Discipline of Prayer: Always Connected
A daily train ride supplies insight into the nature of prayer: the power is always present if we are willing to stay connected. This awareness of God's omnipresence is the grand thing David celebrates. Jesus reminds us of it as His parting gift before ascending to the Father.

How to Interpret the Bible: The Divine Throne-Chariot (or UFO's in the Bible)
A series of articles on How to Interpret the Bible, by Lauretta Lueck, author of The Many Waters.
To Ezekiel, what he saw was a creature, and the LORD rode on this live animal of unknown origin.
What the writers of the Qumran text describe is a chariot that, supposedly, came from heaven and was driven by angels. Obviously these people were familiar with chariots, but because these were exceptionally beautiful they may have thought they were heavenly and the occupants angels. Who else could they be?

The Two Most Important Commandments - Love
Love is mentioned well over 350 times in the Bible. I'm sure God must be trying to tell us something. We will start our study with Matthew 22:37-38; And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the most important and first commandment.

A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION - Wisdom From The Fulfillment Forum Books & Study Courses
At times when we think honestly, if we stop deceiving ourselves, we are forced to admit that life per se can become an unmitigated horror. Not only are we threatened by wars, financial shifts and joblessness, the calamities of nature and narcissistic manipulators, the very earth itself treats us with supreme indifference.

No Star-Studded Career
Let us grasp from the outset that success as understood in the usual secular sense of the word is not promised in the kingdom of God. God never promised anybody a star-studded career. He never promised achievement in the worldly understanding of the word. In fact, He seem to promise the exact opposite.

Slow Leak
I recently just had 4 new tires put on my mini van but soon
afterwards, I noticed the front passenger tire kept losing air.
Each time air was added to it, it would soon leak out again.
This was a call for action, time to take it back to the garage
and let them tell me what I didn't want to hear. I had run over
a tiny nail somewhere and now my tire was no longer good
as new. But, after a small plug was inserted it is now back
to it's original state, holding air and just like new again. I
realized this is alot like our Christian walk. Is yours leaking?

When Bad Things Happen (Part 1)
Rabbi Kushner could not comprehend how a loving, supposedly merciful and compassionate and just God, could allow such a tragedy to befall him and his loved ones. After all, he considered himself a God-fearing, obedient man who was living a more religiously committed life than most people. So how could a God of justice permit so great an injustice?

Dark Cages
