1. While I'm on the theme of computer stuff... November 21, 2008 There is nothing scarier than working on a deadline and having the computer screen go ominously BLACK in front of you. This happened to me not long ago... and the panic I felt was immediate. I pushed the power button repeatedly. I unplugged the computer, plugged it back in again. No luck. No tears, no prayer, no trading my soul to the devil himself would bring my computer back from wherever it decided to go in that moment.Fortunately, a few months earlier, a friend had introduced me to a tool that became my lifesaver. If you haven't heard of it, you'll want to look it up. It's called "... (read more) Author: Joy Duling

2. The Great Encouragement Test! November 14, 2008 "...It's SCIENCE!" - Ron Burgundy A while back, I read an article in Readers Digest, or Time (or something similar) which touted the scientifically proven power of prayer. While stopping short of specifically talking about what kind of prayer (i.e. the prayer format) or to whom the prayer was directed (for sake of not offending any religions, I'm sure) the study could be outlined as follows. A group of patients were in the hospital for treatment of a terminal illness. They all had similar ailments and were at the same stage of the disease progression when the study started. From this...

3. Sentence Prayers November 14, 2008 Lord, I pray not for an emotional high, but for steadfastness of soul. I pray not for happiness, but for joy. I pray not for forgetfulness, but for the ability to forgive. I pray not for the end of trials, but for grace in them. I pray not for pleasure, but for purpose. I pray not for the cessation of my loved one's struggles, but for their growth through them. I pray not for a roadmap of my life, but for a light for my path. I pray not for visions and thunder, but for an ear to hear your still, small voice. I pray not for the fire to be cooled, but f... (read more) Author: Paula Marolewski

4. Praying the Scriptures November 14, 2008 You read the Bible. You study its passages. But you want more. You crave for it to become in your life the "living Word." A Word alive, a song on your lips, the voice in your heart. For the Word to live in you, you must make it a part of your life - more than simply a part of your routine or a part of your knowledge. One way (only one of many - like one facet on a brilliant-cut diamond) is to pray the Scriptures. "Pray the Scriptures." What does it mean? Saying the "Our Father"? That is included, of course, but there are over a thousand other pages of the Bible as well, and all (ye... (read more) Author: Paula Marolewski

5. A New View of Patience November 14, 2008 Patience. A virtue much sought, a commodity to be utterly desired. Stillness of soul in the midst of turmoil, perseverance in the face of trials, undisturbed faith under the onslaught of evil. Maybe. Maybe not. Mulling over the word, I found a brief flash of clarity: a redefining of my understanding, a sigh of relief for my most impatient soul. And that was in the simple translation from the Hebrew that defines patience as something slightly different -- Longsuffering. Longsuffering. Perhaps patience is not stillness of the soul, but the tenacious clinging of the spirit ... (read more) Author: Paula Marolewski

6. Answers vs. Wisdom November 14, 2008 I often find myself praying, "Lord, tell me what to do!" or "Is this course of action that I'm considering right or wrong? Just tell me!" But I have finally realized that this is not the best kind of prayer, and, in many instances, is not even an appropriate kind of prayer. You see, when I am asking God to tell me what to do, I am refusing to take responsibility for my life. I am denying the image of God within me which is, in part, my free will. You might say, "But as a Christian, I am supposed to surrender my will to God's will." Agreed. However, surrendering my will does not mea... (read more) Author: Paula Marolewski

7. A Creed for Daily Life November 14, 2008 I believe that God is my Father and I am His child. I believe that I have right standing with God because of what Jesus has done, not because of anything I do. I believe that Christ is with me, whether or not I "feel" Him. I believe that my worth is intrinsic because I am created in the image of God, and Jesus died and rose for me. I believe that God is doing a good work in and through me, and that this day is part of it. I believe that when I confess and repent, I am completely forgiven. I believe that the Holy Spirit ...

8. Framing your prayer requests November 12, 2008 When we look at a movie, we can see that the frame might become closer and in steps say a city or town is framed in different ways as the camera approaches. From Ezekiel Chapter 40 verse 2 in the Kings James version of the Bible, “2] In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. Here the city was framed in a certain way and from a certain perspective from the very high mountain looking south. Framing can bring another perspective to a situation. There...

10. Christening Baby Gifts - Creative Religious Gifts Made Easy November 05, 2008 There are times when the best baby gifts are not the ones that you had planned before hand. Baby christening gifts fall in such category. Baby christening gifts are not supposed to be the best or intriguing; rather they are mostly considered as a necessity. With a little tweaking and packaging, you can make even the most necessary baby christening gifts the most interesting. You can combine a small prayer with the Holy Bible and gift it to the baby child. The prayer, and the way it is written, matters the most. You can get it handwritten from professionals, or get it printed on a thick la... (read more) Author: Caroline Miller

11. The Anugraha Reiki System of Healing November 05, 2008 Anugraha Reiki is one of the many forms of the popular Reiki system of healing. Reiki has its origins traced back to Japan where the practice was developed by a Tendai Budhhist named Mikao Usui in 1922. He was said to have discovered the technique after a 21-day retreat on Mount Kurama. After undergoing meditation, fasting and prayer during the retreat, Usui claimed to have received some mystical revelation and was handed down the knowledge as well as the spiritual power for healing. Reiki has been known to be fairly easy and simple to use. Everyone is said to be able to employ the ... (read more) Author: Cristian Stan

12. The Content of Received Prayer , and the Bible November 04, 2008 Personal sin must be removed if God is to “hear” our prayers. “Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God ... so that He does not hear” (Isa 59:2). The only way our sin problem can be resolved - is by the blood of Christ (See, “The Foundation for Received Prayer and the Bible” for this discussion). Once sin is removed, one would do well to imitate the disciples request; “Lord, teach us to pray ...” (Lk 11:1). That request - if answered - provides hope for being able to place content before God that results in positive activity. The First Prayer - “Metanoia” So... (read more) Author: Robin Calamaio

13. The perfect answer November 03, 2008 You may have many questions; questions that borders your mind and seeks to destroy you at all cost, the perfect answer to all your questions is prayer. Dear, prayer is a communication between Our Father and his children wherein lies all grace and answers. Sometimes you wonder is it is really you; that it is strange that all things seem to be going different in spite of all promises. It is at such times that the devil, our enemy, takes steps to do his worst if we’re not careful. He sets up many horrible scenes before our pure eyes and makes them so horrible that we are persuaded to believe... (read more) Author: Wilfred Tunyira

14. Communicating with God: The Great Feeling of Communicating with God October 27, 2008 You don’t need to be a Christian or a church regular to be communicating with God. We need Him more than ever because life carries with it a lot of challenges. And these challenges can sometimes be too much for us to handle alone. In order to make it through in one piece, you will need the help of others. And more often than not, you will need the help of the One who has given you life. But there’s no need to be overwhelmed. Communicating with God is an opportunity for you to understand more of yourself and what life has in store for you. It is a journey of discovery in itself. God... (read more) Author: Michael Lee

15. Change me, o lord October 24, 2008 Change me, o lord Lately I have grown very discouraged over what we Christians call counseling. Right now there are more trained Christian counselors than in all of church history. And there are multitudes of "how to" books and relationship manuals available, offering spiritual advice on every subject, from marriage to physical fitness to child-rearing. Yet, tragically, there are more troubled individuals, marriages and families in the church than ever before. The turmoil in Christian homes today is unspeakable -- and, beloved, this ought not to be so. Let me say up front, I am not ag... (read more) Author: martin erhard

16. Praying From A Bad Spot October 24, 2008 At the wedding, Mary said to Jesus, “ They have no wine.” You can extrapolate a lot from this. And that is the statement of the truth of just where you are right now in consultation with the Lord. It might be relative lack, major lack, or varying points of difficulty. A situation may seem so overwhelming that the prayer is just heal me, get me out of this, or get me to this. But you can be in a bad spot, and discuss it with the Lord, right from that bad spot, with the still surrounding uncertainty that this may not be resolved now, any time soon or at all, but at the same tim...

17. Our Prayers Are Making Me Sick (Part II) October 24, 2008 He Can't Be Pleased With Us "Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose." David Brainerd I know I'm not. And I'm not even God (thank goodness). Ah, yes, another Sunday down the drain. Another Sunday without a mention of Jesus (the only exception being the fact His Name came up in one of the new worship songs). Another Sunday without a real concern for the lost of our city. I'm sensing a pattern here. Let me interject here that there seems to be something up here in New England. New Hampshire in particular... (read more) Author: Ray Dudley

18. Where Are You in Your Walk of Faith? October 24, 2008 The greatest legacy of all is to know God, from which every other legacy gains meaning and purpose. The more we know God, the more we trust Him. Knowing God is a process that takes  a lifetime, with markers along the way that indicate our progress. The 4 Markers of Faith Marker #1 — Trusting God   In a relationship with God no two people are alike, and none of us will experience God in exactly the same way. God is completely true and trustworthy, and He will prove himself to you. Do you trust God with your eternity? Do you trust God with your daily life? Why are we quick to t...

19. Our Prayers Are Making Me Sick October 20, 2008 Our Prayers Are Making Me Sick. I'm sorry if you recently read this article and have come back only to find out it's been altered, but, the more I read my own writing the more I wanted to puke over the pablum I wrote. The truth is are prayers are killing us. Actually, it's the quality of our prayers that are killing us. Did you know (and there are many that don't) that it's possible to pray all night for someone or something? Have you ever heard of David Brainerd? How is it that were not ashamed of our anemic approach to the throne? Where are those that believe in approaching t... (read more) Author: Ray Dudley

20. The Foundation For Received Prayer, And the Bible October 16, 2008 We pray because we need. We pray when we intuitively know “the need” is beyond human capacity to meet. Prayer is simply an utterance from an individual to “God.” It is no more complex than that. But questions necessarily follow. First, is there actually ... “God”? If so, can He hear? Does He hear? Can He respond? Does He respond? Prayer is pointless if He cannot, or does not, receive it and act upon it. Fortunately, the Bible addresses this matter in great detail. The purpose of this Article is to expose the foundation upon which successful transactions can occur between an individ... (read more) Author: Robin Calamaio

21. What islam really says.... October 16, 2008 1. Spiritual Life: prayer (salah), fasting, charity giving (zakah), pilgrimage (hajj), love for Allah and His Messenger, love for truth and humanity for the sake of Allah, hope and trust in Allah at all times and doing good for the sake of Allah. 2.

22. How You Can Use Prayers to Save Your Marriage October 16, 2008 According to spiritualism, the prayer is to discover and develop the divinity which can work a lot in every problem of life.

25. Stop Drinking Alcohol.. Willingness to Stop Drinking October 10, 2008 How a person can stop drinking largely depends on their ability to recognize that a problem exists. Once that occurs they must then focus on several key factors, which over time, will help the alcoholic develop the coping skills needed to make it through recovery and into permanent sobriety.

The ability to incorporate these principles into the daily life of the alcoholic is a difficult but rewarding transition that is called recovery. Recovery serves as a prelude to perma...
