I was recently reminded and enlightened to the idea that life too has exams. Because we live in an intelligent universe created by an intelligent God, there are no accidents or coincidences. Everything that happens has been divinely orchestrated by God for our good.

Who would have thought that a plant could be a witness to a crime – and even testify against the perpetrator? Well, it is true! In the early 1970’s experiments were done on ordinary houseplants, by researchers who connected a polygraph machine to a plant.

Want happiness to follow you around without taking responsibility for how you live? The most published and read book in the world is the Bible. The Bible clearly outlines how to be happy. Many refuse to read the Bible because of their fear that it will brainwash them, or force them into a life that they don't want. The Bible is a puppy that wants to lick you cheek and asks only that you listen. Then you choose...

The story of Cain and Abel stands very close to 21st century man. For who cannot be exposed to the prevalence of murderous crimes existing in our society and world without occasionally reflecting back upon the first murder?

God has written into divine providence a kind of payday-someday theology.

Often, in being dishonest about our own faults and failures, we have been far too insensitive and callous toward others who have fallen short.

In the interest of mankind the Angels are delivering messages full of hope, love and joy for a better today and a better tomorrow. I have agreed to be this channel.

What you do If you find yourself in the room is ultimately your choice, it is up to you where to go next, you decide!

A brief exploration of our relationship to the present moment, and how our conditioned or habitual resistance to 'what is' causes suffering.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, but some days it seems like it is miles away. You have done everything you can think of to do, physically or mentally and don't even get me started on the list of emotions that have been involved in the whole process of creating the dream...

Archangel Raphael is considered the guardian angel of humanity. He is also the divine physician, the archangel of health and healing, and the angel of abundance and creativity

A brief study of John's rebuke to the Pharisees and Saducees in Matthew 3:7-10

I love recipe books...looking through them, collecting them, and occasionally even using them. I suppose just having them is rather like a safety net. It's always mind assuring to know they are there just in case... But unless they are opened up and used, all the secrets inside will forever remain hidden from view. It will benefit no one. Are you hiding your hidden treasures from view?

Not to borrow the strength of another, nor to rely on one's own strength; to cut off past and future thoughts, and not to live within the everyday mind... then the Great Way is right before your eyes...

Do you have a servant’s heart? Has God blessed you with the insight to see the needs of others and reach out in compassion and understanding even when they, themselves, cannot reach out and ask for ...

The word means different things to different people. Is it simply an emotion or feeling? Do we only feel joy when life seems to be going good, when our circumstances are favorable? Or is there someth...

When do you pray? Prayer is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, the communication factor with God that opens us to grace, hope and the very love of God that transforms our lives. So, when do you...

Breaking with tradition, today's article comes from the 9-23-04 edition of Sojomail. Sojomail is produced by Sojourners; an evangelical journal, and calls itself a 'weekly email-zine of spirituality,...

Be filled with the Spirit.… always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. -EPHESIANS 5:18, 20 Some years ago, a couple traveled from their home in Chicago to Arrowhead Springs to talk to me about an idea they had. “We heard your lecture on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Our lives have been dramatically changed as a result,” they said enthusiastically. “We have come to encourage you to go on national television to tell Christians everywhere how they can know the Holy Spirit and experience His revolutionary impact in and through their lives.” I am humbly grateful to God for the privilege of teaching these great truths concerning the Holy Spirit to tens of millions of people through-out the world, often with the same dramatic results this couple enjoyed. To be effective lighthouses for Jesus Christ, we must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Without that filling, we will fail miserably in our spiritual lives and accomplish little to reach other people for Christ.

Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
ROMANS 6:11 My friend Randy had given up trying to live the Christian life. He said, “I have tried, but have failed so many times. Nothing seems to work for me.” After listening to his account of his many failures and defeats, I began to explain the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Randy interrupted: “I know all about the Holy Spirit. I’ve read everything I can find, and nothing works for me.” My thoughts turned to Romans 6. I asked him, “Randy, are you sure you’re a Christian?” “Yes,” he answered. “I’m sure.” “How do you know?”

The Laws of Attraction manifest themselves in many ways. Prayer is just one of these ways. And we're praying when we don't even know it. Awareness of when is the key to its attraction powers.

Time is the modern man's curse. In order to stay at the top of the food chain, you have to be competitive. You have to thrive in challenges, which would also inadvertently mean that you have to function pretty much like a robot. So that means you have to act indifferently even in the face of crisis. You should be arbitrary when it comes to decision-making. You should be professional.

When was the last time you sang in the rain? For that matter when was the last time you went out in the rain and soaked up the fresh air?
