The Sacred Scriptures of Hinduism

At the heart of Hinduism are its collection of sacred scriptures, the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. The timeless truths of the Upanishads have recently been rediscovered here in the West.

Devotional Thought - Fire Ants

In Africa, after the rains, all sorts of bugs suddenly make their presence known. One of these is the fire ant.

Devotional Thought - Harmattan

They call it harmattan. A tan colored fog moves south from the Sahara Desert, on past the coast of Ghana, taking up to two months to pass any one point. One day it is clear and sunny, and of course hot and humid. The next day it is dry, cooler, and dirty.

Devotional Thought - Paint

Monica had worked in my house in Africa for a few years, but I had never had the opportunity to see her home. At the news of her brother’s and father’s deaths, I went to offer my comfort.

Devotional Thought - Stains

Desiring to preserve my wooden furniture, I use coasters under my drinking glasses. The more humid the atmosphere, the more the glasses “sweat.” In Africa the humidity reaches such high levels, that the coasters fill and overflow. My attempt to avoid the resulting stain is futile.

To Know Him Is to Love Him

God is Love. That's who He is! Without Him there is no real Love. If you should say that you love God, yet at the same time hate your brother, you would be lying.

Hitler Will Judge Us!

Hitler's Nazi Germany will rise up in judgment against our hypocritical nations!

Tolerance is Intellegence

And what we are seeing in the world regarding sectarian, fundamentalist aggressiveness is troubling. And we are seeing it more and more.

Belief

What is belief? Clear and bright eyes of a baby holding his mother’s hand, high voices of church choir, faith in goodness that can power everyone’s life, childish and sweet belief in the reality of miracles, belief in one’s talent that can give a person confidence enough to become something great.

Meaning of Woman in the Bible (Part Two)

You were created in the beginning as spirit and that is your true identity. The human mind has limited male and female to the egg and sperm issue. That is why all human beings have one source, their heavenly father who begot them. Color, creed, race are all natural phenomena and have no spiritual reality.
