WHAT THE HINDU SCRIPTURES REVEAL ABOUT CHRIST?

Many people in India say that Jesus Christ was a great saint who founded the Christian Religion. The Bible tells us that all mankind have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom.3:23) and that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent by God to this world, to become the propitiation for our sins. Who is this Jesus? Apart from the Bible, let us know about Him from the ancient Hindu Scriptures. An Indian saint who had a thorough knowledge of the ancient Hindu Scriptures presented Jesus from… Continue

Surprise, Shock and Awe

From My Perspective - - -

In the 1960s, a popular situation comedy caught the attention of Americans; it was Gomer Pyle, USMC. The description of the program is: “Gomer Pyle was the simple-minded gas station attendant and later auto mechanic in the American TV sitcom The Andy Griffith Show, played by Jim Nabors. He continued the character in Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. from 1964-69. Gomer Pyle was a good-natured, naive country-boy, characterized by his childlike innocence and his… Continue

THINK BLAST 6:00 - Visit www.RandallNiles.com for more!

In Hamlet, William Shakespeare declares:

"There is nothing either good nor bad but thinking makes it so."

This also seems to be the mantra of the day:

There is no universal right and there is no universal wrong –

Morality is relative to the person and place in which it is applied.

You might have heard someone say, “there’s no right and there’s no wrong,” but you have to ask yourself, is their statement right or wrong? And I’m sure you’ve heard… Continue

Light in your circumstances

Due to a buzy schedule i havent had the change to chat to all of you as much as I would like, but I decided that I needed to share what I saw.

Sunday, two weeks ago, I had a vision while i was lying down a bit after a long week, but I couldnt sleep and did the most obvious thing, I pray.

Then i received a vision of a window and through it I saw very dark clouds, although it seemed like a huge storm, I didnt feel afraid. And then suddenly I saw the sun breaking through the clouds, the… Continue

The Subtlety of Nuance

From My Perspective - - - -

In Jeremiah 17:9, the Prophet wrote: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know (understand) it?” This reality can be seen in many facets of life as people and organizations try to be “politically correct” to serve their own best interests and to achieve a desired goal. In some instances, this appears to be more subtle than others.

In the area of politics (a new strategy begun during 2004), an interesting… Continue

Things are even better!

Well, God has blessed me with very supportive and flexible bosses. I can work full-time over six days and then I will be home after school with my daughter! We can do homework and I can keep getting health insurance! I realize I don't give God credit for all my blessings. I just chalk them up to coincidence or whatever. So praise God once again and its good for me to blog because I forget how many solutions to situations I have gotten and just look from problem to problem. It's good to look… Continue

If I Have No Love...

Dear brothers and sisters!

I cannot but share with you one of my most favourite scriptures of the Holy Bible (it's also been my revalation 1 day)... It's about Love... real, true, strong, everlasting... it's about the love i am so happy to have... thanks to Jesus... my God, my Lord, my Saviour... Amen...

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom… Continue

Discipline & Love

Proverbs 3:11-12

My son, do not despise the LORD’S discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. NIV

Discipline is a mark of love. Many have gone astray in our contemporary culture and misunderstood that. Unfortunately there has been a philosophy of bringing up children which omits discipline. You are to allow the child to do whatever he wishes, to indulge himself in every… Continue

Something Old - Something New

From My Perspective - - -

It’s an old tradition that is quoted by many when a Bride is about to be married: “Something Old, Something New; Something Borrowed, Something Blue, And a silver sixpence in her shoe.” The idea is that this combination as part of the Bride’s attire will assure happiness, success, and good luck in her marriage.

The History of this tradition states: “Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on… Continue

Just had to share- why to pray

As I was reading my bible I came across Philippians 4:6-7 is reads as follows :

6) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with

thanksgiving, let your request's be made known to God.

7) and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will gaurd

your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I was angry at something my husband didn't do today. And I just was going crazy over

it. Usually, I tend to let my attitude show, but instead… Continue

Facade

From My Perspective - - -

People love to coin phrases that don’t always hold up under scrutiny. It is common-place to hear the expression: “Perception Is Reality”! Wikipedia indicates: “In psychology and the cognitive sciences, perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensory information.” Objects and Ideas can mean different things to different people. A test that is often employed is the use of objects or ink blots (The Rorschach Test). The person… Continue

Gift...

I want to share with u a very nice story...

wanted.

As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband

had purchased the diamond ring.

Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study.

Prognosticators

From My Perspective - - -

It becomes a wearying process to listen to “News Programs” and to have Prognosticators and Pundits express what the Newsmaker meant to say and means to say. It becomes somewhat disingenuous, especially when there are those in Punditry who are (a) predictable in terms of what they will utter again and again, and (b) who keep speaking until they can think of something to say. Whatever happened to the Biblical instruction in Ecclesiastes 5:2-3, “Do not be… Continue

Praise The Lord.

Psalm 115:117-118

The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence; but as for us, we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord!

The Bible exhorts every area of creation and every kind of creature to praise the Lord. The Bible exhorts the heavens, the earth, the sea, the forests, the rocks—there is nothing that should not praise the Lord.

It speaks about all kinds of creatures: flying creatures, creatures in the sea, crawling… Continue

Prayer Request

Probably a common one, but I'm in a place where life is a tornado of busyness at home and at work. There seems to be no time for God at all and I know that this is when I need to be clinging to him most. I'd appreciate prayer that God would just create in me a strong desire to know him more to be wrapped in his arms of peace amidst the chaos of life. That he'd enable me to make time for him.
