Surviving a Spiritual Tsunami
Wondering what we’d have to do to stay safe if a real life tsunami were to hit – given that we’d have to be coastally located – and the only worthy protection would be to climb to higher ground; that which is also sturdy enough not be swept away. Our spiritual lives are also susceptible to being swept away with the flow of fear throughout life, for fear is normal, but overwhelming fear – for most of us – is just a distant threat. How would we survive such a thing?

Prostitutes Are People Too Thus Deserve Our Love And RespectAs I listen to the mystically inspired music of Clannad, I cannot help but feel God is talking urging us to reach out and love each other.

Why do we not just exchange love on a daily basis and not count the cost of smiles or encouragement or support? Jesus taught us to love each other and tried, unsuccessfully, to induce our tolerance for all sectors and the religions of our world add a deeper dimension of confusion. While Jesus taught us to love everyone religions tell us not to…
Sharing God’s Heart for the LostImagine being a parent to a child – for whatever reason – that you cannot reach. You go to all lengths to succour the child to the right manner of living and you never lose faith in this because it’s not about you – it’s about them. It’s not hard to identify with God’s heart for the lost, because we feel it for the children we have whom haven’t found their way yet, and that’s on many different levels, not just the spiritual.
Where Is the Loving Church Jesus Desired and Whose Foundations He Constructed?Time in history is irrelevant when it comes to abuse within religions and it would appear the past has not been a teacher to the present or perhaps religious leaders are obstinate students. Imagine a monk beaten, battered and tortured to such a degree that he died from his wounds. Human trafficking: this disease on society is growing in leaps and bounds where one hundred years ago the value of a slave was $40,000 but today is valued at $90 approximately. Abuse: one would imagine that by 2011, self-esteem programs would be evident in every school in the world and awareness…
In Suffering – Submitting To, Not Probing, God’s SovereigntyWhen we submit to the sovereignty of the LORD, we have our wills aligned to take us into peace and fullest magnitude of grace. From that position, as a status-of-outcome, motivation to take hold of it is assumed. We’ve everything to gain – unto our spiritual transcendence.
Stuck in OverwhelmThere are many times when we feel we have way too much to do. We know there are things going on in all areas of our lives that need attention; however, we are so busy in one area that the other parts of our lives tend to get left out.
What Do These Disasters Mean for Our World?The occurrence of a disaster is never a good time to make leverage for why environmental catastrophes happen, as world and regional leaders pull together in response and recovery efforts. But we cannot help to ponder if these events mean something significant for our future, as Christians and non-Christians alike sit stunned.
We Come to the End of Our Journey – Encountering the End of the World!Whenever I appear in any layout I bring completion, attainment and fulfilment, a new world. I am the end yet the beginning, the alpha and omega. The end of something always implies the beginning of something and I offer you a new beginning, accept me into your psyche…
