“Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.” Saint Augustine.

Experiencing the Trinity

What is the Trinity? Is it Biblical? Even though the bible does not talk about the Trinity directly, we still have Vestiges of the Trinity. It is talked about indirectly, for example, in the great commission to the Church, Christ bids them to teach and baptism every one in "the name of the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." In all my christian life, I never seriously thought about the Trinity but after Prof. Ante Jeroncic's lecture last semester, I was blown away. I realized how much I've been missing out on. " The doctrine of the Trinity is the central dogma of Christian theology, the fundamental grammar of our knowledge of God." " God draws near to us in such a way as to draw us near to Himself within the circle of His knowing Himself."

My Prayer, Our Prayer.

Dear Lord,Please make us less of who we want to be, and MORE of who you want us to be, Amen.

God's Reward For Fidelity

"Stand forth in your God-given manhood and womanhood. Show a purity of tastes, appetite, and habits that bears comparison with Daniel's. God will reward you with calm nerves, a clear brain, an unimpaired judgment, keen perceptions. The youth of today whose principles are firm and unwavering will be blessed with health of body, mind, and soul." E.G White

Practical Precepts: Guide to Daily Life # 2

Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a kind as the author ( God) pleases to make it. If short, of a short one; if long, of a long one. If it is His pleasure you should act a poor man, a cripple, a governor, or a private person, see that you act it naturally. For this is your business, to act well the character assigned you; to choose it is another's.

Practical Precepts: Guide to Daily Life

Remember that you must behave in life as at a dinner party. Is anything brought around to you? Put out your hand and take your share with moderation. Does it pass by you? Don't stop it. Is it not yet come? Don't stretch your desire towards it, but wait till it reaches you.

My Pledge to God

A Letter From A Broken-Hearted Friend. Would You Say Know To This Man???

Dear Friend,

How are you? I just had to send a note to tell you how much I care about you.  I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk to me too. I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to close you- and I waited. You never came. It hurt me-but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you sleeping last night and longed to touch your brow so I spilled moonlight upon your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awoke and rushed off to work/school. My tears were in the rain.

If you would only listen to me! I love you! I try to tell you in blue skies and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in leaves on the trees and breathe it in colours of flowers, shout it to you in mountain streams, give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean, and bigger than the biggest need in your heart!

Ask Me! Talk with Me! Please don't forget Me. I have so much to share with you!

I won't hassle you any further. It is YOUR decision. I have chosen you and I will wait--

                                                              I love you. Your Friend, JESUS

The Unique Christ-Divine or Simply Human?

His birth was contrary to the laws of life, His death was contrary to the laws of death. He had no cornfields or fisheries but He could spread a table for five thousand and have bread and fish to spare. He walked on no beautiful carpets or velvet rugs, but He walked on the waters of the Sea of Galilee and they supported Him.

When He died few men mourned Him, but a black crepe was hung over the sun. Though men trembled not for their sins, the earth beneath them shook under the load. All nature honoured Him. Sinners alone rejected Him. Corruption could not get hold of His body. The soil that had been reddened with His blood could not claim His dust.

Three years He preached His gospel. He wrote no book, built no church house, had no monetary backing. But after over twenty hundred years, He is the one central character of human history, the Pivot around which the events of the ages revolve, and the only Regenerator of the Human Race.

Was it merely the Son of Joseph and Mary, who crossed the world's horizon twenty hundred years ago? Was it merely human blood that was spilled on Calvary's Hill for the redemption of sinners? What thinking man can keep from exclaiming: "My Lord and My God!"
