Biblical Advice For Those Seeking to Build a Strong MarriageA lot of people today marry for the wrong reasons, and before you know it, they’re divorcing. When they search for a spouse, they mistakenly look for someone who they think is going to make them happy.

Outstanding in the Field: A Reluctant Messenger SpeaksConsidered by many to be an expert in the field of paranormal activity, I must plead the opposing case by asserting my ignorance on a topic which befuddles the mortal mind in general. As the author of a memoir which stymies the thoughts of those who read its message, it is imperative I clarify the point of reference, convincing those who believe otherwise that I am no oracle, merely the messenger. While undergoing the second metamorphosis of my life, I’ve discovered what people seek is some reassurance. Detailing the chronicle of events which occurred in my childhood home does not make me an expert on the subject; far from it. Those who boldly declare they have the answers are the ones who scare me because I know they do not possess anymore privileged knowledge than I do. Beware of those who claim expertise on the topic of immortality. Yes, there is something beyond mortal existence but no one knows precisely what it is and should not disingenuously pretend otherwise. Ultimately, our spirituality is an inside job, one accomplished by embarking on a solitary path to enlightenment. The journey itself is a gift.

Of Rabbinic Hacks and ClericsThe Ministry of Religious Affairs, not able or willing to compete with rabbis who are actually educated and trained as clergy, ministering to the needs of the community and the individual, understood that unless they eradicate the competition they would be out of business. They can’t compete against professionally trained and religiously committed rabbis other than by fiat. They no longer have a raison d’ etre and are virtually illegitimate.

Tough To Be A ChristianOur churches will always tell us about the wonderful blessings God will bestow on those of us who are Christian. However, very little is taught about what God truly expects from us in our daily walk with Christ and even less about what consequences will come if we don’t. Being Christ like is tough but Christ is there to guide us and forgive us when we stumble, but we must be doing our part.
