26. Apostle Paul-His Cosmic Jesus By Dennis Diehl
    Ask one of your Christian friends why the Apostle Paul NEVER quotes Jesus, tells a story about his life, his miracles, his teachings or his example and you generally will be met with a look that says...."that's not true." But alas it is. Paul never knew any Jesus in the flesh. He never spent one minute with him, ate no meals with him, and never sat at his feet being taught by him. EVERY time Paul relates how he got something from "the Lord" we have to realize it was in vision or perhaps be…



27. Spiritual Spring Cleaning, Making Room for More By Wendy Betterini
    Do you ever get into those moods where you just can't stand to look at clutter anymore and start filling garbage bags? Maybe it's Spring Fever, but I have a deep desire for simplicity lately. Not just in my physical surroundings, but emotionally, professionally, and spiritually too -- I have been "purging" the unnecessary from my life.This is a difficult process, because while certain things are no longer serving me, they did at one time. There is a bit of nostalgia attached to these things. I…



28. Power of Prayer - The Most Valuable Dialogue of Your Life By Nevada York
    It’s the most powerful weapon on Earth. It can turn the impossible to the possible in a matter of seconds. Yet, few people even Christians seem to take advantage of this free, priceless commodity. The name of this mighty weapon you may ask? Prayer: The act of conversing with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or meditation, but in direct address to him. If it’s not the constant bombardment of the media focusing only on negativity, it’s the monotony of our dai…

31. Our Inner Toolbox
    Our Inner Toolbox We seem be an anxiety-ridden society at best. This is reasonable, what with 24/7 round the clock news ready and waiting for us to access at any moment. We watch television sitcoms where family and relationship problems are solved and tied up in a nice little bow in twenty minutes. Most of us have abandoned the family dinner hour, for grabbing our plates and heading for the sofa to sit in front of our big screens while we argue about who gets to hold the remote control. I can al…



32. Surrounded By His Glory By Kevin Berg
    As communion was being passed this morning, I listened to the song “I Can Only Imagine” by Mercy Me. I fought to keep the tears in my eyes. I didn’t want break down sobbing during that incredible song like normal. Being in a wheelchair and physically disabled, the chorus brings fantastic, breathtaking images to my mind: “Surrounded by Your glory,What will my heart feel? Will I dance for you Jesus,Or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence,Or to my knees will I fall? Will I si…



33. Who Has The Greatest Job In The World? By James Snyder
    I have, in my opinion, the world's perfect job. Just look at the evidence. I love people and I love God. I love talking to people about God and I love talking to God about people.Therefore, if you put these two together, I am doing what I love doing: the greatest job in the world.I must confess, however, this was not always the case. When I wore a younger man's suit, I had different ideas about what would be the greatest job in the world for me.Nowhere on that short list did being a pastor app…



34. Believe-Don't Doubt; Give Thanks-and Receive! By Eunice Coughlin
    Does this ever happen to you? You ask God for something but you don’t believe that you will receive an answer to your prayer.As an example, let’s say you want your child to be accepted into a certain school. You know that it is the best school for them but unfortunately, because of where you live or some other circumstance, your child can’t attend there. But there is a way to apply and maybe possibly be accepted. Chances are slim that she’ll get in. Currently, there are no openings, but in fai…



35. Your Identity in Christ Will Set You Free! By Eunice Coughlin
    In order to be spiritually healthy, you need to realize what your identity is in Christ. Your identity in Christ is simply who you become once you receive Christ as your Savior.Before salvation, a person’s identity is largely a product of their upbringing…whether nice or mean, happy or sad, positive or negative. Before salvation, many people think of their identity as what they do for a living, who they are married to, what kind of family they came from. Some even define themselves according …



36. Where is Your Brother? By Saundra L. Washington
    The story of Cain and Abel stands very close to 21st century man. For who cannot be exposed to the prevalence of murderous crimes existing in our society and world without occasionally reflecting back upon the first murder? The narrative of these brothers is symbolic of the relationship between God and man and between man and his brother. Read about the history of God’s dealings with man in your Bible and you will notice that God always intervenes.And I am not referring only to physical murder…



37. The Amazing Possibilities In Your Impossible Dream By Luanne Hunt
    There was this TV commercial a couple of years back that made me look away every time it came on. It was for some kind of a power saw and the premise was that there was this guy who built furniture for a living.Somehow he lost his sight in an accident and thought he would have to give up doing what he loved most. But no way. It turns out this saw was so precise and reliable, even a blind man could operate it.See where this is going? Suddenly they show the blind carpenter running a piece of…



38. A Ministry Of One By Soni Pitts
    Each of us has far more potential to serve the Highest Cause, and each other, than we ever tap into. Many of us seeking to commit our lives to such service have, even if only briefly, considered leading or joining an established ministry - at least until the responsibilities associated with our real-world concerns reasserted themselves in our thoughts. How can we even begin to commit to a ministry service with all the work we currently do and all the responsibilities we have? Such a choice see…

40. The Healing Power Of Forgiveness By Saleem Rana
    Forgiveness breaks all bounds of repression and depression. It liberates the psyche from bondage to the past.In fact, I would rank forgiveness as the essence of psychotherapy.As human beings all our limitations arise from our psychic wounding. This wound has been either intentional or accidental, but it drains our vitality. In fact, if it has been grievous enough, it runs our whole life, and ruins it.We are creatures designed to absorb and transmit love, and when an unloving act is foisted on …



41. The Dollar Bill Game
    This is a game that I had just heard of and it is too good not to pass it along. I didn't make it up; I don't know who did. The fact is that it raises our 'abundance' consciousness and truly increases our energy to receiving the goodness of the world. It goes like this: Each week, take out a dollar bill and write the following on the back of it: 'May you be blessed with Love, Wealth, and Health.' Write sincerely, with your best energy. Then take this bill to a public place and secretly place it …

43. Changing Attitudes Can Create A Positive Future From A Negative Past By Olivia Stefanino

As tears rolled down her face, Carla told me how her home and work life had been affected – and it was clear that depression was setting in.Carla and I were meeting in my office for the first time – and in front of me sat a stressed, anxious woman whose future was about to be severely marred because of what had happened in the past. When Carla spoke about the crash, s…



44. Angelic Art - Alternative & Spiritual Healing Therapy By Sharae Taylor
    As more and more alternative and spiritual healings are being studied and documented they are finding that all forms of upliftment heals the body, mind and spirit. Angelic art falls within this category by uplifting the spirit. I do not claim Angel paintings create physical healings. Angel paintings soothe the emotions and create a more peaceful atmosphere helping today's society deal with the stressful world we now find ourselves in on a day to day basis.Angel paintings are unique. They a…



45. How to Forgive Someone By Eric Engel
    We’ve all heard the saying, “You have to forgive, but you don’t have to forget.” I won’t refute that, but you have to agree that a lot of people use that excuse to never ‘really’ forgive at all. Are you one of those people?Let’s rephrase it a little. “You have to forgive…and you have to forget the anger, the pain, the anxiety, and everything else that comes with someone sinning against you. But you don’t have to make yourself a target (even though Jesus did).” Sound a little more difficul…



46. The Role of the Spiritual Warrior By Jodie Foster
    What power do we hold individually in the midst of the havoc being wreaked upon our world? What steps can we take regarding the anxiety people feel all across the nation?All these questions bring me to one answer and one answer only- to hold clear to our individual light and radiate peace to all of humanity and the planet. We are powerful individuals. When combined together, we hold the key to our future on the Earth. We have the ability to shift the energetic structure of the plane…



47. Anam Cara - Watching The River Flow By Tony Cuckson
    I love rivers. I have for many years lived away from rivers. Yet, when I ever felt unhappy or uninspired I would seek out a pathway along the nearest river to my home.I have returned home to Ireland following many happy years in England. I am blessed now to live close to the River Shannon near to the first village on the Shannon. This is the village called "Dowra." In Irish the name is an Damhraith, which translates either as "the black stream" or "the stream of the oxen."I live near the s…



48. The Road Not Taken
    Robert Frost has always been one of my favorite poets. And one of my favorite Frost poems is The Road Not Taken. Here are some excerpts from that poem: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could . . . Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Over the years, you've probably heard Joseph and other teachers say all our power is in thi…



49. Did You Inherit Your Religion?
    One Saturday morning I was sipping my coffee and reading the newspaper when the doorbell rang. This was an unusual occurrence as we lived in a somewhat isolated log cabin in the mountains outside Denver. At the door stood two attractive college-age girls who wanted to talk to me about becoming a Jehovah's Witness. Normally I would politely say, 'No thanks' and return to my paper, but that morning I decided to engage with them. After hearing their initial pitch, I asked one of them, 'Are your pa…

2. Holy! Holy! Holy! (...holy?)
Holy Cow! Can we just go back to basics now? What does holy mean? To be holy means to be perfect or nearly perfect, right? It means piety, righteousness, uprightness. It means not sinning. Actually, that is not accurate. To be holy means to be separate! Separate from what? Let's consider a soldier and a boxer for a moment. They are trained to be good at their field by adhering to a rigorous set of discipline. A soldier doesn't behave like an ordinary citizen. His hair is kept short that when bat…

3. Life - A Child is Born By Teow Aun Chew
With the sunrise and the sunset, every minute a child is born. The first cry seems to be joyful to the parents' ears, yet a cry of suffering one knows not. With every new born, death is seen, but where he goes to is a mystery to all. Not knowing where one comes from, one will not know why one comes to this plane, neither will one know of where to return.Life in its meaning looks simple enough, but what really is life and what is the purpose of one's return? Recycle has been spoken from time to…

4. Vacation Pilgrimage By Gregory Bonney
I heard recently on a Christian radio station somebody talking about turning a vacation into a pilgrimage or a sabbath time, an opportunity to get closer to God. The speaker said that there is no word in ancient languages equivalent to the word "vacation". While I don't think that's true (the word has it's origins in the Latin), I would agree if she had said that ancient people probably did not generally have time for vacationing since they were often more preocuppied with daily survival. T…
