Proverbs 31 serves as an excellent example of what a woman is capable of. When looked at through contemporary eyes, it can be used as a standard for living a well-balanced life.

I had a vision from God just recently (and the message behind it is an old one) where he said through the situation before me, that I must back myself and trust in no comparison except by Christ. This is the vision of “Who I Am,” or certainly who I’m to become (without allusion to some Messiah complex!).

I love it how I can read a passage of Scripture and immediately have an image of my past or a possible future thrust there as a plate to devour before my willing eyes. God not only gets our attention in these ways…

What’s so important about Christian meditation? Does it really make a difference to a healthy spiritual life?

Silent prayer, therefore, addresses the need to open up to that which is beyond our small self and really become Christlike ourselves. If we adhere to the original Church father’s doctrines and rendition of the gospels, there is really nothing we can do to proactively change ourselves except to be perpetual works in progress and sinners who have no chance of ever becoming more than that.

Does guilt often enter your mind after going through some rough times? Do you waste a lot of time worrying, and feeling let down, and even worse, all alone? Well, all of us have, and do, probably more than we realize. My hope is that this article helps you find inner peace.

There is always Unexplained phenomena and our brain’s ability to hide behind reason tends to shut it off from our realizing it. What a lot of people call ‘psychic’ I call Inductive reasoning. Usually there is always an explanation and its almost always tied to logic.

As I reflected with a friend recently over a coffee we both mused about the respective people in our midst’s who’ve undergone extensive identity crises – notwithstanding ourselves! I’d indeed met this friend in the grip of my own crisis years back, and my friend had dealt with theirs too.

Not one person could ever correctly say that the Bible is all sunny day reading, describing the journey with God as a wonderland of prettiness. Most of the Old Testament (OT) is grossly stark in its approach. Job, in fact, is a compendium of the emotions… an entire anatomy of the soul!
