Centered Life

Jesus exposed a spiritual value in His Sermon On The Mount, Matthew 5 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” In this life, we are not meant to escape the reality of loss, but to process our losses with God’s Grace. We live in a broken world with bodies that are “appointed [...]

A fresh start! What a great thought. The longer we live, the more we value this blessing. At the start of a New Year we have the sense of beginning again. We want to do it right, or at least – better! But, our experience is usually not so. We continue in the same way, [...]

Another year races to a close. The days and weeks peel away as the pages of a Sunday paper in the strong winds of life. Their passing awakens our hearts to the reality of the fleeting grasp we have on our time and our future. The prayer of Moses, the ancient lawgiver of Israel, brings [...]

We live in a time when the voices of this world are using derision and ridicule to discount the voice of faith. They intend to deride those of us that do not agree with them, particularly in the area of biblically moral truth and the creator God. They hypocritically deny any thought that does not [...]

The 2nd Coming & Earthquakes! On Wednesday evening I introduced the series of events listed in the Revelation, Chapters 6-16. This is the global scale of the consummation of the ages. That is, global, major earthquakes. All three series of events in these chapters of the unfolding cataclysms, the 7 seals, the 7 trumpets, and the [...]

My daughter’s recent resolution to conquer time on www.maniacalmother.blogspot.com has stirred a challenging thought.      We should endeavor to conquer time. We exist “in time,” and are creatures “of time.” Since time is relative to our perspective and our perspective is bound by our existence and our existence is reflective of our actions, we can [...]

The Joseph Company is a gathering of small businessmen and entrepreneurs. The name is taken from the story of Joseph as told in the Bible, Genesis 37:1 through Genesis 50:26. God used Joseph to save Israel and all of the known world at that time. This audio message was given to the group that gathered [...]

It is hard to watch the daily headlong plunge into the abyss of irresponsibility and self-delusion. All for a vain hope of circumventing the pain of our choices! The elites (bureaucrats, edu-crats, and media monopolies) consider themselves creatures of greater enlightenment and higher evolution, above the fray. Their insanity is being swallowed by the mob. Their arrogance [...]

Here’s a thought. We need to pursue the idea that we can “peel the onion” of our belief systems to clasify the core. As a stone in the pond produces a diminishing strength of ripples, so also, our beliefs produce ripples that radiate out from our core of absolutes. We do what we believe! These [...]

There seems to be a lot of people setting themselves on “higher moral ground” withouth having to pay the price. Defined by Theodore Dalrymple as “False Apology Syndrome”, many apologize for the failure of others at no cost to themselves. There is a big difference between shame and guilt! One of the key self-flagellating topics of [...]
