    There is no substitute or shortcut to gain the measure of God you desire in your life. Time before God in His presence releases the store house of heaven that is full of blessings and opens the flood gate of revelation you desire!

    A guy had a dream he had went to heaven and saw many clocks. As is customary with these stories St. Peter is attending the gate.

    "Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure ourselves what that life would be if these standards were removed.

    "There are five billion people on Earth, and I should guess that at any given moment one or two billion of us are speaking.

    "It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. If you are angry with a man, or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words; but so to love a man that you cannot bear to see the stain of sin upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, ...read more

    GOD'S LOVE IS EVERYTHING The Pope tells us that "For the Church, instructed by the Gospel, charity is everything because, as Saint John teaches (cf. 1 Jn 4:8, 16) and as I recalled in my first Encyclical Letter, 'God is love'...: everything has its origin in God’s love, everything is shaped by it, ...read more

    BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN, WE SIN A dog barks because it is a dog. It does not become a dog because it barks. Its ‘doginess’ makes it a dog, it’s in its DNA. Humans are not proved to be human because we sin; it is because we are human that we sin. Though still bearing he image of God, which ...read more

    Some years ago I was in a discussion with a member of the so-called Unity Church of Christianity. He said he believed the same thing I did - Unity - Jesus is the Way-Shower. We follow His example of a good life. Christianity – Jesus is the Way to God. Jesus gives us new life by dying for our ...read more

    A bored student at the University of Washington used an Internet auction site to sell his soul to the highest bidder. As it turned out, the top offer was only $400. Since the soul is immaterial, it can’t be extracted from a body like a physical organ such as a heart. The student had to admit, “I ...read more

    Quote: C. S. Lewis, A Grief Observed: "You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death.

    I once heard Dr. Robert Jeffress express his advice to those not ’feeling’ thankful.
