The Mayan prophesy speaks of the year of 2012 where human society is going to face challenges that we have never faced before. This prophesy predicts natural disasters as well as man made miseries and not only states that there is no escape, but also that we will experience both good and bad at the same time. How can this be? If a person is happy, will they only experience happiness and a sad person sadness? YES this is how it works and this is how we can go through both at the same...

This is Muhammad School- 8, the Kindness to Animals

The Prophet Muhammad not only preached to the people to show kindness to each other but also to all the living creatures.

When The Prophet Muhammad saw any over-loaded...

It is something I can't describe. It must be experienced to understand the weight of it. At 10:00 am today, April 12th, a siren sounded all across the country to commemorate Israel's day of remembrance for the Holocaust vicitims and survivors. For two minutes the entire country comes to an abrupt halt - people on the sidewalks stop suddenly and stand at attention, the fast paced traffic on Israel's streets and highways slows and roads become parking lots as drivers quickly exit and...

Jesus was a man, albeit a very unique man. Jesus was a Jew and a very knowledgeable one at that. So, how did we come to the place where this historical person got the reputation of starting a new religion that would replace Judaism and more extreme than that was to decide that he was a second person in the trinity: can you say GOD?

Catherine wrote many letters to the Pope, pleading the case of Florence. It was always as if she were writing to an old friend, very personally, very lovingly, or as to a father, calling him "Babbo Mio," (my daddy), never intimidated yet respectful of his position. And he, on his part, answered in kind, to a daughter. He liked Catherine.

Catherine wrote, as someone sent by the Lord, with authority, fully confident she...

The Spirit of God is most often described (in various religions) as that which is always on the move. The animating spirit that God is has been described as the WIND or a STREAM and yet the church has settled for being a man-made lake: a body (of water) that is neither moving nor being FED by and streams. Too often churches are more like the DEAD SEA! There is little if any FRESH WATER.

The bottom line is that the church is a protector of the STATUS QUO. Theirs!

Ever since...

Joshua 1:6-9 reads, "Be strong and courageous, for you will lead my people to possess all the land I swore to give their ancestors. Be strong and very courageous......Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed.

What does God think of rich people? You and I know what many people say about rich people. You've probably heard phrases like "filthy rich," "stinking rich," or "greedy rich people," attributed to those who are wealthy.

For some, it seems that there is an underlying belief that being rich is wrong, and yet, most people wouldn't mind it at all if an extra zero or two, or three, were added to the end of their bank account balance.

Some people...
