This week my daughter sent me a link to download Chat gpt, an artificial intelligence program to try. I couldn’t resist asking it “What principles are necessary for a spiritual life” and watched with amazement as it immediately printed out the following answer verbatim: “What principles are necessary for a spiritual life?” The principles necessary […]
You Can’t Run Away From the Truth
We are told in Genesis that God created man in his own image, Jesus told us that we are the light of the world and that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, and Paul tells us that the Spirit of God dwells within us. We, as human beings, living in our daily lives are […]
Peace is a Thought Away
This affirmation is a statement of Truth about who you really are as a spiritual being. Our Bible tells us In Isaiah 26:3 (KJV), we are told “Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee.” Looking up the definitions of perfect and peace we get a wonderful picture of a […]
We Are Complete and Whole Just as We Are
This affirmation is a statement of Truth about who you really are as a spiritual being. Our Bible tells us that you are the light of the world (Mt. 5:14), the Temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16), ye are Gods (Jn. 10: 34) and even quotes Jesus in John 14:12 saying that those who believe […]
Life is Relationship
I found a quote by Rev. Michael Beckwith of Agape International Spiritual Center that points in a direction that begins to give us an idea on why we are here. Rev. Beckwith says: “You didn’t come in as a bystander, you came in as a participant.” A simple phrase that for me means we are […]
Lessons from ‘A Course of Love’

Is Change Here to Help You?
We are living in a world of change. All around us we see the effects of change. The cars we drive, the houses we live in, the foods we purchase, the roads we drive on, the schools we attend and our children attend, the places we work from, the identities we assume, and even the […]
In the Beginning Was the Word
This opening phrase from John 1:1 goes on to say, “and the word was with God, and the word was God.” This simple phrase has created countless opinions from theologians, Bible scholars, and religious leaders for years. You can spend hours with the countless pages of historical data that has been written on what this […]
We are Creators Living in Our Own Creation
Reading the first chapter of Genesis, it is clear that God, the Source of all Good, created the earth, the sky, all vegetation, the animal kingdom and everything that was necessary to sustain life and then said that everything created was Good. So, it appears that the earth was complete and whole and created for […]
We Are Here to Express Love
In Matthew 22:36, Jesus is asked by the Pharisees, who were trying to trap him with words, “Which is the greatest commandment in the law?” Jesus answered, Love the Lord, your God with all your heart, soul, might and mind. He then added that there is a second one that is just as important, Love […]
