interactions are based on mathematics, and Astrology is the study of these mathematical cycles. The forces between the planets involved in Astrology can be su…



4. Praying for Self-Confidence
   There are many different aspects involved in creating our sense of self-confidence. Most of us are quite aware of the big obvious pieces like whether or not our childhoods created a strong foundation to build upon or not. We know that a string of broken hearts can begin eroding what confidence we may have had and that a loving supportive spouse can be our greatest asset in the belief that we can do anything we set our minds to. We know that succeeding at our goals also adds a wonderfully rich la…



5. Trust in God By Dawn Fields
   Ecclesiasts 5:18 Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him-for this is his lot. 19 Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work-this is a gift of God. 20 He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.Finding your li…



6. Christianity - Not a White Man's Religion By Michael Tummillo
   Christianity: White man's religion?Martin Luther King referred to Sunday as being "the most segregated day in America."Truer words were never spoken.A few years ago I was preaching and, Lord, help me, my opening words were, "Look around. What do you see? I see a church full of white people." The Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and others.... they'd all been there, but we had holes in our net and hadn't been able to keep 'em. Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is like a net, catching ALL kinds of fis…



7. The "S" Word By Saundra L. Washington
   We all sin. To avoid using the "s" word, we may call it by other less penetrating names; politically correct names. But sin by any other name remains what it is, sin. It is not uncommon for man to blame external causes and conditions for our troubles and sicknesses, while all the time the real trouble is sin.One of the greatest problems we face today is that of controlling the absurd, the insane in human nature which tend to defy complete control. We observe this in acts of violence, extreme a…



8. God’s Presence When Troubles Come By Saundra L. Washington
   Life, no matter how we choose to look at it, is a constant battle. It is the beginning of a struggle that continues until we breathe our last breath.It is important then that we understand from the outset that one of the first realities we must face in life if we are to survive this pilgrimage of faith is that troubles are a given. We have to fight daily just trying to live in this rapidly changing world. Sometimes the burdens can be so heavy, the criticism so severe, the opposition so great, …



9. Why Is Your Prayer Of Faith Lacking Results? By David Hopkins
   About a month ago I opened up my bible in boredom trying to see if the lord had a word for me. Well, it just so happened that I landed in first kings the page with chapter three right there just staring me in the face. So I thought, "Alright God lets see what word you have for me today." and I began to read first kings chapter three. It didn't take long until I got to the part about how God came to King Solomon in a dream and said, "Ask what I shall give thee".I remember thinking, "Wow, Solom…



10. The Salmon in Northwest Native Indian Artwork and Culture
    There are several species of salmon fish in the Pacific Northwest region. These are the Coho, Sockeye, Pink, Chum, Atlantic and the largest which is the King or Chinook. Salmon are born in the rivers and swim down to the ocean where they live in the saltwater. At spawning time, they return to the river where they were born, lay the eggs, and then die. The young hatch and start the life cycle over again. Salmon fish have always been an important mainstay food source for the Northwest Native India…



11. Creating Our Own Emotional Chaos By Lois Grant-Holland
    It's amazing how - even when we're working from a "higher vision" - we still see the people, the events and the circumstances in our lives with the same perspective: our own! It's "only human" to always be able to see how right we are in any given situation, and it's always difficult - and sometimes impossible! - to look at ourselves and our actions through the other person's eyes. But if we really want to grow - if we really want to know who we are - then we have to be willing to look at ours…



12. Diversity Not Assimilation By Roy Klienwachter
    Good morning Roy, good morning Joseth. (Channelled)From time to time most of you wish that more people were like you so that you could be understood and get things accomplished your way.This is often felt because of the frustration you feel when you cannot communicate effectively with another. You are having difficulty in making them see it your way. The frustration is recognition of your own weakness.Just for a moment think about how it would be like if everyone was exactly like you.It is the…

16. Communion - The Key to Experiencing the Abundant Life of God By Dustin Gray
    Now, we all know that we shouldn’t be lead by our emotions, right?But in saying that lies a paradox, even though we are not mean't to be lead by our emotions, in the end, we always will be.The reason is that whenever there is a struggle between will power and emotion, our emotions will win hands down every single time.Now when we know how to hook up with God and connect with him in the realm of the heart which is what communion actually is, we start learning how to use truth to change the outc…



17. 5 Steps to Passing Life Exams By M. Christopher Wilson, Sr
    An exam is a test that is given at the end of a class to assess what knowledge was obtained by the student during the duration of the class. Depending on whether or not adequate knowledge was gained the student will pass or fail the test. If the student passes the test he moves on to the next level. If he fails, he must take the class and the exam again, yet he still has the opportunity to pass!I was recently reminded and enlightened to the idea that life too has exams. Because we live in an i…

19. Belief, Designed For Life! By Seamus Dolly
    Liam says to Joe; “where is your God now, when life can be made in a laboratory”?Joe says to Liam; “it couldn’t have happened, but for the presence of God”.It was a short debate involving two non-scientific people, but wasn’t it interesting?While Liam set out to demolish Joe’s faith, he was left with a simple retort that quietened him. In this case, the non-believer lost because he had nothing substantial to believe in.And the believer, far from a theologian, won the debate because he had.Whil…



20. You've Got a Curse! By Joseph Ghabi
    It is tough being here on this plane. You have your life to handle, your family to deal with, and you can’t help but feel responsible for them. You work 9 to 5. You try to squeeze your life around according to what suits everyone else and disregard your own needs. Time is moving faster than you can handle. You are seeing your life fly by in front of you. You feel depleted and have no energy left for you to enjoy a cup of coffee in peace and quiet. You try to read some books for insight, read a…



21. IN SEARCH OF A GURU..THE TRUE SPIRIT OF A GURU.
    So many times I have been asked this question. Who is Guru, or teacher as we say in english? When this question comes up, I like to talk about the two questions I have asked myself before I met my Guruji. Do I really need a Guru? And how do I know he or she is the real one? The one meant for me. Being an Indian brought up in India, I was very well versed with the different shlokas on the importance of Guru. But then what do we really mean by 'Guru'. Guru, as the word is divided in two parts. …



22. Sickness and Disease: The Bible's Perspective By Maurice Perry
    What is sickness? What is disease? Why are both of these ailments extremely prevalent in a society that is more technologically advanced than ever before? In an age where man can build super scud missiles, devastating nuclear war heads, and can build space rovers that can roll on the planet Mars thousands and thousands of miles away, why has there not been a cure for the common cold? Why has sickness and disease remained an issue since biblical times?The definition for sickness is to be in a d…



23. The Fountain of Light Exercise By Samantha Stevens
    An etheric body, also known as the aura, surrounds every human being. This energy field is thought to be made up of you’re the emanations of your life force, what the Middle Eastern religions call Prana, the Chinese call Chi and the popular religions call the Soul. An entire New Age cottage industry has sprung up around the idea of taking electromagnetic pictures of these phenomena using Kirilian or electromagnetic photography. Psychics and Channelers take cues from the colors revealed in thes…



24. Importance and Necessity of Special Revelation - Part One By Jack Kettler
    This article is a reply that deals with certain criticisms concerning views expressed in my article titled Pagan Philosophy, Unbelief, and Irrationalism.1 This article briefly exposed the bankruptcy of materialistic and empirical philosophy in particular and the worldview of non-belief in general. It was asserted: “Matter is silent; it does not speak. It does not say what is right or what is wrong. The definition between good and evil is found in the Bible. God is not silent.” These asse…

2. Dancing with the Devil By James Ray
"If you can't dance with the devil You will never walk in the Light." Well now..this is an interesting subject isn't it? At a recent event, I was asked about the "Anti-Christ," a topic that brings chillsto the heart of the traditionalist. Visions of some big hairy monster with the "mark of the beast" (reference the Mark of the Beast article found on the Warrior Lounge) emblazoned upon its forehead flashes through the mind of the fundamentally conditioned mind. Give me a break! Let's start …

3. Sharpen with Age
The other day while I was grocery shopping, I spied an item I'd never seen in the store. It was one of my favorite Italian cheeses. So I bought a piece. When I got home, I read the small print on the label. It said: Firm smooth body . . . will sharpen with age. What a great metaphor, I thought, for the way some humans age, and probably the way most of us would like to. As I get older, I've found my memory and my body are in better shape than when I was younger. Granted, I've worked at it over th…

4. A People in Exile (Part 2) By Saundra L. Washington
Mother Nature has this uncanny tendency to turn upon herself – undoing with her left hand what she has made with her right. She sends hailstorms to the destruction of her own blossoms. She unleashes a tempest upon the crop that she herself has ripened for the harvest. Lightning splits the trees that she has nurtured and sets the forest aflame.Nature is no believer in disarmament because the birds prey upon the insects and worms. The glowworm feeds upon the snail. There is no kindness in the se…
