Take a look at previews to all our spiritually uplifting articles. Each article provides great insight and they all help you see that the real place to start any improvement is from within.

Keep It Simple Savior (2/12/2008)   It can appear as though there is something wrong with God in making the return trip to him so confusing, however, the one theme that flowed through all of Jesus' true teachings was that the path to truth and God is very simple.

Prophecies of Doom (10/30/2007)   End time prophecies of doom appear to provide glimpses of our future, but all they really do is diminish our capacity to see that we have total say about the future, because the future is based upon what your mind believes is possible or inevitable.

Achieving Peace Through War (10/15/2007)   The end of war does not bring peace, it just brings about the end of war. This confusion of defining the result of winning a war as an indication we have achieved peace, can be corrected by being willing to see things differently and more clearly.

God Is Agape Love (9/11/2007)   We are creatures of love that thrust ourselves into what appears to be a world of hate. The influence of fear and separation has provided us with the perception that love can exist on several levels.

Beyond Any Secret (6/11/2007)   Recent beliefs hypothesize how our lives are surrounded by infinite choices and infinite outcomes...infinite directions with infinite possibilities. These beliefs have declared that you can now direct your own path to improve any aspect of your life.

Will God Ever Forgive You? (4/26/2007)   To understand why total forgiveness seems almost impossible, we need to ask why we value the concept of forgiveness in the first place, and look at what motivates us to run from it or embrace it, depending upon which end of an issue we see ourselves.

The Family Tomb of Jesus (3/5/2007)   If there is indeed evidence of Jesus' tomb, how then can we say he resurrected? The Bible appears clear that this was a major event and a primary purpose of the messiah. How then could there be a dead body for a resurrected Jesus?

Are You Saved? (2/11/2007)   Recently, a man asked 'Are you saved?'. I think this question is asked of most of us at some time or another, and perhaps you were even the one that was asking the question. 'Are you saved?' What exactly does this question mean, and/or imply?

Find Out Where The Anti-Christ Is (11/19/2006)   The anti-christ is the opposite of Christ, thus anti Christ. I will show you where the anti-christ is, but it would be helpful for you to first take another look at what Jesus Christ represented.

Contradictions of Spirit (11/12/2006)   There are undeniable truths in the Bible that show our God as a god who loves unconditionally, however, there are many contradictions in the spirit of how our God of love has otherwise behaved.

About Your Right To Be Upset (10/18/2006)   This world has taught you that when you feel you are wronged, you have the right to be upset and you have the right to expect and seek justice, but you are the only one who suffers from this.

The Real Face Of The Anti-Christ (8/6/2006)   From a religious perspective, God is the potter and we are the clay and he can do with us as he pleases...and I accept this concept as well. The only problem is what the religious community assumes to be the things he would do to us.

Where Have All The Blessings Gone? (5/1/2006)   We have all prayed for things and later questioned why God did not help us. What is it that you must do to gain God's favor and receive the blessings that will heal your body, mind and spirit?

Truth Will Set You Free From Fear (4/9/2006)   If and when you find yourself defending your beliefs, it is only because your beliefs are capable of being attacked. You do not need to defend what cannot be damaged or attacked. Truth needs no defense.

When You Can't Forgive (1/15/2006)   Before you can forgive what you believe somebody has done to you, you must first fix what you have surely done to yourself. Your desire to be forgiving has become clouded and needs to be healed.

Why Did God Create Things That Decay and Die? (11/15/2005)   It can be very confusing to try to understand why God created a world where so much pain, suffering and death can occur. To see this more clearly, we need to look at creation itself.

Persecuted For Being Like God (9/15/2005)   Why has the world chosen to kill and attack individuals who act a lot like our Biblical God and demonstrate his traits? We need to take a closer look at the people we choose to persecute if we also choose to model our lives after our Biblical God.

Seeing God For The First Time (7/15/2005)   By not blindly accepting an ancient version of God, we become willing to see things more truthfully, otherwise, we will have to create religions, rules and concepts to explain away all the things that really don't make sense.

Living Without (5/15/2005)   No matter what you believe you are living without, the only thing missing is having God at the core of what you believe you are missing. You will then see that issue differently and will no longer see it as something you are living without.

Prophecies of The End Times (3/15/2005)   And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the alter the souls of them that were slain for the word of God: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 'How long, O Lord, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth'.

An Act of God (1/20/2005)   When a tragic event occurs on earth, we often describe the event as 'An Act of God'. On the surface, most of us don't believe that God specifically caused the event, but the concept still exists and we call it 'An Act of God' for a reason.

Accepting God's Greatest Gift (11/20/2004)   Accepting Gods greatest gift is to accept the Son of God. The Son of God, although wonderfully personified through Jesus, is not just composed of Jesus. We are all part of the Son of God and we are all special.

What Is The Point? (09/09/2004)   God does not bring about those things we consider bad, but when we have opened ourselves for such things to occur, he is already there with a solution to heal the problem you have allowed to arise.

Holding Onto Your Peace (05/20/2004)   As with God and love, peace never leaves, we just put things in its way. After obscuring our peace, we say it has left, but it hasn't...we simply obscured it. Eliminate the unpeaceful thoughts and peace is right where it always has been.

Sharing is Healing (03/10/2004)   Whatever it is that you desire for yourself, share that thing with your fellow man and then you shall have it in greater measure as well. Learning to share is the one way in which we can have true blessings in our lives.

The Skeletons in our Closet (01/25/2004)   The first step to receiving real help is in surrendering the concept that you can somehow do this on your own, or that there is something you must do to fix it. The greatest of all things is just to be willing to change.

It's All About Choice (11/12/2003)   You can choose to accept this world as man has made it, or you can do as Jesus did and choose to see things differently. God was then able to help Jesus grow spiritually to a level never seen before.

In Everything You Do (08/23/2003)   Reaching for God. Searching for Peace. Wanting Happiness. Yearning for Love. These are all things we desire and even a hundred more things beyond that, but to seek these things is an indication that we feel we don't already have them.

There's Power in Disbelieving (06/05/2003)   The focus for trusting God is to stop believing what the world is teaching and start believing what God is teaching you. God teaches Happiness and Health. To believe God is to disbelieve the world.

Why Isn't God Helping You? (03/17/2003)   I have come to a realization about how we are purposely turning away from all the things that God is giving us. At any moment you can choose to see where this is true for yourself as well. Let me share how I was able to see this clearly.

God Is... (01/11/2003)   Perfect love casts out all fear, which simply states that fear and love don't and can't exist at the same time. The concept or idea to fear God is mans idea, not God's.

God Isn't Hiding (11/09/2002)   There is never a moment when God isn't speaking to you. There is never a time when your focused moment of silence can't penetrate the wall you have placed between yourself and God.

He Who Is Without Guilt (09/05/2002)   Most of what we do is based upon feeling guilty and by inflicting guilt upon others in order to get what we want. This concept of guilt is what keeps us separated from each other and from our Creator.

Spiritual Drugs (04/09/2002)   Spiritual drugs are things that help you believe beyond your current abilities, such as crosses, figures, oils, crystals, churches and people. Drugs are helpful, but should not be used forever.

Being You (03/15/2002)   Your brain may be the most complicated electrochemical computer ever designed, but it's not who you are, because it dies. You never die because spirits don't die.

Gods Creative License (02/21/2002)   God does not have arms and legs, but he does have the ability to love, forgive and create, as do we. Everything you see was created by a thought. As children of God, we inherited this ability as well.

The Spirit Of CHRISTmas (11/23/2001)   Christ's message to us was very simple, yet religion has created tons of rules and guidelines to follow. The most important thing he taught is not stressed enough - Live by the spirit of love.

Let The Sunshine In (09/08/2001)   We fear things we don't understand or have no apparent control over. How could we not be afraid of the things we can't see and understand? Is there a God? Are there miracles? Who made me?

Learn To Forgive (05/29/2001)   You can let go of the past by understanding it has no meaning for what you are trying to accomplish today. You can learn from the past, but you can't live there. Let it go. It will only hold you back.

Pursue The Truth (03/14/2001)   Truth, the light of life, will never be achieved until you open all the darkness you've allowed yourself to close in. You must confront each issue that you have been cleverly denying or hiding away.

I consider it a wonderful blessing that my insight and writings can provide opportunities for those around me to see things from perspectives they had not considered before. I pursue Gods truths and am open and willing to see what God would have me see. You are invited to join me.

My influences consist of being truly open to seeing and applying the truths I have discovered through life and through both the "Bible" and "A Course in Miracles".
