Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Having A New Relationship With Almighty Father, He Will Never Disown His People

By Luicer Nikenya


You might be thinking how you start to know God better by just building a new relationship with Him. When you welcome Jesus Christ in your entire life, it does not imply joining a denomination; it reveals that you are building a connection with Him.

You have got to ask questions prior to making any decision; is that relationship going to last forever? Will you be committed in doing the work of the Lord God? Are you going to end the trust with God? There are folks who sacrificed their life in serving God. They'd an intimacy relationship with the Lord God. They could communicate with God and have a private conversation with Him. Even they queried God and made Him to change what He planned to do. Abraham and Moses enjoyed such sort of relationship with God.

Remember that God helps only those who are sincere and ready not to fail or forsake Him no matter how many challenges they may be faced with. When we have faith and crave to have Jesus Christ in our lives, we rest secure in His love and are called His children.

We also need to know that a new relationship with God is not something we earn or use energy to hold it; our lives are set before God and if we need to live in Him, He won't disown us but accept us. God knows us better than anybody else around us. We've got to be confident that everything we start when trusting Him, He is going to carry it on to completion untill the second coming of Jesus Christ.

New relationship with Almighty God needs Christ's protection. This isn't by what we do but for the explanation that it is the conduct of Almighty God and His son Jesus on our behalf. We probably know that we will still sin but Jesus covers our sins by calling us into His kingdom through forgiveness.

Let us not decide to do things in our own ways but in God's protected ways so as to maintain His relationship with us. We ought to understand that nothing would change the security of our relationship with Christ but us alone. That is if we follow the devil's ways. We should then stand secure in this new relationship with God because of what God is doing in our lives.

Thru Christ's relationship with us, we are committed to treating everyone with respect. God is faithful sheltering us by making sure we don't lose our balance from Him. Your new relationship with God shouldn't be a show. Always pray before you read the Holy Bible in order to permit the Holy Spirit to guide you in interpreting the scriptures and understanding them fully.

For we all know that God is the source of all power, moving closer to Him and casting our concerns and qualms on Him; this could turn our physical weakness into spiritual strength. God precisely warns of not breaking a new relationship concealed to Him for the demon!

Love Psychic: Love Palmistry

By Tana Hoy


Those that seek their love of their life consult a love psychic for a reading. This has been a trend to many and has been widely embraced by the mass. One of the techniques a psychic use is palmistry. This technique can be helpful in determining how you handle your love life and things related to love.

So how can palmistry give a love psychic reading? It is simple. The psychic reads your palm by the use of the palmistry lines. When you aim to know things regarding love, a psychic reads one of the palmistry lines which is called as the heart line.

The heart line is located just above the head line. It starts under the index or middle finger and extends to the palm's edge on the little finger's side. Representation of the heart line has symbolic meanings that can indicate how you view or handle love.

If the heart line is short, this means that the person has less interest in love affairs and affections. But if the line is deep and strong, this can mean that his or her affection is stable. Another indication of a content and normal love life is the heart line that begins just under the index finger.

When a heart line starts below the middle finger, the person has an egotistic and worldly outlook of love. When the heart line starts between the index and the middle finger, the person has little regard to the true essence of love and its responsibilities and has a tendency to easily give his or her heart away.

The person has a pleasing, romantic character, and great warmness in his or her actions if the heart line is curved and long especially if it is upwards. They have the tendency to give everything for love no matter what is the cost. If the line is extending boldly across the whole palm, the person likes to consider those whose status ascends their own and has high respects for them. If such a heart line is very straight and parallel to the head line, then it indicates strong control of emotions.

The heart line is a good indicator of love when it comes to a love psychic reading. It is here that powerful feelings, romances, and lofty emotions are designated. All of that are related to love is located in the heart line including marriages, divorces, engagements, and so on. If you are seeking for love, consult an expert in palmistry.

Alcoholism And The Importance Of Prayer: Help Me To Accept The Things I Cannot Change

By Karen Jacobs


In our harried and frazzled world many things can interact to cause recovering alcoholics to make decisions we should not. A few of these things we must actively work to switch. Others , however , simply cannot be changed. When these things are making a contribution to behaviour that imperils our health, our relations with others, and even our spirituality, it isn't a weakness to turn to prayer. The words "Lord, help me to accept the things I cannot change" offer comfort and focus.

Everything from an administrator who is indifferent and rude, to inadequate money to pay the bills, to a neighbour who plays their music too loud can turn into a reason to turn to alcohol or other drugs. The reality is that this choice only makes our situation worse. When we drink our Problems intensify.

Alcohol brings out the worst in us. It emboldens us to speak our mind to that boss, to stupidly spend what cash we do have, and to let our outrage control our interaction with our neighbor and everyone else in our lives. Alcohol is not a solution to our Problems. Prayer can be.

When we diligently pray we will be able to learn to accept the things that we can't change. Prayer allows us to change our mind-set. Our outrage subsides, our logic takes over, and we will be able to better think out our options. We will be able to resolve ourselves to disregard comments that would have been better left unsaid. An uninterrupted flow of paychecks will be our reward. Revenue assured, we will next apply ourselves to better budgeting our money and dealing peacefully with that self centered neighbor.

Turning to prayer to gain focus is a positive approach to coping with Problems. It directs our attention in the right direction and permits us to logically deduce an answer to our issues. Alcohol has just the opposite effect.

Various Ways To Come Out Of Fear Of Death

By Winston Dunbar


Thinking of death and planning for the same seems very strange and paradoxical in a sense because it is supposed to be the end of life as we know it. However, throughout life we are already to deal with death as more of a difficult transition and phase rather than the end of a continuum of life. Although we may die, our relationships would not, and we would continue to be remembered as father, friend, brother, daughter, sister or any other relation we may have lived as for others through our lives.

Our bonding especially emotional liveliness of the physical self does not go away even if we die. This could be applicable for our thoughts, perceptions and even the small contributions we have made to the overall society. Our death does not wash these away at all. This invariably tells the story that our physical death does not end life; it is a milestone in the entire journey. The beginning and end of this journey is too far behind and ahead of us to see them by ourselves.

It may be understood that to know this could be very hard for people. This can be said as one of the difficult act for someone to understand it totally. That's why many act either as they know what death means and act of fear of it. However, they may have to dig deep to understand from their inner self to know it completely. This can be understood by a deep sense of asking by inner heart on who you really are, why are you really here and what would you be, if not as what you are today?

There are number of things which could have made you to think about death and made to think of fear of death. It's also critical not just to understand the real meaning of death, but to take steps towards addressing the unanimous question of life and death. Though we have to understand death and we have to deal with fear of death are two dimensions of our same search of answer and most of the time we are faced with fear of death rather than given what to understand about it. This may be more than what we ideally want ourselves to be in.

However, mostly it is in more or less in a sense which lends you with a positive sense of balance in life and lets you weigh your options before making a decision in a more intelligent manner. You might subconsciously calculate the danger of injury or death while doing something as simple and mundane as crossing the road on your way to work. However, if you care to observe its effect on your practical judgment you would find that it only makes you adopt a more intelligent and patient approach to the whole 'crossing the road' thing.

This can actually serve a positive approach to your life and helps you look at life from a positive point of you. You might have crossed the road a number of times without even bothering to look at both sides, however suddenly if you are caught with fear of death, you may take a cautious approach towards it. While getting life insurance, you might have considered death as one of the ingredients in getting it. People do not realize what death can cause to the financial status and interests of your dependents. There are very few people who take up life insurance as they are afraid about death in general.

There is still another side to it if you care to explore, when one is planning for life insurance, one is not actually planning so much for death or looking forward to it as he or she is planning to ensure the security of the dependents after death. It is this brighter side of things which urges one to look for the survival of his dependents even in his death which comes to define the meaning of life on a very practical plane for an average person.

Though it may sound that it is entirely subjective to overcome death as we just discussed about perception of death, this affects everyone in one way or another; however, this may not be an occupying thought forever. This may come up at times and go down at times too. If people are religious it may be helpful to them to take up death as one part of the journey. It may be true; however, it is common for all one gets past it to deal with their fears about it beyond death. All have to take steps towards dealing with our fears and anxieties to deal with death and takes steps for a happy life and a sense of fulfillment.

A Biblical Events Chart And Teaching Bible Truths

By Neil J Baulch


Not long back I had a retired Pastor reprove me very sharply, for making some interesting points while preaching on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. He was very old school, and he referred to 1 Tim 1.4 "nor to be taken up with with myths and never ending genealogies.. "

I quietly and respectfully asked him if I had said anything that was heretical or inappropriate to which he answered. "No". I explained that this Scripture was never meant to exclude genuine enquiry into the Bible, but rather it was targeting the false philosophy of Gnosticism. But he would not have it.

Gnosticism had been so influential in the new Testament times, and the new Testament writings, how could a pastor of 40 years experience not know this. It is important for pastors to know these things, and to teach their congregation in order that they might understand and interpret their Bible well.

If the many pastors persist in preaching, lightweight and shallow messages to the congregation, the results will always be a people, who do understand their Bible very well. Pastors preach again and again 'moral essays' and 'warming affirmations', for this is what good Christians do, if they truly 'love' each other.

It seems that the most important thing is, that we are very positive and 'nice' to everybody. It's just too bad, if God's people are falling through the cracks 'for a lack of knowledge' (oracle).

Think about it, the more 'relevant' Christians become, to the world, the less relevant christians are in reality, to the world. :-(

Why do Pastors get stuck in a rut of favorite topics and 'feel good' messages? Preachers preach on a verse from 1 John further a part about a victorious one from Luke; topical address from Matthew following on with the true faith of Mary Magdalene or the righteousness of Abraham.

After preaching portions from here and from there, through the Bible we need then to put it all together in a clear, understandable way for our congregation.

These days a flood of new ideas and publications come under various names that have a liberal bent. If we were to be taught the basics of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to repeat it.

Let's equip the Church in understanding God, His Great Plan and the Bible by sewing each piece together into a seamless beautiful tapestry.

This is not some gruelling, unachievable task, all it needs is study with prayer.

John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. (NIV)
