Days of Prophetic Fulfillment and the Theology of DistinctionsBy: Rev Michael Bresciani - As America starts off in a new walk down secular liberalisms all new and shiny path many people who knew that this nation alone once stood out as the most uniquely different nation in history are concerned, afraid, and in some cases even panicky.
Morality started a high speed nose dive with Hollywood’s help about forty years ago and today there doesn’t seem to be any way to pull up out of the dive. Now all media, TV, news broadcasting, games, print publications the internet and of course academics are leading the way.
Will The Real Christ Jesus Please Stand Up???By: B Weiser - Let us suppose that the Christ in you is the Real YOU in You. How might that upset your status as a mortal? If Christ were already the You in you even before you supposedly accepted Him, what actually changed at that moment except your mind? If you changed your mind then, must you also change your mind now and what's in it for me anyhow? Does anyone really know what Identity IN Christ means?
Welcome to the New Covenant that established our AD World 2,000 Years ago.
Understanding the Gifts of GodBy: Francis Hirak - As we explore the gifts of God and it’s great value and benefits for mankind, it is only proper that the gifts we receive from God be used for the benefit of others and to the glory of God the giver. God’s gifts are not for our own selfish reasons such as profit for oneself, for we “received free” and we are under obligation to “give free.
EntitlementBy: Colleen Lilly - Keep death daily before your eyes...... Rule of St Benedict.
Do you feel entitled?
Do you appreciate each moment?
Many people find themselves in a state of discontentment. They get frustrated quickly and want more or something different. They find themselves unhappy with their expectations or situation.

We wish you . . . Happy Holidays!By: Elsabe Smit - This is the time of the year that normally gets me thinking. I receive Christmas cards from people that assume I share their sentiments about Christmas. This is my dilemma: how to I reciprocate?
My first inclination is to simply say thank you, and not to reciprocate with a similar card, because giving a similar card would be dishonest for me.
Relationship With GodBy: B Weiser - What is relationship with God, how does one have a relationship with God and is relationship with God even necessary? Long answer short would be; relationship with God is the path of Self Realization, one must relate to God in deception and no, relationship with God in not necessarily necessary.

The Glory of Little MiraclesBy: Robin Weidner - One of the things I love most about God is the way he surrounds me with a truth, right when I need it.
The holidays had been a challenge.
One weekend, I sat in the hospital in another state as my sister-in-law had cancer surgery. The next, I sat with my father (on the other side of the country) who was explaining to me how he'd been tricked into signing away any inheritance our family might receive.
The Marvelous Hope of ChristmasBy: Robin Weidner - "You cannot show the preciousness of a person by being happy with his gifts.... What proves that the giver is precious is the glad-hearted readiness to leave all his gifts to be with him." — John Piper (from Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, p. 109)
Christmas has always filled me with a sort of gift-giving performance anxiety. Will my gifts be thoughtful enough? Am I giving enough?
Abortion: A Question of Spiritual Authority?By: Everest John Alexander - Have you ever considered the importance of your physical body in demonstrating spiritual authority and fulfilling the purpose of God for your life?
Satan is a mere spirit trying to dominate the affairs of men and for this Jesus labelled him a robber and a thief! John 10:1
But in referring to Himself, Jesus said, "... He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep," John 10:2
So, have you ever wondered what that door was?
The Spirit & The Soul: Understanding Their Differences & SimilaritiesBy: Everest John Alexander - Ever wondered what is the difference between your spirit and your soul?
And what about the heart and mind where exactly do these fit in?
The Bible says, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit," Heb 4:12.
It's interesting that the writer felt it necessary to use the dividing of the spirit and soul as evidence of the power of the word of God.
