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.

This is the most important and first commandment.

Who would have thought that a plant could be a witness to a crime – and even testify against the perpetrator? Well, it is true! In the early 1970’s experiments were done on ordinary houseplants, by researchers who connected a polygraph machine to a plant.

Miracles
What is a miracle? What role, if any, do traditional psychotherapies ascribe to the power of the divine to effect healing. Until and unless the role of divine energy can be recognised for its true role in our lives any attempts at healing will fall short of our intentions.

Why Worry
The possibility of almost 400 Old Testament prophesies coming to fulfillment in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, apart from God's sovereign control of history, staggers the imagination.

Let Your Will, Not Mine, Be Done
Can I be honest with you? There are days when I just don’t feel like getting up in the morning. I’m noticing this a lot lately because the weather is changing and it’s pretty cold early in the morning when I awake to start my day. There are days when I move that blanket off of me and quickly snatch it back because it’s too cold to get up.

Knowing The Holy Spirit!
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth.”
ACTS 1:8
Thousands of evangelists from more than 130 countries have attended the International Conference for Itinerant Evangelists, sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Just before I was to speak, I received a note from Billy Graham that read, “I consider this one of the most important addresses of the entire conference.”

Prejudice is a a symbol that more information is required to form an opinion. Differences are celebrated in enlightened societies as new life.

New Year Stress Free
In said state of skillful yielding an overwhelming joy comes upon you. If one trait above all others presents, (and it will) it is constant laughter.

The constant bombardment of thought becomes - funny; spilled milk funny; the sleepy egocentric unconscious reactions of others-riotous.
