Spiritual gifts

Indigenous groups throughout the world have one thing in common when it came to their fall; they all suffered at the hands of white men. Two indigenous groups that were infiltrated by western people were the Cherokee tribe and the Africans during Imperialism in Africa. During 1830 to 1831, the Indian Removal Act was enforced and more than ten thousand natives were relocated west of the Mississippi River. Thousands died before they could reach their new home. The reason for their removal of their…

Wilson puts it. I want to go more in depth about how the Spirit speaks. Point blank He speaks, and he does so to tell the mind of Jesus to us in the Kingdom. Many times the Holy Spirit speaks through our own individual gifts we have received. The Spirit speaks to and through all Christian believers. Well demonstrated in verse “Acts 2:16-21, 4:31, and 19:6”, to name a few. Not only does the Holy Spirit speak to all believers, but he also speaks with specificity. He uses…

Certainly, limitless people believe that the Creator gave human’s sexuality as an incredible gift, bestowing a desire for love that longs for intimate closeness and sexual contact; nevertheless, this assumption stops short in a great number of Biblical circles, due to some theologians surmising that sex is ‘only for reproduction.’ Conclusively, if the eroticism that can occur for procreation automatically vanishes after conception, then this presumption would be definitely factual. Yet, this…

Humans all over have been noticing the passage of time, forming ceremonies into admirable passages in our mental, emotional, and spiritual lives. Events that represent a major milestone in our early lives can be considered Rites of Passage. Rites of passage are ceremonial events marking the transition from one stage of life to the next. Wedding transition and customs alternate between societies today. Three of those societies being the Chinese, the French, and Americans. For the Chinese, wedding…

Touching the Holy One of the main themes of this book is to understand that God love us unconditionally, and no matter where we find ourselves, God 's love for us is unchangeable, His love for us is not based on our merit, it is based on His goodness. Robert Wicks helped this reader to appreciate his own ordinariness, it is our lack of trust in His love that keeps us from approaching our loving and caring God; our self doubts, our negative thought, the pressure to be extraordinary are the…

challenges, mental, physical, and spiritual. In Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, written by The Pearl Poet, Sir Gawain is called to task by The Green Knight At the start of the poem, King Arthur is eating dinner with all of his knights. They're drinking and eating no enjoying each other's company. There's a sudden knock on the door and in walks in The Green Knight. The Green Knight is in the mood to "play a game."

Samuel Logan Brengle was an incredible man used by God for his glory. His childhood was not easy. Both his parents passed away when he was relatively young, with his father passing away first and then his mother. After his father had died, despite a second marriage, the family lived in poverty. Samuel did have a rich Christian, family heritage. Both of his parents were Methodists and his father was a preacher as well as a Sunday school teacher. While both parents were Christians, it was his…

choose our own meaning of sex? No, we cannot choose our own meaning. No matter how we use sex, no matter what meaning we give it, outside of marriage sex is transformed into something much less than a gift. Sex is a language of undying love and commitment ‘for better or worse.’ I think people devalue the gift of sex because they think it is unimportant and think of it as another activity. Devaluing sex is the most thoughtful but least noticeable damage that occurs from sex outside of marriage.…

Because of this gift, it is reasonable to say about humanity that “the basic thing about us is that we are loved.” Our response to God for this generous gift of love from God, who also created us purely out of love, should naturally be worship and thanksgiving. This is why, as McCabe states, mankind can be at least partially defined as…

How can I get started?” Know that all your life experiences are helpful; they are the step-pingstones for your life’s work. In some ways, what you do now prepares you for your life’s work. For example, before starting my spiritual practice I ran a home-based business where I coached oth-ers in fulfilling their business and personal wellness goals. This busi-ness gave me the opportunity to work with people one-on-one, in small groups and large groups, in person and by phone…
