When you go to bed, lie down with a beautiful mind. Remove all ugliness from it. In the morning when you wake, come before the deep bosom of God, and then, when you go out to work, you will embark from the throne of God. The spirit world is always around you, listening and attentive. [...]

Who knows how long he or she will live? Maybe tomorrow you will die, at a mere 25 or 30 years of age. Do you have some guarantee from God as to how long you will live? No one has such a guarantee. A wise person thinks like this: “I have only a short time to [...]

Selfless Giving

M. A. T. — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:35:32 +0000

Today I want to share my thoughts about selfless giving. It’s good to be a giver in life- it beats the heck of being a taker! The old saying goes, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” A simple act of selfless giving… a giving that has no strings attached. Now doesn’t [...]

Loving Through Your Work

When you work, you must love that business, love the products you work with, and, of course, love the people. Always give honor to the other people.

“The distinction between the general abstract formula of moral law, and the living, personal, concrete manifestation of God’s Will in our own lives is one of the most fundamental truths of Christianity, for it is the distinction of the letter, which kills, and the spirit which gives life.

We each have concepts we’ve formed over some situation, memory, or experience on an individual level which influence our behavior and views about others. On top of that we have our family history, culture, and national concepts that are collectively embedded in us. These shape our personalities, decisions, and opinions on life in general. We [...]

True Spirituality

Luna — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:19:05 +0000

True Spirituality must emphasize living for the sake others-selfless service and the denial of fleshly desires. Anything other than this is false. This is the basis for spiritual maturity.

Love-Phobia In A Techy Generation

Lindsey — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:40:10 +0000

We’re finding volcanoes erupting under the ocean, taking vacations to the moon, and discovering new dinosaur species every day. Scientists have even found a way to turn deadly, toxic waste into oil and glass. But are our priorities in line? Is it imperative to spend our energy on energy?

Prepare For Culture Shock

Anonymous — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 02:09:07 +0000

Freedoms of speech, religion, to assemble… But are we using our life to make a difference in creating a better world? How about in America? America has declined.
