  • Where is the Peace I've Been Looking For? - Do you like being you? Are you satisfied being you. Sounds like some silly questions doesn't it. Are these really silly or are these questions worth pondering. Many of us get to middle age and all of our lives we have strived to become. Become what you say? Become what we think we are to be. Why not just be. Be who you are. You have a Father in Heaven who loves you very much and created you in His image. You are thinking, how can He love me when all I've done is turned my back on Him. Guess what, He knows these things about you - but superseding this He sees the real you - the one He created you to be.
  • The Wisdom of God and Supreme Knowledge - The wisdom of God is the Source of true wisdom, and He grants it generously to those who sincerely seek wisdom, ask for it in faith, showing a wholesome, reverential fear of Him.(Prov 2:1-7; James 1:5-8) Divine wisdom in the absolute sense is found in God, who is “wise alone” in this sense.

  • Does the Prosperous Mindset Still Work? - I have seen and heard a few presentations lately on "Prosperity Mindset" and I wanted to talk about something that is worth considering.
  • One Way to be a Good Steward of Your Company - When you have come to the conclusion that God has given you leadership over your company to bring glory to Him and expand His Kingdom on earth, you have been given a key that will open up to many blessings for you and those you serve. Another way to further your alignment with these Christian principles, would be to team up with an organization such as the Christian Chamber of Commerce in your area. The Christian Chamber of Commerce provides a blueprint and tools to help lead Christian organizations in a manner that is pleasing to God, that honors Him by demonstrating love for and obedience to Him and that serves others in a Christ-like manner. Encouragement, promotion and marketing are also ways in which the Christian Chamber of Commerce offers support to Christian-led businesses.
  • Is It Time to Quit, or Are You Simply Afraid? - "You give up too easily," is what my 10-year old next door neighbor, Mike, told me in 1972 or so when I wanted to quit playing our game of chase.

  • From Goddiva's Browsers to Yours: The Top 10 Fashion Websites - We love search engines, but they run on algorithms, not creative juices. It's never okay to wear a white tie with a frilled shirt, but try asking a search engine this, and it would only send you to sites that will sell you a frilled shirt or a tie, if not both. This is where Goddiva's Top 10 Fashion Websites enters the picture. We love fashion, that's a given, but we also have the fashion chops to back this liking with. We chose our top ten sites based on our working knowledge of what works and what doesn't. We look for depth and breadth and diversity.

  • God Wants You to Prosper - For over 35 years I have taught that Christians should be prosperous, yes, God wants us to prosper and be in health. I know some groups don't like this message and other groups abuse it. The groups that don't believe it stay in their poverty mindset because they think that is what they are supposed to do. And the groups that abuse it make God sound like an ATM machine. Both of them really bother me! I don't get mad at the people because I know they being taught these mindsets and think that anything to the contrary goes against God's will. So, I get upset with those in positions of authority who have taught these lies.
  • What is a Miracle? - What do you consider the miracles in your life? When you narrowly avoid a car accident? When you get to the post office just in time? The birth of your children? ThumbPeople, Inc.'s character, Thumbuddy, reminds us that it is not just the fortunate things that happen in our lives that are miracles, but that we ourselves are miracles. "The first definition of the word miracle is an amazing or wondrous occurrence. The second definition is a marvelous event manifesting a supernatural act of God," explains Thumbuddy creator and ThumbPeople founder Mark Arens. "The fact that you are one-of-a-kind surely qualifies you as a miracle.
  • The Conversion King Is Dead; Long Live The Conversion God! - It seems that the financial crisis is on everybody’s mind and web merchants are certainly no exception. As we enter the all-important Holiday shopping season, consumers are anxious about the economy, and their spending is coming into question. Just about the only group with higher levels of anxiety than these consumers are the retailers selling to them, and online merchants are no exception. Nobody knows what to expect going forward. You might think that online retailers cut their ad spends during uncertain times and many certainly have done so.
  • Whom Can You Trust Now? - Over a period of time, bad habits will always catch up with you. Two very bad habits in our culture today have caught up with us in a rather dramatic and serious way. They are lack of responsibility and entitlement. The habit of not taking responsibility for one's actions is at an all time high. "It's not my fault," is uttered almost everywhere these days. The belief that it is always someone else's fault for one's problems has become common thinking. And then there's entitlement, from the womb to the tomb. More and more people are buying into the philosophy that everyone deserves to have anything and everything that they want. And, if they can't afford to have everything that they want, then someone, like the government, should give it to them, one way or another.
  • Is It Possible To Make Money On Squidoo? - Squidoo is a popular free service that allows anybody to create a single-page website (called a "lens") on any subject that interests them in ten minutes flat or less. It was conceived and delivered by Seth Godin, author of best selling business books such as "Permission Marketing". The lenses can be about anything, such as ideas, fashions, people, places, sports, hobbies, pets, products, religion, philosophy, politics, and of course, business. People who generate lenses are known as lensmasters. The main purpose of a Squidoo lens is to recommend, advise and point to more detailed content elsewhere on the web. You might think of Squidoo.com as a huge user-generated network or directory. It has the dynamic atmosphere of a lively online community.
  • Are Weeds Growing In Your Head? - I have written before about how thoughts can be "weed seeds." Negative or destructive thoughts in our mind are very similar to weeds in a flowerbed or garden. They will grow and flourish unless we get them out! So what about the words that we speak? Can they be "weed seeds" too? The Bible says that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. In order to speak something it needs to be in our mind or heart; and then we say it. Many times this happens simultaneously. Speaking something reinforces the thought or belief to ourselves. For example, you may have heard someone recently say, "If things don't change, we are going into a depression in our country." Those are words. They plant seeds.
  • Divine Sanity - Mortals are insane simply because they are mortal, which is why there is such a great need for divine sanity in our world. How can I say that, you may inquire with shocked amazement??? Simple, because fear is what has driven them all insane and that explains why mortals live in a fantasy world.
  • Your oxygen mask IS working - Have you ever been on a plane and listened to the safety announcements? I know, when you are a regular air passenger, you get into the habit of blocking out the safety announcements because they are always the same and always boring. But let's see how well you have listened the first time. What do you do when the cabin pressure drops? Yes, yes, you grab the oxygen mask that drops out and put it over your mouth so that you can continue breathing. And only then do you help the passenger next to you with his or her oxygen mask, even if it is a child or a frail person. There was a recent incident where a plane rapidly lost air pressure and the oxygen masks were dropped to the passengers.
  • The Shield of Faith - Simply put, faith is believing, taking God at His word without reasoning or questioning. When I get ready to sit down in my chair at the office I don't wonder if the chair is going to support me. I sit down **anticipating** that it **will** support me. This is the attitude we must have towards God and the many wonderful promises He has given us.
  • Movie Monster Legends: Ten of the greatest ever onscreen beasts - Some monsters never die. Some of them keep on burrowing ever deeper into the collective unconscious until they are rooted there for all time. Here we'll take a look at ten of the film industry's most unforgettable creatures.
  • Are You Tired of Your Job? - Is your present job fulfilling? Are you energized and inspired at work? Sadly, a lot of people just can't wait to get out of their present job and move into something new and exciting. They are tired of all the hassles and challenges at their job.
  • Get Your Foot Out of Your Mouth - Have you ever been guilty of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time? It's embarrassing, isn't it? A friend and I went to dinner at a buffet after work. We finished our main entree and decided to grab some dessert. As we made our way to the dessert table I began to say something about my friend's appearance but stopped short. I told myself it wasn't necessary since we would be going home soon. It would only make my friend feel self-conscious.
  • How would you like your potatoes? - On a recent trip to South Africa I discovered a book called "Faith like Potatoes" that was written by Angus Buchan. It is the biography of an Eastern Cape farmer who became an evangelist. It is not the kind of book I would normally read, because my perception of evangelists is that they are very charismatic individuals who are brilliant at convincing less charismatic people to follow their teachings. And as you know by now I like to make up my own mind about things, and I like to show others the same courtesy. The title of the book comes from a belief that faith should be like potatoes - easily available, nutritious and versatile, so that you can apply it to many different situations.
  • How to Get to Heaven. - Assuming that the preachers are correct in that there is a Heaven to be gained and a hell to avoid in the afterlife (Maybe the real life since it seems to be eternal and this one doesn't). How can one be assured of gaining the one and avoiding the other? Seems a simple question, but of course as soon as we introduce the ideas of men it gets complicated. Of course there are those who would say just accept Christ and you are in. As true as this sounds is that all there is to it? If Hitler accepted Christ at some point in his life, will he be there to greet us when we arrive?
  • Sword of the Spirit - The Bible is often called the sword of the spirit. Indeed, it is a mighty weapon in the hands of those who know how to wield it. Hebrews 4:12 tell us that the Word of God is alive, active and full of power. God and His Word are one. The first chapter of John's Gospel tells us that in the beginning was the Word. It then goes on to tell us that the Word was made flesh and dwelled on earth. Do you recognize that description? That's talking about Jesus. We know that Jesus is God and that He came to earth to redeem us.
  • Freedom of Religion?...Yeah RIGHT!...As Long as it is Theirs! - This is not about us. It is about a religious right movement aimed at controlling our private lives, who we can be with, what we can do in our bedrooms, and with our bodies. And some how, they have ordained themselves with the superiority of God in their pursuit of this righteous behaviour that their beliefs are the only way to salvation. Wow! Such arrogance...
  • Where is God when I need Him? - Despite the desperation and impending disaster this question implies, it is actually a most comical and quite funny question to ask. The fact that we are living in a high tech world during an information age aside, the fact that you must ask implies you have never heard the Gospel. Since you have never heard the Gospel you have no clue to your Identity in Christ. Since you have no clue about your Identity in Christ you are required to die like all mortals because Identity in Christ is the only option to mortality. That you are in need of God actually means that the defenses you have in place are keeping God out in your own mind. Is anyone starting to see why this question is comically tragic and tragically COMICAL?
  • Are You Following God's Will? - "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts." ---Isaiah 55:8-9, New King James Version If I could pick the single most important key to living a successful Christian life it would be this: Get with God's program. Many years ago I was caught in a financial pickle. I was in constant fear of being taken to court. I had the answer.
  • You Are Not Perfect! - How many people do you know who are perfect and never make a mistake? Thoughts of past failures can be very defeating. So many times, our past failures, mistakes and shortcomings hinder us from receiving God's promises. No, we are not perfect; we don't always measure up and we often fall short. That's why we needed a savior who not only paid the price for our eternal life but also paid the price for our sins. Just as eternal life is freely given, so also is forgiveness. But, many times Christians measure their worth and value to God by how they live their lives.
  • Faith in God - What is faith in God, how does one have faith in God, where does faith in God come from and what does faith do? These are some of the issues we hope to address and the questions we will try to answer in the course of this investigation. One might almost ask, who is this God we have faith in but let's settle the issue of faith before we take on a definition of God. Faith in its most basic sense is believing God but to believe God you must first know what He said. Once you have heard, then faith is as simple as taking God at His word. So what is this great thing God has spoken that we may believe, this brings us to the Gospel.
  • Can You Control the Price of Gas? - Football season is back. Football fans everywhere are excited, enthused and hopeful for their favorite team! And, of course, there have been a lot of preseason interviews. I'm not a huge football fan, but while driving last week, I punched up the sports station and I heard part of an interview on the radio. The host was talking to NFL player Mario Williams, who plays for the Houston Texans.
  • How Can I be Immortal? - Long answer short: "Because God Said So!" Well now, that says it all, what more is there to add that can say it any better?
  • How Can I Know God? - If you consider yourself a Christian and are still asking this question, then that is a witness to the fact that you must not understand what being in Christ means. To prove that this is true; we propose two scripture references we believe will clarify both of these issues. Knowledge of Christ and an intimate relationship with God, both mean the same thing. Knowing about God is not the same thing as abiding in the refreshing of His presence. Which is why all mortal churches are still lost and out of touch with the Truth.
  • Are You A Sleep Walker Or A Light Bearer? - Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked yourself the questions: Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is it that God placed me on this earth to do?
  • What is the Church? - What is the Church? Who is the Church? Where is the Church? Is there a True Church, is there a false Church and how can you tell the difference? Unlike the simplistic and unassuming appearance of these queries, these are perhaps some of the most important questions that can ever be answered. The answer itself is the most important piece of understanding you could ever possess for the transformation and empowerment of your life.
  • How to experience God. - There are some who would argue that you cannot experience God in this life. Then there are those who will argue that there is no God to experience. Some will say that the transcendence of God is beyond the knowledge of man and the experience of God is impossible.
  • Montreal Christian Church Praising God - What does it mean to praise God? Praising God is what we are created to do here on earth. This is why we were created, to give praise and glory to our Lord God who gave us life. One of the first and best ways to praise God is to just start giving thanks.
  • What is The New Reformation? - The New Reformation is a reestablishment of the Gospel Truth of Union with God.
  • Is Morality a God Given or an Inborn Trait? - The idea that man needs God to tell us how to behave morally, to be kind and thoughtful toward our fellow man, to aid others without any promise of benefit to ourselves, is a central tenet of most of the major religions.
  • What to Know About Web Hosting Features - Business owners find great value in web hosting features because each choice is an opportunity to provide customers with certain benefits. All of the features supplied with web hosting plans is meant to provide customers with added convenience and the opportunity to save money based on the savings that are passed on by shop owners who pay low monthly rates for web hosting plans.
  • The Aching Void - "Nature will not permit a vacuum. It will be filled with something. Human need is really a great spiritual vacuum which God seeks to fill..." George Washington Carver We are all daily employed in filling the vacuums of human need. It drives us to fill our stomachs with food and drink, to fill our world with relationships, and our minds with a steady stream of information. We seem compelled to continually fill the envelope of our time. We say we long for time to do nothing, and yet the vacuum must be filled and alas, if we are not doing every minute, we believe we are wasting that commodity. How about drawers, pockets and purses? They never stay empty for long, no matter how often we purge them. They refill seemingly without our assistance! We cannot tolerate a half-filled cup of coffee or tea.
  • Is There a Simple Solution to the Problem of Why God Allows Evil to Occur? - One of the most difficult questions for priests, ministers, and theologians to answer is – Why does a kind, compassionate, personal God that answers prayers and looks out for our personal welfare, allow so much evil to occur in the world? This is often called "the problem of evil.
  • Did Man Create God? - In an era when politicians must prove they are religious to get elected and the proclamations of their ministers can get them into trouble, when schools are urged to teach creationism, when presidents and main stream movies proclaim the virtues of Intelligent Design, when fundamentalists want to destroy Western civilization in the name of religion, and when ninety-five percent of the people in the world believe that God created man, we need to ask the question, do they have it all backward - Did Man Create God? If man created God then many of the precepts that humans base much of their beliefs on, are false. Asking if man created the theory of a personal God that answers prayers is not the same as asking if God exists.
  • Did the Origin of Life on Earth Require God's Help? - 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. However, the question of where the first primitive life form came from is not so easy. Even such notable scientists as Sir Francis Crick, the discoverer along with James Watson of the structure of DNA stated, "we cannot decide whether the origin of life on Earth was an extremely unlikely event or almost a certainty." A number of scientists, including Crick, found the problem so difficult that they suggested an alien origin.
  • God and Love - When it comes to God And love, God’s love toward us is that of a father toward his children. ( Matt. 5:45) “That you may be sons of your Father in heaven.” He spares nothing that is for our good, no matter what the price is. God gave His only - begotten Son, Jesus Christ who died for our sins that we may be saved. (Rom.5:8) God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This was an exercise of the Divine will in deliberate choice, made without assignable cause save that which lies in the nature of God Himself. ( Matt 5:44) Jesus commanded: “Love your enemies.
  • How To Build A List That's Keen To Read Your Mail And Buy Your Stuff - If your website is set up to make quick sales and not to turn traffic into customers through a process known as "permission marketing"*, then you are making a big mistake. You can certainly build a great website with good content and lots of ads and links to pages designed to presell your products and link through to the product sales pages. You can even succeed in making a nice little income this way, provided you are driving enough targeted traffic to your site. But how much of the traffic drives off again without a trace, never to return? And of those people who click through and make a purchase, how many ever return to your site to buy more stuff? If your site is well designed and targeted then it is quite possible that some people will return and buy again.
  • Why Satan Got Kicked Out Of Heaven - God created Lucifer, now known as Satan, as one of the three top angels in Heaven. Lucifer had responsibility for the angels assigned to worship, while Michael leads the warrior angels who oppose evil and unrighteousness, and Gabriel guides the angels assigned to bring God’s messages to people. As part of his creation, God gave angels a certain amount of free will. They didn’t get as much freedom as the humans God created, but they got some. It’s not news that letting people–and angels–make their own decisions means some dreadful decisions get made. And so it was with Lucifer.
  • Overcoming Discouragement - Dean Forrest was 33 years old and had five children when the accident happened. He would later become my father-in-law. In 1963, Dean was involved in a very serious accident at work involving liquid ammonia. He saved two of his co-workers, but was badly burned. He spent the next two years in and out of the hospital and contracted pneumonia 18 times. Finally, in 1965, he was told to move to a dryer climate, but the Doctor warned my future mother-in-law to be prepared. He told her that Dean would only last about 6 months, maybe a year at the most. So in 1965, the family moved from Columbus, Ohio to Roswell, New Mexico - Dean, his wife Nancy, and five children, ages twelve and under. He had lost his job and his income. He had lost his house. His insurance was canceled.
  • The Transgression of the Unnamed Prophet - Then the king said to the man of God, "Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward." But the man of God said to the king, "If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place.
  • The Unnamed Prophet - Then Solomon's servant, Jeroboam the son of Nebat, ... rebelled against the king. The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; ... ...the Prophet Ahijah ... took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. And he said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you (but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth ..., Chemosh ..., and Milcom ..., and have not walked in My ways ... as did his father David. And Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom may return to the house of David: ...
  • David and Abigail - Now there was a man in ... Carmel, [who] was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep.... The name of the man was Nabal {lit: "a fool"}, and the name of his wife Abigail {lit: "source of joy"} ... a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance;
