The Star of Bethlehem
Every Christmas the Yuletide card portrays a silver star in a navy blue sky and every year the same heavenly object sparkles from the top of the decorated evergreen. At season's end the three wise men and their fellow shepherds gather at a hastily set up manger for the familiar nativity scene. Though it shimmers on the greeting card and its brilliance lights up the tannebaum, it wasn't a star that erupted into a supernova on that dark Judean night. The star that shone so brightly two thousand years ago was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

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.

Power of Prayer - The Most Valuable Dialogue of Your Life
It’s the most powerful weapon on Earth. It can turn the impossible to the possible in a matter of seconds. Yet, few people even Christians seem to take advantage of this free, priceless commodity. The name of this mighty weapon you may ask? Prayer: The act of conversing with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or meditation, but in direct address to him. If it’s not the constant bombardment of the media focusing only on negativity, it’s the monotony of our daily life which causes many to forget this simple task at our fingertips.

What The Bleep is All This Quantum Physics Stuff About?
“Quantum Physics is the science of gods... Newtonian Physics is the science of the small minds of men.” Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting that you should forget the Newtonian world of three dimensions (3D) and just operate in the quantum soup--not if you want to get any results, that is.

Selfishness is a True Declaration of Life's Purpose
From the moment we are born, we are talk to be selfless, to think about others first and deny ourselves at our own expense. How can one give if we have nothing to give, if we are not allowed to collect abundance, whether it is love or money? It is our nature to be selfish and to...

Slow Leak
I recently just had 4 new tires put on my mini van but soon
afterwards, I noticed the front passenger tire kept losing air.
Each time air was added to it, it would soon leak out again.
This was a call for action, time to take it back to the garage
and let them tell me what I didn't want to hear. I had run over
a tiny nail somewhere and now my tire was no longer good
as new. But, after a small plug was inserted it is now back
to it's original state, holding air and just like new again. I
realized this is alot like our Christian walk. Is yours leaking?

The Problem with Anger
God knows we cannot make it to His kingdom until we learn how to sacrifice our needs, our wants, and our desires, for the good of someone else. In other words, until we learn how to love one another, even the unlovable. And, we can never love until we get rid of the anger.

Sinners by Choice
Rarely do two individuals agree on what is morally right or morally wrong. We are adrift without answers. No single authority rules our conduct. We are free to be prejudiced or promiscuous, to cheat and chisel.

Life is like Golf
All of us have had failures and we have all walked down that lonely fairway of life not knowing if we would win or lose. But what brought Phil Michelson to that moment in time was not the many tournaments that he won in the past, but those that eluded him. Phil could have chosen this weekend to just say here I go again, and dwell on what could have been, yet he didn’t, “today is my day” he thought.

Is It Real?
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. --2 CORINTHIANS 5:17, KJV
It may have happened to you at a Billy Graham Crusade. Perhaps it was during a telecast of The 700 Club or during a conversation with a friend. Maybe you were alone with God when it happened. But some-how, someplace deep within, you believed that Jesus of Nazareth, God’s Son, died for your sins and rose from the dead to be your Lord and Savior. Then that belief grew into action, and you called out, “Jesus, I take You as my Savior. I surrender to You. Be the Lord of my life!”

Gracious Forgetfulness
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. --GALATIANS 3:27, RSV
I was thanking the Father today for His mercy. I began listing the sins He’d forgiven. My motives were pure and my heart was thankful, but my understanding of God was wrong. It hit me when I used the word remember.
