God’s Hand in Our Struggle
And His ever present hand is always at work, not only taking care of all our present needs, but planning and shaping our future needs as well. And He delights in doing that, because like an expert and passionate sculptor, it brings Him joy to see his work of art take shape at every strike of the chisel.
Evolution, Materialism and Spirituality – Guru Knows It AllHuman beings are curious to know the purpose behind existence of life and have evolved as the most capable organism to do so. But all achievements of human beings have come at some cost, most of which are intangible but significant. In fact, our ambitions have pushed us to the brink of in existence. It is now that we need a teacher who himself has experienced the ways to control his mind. Leave alone salvation, we need a guidance to build a safe future for our generations to come.
Past Lives and Present Love: Examples of Tragedy to HappinessYour current love life is the result of your past life actions, according to the theories of reincarnation and karma. Below are examples of past life suffering that led to happy love lives.
Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 3MORALITY is what Jesus seems to be pinpointing, here. We know we aren’t supposed to be claiming another person’s credit, but Jesus extends this into the realm of a higher moral vision, because there is no glory to God when we attract to ourselves what those of the world do.
What Sort of Bizarre Kingdom Is This of Jesus’?THE PARADOX that is the kingdom of God, the church, and every vessel set apart for God’s use, is it’s a kingdom unrecognisable and unacknowledged in the world’s eyes. Think about this Jesus who was about to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9, to the acclaim of the many who laid down palm fronds before his path on that ancient first Palm Sunday.
Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 2MOTIVES are weighed by the LORD. Not an iota of ill-gotten gain is blessed until every last skerrick is accounted for. The kudos we get because we thrust ourselves into the forefront of contentious attention comes to nothing. It’s rendered worthless. We established for ourselves a reward that passes away at light speed.
Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 1KUDOS. Favour. Praise. Acclaim. Credit. Applause. Compliments. We all like such responses of kindness, flattery, or worth. When life runs our way there is plenty of this that we get that we thrive on. But when we don’t get it, it can mess with our sense of self.
Just WHO Is This Jesus of Yours?THE GIANTS hit town recently and so captured our imaginations we didn’t quite know how to view these 11-metre diver and 6-metre girl puppets. So massive were their proportions they required a support crew of over a hundred red-clad ‘little’ people, and a purported one million people showed up to see the fantasy unfold. It was breathtaking.
Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 5 Verse 48DISCIPLESHIP – a much confused word – is confused in this statement of Jesus’, surely? For, discipleship is as much, and more, about progress in the Christian life as it is about perfection. But there is one perfection that Jesus has in sight in this teaching.
Birth, Death and Reincarnation Has a Divine Purpose and Spiritual GoalThe birth of this lifetime was not the first one. As a matter of fact, we have had millions upon millions of births in the past. “Yes”, there may be no way to prove it with our scientific methods. There are records of people having been regressed through hypnosis into number of their past lives.
Has Your Quest and Search for Spiritual Satisfaction Been Realised or Has That Yet to Be Discovered?This is important because I have met many who have searched for that spirituality which satisfies and which lasts and endures and some have never found and discovered it. Your quest and search can be over soon! How committed are you to that which is genuinely spiritual and realistically religious? And, to what are you committed, and to what have you committed your life? Once we resolve the answers to these questions the rest of life can become simpler although never losing its challenge.
Is There Something Deep Down Preventing You From Experiencing the Full Measure of God’s Blessing?Do you need healing? Do you need forgiveness? Then I point you to Jesus Christ, who said, “Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing!” You could read this article today and go out, knowing that every barrier between you and God has been broken down, and that every barrier between you and some long lost friend can be broken down. Blessing lights up man’s whole experience with joy and peace and courage and serenity. You may know deep down that God has something more for you, and you know it is there awaiting you, and as you join in singing the Psalms and the hymns and the spiritual songs, you are aware that there is something more because these create a thirst and longing for what Paul is speaking about here. Many battle with this for years. It was in 1969 when I had my fiercest battle over this. Paul knew the fullness of the blessing of God and he would have every believer in Jesus experience and enjoy that fullness.
