The Hindu religion is like an ocean. It is very difficult to fathom its depth as it encompasses all aspects of human life from metaphysics of worshiping God to man's quest towards self realization through sex. In fact one of the paths of realizing God in Hindu religion is the path through sex. This is the art of Tantra which is recognized as a distinct part of Hindu  religious thought. Thus in Hindu philosophy sex itself has a special niche. Hindu writers and Yogis' have accepted...

"Love never ends" (1 Corinthians 13:8), or as the King James Bible reads, "Charity never faileth." Fails is the better translation of the Greek. To say that love never ends makes it into a statement about time and duration, whereas to say that love never fails makes it into a statement about effectiveness and perseverance. Over against love, Paul has put prophecies and knowledge, both of which will fail, and tongues, which will cease.

The reference to tongues...

There is a certain room in the Latter-day Saint meeting house called a cultural hall. A cultural hall could be the church gym, usually used to play basketball or other indoor sports. Most LDS churches in North America are equipped with this type of room. A cultural hall could also be a larger room for meetings and other gatherings. These rooms are also known as multi-purpose rooms.

Many LDS weddings are performed in holy temples. The receptions for these weddings usually take...

The Martyrs of Mexico

As we have seen, down through the centuries, the Church will always rise from the ashes of Martyrs. And that is what this book is about.

The Revolution, purportedly for the freedom of the working class, was anything but that. It was just a changing of the guard: the few still had too much, and the many still had too little. The faces of the few had changed, but not that of the many. Only now, all were...

It's in almost every religious culture and it's even more highlighted in the Oriental religious philosophies. I am talking about the principle of Karma. It's the same karma that the Bible speaks of in Galatians 6:7- Whatever a man sows, so shall he (and the ladies too of course) reap! But, wait! There is a way to work around karma if I'm seeing it rightly.

Here's the way that Richard Smoley (and I agree) sees it, "In esoteric Christianity, there is only one way of escaping...

If when you think of a group of people, one particular individual keeps coming to your mind, your "antennas" should go up. Especially if this is a religious group.

Cults are generally kept "alive" by the charisma and enthusiasm of one individual. There is a mental pedestal from where this person seeks to control everybody. The interesting thing is that human beings subconsciously want to be controlled. Why?

Human beings are generally lazy. We want someone...

My husband and I received a calendar for 2008 as a special birthday gift for both of us from our daughter who was a junior at Messiah College in Pennsylvania at the time. Although my husband and I were born in two different months, Silalei decided to give us a common present.

She created the calendar herself through lulu.com. She has chosen some very touching quotes to go on the different months, but my favorite one is the quote that she put under the picture of her father...

In the Bible, the Lord God suggests an interesting recipe for making bread and to eat it while lying on one side for 390 days.

The Lord God has commanded Ezekiel to bake the bread using human stool for fuel, then God changed it and said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement.

Herein, we have two types of organic fuel for making bread.

Then the Lord God said: "I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one...
