Is God too busy to handle all the small stuff in my life? Do I only go to Him with the really big problems?

The Gnostics and Essenes
This person and I agreed on many things and he checked with the Patriarch to discover that I was ‘bang on’ with my history. The matter of our disagreement centers around his Essene Templar status and the abuses made by these designers of what I call CONstructs. Here is a little from my book on the occult.

Our King Complex
David was a great King who had ruled Israel with an iron hand for 40 years. But, time had caught up with him. Things the old king use to do, he could not do anymore. And so, the hell hounds came out of the cracks and crevices.

Formula for Spiritual Growth
The Bible maakes it plain that we must become mature. We are not to be like the Hebrew Christians who remained at the same place they started. They were instructed to leave the first principles and go on to maturity. The formula for growth is laid out concisely in Second Peter 1:5-7. We must be careful to follow the exact order given. Skipping steps will give us in trouble in a hurry. Spiritual maturity requires all the faith and patience we can muster.

The Big Choice
The Big Choice
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you, and you will eat with me.”
REVELATION 3:20, NCV
Jesus gives this invitation. To know God is to receive His invitation. Not just to hear it, not just to study it, not just to acknowledge it, but to receive it. It is possible to learn much about God’s invitation and never respond to it personally.
Yet His invitation is clear and nonnegotiable. He gives all and we give Him all. Simple and absolute. He is clear in what He asks and clear in what He offers. The choice is up to us.

Spiritual Friendships
As we walk along our paths in life, we will encounter several forms of friendships. There will be friends of convenience, friends by association, and friends of the heart. Friends out of convenience are friendships that you might have simply because you both are accessible to one another. These friendships are common in a work or school environment as people are united by place alone. You might even term these friendships as ‘associates’ instead of friends, because you associate with one another because you feel that you have to.

I'm Too Busy for Me
Everyone is busy nowadays. It’s hard to find time for anything. From the time we wake up in the morning until the time we go to bed, it’s hard to find 30 minutes to simply be by yourself. If you are married with children, I know you can relate to what I am saying.

Mind, in Time and Space
Understanding humanity's relationship in time and space is crucial in understanding his relationship to that which created him. This awareness leads us to enlightenment and the knowingness that we are part of a process and not separate from it. We are one with all that is, and the process cannot work without us.

Spiritual Inspiration Music and The New Age
Spiritual Inspiration Music and Psychological Development go hand in hand. They rely on each other to teach us new things about ourselves. They involve us through the vibrations we feel at a cellular level. These vibrations open us up to ourselves, and let us feel ourselves at a deeper level. They help us identify what is ours to bear and to express.

'I'm Not A Christian, But I Play One On Sunday'
After more than three decades of church ministry, I have come to one unsettling conclusion. Actually, I've come to more than one conclusion, but this one is the most depressing.
That conclusion is simply this: all who say they are going to Heaven are not actually on the right path, going in the right direction. Most, of course, have the best intentions, but good intentions don't make up for going in the wrong direction.
