A couple of years ago, I ran across this saying, “Bloom where you’re planted.” Immediately, the wheels in my mind began to turn. I don’t know that this phrase was spiritual in its beginnings, but I automatically began to think about how the Bible instructs us to be “fruitful”. I began to ...

Attention Deficit Disorder, otherwise known as ADD, has evolved over the years. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) identifies three main characteristics of the disorder: inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. While ADD stresses the inattention behavior, ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) includes all three of the categories. The DSM-IV lists the following symptoms of the illness:nnInattention:n1. Often makes care

The Blessing of Abraham belongs to us as FatherGod’s Children and what a wonderful blessing it is. Some may say that this is just my opinion and is too good to be true, so that is why I have included a variety of scriptures in order to let FatherGod and our Lord Christ (Messiah) speak for themselves.

[1Corinthians 13:13] And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Please see the following website for scriptures pertaining to Love, Faith and Hope. http://www.lovefaithhopefellowship.com/d_Love_Faith_Hope.html HOPE Where do we as FatherGod’s Children get our Hope for a better future? Let’s make a wild guess and say from our FatherGod’s Holy Word – yes! Congratulations we are Correct!

It is always appropriate to remember the numerous things Our Lord Christ/Messiah accomplished for us during His Death, Burial and Resurrection. Therefore, we Christian Believers are: Children of FatherGod (1John 3:1-2). Ambassadors for Christ/Messiah (2Corinthians 5:20 ; 6:1). Like Christ/Messiah (1John 4:17 ; 1Corinthians 2:16). Seated at the Right Hand of FatherGod in Christ/Messiah (Ephesians 2:6). Righteous (2Corinthians 5:21). Redeemed (Colossians 1:14). Justified (Romans 5:1,9 ; 8:30). Sanctified (1Corinthians 1:30). Reconciled (Romans 5:10).

“The Twelve”: That is the designation commonly given to the first followers of the historic Jesus. The original 12 followers, or Disciples, are listed by name in the New Testament account written by the Evangelist Matthew. Following the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, they would be known as Apostles, Greek for witnesses. Among the apostles were fishermen, a farmer, a tax collector, and a revolutionary–all somewhat ordinary men. One of these disciples, Judas

WHERE IS FATHERGOD? The following scriptures assure us that our Loving Heavenly FatherGod is always present with us HIS Children. Therefore, we are always in HIS presence and have access to HIS help at all times. rn[Ephesians 4:6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Note: [Ephesians 1:1-2] 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. A desire to be a good citizen of the Kingdom of FatherGod should be one of the main Spiritual focuses of our Christian life. HIS Kingdom is the framework that we should keep in mind as we consciously strive to apply spiritual laws or principles from HIS Word in our daily, moment by moment life. These spiritual laws or principles include: (1) Law of Faith, (2) Law of Confession is Possession, (3) Law of Sowing and Reaping, (4) Law of Living in Love, etc.

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 1rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38].

Our Loving Heavenly FatherGod’s Power is within us HIS Children and is thus always available for us to use at all times to bless our families and all of mankind. Please read the following scriptures to confirm this for yourself. Matthew 28: 18-20] 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

The intention of this article is to shed some light on a famous passage of scripture. But before I do so, let me first ask two challenging questions: 1. If we were called to see the Queen of England, what would be our attire? Most definitely, If I received an invitation to see someone of such royalty I would make certain to dress for the occasion. 2. What about if we were going to see the President in the white house? In an attempt to put our 'best foot forward', we would have taken out the best suit out of our closets, or maybe even purchase a new one.

One question that Christians often ask is, "How can I be a Christian and earn money from a business? Is it in God's will for me to be an entrepreneur?" While no one can answer the question about whether or not it is right for you to become a business-woman or business-man, you can find many instances in the scriptures where the Lord God blessed the entreprenerial endeavors of His faithful servants. I will share one such incident with you, in which a woman looked for God's pr

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. 1. Citizen Privileges and Benefits in the Kingdom of FatherGod. Each Kingdom citizen has full access to every good thing in the Kingdom. WE HAVE AN INHERITANCE! Backed by a loving, wise and kind FatherGod who extends HIS goodness to HIS people both now and in time past. It is important to realize that everything now belongs to us as FatherGod’s Children; Join Heirs with Christ/Messiah; and Members of the Living Spiritual body of Christ/Messiah.

How do you accomplish God's purpose for your life? Do you ask God to reveal His purpose to you? Do you fast for 21 days before you get to know God's purpose for your life? How do you do it? Let's look at the following points: Identify yourself with the Purpose-giver

Let Go and Let God Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Now that we’re into this new year, if we’re not careful we can become stagnant or paralyzed by the things that happened to us in 2009. But, Paul reminds us that we must not settle with the disappointments, road blocks, and set backs of the past.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. As discussed in Part 4, in order to put on the new man we must first, understand the three-fold nature of FatherGod’s Children, which are: Holy Spirit, Soul and Body, in light of FatherGod’s desired standard for each.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. As a reminder from part 3, our daily responsibilities provide excellent opportunities to practice and perfect our participation as a Citizen and Ambassador of the Kingdom of FatherGod. Also, in order to partake of all the Kingdom of FatherGod has to offer we must first partake of HIS divine nature which is to imitate HIM and Our Lord Christ/Messiah and strive to become more and more like Our Lord, Savior and Brother Christ/Messiah in our daily life.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. The purposes of the Kingdom of FatherGod are two fold: (1) to help spread and establish Heaven on Earth (especially in the life of every believer), and (2) to provide for all of the daily requirements of each citizen (HIS Children) of HIS Kingdom (i.e., daily provisions). Please read below for more information on each purpose. Heaven on Earth. rn[Matthew 6] 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

The artist’s expression of his inner self is hidden in the art and the beauty of his painting. Look deep enough into any type of art, and you will find the mystery of an invisible dream that started of in a single seed in the heart and the very essence of the architect. If we gaze upon various arts, we might not understand the zeal and power of the hidden seed, which responded to the prophetic voice of his creator. The artist’s expression of his inner self is hidden in the

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 4rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38]. Continued from Living By Faith, Part 3. [Deuteronomy 28:7] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. [Proverbs 23:7] For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: [Proverbs 4:20-24] 20My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

Are you ready for this Christian soldier? Buckle up the belt of Truth. We're gonna get into some good tactics here. Regardless if we like it or not, we're in the midst of spiritual warfare. The main battlefront of this war is our mind and the winner wins the soul. It's time to get tactical and understand the tactics of the enemy in this spiritual war. I pray this lesson from God will help us all fight the good fight. First and foremost, let us get our armor on. Armor We wil

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 3rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38]. Continued from Living By Faith, Part 2 Appendix A - List of Scriptures Referenced In Living By Faith Parts 1 and 2. [Hebrews 11:1-3] 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

How to Overcome Mental Obstacles, Destructive Criticisms, and Negative Judgments "The only infallible criterion of wisdom to vulgar judgments--success." -Edmund Burke, Letter to a Member of the National Assembly, 1791. No one needs to tell you that it is difficult to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. No one needs to tell you that it is an almost impossible task to overcome the odds that are stacked against you. No one needs to tell you that it is a daunting task to overcome a brick wall that is determined to hinder and block your path.

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 2rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38]. Continued from Living By Faith, Part 1. Our faith helps us to walk or live by faith and not by sight (i.e., the five senses and emotions). A good example is of this principle is contained in [Numbers chapters 13 and 14], where Moses, at FatherGod’s command, sent 12 individuals to spy out the land of Canaan.

THE ROAD TO MATURITY Spiritual growth is a process that takes a physical lifetime to complete and at times can be a painful experience on many levels. However, as long as we have breath, an openness and willingness to learn and grow, we can and will experience spiritual transformation and progressive development that will enable us to live fulfilling lives.

For the past centuries there’s been a controversial myth about the kingdom of God that is to come. The miss interpretations of the end time prophecies have lead many astray. Factual evidence is about to be unravelled through biblical truths. The Revolving Truth Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) b

The end of the world! The end of this age / the last hour. Millions of Christians are confused, because they do not read the clear description of Jesus about the end of the World in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Many people believe that we live in the last days and the world is speeding to its end. The misinterpretation of Daniel’s prophecies gave birth to hundreds of end of the world books and movies, most of these movies give us the perception that our physical (

So much of the Springtime is about rebirth, getting back outdoors, enjoying the promise of emerging life all around us. It seems that with the longer days, the brighter sunshine, the colorful blooms of flowers and the blossoming trees all lend themselves to the backdrop for increasing family time spent outdoors. Spring is accompanied by the refreshed and renewed time of the vernal equinox–when night and day are just about equal. The sun begins its passage across the celesti

The Sea of Galilee is located in north-east area of Israel, in the Jordan Rift Valley, and fed by the Jordan River. It is also known as the Lake of Gennesaret, Sea of Chinneroth, Lake Kineret and Sea of Tiberias. Technically, it is a lake rather than a sea. However, at seven miles wide and thirteen miles long, it is no wonder that many people gave it the name of sea, rather than lake. The Sea of Galilee would have been a very popular place around the time that Jesus lived. It

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his ete al power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. - Romans 1:20 Earlier this month my wife and I vacationed in the city of Vancouver, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It was the first time in almost 20 years of marriage that we travelled together on an airplane, the first time that I had seen the Rocky Mountains, and it was also the longest holiday we had shared in years.

In 1895, the United States Supreme Court noted that: The principle that there is a presumption of innocence in favor of the accused is the undoubted law, axiomatic and elementary, and its enforcement lies at the foundation of the administration of our criminal law. The Coffin Court, after stating this principle, pointed out that the concept is so well-established that “[i]t is stated as unquestioned in the text-books” and went on to explain that the presumption of innocence

How to Overcome Obstacles to Goal Setting by Jodi-A Walker When people begin setting goals, they start out feeling motivated and inspired to do great things. They are pumped and ready to go. Then after encountering obstacles, in addition to getting caught up with daily activities and responsibilities, they begin to lose interest. they lose interest.They lose interest to the extent that they completely lose all interest in pursuing their goals and ambitions.

There is a lengthy article by Dave Hunt and another gentleman which squarely addresses the modern day "higher power," "disease," "spirituality," and Twelve Step secularism and admiration by many a Christian organization such as Celebrate Recovery and certainly by many in the recovery community and 12 Step Fellowships. It is important, however, to remember that there is little evidence of a monolithic CR or a monolithic AA--regardless of any rules or restrictions. And to claim

How to Change Your Mindset to Accept and Plan for Success by Jodi-A Walker Success is attainable and achievable for anyone who has the mindset to receive it. Many people have not attained success because they have not prepared for, that is because if you fail to plan you plan to fail, or they subconsciously believe that they are undeserving of success. These are the people who I want to address first.

With the tongue we bless God and curse men. "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to so be." (Jas. 3: 9 - 10) What does that mean, really? It's understandable that we should not curse our fellow men.

You’re not where you want to be but you’re not where you used to be, now that’s what you call PROGRESS. Shepherding or leading people is not a simple task as some suppose. Only those who are sent by God to fulfill the office of a pastor understand its heavy mandate.

The other day I wrote an article on the arithmetic equation for having our prayers answered. A + B + F = C or affirmation plus believing plus forgiveness equals conclusion or answered prayer. Today I would like to concentrate on B or believing. What is meant by believing? The most common term used for this is faith. How much faith do you have that the prayer you prayed will be answered? In the Bible Mark 11:23- 26 says that if we truly belief in what we have affirmed such as

Here are 14 Things To Do Today That Will Begin To Change Your Habitude Right Now 1. Write out your core values, do it right now.

What do you want others to say about you?

One of the most famous stories ever written was that of the birth and death of Jesus Christ. The stories, miracle healing and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth are the main doctrine of the Christian beliefs. But who was Jesus? The average person knows very little about the history of the man at the center of Christianity. In fact it has been a subject of much debate over the centuries. Oddly there are no observer detailed accounts written or told about Jesus during his lifetime.

To summarize the life of Jesus Christ in an article is an impossible task. Entire books have been written on specific aspects of Jesus life or death and I for one would not presume to have it all in this one article. What I am going to do is give a bird's eye view of the life of Jesus Christ, without going into the deeper meanings (and different interpretations) of his life on earth. The earliest records of the life of Jesus are those written by his followers in the Gospels:

“If you don’t really know where you want to go, it makes no difference which road you take.” How many of us are walking down roads that are leading nowhere? How many of us have a feeling that our lives could be happier and more prosperous but our current circumstances are holding us back and making it impossible for us to succeed? I think many of us are so busy moving through our lives, that we don’t stop long enough to ask whether there is a purpose behind all of this acti

We have been given a great gift from God in his grace. As believers or Christ followers we have been given the gift of eternal salvation through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Those who have accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior have also gone through a transformation in their life because there is no way you can ask Jesus into your heart without it changing you as a person. As Christians we tend to keep our faith to ourselves and try not to stra

My wife and I traveled to the United States two years ago for the wedding of two great friends, Neil and Andrea. After the wedding we stayed for a few days in Frankenmuth, Michigan. As we strolled through town and browsed the many shops and countless candy stores, we found ourselves in a small health food store. While many would consider me to be a bit of a fitness freak, I am usually quite reluctant to embrace special health foods, supplements and any kind of diet craze.

Brief History Of NLP Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) began as the work of John Grinder and Richard Bandler during research done at the University of Califo ia, Santa Cruz, during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Working under the direction of social scientist, anthropologists, and linguists.

The Book of Revelations For the past decades many people were lead astray by false doctrines and religions. Fear and superstition overwhelmed and blindfolded many believers and kept them away from the true power and knowledge of Jesus Christ. I believe the reason for all this madness is, throughout the ages the focus of the gospel and the end time prophesies have always been on the darker side of things. The main focus has always been on the great evil that opposes our belief

I've always been a music buff, especially the "classic rock" genre. Growing up in Toronto in the 1970's, my transistor radio was always tuned in to local AM radio stations 680 CFTR and 1050 CHUM for all the latest rock and roll hits. Disc jockeys back then seemed to have much more personality than they do today, each with their own special "hook" that made them memorable.

Consulting God is the first step of Christian stress management. Prayerfully seek His advice for He urges you to call on Him and He will show you great things which you did not know (Jeremiah 33:3) and these insights will help you disce the right course of action. The second step of Christian stress management is opening your heart and life to Christ. He is knocking on your heart’s door (Revelatio 3:20) so invite Him in so that He can help you manage your present stressful si

I never used to like the word "content". To me contentment was another word for laziness or resignation, an easy way out for those who were tired or afraid of striving for something more. Contentment was the enemy of progress; it was something to be avoided at all costs. Today I see contentment differently. My left ear is deaf to the sound of human voices, so I can only hear conversations with my right ear. Hearing becomes difficult and distorted in rooms with a lot of background noise. Would I want to have full hearing in both ears? Of course I would.

In a world full of selfishness, violence and self-motivated agendas it can sometimes feel as if the love that humanity once had has become almost non-existent. The main thing we have to remember is that while the world is fallen and full of sin we still have our Heavenly Father watching over us, who is full of love for us. In fact it tells us in the Word of God that God does not only show love but He is love. The Bible has many instances in which the love that God has for us

rnAs I walked through the hospital room door, I can barely put into words the emotion I felt. The first thing I saw was my perfectly formed, lifeless, little boy. He had been placed on a stainless steel trolley right near the door. I remember this so clearly because it made me furious. It felt so wrong for him to be there like that. Time stood still for a moment, as I stared at him. He was perfect, he was real, he just wasn't alive.My emotions raced, from rage, to despair, to

As the darkness created by social upheaval and worldwide changes grip the world, there are a few lights across the globe that offer hope, stability and a view into the marvelous grace of the living God.

In recounting the roots of Christianity--the belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God--many titles have been given him; among them is Jesus of Nazareth. Nazareth was the city from which Jesus traveled to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. Situated in Lower Galilee, it occupies a natural amphitheater-like setting on the southern slope of Mount Jebel es-Sikh. The ancient section of town features stone homes layered in hanging tiers. The terraces are carved from

Through years of grocery shopping experience, I have determined that the world can be divided into two kinds of people: those who return grocery carts to their proper storage areas, and those who do not. I swell with pride each time I return my cart - and perhaps the odd straggler as well - to its proper place before leaving the parking lot.

The subtitle of Malachi Martin's best-selling “Keys of This Blood,” indicates that the super-powers are involved in a three-way struggle for world supremacy. The book may have overlooked our 500 point stock market crash a month after John Paul's visit in 1987. With the take-down of the Berlin Wall and Communism, orchestrated by President Reagan and John Paul, it looked like the west was supreme until Pope Benedict visited the US in 2008 and the economy crashed months later.

All across the nation, and even the world, there are encouraging expressions of an A.A. and a recovery approach that was all but lost for perhaps 50 years. New evidence such as rosters kept by early AAs, the contents of Anne Smith's journal, the last major talks of Dr. Bob and Bill, the revelations in the biographies of Dr. Silkworth, Lois Wilson, and Bill Wilson himself, and the mountain of materials now being placed in the Griffith Library at the Wilson House in East Dorset

My friend Mano Watsa is more than a basketball player. He was a four-time OUA Conference All-Star, two-time All-Canadian point guard and captain for the University of Waterloo. In 1999 he toured with the USA Athletes In Action team, was awarded the National TSN Award for combining excellence in athletics, academics and community involvement, and was named University of Waterloo Male Athlete of the Year. Mano is not a big man. He only stands 5’10”, yet he has a vertical of 42 inches. Was he born with a tremendous ability to jump? Hardly.

The spirit of fear within the inner man is uncompromising. If allowed to take over the reins, it will gallop along and increase speed in order to produce the substance of what is feared without regard for the consequences. Our display of frustration, irritation, depression or anger does not emanate from the brain, but from the heart of the spirit, which is the seat of man’s consciousness, individuality, mind, intellect, emotion and, of course, the location of the memory archives.

What do you do when all of a sudden your heart is pierced through with pain? The one you thought you would grow old with is suddenly lying lifeless in your bed. Or the hopes of a child fulfilling their divine call - your legacy - but instead their life is snuffed out like a candle wick. What do you do when the pain is so much to bear and your body shakes uncontrollably with the anguish of your soul. Where do you go? Who do you turn too? So many unanswered questions. Why God Why? Why did you take my friend?

Last year I was involved in a multi-car crash on one of the busiest highways in the world. Thankfully I was alone in my car and there were no serious injuries among all the drivers and passengers involved. Still, it took me a while to recover from the combined effects of whiplash and a concussion. The whiplash was easily remedied with some doctor-prescribed exercises, but the effects of the concussion were much more disturbing and harder to shake. For roughly three weeks I was disoriented and had tremendous trouble focusing on what were once routine activities.

I live in one of the most culturally diverse communities in the world. More than half of the people living in my city were born in a different country.

I have the absolute privilege of being a speaker and it is truly a privilege. It is also very rewarding to be able to help people. I want to share one of my topics with you.

I am not an avid golfer, but recently I joined some of my brothers-in-law and a few of their friends in playing 6 rounds of golf over the span of 72 hours. While I scored a birdie and a few pars over that marathon of 108 holes, my total scores were less than stellar.

I'm sure most of us are aware that the stats for marriages ending in divorce are at least one out of two in America! These stats are the same whether you go to church or not! What? How can the divorce rate be the same for Christians?! Then... I heard Dr. Phil confirm what I used to wonder about. If your beliefs don't dictate the way you live - except to go to church on Sunday - then you really are no different than a non-believer, and neither is your marriage. Did you know that Dr.

When you are creating a new church from scratch, it’s important to have a plan and to be consistent. A church is not about having a building; it’s about having people with whom to come and share your beliefs, preferably in a regular setting.

The intent is to get you thinking about Bible Study as a means to not only start a New Church but also ho

My friend and I sat by the window at a local restaurant. Between bites, we caught up after months of not seeing each other. Then, with no warning, the fire alarm went off. We stopped for a second, then went right back to our chatting. We smelled something burning, made a comment, then right back to our talking. Firemen showed up. No one asked us to leave, so we resumed our chatting.r

While it may not always be easy to place your trust in the hands of God, especially when it becomes a test of patience as well, there's no doubt that waiting on God for the right spouse is an important part of your spiritual journey towards living a godly life. Pray to Him about your feelings, and He'll guide you down the right path. Once you've found the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with, what can you do to pave that road to "as long as you both shall liv
