Most theologians attempt to explicate beliefs; and some merely express their own experience of the divine. Theologians ask questions such as, 'What is the nature of God?' 'What does it mean for God to be singular?' 'If people believe in God as a duality or trinity, what do these terms signify?' 'Is God transcendent, immanent, or some mix of the two?' 'What is the relationship between God and the universe, and God and humankind?'

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
"Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come."

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

“When you get this concept into your mind and heart it will totally revolutionize your life.” That's just the way the Lord said it to me. And just what is this revolutionary concept? His all-consuming, unconditional love for me. (And each of you can say the same.)

Have you been many times disappointed; have you undergone defeat in several endeavours, have you felt your heart crushed until it bled ? Rise up again and dream a new dream ; and say to yourself : I must have success; I must have the victory; I must have the prize - at all cost.

Are you presently in circumstances where you feel that God has been so unkind and unfair to you? The solution does not lie in complaining and weeping before God but in maintaining and strengthening your covenant with Him. And all will soon turn out the way they are supposed to.

You lost all your money; you lost your job; your business collapsed ; your shaky marriage finally shattered – even though you’d spent long hours in prayer ? Does any of this look like what you are going through and you’re wondering why God had permitted things to get this bad? Still believe, because you’ve just entered the atmosphere in which miracles happen.

There are very few marriages, where both the partners are satisfied fully. Go around and make a small survey. The results may look shocking but they are true.

Love, the feeling that makes a person new and feel heavenly. Love, a feeling that changes life within a moment.

I am a lover of words--their meanings, colorations and shades. There's a song which has dominated my attention for the past couple of weeks. From the first time I heard it, I began to play it so many times I've lost count. I think it's a beautiful song, of course, but there's so much more to it than that. I'm sharing the music with you here but I really want to suggest it not as a song, but as a prayer--a prayerful preparation for a conversation with our Heavenly Father.

Ever wondered why God chose to come down from heaven as a man? There are four reasons.

Birthday celebrations are becoming very common. Earlier not everyone used to celebrate birthdays.

You and I can pause during the day, draw apart, and have fellowship with God. We can walk with our heavenly Father anytime we make a decision of our will to set time aside for communion with Him "in the cool of the day."

A few years ago my dear friend, Robbie, gave me new insight into the significance of the song "Here I Am, Lord." We must have been singing it in a service and I told her how much I liked it. She said something like, “But have you ever thought of the seriousness of the words—about what you’re saying when you sing this song?”

And, therein, lies the beginning of another journey with the Lord…

Wonder...a sense of wonder. Isn't that where we all end up when we consider our God, His creation, the works of His mighty hand? And I use the word "wonder" in two ways here: "to express curiosity", which is where I start, and "to be marveled and astonished," which is where I end up each time. But thinking about our God and His creation; how He works and has worked; what the promise of eternal life in His presence does give us cause to wonder. How awesome is our God!

We all make mistakes. Howsoever intelligent we may be, or wealthy, or experienced, we all make mistakes. Read on...

What kind of friend you are? What kind of friends do you have?

What is it that you purpose to achieve – this week; this month; this year? It is important to accurately identify it. It is more important to tirelessly pursue it - by asking God for it.

The loss of a beloved pet can be as devastating as losing a family member. Afterall, pets can even be more lovingly unconditional than people. If only the amount of love showered on our pets can be equal to the amount of years added to its life, our pets would live as long as we want them too. But as everything else that has a beginning, so too, do they have an ending.

Learn from the mistakes of the two sons of Aaron who offered strange fire. Let us come before the Lord with a holy reverence.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Religion is just the work of man. Everyone has some sort of religion or rules they live by, but this is a trap for Christians.

establishes a covenant with his people.

truly believe in something, having faith that it will
happen, then it really will happen. Some people don't

desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them and

Organised religion poses a very limited version of God.
At the heart of most religious life is still worship, rather than love for one another in day to day life. Why would God care so much about being worshipped and thanked all the time? Does he have such a big ego?
