Christianity, Homosexuality, and Gay Marriage
One of the wonderful things about America is that we have gotten to be smarter than God (hope you recognize satire when you read it). We are now wiser than he is, we know better than he does how to love our fellowman and what is inherently right, and we no longer need his word as any kind of a guide to life. God if you will just take a seat over here to our left behind us and let us handle this we will take care of it. Yes, maybe you had it right once but you have grown old and we are young and our intellects are sharp and it is a new day. We are so arrogant that sometimes it is hard to believe. Maybe we ought to call this the Age of Arrogance. We would prefer to call it something like the Age...
You Are a Masterpiece!
We all know that when God created light on the first day of creation, he said it was good. After the second day when God created the seas, the sky and the earth, God said it was good. After the third day, when God created vegetation, God looked at his work and saw it was what? Good. After the fourth day, when God created the lights in the sky to separate day and night, God saw his creation and said it was? Good. I’ll bet you can guess what God said after the fifth day when God created the fish and birds and animals. He looked upon his creation and said it was: Good. But when we turn to Genesis 1:31 we can see at the end of the sixth day, after God had created man in his own image. “God...

Hinduism - Surrender To The Sadguru
Hinduism lays greatest emphasis to surrender to Sadguru. The Sadguru means God in human form. He/she is not like any ordinary learned person but he/she is God in a human body.

A single word spoken by a Sadguru can change your life forever. a simple touch can change your life for ever and sometimes Sadguru brings about changes in you without showing any outward sign.

Are You Enlightened?
If one has decided to follow the path of the Buddha, enlightenment is the goal. Enlightenment will remove the pain of living within the cause and effect world of this physical world. Most of us understand the frustration of the idea that the harder we try, the more elusive the result. This is the abstract effect of the picture of the world in terms of right and wrong. In truth, the Buddha nature implies that everything is as it should be, and the imperfection we perceive is more in our own mind than in reality. Enlightenment is the state of letting go of one's own ideas sufficiently to see the reality of what is. If we believe we hold the future in our hands, we are quite caught up in the process of...

The Secular God
Everything in this universe is controlled by the “Law of nature”. All that happens in this universe is a consequence of these laws and not due to God’s direct intervention. God is the director of the universe. Everything happens according to his directions. He is an infinite creative power who created the “Laws of Nature”, and brought it into existence. Concept of the secular God: The secular concept of God, that He is the “Creator of everything", is not based on ancient stories and myths. The religious God is based on ancient myths and faith. In contrast, the secular God - the creator of the universe is based on reason. For e.g. the secular God is the creator of laws of inertia...
A New World - An Old Remedy
In 1937 Napoleon Hill published his now famous book, 'Think and Grow Rich.' This book was published and sold in the midst of the Great Depression, which spanned ten years from 1929 to 1939. Think and Grow Rich took 25 years to complete as its author studied and interviewed over 500 of the world's most successful people of its time. As a result, Think and Grow Rich, has been and continues to be a best seller of all times, selling 30 million copies. It is the first of its genre in "personal-success" literature during an era, which launched North America, Europe, and other industrialized nations into an economic slump of such magnitude that by 1933 11,000 of the U.S. 25,000 banks had failed, and...
Identity and Ideology vis-à-vis Palestine
Over the past century, not only have Palestinians and Zionists fought on Palestine’s terrain of battle, but so have Turks, British and Jordanians. Each has had reason to invest itself in the region. Whether it was early-twentieth-century fading Ottoman imperial intent, energetic colonialism in the case of the British Mandate (1922–1948), the de facto division of land between Israel and Jordan under their 1948 armistice agreement, or Israeli retention of the territorial spoils of the 1967 war, each power has expressed aspects of its own identity and ideology vis-à-vis Palestine. The Palestinians still seek to express their identity by establishing a state where international justice, recognition...

Obama and the Spirits of History
On November 4, 2008 at approximately 11:00pm Central time, Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States of America. Obama and his beautiful wife, Michelle, bring grace and belief in the future of possibilities that has not been seen or felt in the White House since John and Jackie Kennedy, our 35th President and First Lady from 1961 to1963. In the hope-filled, decisive, yes-we-can victory of the Obama campaign, the spirits of every person and every event that came before him exploded in continuity, clarity and an evolution of history, within a specific time and space.

Prayer Time by Peter Menkin
Thursday, September 21, 2006 Exploring prayer time, a short poem about approaching the Lord... Today I visited Grace Cathedral in San Francisco for Evening Prayer. On Thursdays, like today's Evening Prayer, the time is a choral Prayer time. Two friends went with me, and as usual everyone who has gone with me has enjoyed the prayer experience, and certainly the music of the choral group. In this short poem posted today, the reader will find one sense of prayer, for here I outline the self approaching the Lord. It is a known issue for Christians that we are thankful for Christ's life, for his redeeming mankind. At some point, this becomes personal to the extent that the inner man, the self, the part...
Wonderful book; a treasure I would like to tell you about my desire to review a book that has been reviewed time and again, most likely. I am sure it will be reviewed by others as many people have noted it. This is a little about the small hardback: Here on the pages of the poetic "Out of the Dust: A Novel" are found the words to savor about our willing struggle to live within the travails that we encounter, even the most horrible. The gift of heart and hope, by daily endurance, and the simple recognition of our immediate lives lived within the labour of life is written as a statement of love about Bill Jo, who is a 14 year old girl. This is a children's book, and the writer is Karen Hesse (a poet...

What If the Modern Bible Versions Use Corrupted Texts?
Corrupting Bible texts is not a new thing. This has been going on from the very beginning of church history. The Apostles were having problems with it in their days. You can see some of these addressed in the New Testament. Some of these corrupted texts have made their way into our modern Bible versions. Many of our modern versions are using past corrupted texts to "update" the texts. Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Word will not pass away." To this end, we still have God's Word in its pure form. We have the Bible in its original Hebrew and Greek texts. We also have Bible texts that have been changed from the original text to say what people wanted it to say. Here are 12 tests...

Embrace of God, poem by Peter Menkin
Embrace of God Apr 24, 2006 Radiant Light, painting by Camaldoli Benedictine monk Father Arthur I cannot say that the inspiration for this poem came from Father Arthur's wonderful contemplative painting, "Radiant Light." It does help the poem along, so it is here with this posting. The genesis was a moving experience of religious examination that has led me to believe that the healing quality of a relationship with God is a wonderful, practical thing. I do not mean this to be so much a personal testimony, but an introduction in poetic form to the relationship of divine love, as an expression of the religious experience and life. I think you as reader will find a resonance, that is my hope. I...

10 Things to Ask Before Doing a Trek in Thailand
1. Who will be your guide? Your trekking guide is one of the most important factors in determining your trekking experience. If possible try and arrange a meeting with your guide beforehand so you can get a sense of his or her style and if you will get on or not. Often trekking guides work freelance, so if your friends recommended an agency or guesthouse to book a trek with you might not necessarily get the same guide. Better to find out the name of the actual guide they had, and seek him or her specifically. 2. Who else is in the group? Spending days in the jungle with people you don't get along with is nobody's idea of fun, so try and get an idea of who else is on the trek. Ask how many others are...
