Do you Feel Insecure?

If we make holiness our goal, we will attain happiness, if we make happiness our goal, we will search a lifetime and never find it. This is implied Jesus words in the sermon on the mount. He said that the way to blessedness is through the poverty of spirit, purity of heart, and a longing for righteousness.
Some people think happiness can be achieve by getting rid of retrictions. They reason this way: if rules nad regulations are eliminated, the frustration of having to decide between right and wrong is remove, thereby, avoiding separation in human relationships. Some mortal men says: it is kroe important to enjoy life and to be happy than to do righteous things. Being right and suffering is no fun. When this line of thought is applied to absolute standards of morality, man is in deep trouble. He denies the reality of sin in his heart as the source of all his woes. He forgets that all lasting joy is rooted in sepration. Separation from evil unto God.
No one who hungers and thirst after righteousness will be disappointed, even thoguh he may encounter pain, misunderstanding, and loneliness. Holiness is the only path to true and enduring happiness.

A Thousand Reason to Thank the Lord

All of us are some what familiar with that episode in the gospel about the ten lepers who were instantly cured by Jess himself, by sending them to the river Siloe to wash themselves,
By the way, how many among them went back to Jesus to thank him? Only one out ten.
Yes, indeed, we have all the reason to thank the Lord, in many times and many ways. From the rising of the sun in the morning dawn to the setting of the sun in the twilight. For a thousand reason to thank the Lord. The air we breath, the sun that gives ,light and energy both evil and good. The people we meet in our day to day existence. The food we eat; that good thoughts and inspiration that come on to light our confused mine; the good book of inspiration aricles we come to read that gives give life and guide our day to day existence. Even tryong situation that nag aoure days life,... All of these, we have the reason to thank the Lord, without ceasing.
The more we thank to the Lord, The more generous he becomes to us. If we wish to receive more grace and favor from him, thankahim without fail every moment fo the day. Even the daily if his answer to our prayers, we still owe him gratitude. Let us make the most of this truth, there's very little time left to us. Shall we start?

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

This is one of the most beautiful places in the world it is the Hanging graden of Babylon. Fruits and flowers... Waterfalls... Gardens hanging from the palace terraces... Exotic animals... This is the picture of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in most people's minds. It may be surprising to know that they might have never existed except in Greek poets and historians imagination!

It is located in On the east bank of the River Euphrates, about 50 km south of Baghdad, Iraq.

The Babylonian kingdom flourished under the rule of the famous King, Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC). It was not until the reign of Naboplashar (625-605 BC) of the Neo-Babylonian dynasty that the Mesopotamian civilization reached its ultimate glory. His son, Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 BC) is credited for building the legendary Hanging Gardens. It is said that the Gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar to please his wife or concubine who had been "brought up in Media and had a passion for mountain surroundings".
While the most descriptive accounts of the Gardens come from Greek historians such as Berossus and Diodorus Siculus, Babylonian records stay silent on the matter. Tablets from the time of Nebuchadnezzar do not have a single reference to the Hanging Gardens, although descriptions of his palace, the city of Babylon, and the walls are found. Even the historians who give detailed descriptions of the Hanging Gardens never saw them. Modern historians argue that when Alexander's soldiers reached the fertile land of Mesopotamia and saw Babylon, they were impressed. When they later returned to their rugged homeland, they had stories to tell about the amazing gardens and palm trees at Mesopotamia.. About the palace of Nebuchadnezzar.. About the Tower of Babel and the ziggurats. And it was the imagination of poets and ancient historians that blended all these elements together to produce one of the World Wonders.
It wasn't until the twentieth century that some of the mysteries surrounding the Hanging Gardens were revealed. Archaeologists are still struggling to gather enough evidence before reaching the final conclusions about the location of the Gardens, their irrigation system, and their true appearance.

The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus

Is it simply a temple? How could it take its place among other unique structures such as the Pyramid, the Hanging Gardens, and the Colossus of Rhodes? For the people who actually visited it, the answer was simple. It was not just a temple... It was the most beautiful structure on earth... It was built in honor of the Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature. That was the Temple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus.

It is located in the ancient city of Ephesus near the modern town of Selcuk, about 50 km south of Izmir (Smyrna) in Turkey.

Leadership means Service

Sometimes I get the feeling that we are experiencing a leadership crisis among Christians. Although many people are so eager to assume the top position, but too few are so willing to accept and put into practice the biblical pattern of authority. They assumed leadership and think that leadership means absolute dominance, so they completely ignore the basic teachings of Jesus in this regard.
The pattern established by Christ for leadership int he church can be sumed up in one word: servanthood. Jesus himself exemplified this when he washed the feet of the disciple.
This willingness to serve thers and to give examples to them is a very good sign of Christianity in action. because of our willingness to take the role of servant before the eyes of men and God, it wil draw many souls to the service of God through his church as a whole.
You may be a Christian leader in your own church or in any club, and association. Show yourself that you are christian leader in action, not in words. Action speaks much louder than words. Words fly, but deeds remain and will be in the eyes and minds of those who witness you in action. " Be on the go" as leader of any group. Apply the principle of leadership in servanthood.
A leader does not begin to serve until he puts serving into his leadership.

Put all your Trust in God, not in your Riches

It would be praiseworthy and noble to reflect on this pointof the Bible taken from the book of the first letter of St. Paul to Timothy chapter 6: 17-19. "Charge the rich to this world not to be proud, and trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in God; Who provides all things in abundance for our enjoyment. Let them do good and be rich i god works, giving readily, sharing with others. And thus providing for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, in order that they may lay hold on to the true life."
In these verses, St. Paul admonished especially the few elect (who are rich and abundance of the earthly goods) not to trust in there money, but in God; who provides everything in abundance. he exhorts them to do good to others by way of sharing and freely giving to those who have less. Not to be proud and arrogant to others because they have much money and can afford to pay for a life of a person. God is not please with these! It is absolutely sinful and in human!
Let us be reminded of that warning Jesus had given to the rich is recorded in the gospel: "It would be easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter heaven."
For us, who have less in life, let us have a contest in growing rich in doing good works, so that the end of our life Christ jesus will give us the reward He had promise to those who fought a good fight for heaven's sake!

You maybe Forsaken by Men but you'll never be Forsaken by God

The sting of the present economy of this current world that carries heartache and disappointments in day to day existence offer us heavy thoughts on despondency that God has frosaken us.
In truth and in fact, God has not forsaken us nor will he ever forsaken us. Once he said: "If a mother who carries the baby in her womb for nine months willl never to forget her child, so do I will nevr forget you. I had purchased you so dearly and paid for you, with a high price of my most precious blood."
Fellow believers in Christ, if the present happenings aew a burden to our life, let us lift up our eyes towards heaven and sigh fot the heavenly rewards that awit those who bear all things in this world patiently and courageously till the end. Afterall God does not ask us, if we have coped the latest nodel in dresses, hairdoes, in latest attire. When we die, God will only ask one thing and that is: "How much we have love God through our fellowmen." This is the foremost and the most. God will never ask for anything else.
So let us not be preoccupied with other matters, so that we will not have those discouraging thoughts that God has forsaken us. God loves us, so muchthat he wil never abandon us.

Service is the Right of All

No one has the right to hate even a single living creature. The best we can do is to serve only. We should bear in mind that every living creature verily bears the living manifestation of God. We must remember also that the credit of service is not ours, the credit is due to him, He alone who has given us the strength to serve; whose Idealism has inspired us to acquire capacity of rendering the service.
-oOo-
Life is not analogous to a pool of muddy, stagnant water. Life resembles an ever flowing spring, pushing aside the stone of obstrustion and difficulties, while marching on with vigorous speed as its nature. Hence, it is clear that he who wants to keep away from obstacles has lost the purpose of life-verily, he is lost and dead. The graveyard, not society should not be abode.
-oOo-
Marching together of all in unision is termed as society. Instead of despising those who have lagged behind, help them to advance. This alone will be your social DUTY!. Let us deepen our personal reflections on these point!

God wil never fail Us

God never fail us!
Yes, it is true, He never will fail us.
Time and again, we wonder why some of our prayers are left unheard and unanswred. Then we start to conclude thatGod has failed us. He will never fail us. instead, we often fail him.
God knows well what is best for us. it is not up for us to dedicate him what to do and what to give us. But, we are free to tell him all our needs. He said, "Ask and you shall receive . knock and it shall be opened unto you." At other times, in the gospel, Jesus said: "Seek ye first he kingdom of God and all these thing shall be given unto you!" HE said it so again, we seek first his kingdom that is, His will be first sought be followed then in return, He wil give us what we need.
God did not promise to give us al we wanted, but what we need. Therefore if the things we asked him were not granted; we should not lose heart, for the Father knows well what is best for his children. Or, perhaps we dont really need that particular thing.
We must alsi discipline ourselves that prayer is not only for asking. Prayer is primarily for praising, thanking and adoring. Most people pray when they feel there needs. And when they receive the fullness of their needs, they forget to thank God. Remember the Ten lepers! jesus, never failed them, but they failed Jesus.

The Human Heart

The heart is one of the most important organs in the entire human body. It is really nothing more than a pump, composed of muscle which pumps blood throughout the body, beating approximately 72 times per minute of our lives. The heart pumps the blood, which carries all the vital materials which help our bodies function and removes the waste products that we do not need. For example, the brain requires oxygen and glucose, which, if not received continuously, will cause it to loose consciousness. Muscles need oxygen, glucose and amino acids, as well as the proper ratio of sodium, calcium and potassium salts in order to contract normally. The glands need sufficient supplies of raw materials from which to manufacture the specific secretions. If the heart ever ceases to pump blood the body begins to shut down and after a very short period of time will die.
The heart is essentially a muscle(a little larger than the fist). Like any other muscle in the human body, it contracts and expands. Unlike skeletal muscles, however, the heart works on the "All -or-Nothing Law". That is, each time the heart contracts it does so with all its force. In skeletal muscles, the principle of "gradation" is present. The pumping of the heart is called the Cardiac Cycle, which occurs about 72 times per minute. This means that each cycle lasts about eight-tenths of a second. During this cycle the entire heart actually rests for about four-tenths of a second.
Make-up of the Heart.
The walls of the heart are made up of three layers, while the cavity is divided into four parts. There are two upper chambers, called the right and left atria, and two lower chambers, called the right and left ventricles. The Right Atrium, as it is called, receives blood from the upper and lower body through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, respectively, and from the heart muscle itself through the coronary sinus. The right atrium is the larger of the two atria, having very thin walls. The right atrium opens into the right ventricle through the right atrioventicular valve(tricuspid), which only allows the blood to flow from the atria into the ventricle, but not in the reverse direction. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs to be reoxygenated. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs via the four pulmonary veins. It is smaller than the right atrium, but has thicker walls. The valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle, the left atrioventicular valve(bicuspid), is smaller than the tricuspid. It opens into the left ventricle and again is a one way valve. The left ventricle pumps the blood throughout the body. It is the Aorta, the largest artery in the body, which originates from the left ventricle.
The Heart works as a pump moving blood around in our bodies to nourish every cell. Used blood, that is blood that has already been to the cells and has given up its nutrients to them, is drawn from the body by the right half of the heart, and then sent to the lungs to be reoxygenated. Blood that has been reoxygenated by the lungs is drawn into the left side of the heart and then pumped into the blood stream. It is the atria that draw the blood from the lungs and body, and the ventricles that pump it to the lungs and body. The output of each ventricle per beat is about 70 ml, or about 2 tablespoons. In a trained athlete this amount is about double. With the average heart rate of 72 beats per minute the heart will pump about 5 litres per ventricle, or about 10 litres total per minute. This is called the cardiac output. In a trained athlete the total cardiac output is about 20 litres. If we multiply the normal, non-athlete output by the average age of 70 years, we see that the cardiac output of the average human heart over a life time would be about 1 million litres, or about 250,000 gallons(US)!

In astrology the astrological signs represent twelve equal segments or divisions of the zodiac . According to astrological beliefs, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity on the principle as "as above, as below", so that the twelve signs at the same time are held to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression. The scientific community generally considers astrology as a pseudoscience or superstatios.; yet despite this, belief in astrology remains widespread.

Cast you burden to the Lord, he wil sustain you

No one ever said tha tlife would be easy. Living in this falling world, we are all subject to the heartaches and disaapointments that accompany any normal existence. Anxiety, worry and care go along with living; it is what we do with them that really counts. This is where we Christians have much hold and advantage. We have Jesus our Savior who helps us to bear our burdens.
We believers in Christ do not have to stage elaborate rituals to escape our worries for brief time. What we have to do is to offer those worries to the Lord and He will sustain us.
By ourselves, we can do nothing. we greatly need our savior's hand to aid us in this journey towards a blissful eternity. Let us cast our burden to the Lord for surely he shal sustain us. "My yoke is sweet and my burden is light," Jesus once said. Problems cast to him will be borne light and with merits for eternal life.
Jesus my sabior, my refuse and hope, all my cares, my worries nad anxieties will be cast into your feet. In all my problems. I will be the Simeon of Cyrene who had helped you carry the cross while the way to Mt. Calvary. You have taken the heaviest part of them. Lord, remember by myself, i can do nothing, but with you, I can do everything. Lord, into your hands I commend all these things. Amen

Too Much Materialism Draws Us Away From God

This is always a very sad downfall of many persons who came to spiritually guided and yet remain mediocre. It is because of their too much craving for material things, for honors, glories, praises and pleasures of this world; that may just come and go, and disappear from this world without leaving a shadow.

Many persons got o church, appearing devotedly pious, their lips speak of God and proclaim the word of God, and yet there hearts are far, far away from God himself because they are the persons classified as hypocrites and full of pretentions. They speak of justice, goodness, compassion, and forgiveness; but, how are they in their relations with there children, neighboors, there helper at home and to the people who are soburdinate to them? are they fair, just, full of pity and compassion? Perhaps, we start shaking our heads, relaizing the ample gap between the principle spoken of and the practice being done.

Let us not be hypocrites! Let us be our selves! we remain what we are before God. Let us humble ourselves before the mighty throne of God and ask forgiveness fornour enumerable misdeeds.

My Experienced During the Prelim Exam

Just like others I have also an experienced which is like I fear to failed. When I walking atb the stairway going to the classroom where did I am going to take the exam I ask myself twice; " Can I made to past these prelim exam." Said to my self thinking that can made to past the exam? While taking the prelim exam i'll put all my trust on God so that he will help to answer all the difficult question and also I afraid to be failed, because I know that High School life is different from College life because High School life you can say that the exam are so easy but here in College you cannot say anymore that exam is easy I can say that it is so very difficult just like our Math subject. I think all my tears are plowing down on my face.I cant imagin if I failed to past the exam where I am going to run.I dont what I am going to do if I failed on that exam. After our exam, I ask again my self "did I made to past the exam." Maybe yes, maybe no. saying to my self twice. After the exam when I walking to CGEh I fear that I can't pass. But when sir Dante said that I made to Past the Exam. I was so very happy I was so very flattered whenI heard sir dante said that I pass the exam and thats all.
