Who comes to mind when you hear the words “the king”? Some may think of Elvis or perhaps Henry VIII or King Arthur. Many kings have been egomaniac tyrants. King David was perhaps the greatest king who ever ruled. He was described as “a man after God’s own heart.”
God promised that through the linage of […]

Are you one of those people who secretly wish you believed in God? Or are you one of those people who believe in God in an abstract way rather than a personal way? Are you actually doing everything you can to never have an experience of God, while denying that this is what you are […]

Since the religious terrorism of 9/11 a number of books have appeared by atheists that are staunchly anti-faith and anti-religion, placing many of the evils of modern society at the feet of religion.

Friulian society was one of superstition, a rural society in which the old traditions, many of them pre-Christian traditions died hard and were completely foreign to the non-Friulian inquisitors.

Jesus is all about vision.
In John 14:6, one of His classic “I am” statements Jesus said, “I am the way . . . and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Jesus is the way to God, the road ahead, the road not yet taken. There is great anticipation in those thoughts. […]

There was once a man and his son going with their Donkey to the market. As they were walking along by its side a neighbor man passed them and said: “You fools, what is a Donkey for but to ride on?”

I used to cringe at the word, “submission.” Although I love my mother dearly, I will say that she did not do much to teach me what submission really means. She was an eighties woman (aka: a women’s libber). A recent divorcee’, men weren’t exactly on her likeability list. Helen Reddy’s “I am woman, hear […]
The evolution of all life on earth from a single primitive life form is straight forward and fairly easy to understand on the basis of Darwinian principles of mutation and natural selection.

What is the meaning of life? And is there just one meaning or many? These are old questions, but still very pertinent to how we function and discover this life that has been gifted to us.
The first question to consider when determining the answer is what the term “meaning” is referring to. Is it referring […]
Are we alone in the universe or is there life on other planets? And perhaps even as close our next door neighbor, the planet Mars?
Mars itself is – because it is further away from our heat source the Sun – a cold desert planet. So far without any signs of life nor liquid water on […]
Angels.
Angels are messengers of the Lord and are spoken of in Hebrews as “ministering spirits”. In the New Testament Angels appear as ministers of God. Such as in Luke 1:5-25 when the angel Gabriel announced the birth of John the Baptist and told Elisabeth that her son would prepare the way for the Savior. Then […]
We have all been at a crossroad at some time in our life. Whether it is the death of loved one, losing a job, or a natural disaster, we have all come to a point in our life when we feel that we cannot go on, and the struggles of life are simply too much […]
Fairies are Nature Angels, the lowest manifestation within the Angelic Hierarchy. They, along with Nereids, Gnomes, Salamanders, Undines and Elves make up the Elementals. Fairies are tiny energy beings that are transported from place to place by their dragonfly or butterfly-like wings. They are the Guardian Angels of animals and nature, therefore their purpose is […]
The Kundalini Energy is the basic evolutionary force in every individual. It’s purpose is to drive us to reach for enlightenment. This energy lays coiled at the base of the spine until released, where the natural flow is then up the spine and out the top of the head, cleaning and refining the cells in […]
A Psychic is a person who has the ability to communicate, in a variety of ways, with the Spirit World. When we come into this earthly world as babies we all possess these abilities, but as we grow and are gradually re-programmed with other people’s beliefs, slowly these gifts disappear and by the age of12 […]
Angels are beings of light who have chosen to undertake their learning purely on the spiritual plane. They bring forth messages from the Creator to help us remember who we are, that we too are spiritual beings even though we have chosen to take on physical form. They are sent to us from the Divine […]
