Embrace God And Obtain Peace In This World!Embrace God and obtain an inner peace that will guide your path in this world. In my previous articles we have walked the path together to spiritual enrichment. Let’s continue that walk together and discover obtaining peace that will light the path ahead. Once we have allowed God into our lives, He will light the way to an inner peace that we have never experienced before. In chapter four of Ephesians, in the new testament, Paul says that if we believe in Him-we will indeed be taught by Him. If we follow God’s teachings we will be renewed in the spirit of our minds. Then we will become new and strong and equipped to cope with challenges ahead!

What Is The Grace Of God?Many people are confused concerning what it means to live a successful christian life. I was too. When I first gave my life to Christ, I had no idea what it meant to be a christian. I needed help and, thank God, I found some. I learned vital information concerning living for God and how to do it. This is what I would like to share with you. Being a christian is the most vital thing in the world and the most wonderful thing in the world. To know that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior and that you have hope in this life and beyond this life is an exciting thing, an awesome privilege. But, and it has been my experience, that once the initial feelings of joy and gladness disappears, you must have something sure and solid to stand upon if you are going to be a victorious christian.
Each One of Us Possesses a Hidden Quality Within The SoulEach one of us possesses a hidden quality deep within the soul. What it amounts to is simple perspective. When you are able to view life’s balanced equities and inequities, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, since your soul was given a path to be patient and assuring to its host–your physical body–then it would also make sense to have it be fair in all it does.
What Are You Believing For?God is for you. God loves you.

Self Understanding, The First Step to Understanding OthersWe often lament that we do not understand another person. It can be seen as strictly a secular statement or a matter of faith or spirituality. We refer to the othe person as neighbor in the religious or secular arena. The crucial matter is self understanding which permits us to alter our thoughts through education and behavior through self adjustment or alteration. It doesn’t just happen for only we are responsible for our attitudes and behavior.
Spiritual Poverty – Precursor to Blessed RepentanceSpiritual poverty is acute sight of our condition in the basis of reality – we are ALL fallible, broken and needy “problem” people, even to the heads of government, psychologists, super-pastors, princes and princesses, and child prodigies. Acknowledging this truth – one leading to closeness with God – is blessing.
Heaven – The Goal of Our Conversion JourneyAfter we have drawn our last breath, our heart stops beating, our brain ceases to function, and our body is growing cold, we begin our final stage of our conversion journey, the stage that leads to Heaven. What is Heaven like? First, Heaven is flooded with the most brilliant light that emanates from the Being of Light, God himself. Though the light is brilliant it does not hurt us in any way. Rather, we are infused with a profound sense of peace, joy, and fulfillment. We’re home at last!
The Commandments Of Catholic Christian Social Teaching And Our Conversion Journey – Part OneCatholic social teaching is all about bringing the love of Jesus Christ to a fractured world. In the March 14, 2010 issue of Our Sunday Visitor, Fr. William J. Byron, S.J., lists social principles that are an essential part of Catholic and other Christian denominations as well. The principles of human dignity, respect for human life, solidarity, and preferential protection for the poor and vulnerable are all required for the common good of humankind as whole regardless of culture. A conversion of heart that recognizes the value of the dignity of every human person, and the willingness to compromise are essential if our conversion journey is to really include the common good.
