| Article Title :: Joy Of The Lord |
| |
| The word means different things to different people.
Is it simply an emotion or feeling? Do we only feel
joy when life seems to be going good, when our
circumstances are favorable? Or is there something
more? I'd like to explore what the Word of God says
about this topic.
Psalm 16:11 says "Thou will show me the path of life,
in Thy presence is fullness of joy, at Thy right hand
there are pleasures for evermore."
Psalm 43:4 says "Then will I go to the altar of God,
unto God my exceeding joy...."
Nehemiah 8:10 says ...."the joy of the Lord is my
strength".
What these scriptures say is that God Himself is the
source of our joy. And that joy gives us streng (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Judaism and Reincarnation |
| |
| Judaism and Reincarnation How prevalent is the Jewish belief in reincarnation today? How does it differ from the Asian belief? What do the Rabbis think of it?The root of the word " Torah" is the verb "to instruct". Torah's primary function is to teach us how to live Jewishly, in harmony with G-d's will. As such, the basic levels of scriptural interpretation lead to a practical understanding of mitzvot and related Jewish values. " Many Jews are surprised to learn, or may even wish to deny, that reincarnation...is an integral part of Jewish belief..." The Torah, however, is a multi-layered document. Many of its deeper levels of interpretation are not readil (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Just Ask |
| |
| Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass i (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Just basic stuff |
| |
| Faith Fellowship Church…PO Box 1586…Broken Arrow, OK 74013…Pastor Terry DashnerSome Basic Stuff…This particular scripture fascinates me. The scripture is Colossians 1:27 (NIV) and reads, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” The words, “...Christ in you,” blows my mind. How is it possible for God’s only begotten Son, the Second Person of the Godhead Trinity, to live inside me? Why would He, God of all creation, want to live inside me anyway? He’s taking a big risk hanging out with me. I blunder too easily. I’ve been known to blurt out caustic diatribes at (read full article) |

| Thomas Jefferson was moved to remark: "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" NOT until drought, famine, and supernatural disasters strip our cupboards bare, and EMPTY our grocery shelves, will we know how good we've had it! Only when America goes hungry, will she remember how full she was!President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed April 30, 1863, as a NATIONAL DAY OF FASTING, HUMILIATION AND PRAYER, and spoke these words: "We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Pope John Paul II (1920-2005) – A Study in Courage |
| |
|
Pope John Paul II, the third longest reigning pontiff, served his 26th year as St. Peter’s successor and the head of the Catholic Church. The picture of the 84 year old pontiff, who could hardly stand, celebrating mass with drooping head and trembling hand had projected a familiar image to television viewers around the world. This image provoked many comments such as “Pity the old man, why doesn’t he slow down or even retire? Some cynics remarked: “What is he trying to prove?”
Yes, he did not need to prove anything but his actions continuously reminded us: Do not be afraid!
Do not be afraid of suffering.
The Pope showed the world that suffering forms a part of our lif (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Knowing Them By Their Fruit ... |
| |
| A prophet is to be proclaiming things heard from God. Whenever God speaks, scripture supports it ... though probably not where someone points, "Thus saith the Lord," stealing God's words (running when He didn't send them). Prophets guide people through their wilderness. You will know them by their fruit, as God reserves spiritual gifts for those who have the heart for it. Within the Bible is God's definition for most every word of significance given in scripture. God is His own best commentator. Teachers forgot to teach themselves. If you are really interested in God's intent, ask Him. Search the scriptures. If you seek God, with your whole (read full article) |

| Kundalini Awakening - the sure shot method for awakening of the kundalini.

The awakening of the kundalini is possible by practicing the right Yoga and meditation.

| L. Ron Hubbard, Jr. Blows the Whistle When L. Ron Hubbard actually died there was a different air of open investigation that American media was involved with. The Church of Scientology had not adequately proven they had the goods on other religions and nations using mind control against their flock and so they had not been granted tax free status. Germany and France are still engaged in trying to tell the truth about them. Time Magazine did a lot of good work around this time and they were backed by the likes of the FBI but now anyone in the media who tells any truth about Scientology will have a lot of legal expenses and they are also blackballed by the members of this churc (read full article) |
