James 2:26 tells us that “For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.” James is the brother of Jesus who became the head of the first Christian church. He was a man of great authority writing to the Christian Jews dispersed throughout the Roman Empire, reminding […]
Father God is Present in all Situations
It is Fathers’ Day we are celebrating this weekend and we are also aware that we have a brand-new federal holiday called Juneteenth that celebrates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the message of freedom to enslaved black people in Galveston. Paul says in his second letter to Timothy (written from prison) “I remind […]
Waiting For Things to Unfold
The epitome of trust and faith is knowing that things are going to work out in the highest and best form for us no matter what it ultimately looks like. This is knowing in advance that God is good, and all is well. Sounds easy when we speak it until we come face to face […]
We Can Only Resolve Conflict with Love

This is evident as we come out of the pandemic related lockdowns that we have all been through for the last year. We do not […]
Accepting the Loving Benevolence of the Universe
A Course of Love in day 3.59 says, “You cannot accept…..the compassionate and loving benevolence of the Universe, God, and the All of All, and still accept and believe in the reality of lack.” An amazing statement shared by Jesus in the latest update of His words and teachings. ‘A Couse of Love’ is a […]

Healing and Correction Must Come From Within
For countless years of written history there has been strife, wars, conflict, and man’s injustice toward man. During all these times, the human mind has created countless systems of government, rules and regulations, and economic structures that have been designed to make life work amiably for humankind and we are still facing the same obstacles […]
Matter is Matter and Spirit is Spirit
In Jesus’s conversation with Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, he tells Nicodemus, in John 3:6, “What is born of the flesh is flesh and what is born of the Spirit is spirit”. Flesh is form, matter, corporeal, with body and can be seen, touched and experienced in the material world. Spirit is without form, […]
Love is the Only Power in the Universe
Our first Unity Principle says: “There is only one Presence and one power active as the universe and as my life, God the Good.” This is a pretty clear declaration of the spiritual truth that Jesus shared in his ministry. All there is, is Love and all there is, is God. 1 John 4:16 tells […]
