“Gloom existed first.” Those of you who have ever been in India or any tropical country, and have seen the bursting of the monsoon, will understand the majesty of these words. I remember three poets’ attempts to picture this. Milton says, “No light, but rather darkness visible.” Kalidasa says, “Darkness which can be penetrated with a needle,” but none comes near this Vedic description, “Gloom hidden in gloom.” Everything is parching and sizzling, the whole creation seems to be burning away, and for days it has been so, when one afternoon there is in one corner of the horizon a speck of cloud, and in less than half an hour it has extended unto the whole earth, until, as it were, it is covered with cloud, cloud over cloud, and then it bursts into a tremendous deluge of rain.

The cause of creation was described as will. That which existed at first became changed into will, and this will began to manifest itself as desire. This also we ought to remember, because we find that this idea of desire is said to be the cause of all we have. This idea of will has been the corner – stone of both the Buddhist and the Vedantic system, and later on, has penetrated into German philosophy and forms the basis of Schopenhauer’s system of philosophy. It is here we first hear of it.

”Now first arose desire, the primal seed of mind.

Sages, searching in their hearts by wisdom, found the bond,

Between existence and non – existence.”

It is a very peculiar expression; the poet ends by saying that “perhaps He even does not know.” We find in this hymn, apart from its poetical merits, that this questioning about the universe has assumed quite definite proportions, and that the minds of these sages must have advanced to such a state, when all sorts of common answers would not satisfy them. We find that they were not even satisfied with this Governor above. There are various other hymns where the same idea comes in, about how this all came, and just as we have seen, when they were trying to find a Governor of the universe, a Personal God, they were taking up one Deva after another, raising him up to that position, so now we shall find that in various hymns one or other idea is taken up, and expanded infinitely and made responsible for everything in the universe.

Spiritual Self Improvement and New Age Parapsychology Books – or Perhaps Mind Body Spirit!

If we look at the terms new age and spiritual, we find similarities, where spiritual refers to soul or spirit and new age has been described as ‘of or relating to spiritual and consciousness raising movements’. New age books encompass health, medicine, philosophy, religion and the occult. And yet, the term new age was only coined in recent decades, mainly from the 1970′s. So that begs the question – is there such a thing as a New Age?

Prophetic warning to Christians & Jews about the New World Order

The expression New World Order has been around for years. Hitler used it (I saw it on a newspaper in Jerusalem from Nazi Germany). It refers to a plan to have a one world government which is opposed to God and Christ. It is the same spirit as Nazism. The New World Order is the Fourth Reich. Pat Robertson wrote a book by that title. Those behind the cabal to create it are David Rockefeller,Kissinger, Brzezinsky, & the other politicos, European Royalty, world bankers and CEO’s of multinationals.

The Initiative to Learn Quran Online

These days many Muslims want to learn Quran online. It is highly commendable if any person, irrespective of the religion wants to learn the Quran. Of course, we cannot limit the Quran learning to the Muslims only because it is a book of Hidaya for the entire humankind. It is in fact good if any person who is not a Muslim want to learn Quran online.

]]>

Evangelism has moved in the last 20 years from being a monologue (one-sided conversation) to a dialog (two-way conversation.) There are people all around us who are receptive to spiritual discussions and open genuine spiritual guidance. George Barna sites, “That 62% of American adults consider themselves to be not merely religious, but deeply spiritual.” This means that there is more than a 50-50 chance of getting into some type of spiritual conversation with people who travel in and out of your life. Learning to engage people in a meaningful, spiritual dialog is critical for a spiritual leader.

Here are four ideas for increasing the spiritual conversations in your life:

1) Make It a Priority

It is important for a leader to think strategically about their conversations throughout the week. If you don’t plan it or make room for it, the likelihood is that it is not going to get done. I agree with Brian McLaren’s statement, “We should count conversations rather than conversions, not because I don’t believe in conversions, but because I don’t think we’ll get many conversions if we keep emphasizing them.” The number of conversations you have is directly related to the number of conversions you will see happen over a year. In coaching church leaders we use the 3 by 5 rule. If leaders are going to be serious about connecting with people they need to uncover at least 5 new contacts a day, equaling about 35 a week, which will lead to 3 “sit-downs” for a meaningful conversation.

How many contacts does it take for you to get a meaningful sit-down with a person?

2) Pray for Opportunities

I remember praying one morning, “Lord, it has been a while time since I led someone to you. Open the doors and show me who I need to speak to today.” As soon as I finished praying that prayer a man walked over to me and said, “Doesn’t that book (my pocket Bible) get old after a while?” which I replied, “It gets better every time I read it. Would you like to read it?” He took the Bible and began reading it. This resulted in a number of great conversations that eventually led to him and his family to attend our church and embrace Jesus as Lord and Savior.

When is the last time you asked God to open new doors of opportunity for you?

3) Get out and into your community

All too often we are so isolated from the world in which you live. Look at your calendar and see what fills your week. I encourage church planters to think about tithing their time to community service and interaction. As a planter I put in 60 plus hours a week. This meant about six hours a week out in the community like playing in a noon basketball league on Tuesdays and Thursdays or coaching my children’s baseball and football teams. My week could be filled with serving on various community committees within the school district or through the Chamber of Commerce. It could also involve attending community events or joining professional groups like Toastmasters International. I could easily fill up my six hours a week.

Opportunities abound when we get out into our communities. Jon Cawston, a church planter in Plainfield, IL., joined a local entrepreneurial networking group. After a couple of months of being in this group, he was wondering why he was there and was feeling out of place. Then a crisis took place within the group and he discovered that he instantly become “the chaplain” of the group which led to spiritual conversations.

Can you imagine all the spiritual conversations that could take place if your staff and leaders were encouraged to tithe their time to community service and interaction?

4) Establish routines and cultivate relationships

Beyond the tithe of your time in your community I encourage leaders to establish routines and patterns so that you build relational presence with business owners and servers. Think strategically about all your interactions and pray that you can be a redemptive influence within that social network. A couple of tell tale signs of this is, “Do people know your name?” or “Do you know peoples names?” Reggie McNeal loves to ask his servers, “I am going to pray for my meal and I always pray for my server. Is there anything I can pray for you specifically?” I can see this really working as you cultivate relationships and move them from the mundane to the spiritual.

What places do you frequent in your community?

Jesus, Paul and James used the analogy of the farmer when it comes to spiritual leaders patiently sowing, working and cultivating the work of the gospel. When it comes to engaging in spiritual conversations you need to have an attitude of a farmer, faithfully working and cultivating your community. The first two suggestions deal with the leader’s attitude, the next two suggestions deal with putting leaders in a position for engagement.

I learned a simple lesson over twenty-five years ago from an old missionary who said these words to me, “Gary you can’t serve God where you are not!” That statement helped me move away from dreaming about future ministry to engaging myself in the daily personal ministry right in front of me every day.

New Body Art Frees Teen Girls To Tattle, Tease, Taunt, & Tell

December 14, 2010

(PRWEB) April 3, 2003

Milford, MAÂÂMaking a fashion statement has never been so literal. Teen girls can now use temporary facial tattoos to let the world know what’s on their minds, whether it’s whimsical, topical, or deeply personal. The FaceGraces body art system uses the power of combinations with just 4 variables:

     color

     symbol

     facial location

     and orientation

to enable teens to “secretly” say things they always wanted to express publicly.

Girls can form full, articulate sentences, not simply single words or phrases. By applying a tattoo, they can say things like

     ÂÂIÂÂm not afraid to think about love.ÂÂ

     ÂÂI need to talk about clothes.ÂÂ

     ÂÂYou ought to stop smoking.ÂÂ

     ÂÂIÂÂm able to figure out boys.ÂÂ

     and over 26,000 more.

Only girls ÂÂin the knowÂÂ can decode what is being said. But, of course, it can be an icebreaker to anyone it intrigues.

Teen girls frustrated with the limitations of conventional temporary tattoos and body art in general can now express themselves with every changing mood or thought.

ÂÂI wanted to offer a language of emotion and intention that could be beautifully translated to a girlÂÂs face,ÂÂ says Dave Diotalevi, creator of FaceGraces. ÂÂDecoration is the sole purpose of other temporary body art. ItÂÂs a one-dimensional, one-use accessory that has little depth. Giving girls a voice as well as a cosmetic was important to me. In fact, FaceGracesÂÂ slogan is: ÂÂWhy not say something while being beautiful?ÂÂÂÂ

Girls can make statements about things that affect them daily like

     friends

     dating

     shopping

     school

     music

But, they can also air their deepest thoughts about

     spirituality

     sex

     sadness

     drugs

     family, and many more.

Balancing their eloquence is the esthetic care taken to make these tattoos small, soft silhouettes that highlight a girlÂÂs features. ÂÂThese are beauty marks that attract, but never overwhelm,ÂÂ says Diotalevi, a nuclear physicist turned author and award-winning digital artist.

Easy-to-follow directions using colorful diagrams accompany the 180 tattoos in the instruction booklet. ÂÂThis is as simple as it is fun. Anyone can use FaceGraces to its fullest in minutes,ÂÂ explains Diotalevi, who defined the 37 facial locations, 9 colors, 20 symbols, and 4 orientations which make the system function. ÂÂThe second you look at it you get that ÂÂWhy didnÂÂt I think of that?ÂÂ feeling.ÂÂ

Girls arenÂÂt even limited to what has already been defined. A WILDCARD feature allows personal choices for one symbol and one facial location. This gives complete control over what they want to say.

FaceGraces is available at stores nationwide. At www.facegraces.com, girls can find answers to questions, full-color examples, and ways to enjoy the full power of the system.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – How To Give A Memorable Maid Of Honor Speech And Toast

For some, sitting down and composing a quick, perfectly said speech is second nature. And what about those that don’t even compose ahead of time but rather stand up and give an academy award winning performance impromptu? If you are either of these then I commend you and wish I had your skill. If you are not one of the few, then thankfully you can benefit from my research and experience. If you don’t have the time to write your own speech but have some extra cash, believe it or not there are actually professional wedding speech writers or CDs you can actually purchase! Though not typically as personal as writing your own from the heart, it works in a pinch.

When giving a toast and speech at a wedding you should remember the context of the audience and your main focus — the bride and her new groom. Unfortunately, I have been to way too many weddings where the maid of honor just went off on her own tangent as though the wedding were her platform for getting “noticed”. Also, please remember to limit your intake of alcoholic beverages prior to your toast. Again, I’m sure everyone has their own story of the “way too drunk to stand much less toast” person at a wedding.

The most powerful and memorable speeches I have heard carried the audience through an array of emotions. They often start out with an icebreaker that is humorous, bring you to happy tears with sincerity, then end with overwhelming stories of love and friendship. They are feel good speeches that really build up the bride. Remember this is her wedding and she choose you to be her maid of honor because she cares about you and trusts you to exemplify her in a good light on her big day. The following are some tips for creating memorable maid of honor toast and speeches.

Be informative and concise

Always portray the bride in a positive manner

Avoid stories that might excessively embarrass the bride, groom, or their family

Avoid excessive alcohol prior to your toast

Share stories that portray your close relationship with the bride. Bridesmaid101.com offers the following ideas:

o Share stories of what the bride used to share with you about the groom when she first met him.

o Tell a funny story from while you were growing up

o Talk about how you and the bride met and how long you both have known each other

o Tell the most “appropriately” embarrassing
moment you shared with the bride

o Comment on how beautiful the bride and groom look together

o Talk about a funny habit of the bride that the groom will have to live with

o Impart a spiritual statement or verse (if the bride and groom are spiritual people)

o Give words of advice to both the bride and groom

o Share wishes you have for the newlyweds (e.g., success, happiness, many babies)

Ask for input from others prior to the wedding

Practice and rehearse the speech before the big day. It is often helpful to share you speech with others and get their advice.

By putting together the perfect mix of wit, charm, and humor you are sure to create a memorable speech for the bride to remember. Write from the heart and remember you are fully capable of writing a speech that perfectly encompasses your duty as the maid of honor.

When Your Spouse Is Ready To Give Up On Your Marriage But You’re Not

I often hear from spouses who are trying desperately to hold onto their marriages while their own spouse is ready to call it quits. I hear comments like: “I’m not ready to give up on my marriage, but my spouse is. What can I do to change his mind before it’s too late? I just can’t bear the thought of my marriage ending and having to let go for good.” This is a difficult situation. But I do firmly believe that it can be done and that this situation is far from impossible.

*Siang-Yang tan, Ph.D.*

I practice the spiritual disciplines regularly, especially having a quiet time with the Lord in prayer and in his Word every morning for half an hour or longer and periodically for a few hours. I end my day with some time for Bible reading and prayer. Studying the Bible in sermon preparation also helps. I meet regularly with a few individuals as prayer partners and attend church prayer meetings and worship services weekly. My wife and I share deeply and pray together, and we do this with our teenagers, too. I also attend conferences and retreats several times a year. I am thankful for opportunities to meet or keep in touch with spiritual mentors and to mentor and disciple others.

Throughout the day, I also try to practice the presence of God by praying often. Yielding to the Holy Spirits presence and power is crucial for me. I am deeply thankful for a prayer shield of over 100 intercessors who pray for me and my family daily. I enjoy reading Christian literature, especially theological and devotional writings. I also try to live a balanced life, including exercising regularly (working out with weights twice a week), having enough rest and sleep (seven hours or more each night), following good nutritional guidelines, spending time with the family, and taking vacations.

*Gladys Mwiti, M.a.*

I have realized that in a ministry of giving oneself to others and listening to other people’s pain, it is very easy to dry up and become an icicle or a walking stalagmite all too white, but stiff, cold, and dry. When this happens, then psychotherapy or counseling soon becomes a mere motion, driving one deeper and deeper into frustration and eventual burnout. The problem is that when Gods vision is blurred and the soul gets lost in ministry, I want to run faster and faster, doing more and more, looking for the elusive worth in the Lord that my waywardness has dimmed. Burnout brings up acidity similar to that of vinegar. No one wants to be around a self-driven savior who just wants to fix up other people’s lives, often reminding them how much they have disintegrated. With this pessimism, tenderness, love, grace, caring, encouragement, sensitivity, and discernment go up in flames. Since coming to Fuller, I have also realized that drying up can also come to those in seminary and schools of psychology. Our professors try to keep us all integrated with prayer and the Word. But the reality is that psychometrics and statistics can nearly dry the spirit! Remaining spiritually alive and maintaining a keen cutting edge in ministry are priorities to me. I begin with recognizing my vulnerability am weak and can easily be drawn into running the race with the rules of excellence as outlined by the world around me. However, I have to remember that my well done is not measured by effectiveness but by faithfulness and obedience. Setting aside time to spend with the Lord daily is very important to me. I also talk to him a lot anywhere and everywhere. I lay my heart bare on everything, allowing him to search my thoughts and motives. I take his Word seriously because every quiet time is my counseling session with the Holy Spirit. I memorize Scripture. I take time to worship as I listen to Christian music. In my busy schedule, I may be waiting for a bus on some lonely road in Africa, but I will be reading some spiritual material. I take one day a week to fast and pray even though I may be busy in class or at work. Washing up alone in the kitchen is time to listen to praise. I also have two counselors who pray and care for me. I call them The Counselors Counselors. These two spiritually mature women are far away, but we are one in the Spirit. They pray, counsel, encourage, admonish, and affirm me. My husband, too, is my prayer partner. He helps as my mirror, gently nudging me when I forget my calling. I also belong to a small prayer group that meets once a week. I am enriched through our family’s time of prayer, worship, and Bible reading. Church roots are also important to me, and as I worship, I am reminded that I belong to a body that gains through my accountability in

ministry. Regularly, I take time to evaluate my work and motivations for doing it. If my goal as a psychologist is not to glorify the Lord through obedience and faithfulness, then woe is me! I don’t want to enter heaven with earthly laurels that are as ashes at Jesus feet.

*Jon Ebert, M.a.*

I strongly believe that starting the day with God’s Word makes a difference. I have found that a quiet corner of a coffee shop and the Word of God make an excellent place for grounding myself at the beginning of a day. These times generate encouragement and motivation, and I do all I can to protect these moments from chaotic schedules.

Another exercise in spiritual fitness has been in the area of spiritual perception. I have prayed to God that he would grant me a vision of him in a unique way and that this vision would create in me a continual desire to be preoccupied with him. One of the ways that God has developed this vision has been through the Scriptures and also through the writings of Jonathan Edwards. Edwards’s aesthetic style and passion for God have drawn me to magnificent vistas, allowing me to take in the vastness of God. Edwards challenges me to encounter God in everything that surrounds me. From this vista, prayer becomes the sustaining breath to satisfy a breathtaking view. I continually pray that God will develop this vision further. Search me O Lord and know my heart, test my thoughts, point out anything you find in me that makes you sad, and lead me to life everlasting (Ps. 139:23-24). A key component to spiritual fitness is brokenness. I have recognized that when I surrender all aspects of life to him, his divine light exposes and humbles. Experientially, God has used godly people in my life to convict me of the things I fail to see on my own. Surrounding myself with wise and discerning followers of Christ helps facilitate this process.

*Leslie Parrott, ed.D.*

Co-director of the Center for Relationship Development at Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, Washington The most important tool I’ve discovered for spiritual renewal came to me as a gift for my college graduation nondescript leather-bound book entitled A Guide to Prayer for Ministers and Other Servants (1983). Ordered by the church year, this guide opens the entirety of Scripture. In addition, it incorporates selected readings from spiritual classics as well as ancient and contemporary hymns. Every year of my adult life has been enriched by this spiritual companion. Another source of spiritual renewal for me is reading my favorite spiritual authors: C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Oswald Chambers, Eugene Peterson, Henri Nouwen, Philip Yancey, Luci Shaw, Walter Wagnerian, and others. Their books have been significant beyond words. I read and reread many of their works. Personal reflections through journaling, mostly prayers and dreams, have also been crucial to my renewal. I also write poetry.

For more than a decade, in fact, I’ve marked each year’s end by writing a poem that captures the work of God in my life during the year. I consider these writings my own book of psalms. As simple and traditional as these paths to renewal are, they are often difficult to hold on to in the midst of being a wife, caring for my toddler, and meeting the professional demands of counseling, teaching, speaking, and writing. Without fail, however, I renew my spirit every time I quiet my heart in God’s presence through one of these means.

*Gary J. oliver, Ph.D.*

How do I take care of myself spiritually? First of all, I make it a priority. Although I’m not a morning person, I start every morning with time in my Bible, in prayer alone and with my wife, Carrie, and often with Oswald Chambers. Throughout the day, I listen to Christian praise and worship music and oldies. The oldies don’t necessarily strengthen

my walk but I enjoy them. I have friends, starting with Carrie, who pray for me and with me and who ask me about my daily walk. Prayer, fasting, time in the Word, fellowship with my wife and friends who love Jesus, Christian music, books on revival, spiritual formation, and prayer, and periodic mini-retreats are key parts of the spiritual exercise regimen that help me grow and stay close to my Lord. The more I do it, the more I love it. Bottom line, this is what works for me.

*Paris finner-Williams, J.D., Ph.D., LP*

As a clinical psychologist, I conduct weekly training workshops and perform testing and/or provide treatment to approximately 900 chronically mentally ill and learning disabled persons a year. As an attorney, there are numerous exporter adverbial court hearings and an intense attention to details that I must attend. Not becoming spiritually drained is a constant concern during my 80- hour work weeks. There are at least seven basic ways I take care of my psycho spirituality, specifically:

* Each morning I renew my purpose, vision, and ministry that God has placed on my life by having prayerful meditation upon waking, affirmations in the shower, and biblical reading at my desk prior to starting my work day. Periodically, I reflect on how each service has manifested my ministry goals and also brought me satisfaction.

* I refuse to accept any new task, assignment, client, or patient that is contrary to cooperating with my psycho spirituality and personage.

* I remain task oriented, focused, disciplined, self-approving, while shifting from automatic negative thoughts and feelings to those that are

positive.

* I eliminate barriers and strongholds that hinder my best performance by administrations of angels and offering petitions in prayer.

* I consistently remind myself of the difference between what I can control in comparison to what I can merely influence and hold myself and

all persons accountable for the consequences of our own respective behaviors.

* I attend at least two praise and worship services a week, sing, and listen to gospel music throughout each day, and call my Aunt Bernice McAdoo, who serves as my spiritual advisor, daily.

* I insure that my husband and I take at least one 10-day personal vacation each year, have a weekend alone quarterly, a Friday night date twice a month, daily affirm our love for each other, and worship together weekly.

*Larry Crab, Ph.D.*

I take care of myself spiritually in two ways. First, I rise most mornings to spend an hour or so with the Lord. I sing, read Scripture, pray, and celebrate the Lords supper. Second, I speak often with three

or four folks who stir my appetite for God, who provide perspective and energy. Without these two sources of life, I surely would not make it.

*Diane M. Lang berg, Ph.D.*

I certainly am sustained by both corporate worship and avid reading of a variety of theologians. However, the heart of my relationship with God is nurtured in three ways that have become like food and drink to me. One of these involves rising early every morning, while it is still dark and the world is quiet, to study Scripture, to pray, and to listen.This time with God is not about the gathering of knowledge. It is focused on who he is and who I am, before him and in relationship to others. The second personal aspect involves weekly prayer time with a handful of women. I bring my heart and my life to these times (as they do), and we pray for and with each other. Online therapy can be helpful to get rid of such problems.

The third way I nurture my life in Christ was taught to me by Evelyn Christensen. She challenged me to find a team of people who could commit to pray for me on a daily basis. I have done so and cannot imagine a life without the strength and protection that brings.
