Christian Mentoring Team to help you succeed in life. By : john fagan You can have an abundance. This is what it says in Psalms 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Ayat Al-Ulul Amr By : Dr. D.S. Merchant "The Koran (4:59) says: "O you who believe, obey God, and obey the Messenger and those of you who holds authority (ulul amr)" Some tend to interpret ulul amr as the rulers. This interpretation is irrational as it is solely based on the twists of history. The majority of the Muslims have remained as a vassal of the monarchs and rulers, interpreting and reinterpreting Islam and the Koran to strengthen their own kingdom. The history of Muslims is replete with the names of rulers whose injustice, debauchery and tyranny have tarnished the name of Islam. If God were to order us to obey such kings and rulers, an impossible situation would be created for Muslims. The wretched followers would be condemned to the displeasure of God, no matter what they do. If they obey these rulers, they have disobeyed the Command of God: "Do not obey a sinner" (76:24). And if they disobey such rulers, they have again disobeyed the Command of God: "Obey the Muslim rulers" (if it would mean so). Therefore if we accept this interpretation, Muslims are condemned to eternal disgrace whether they obey or disobey their fallible (sinful) rulers. Also, there are Muslim rulers of different schools and persuasions. There are Shafi'is, Hanbalis, Malikis, Hanafis, as well as the Shi'ites and Ibadis. Now, according to this interpretation the Sunnis residing under an Ibadi king (like in Jordan) should follow Ibadi tenets; and those residing under a Shi'ites ruler (like in Iran) should follow the Shi'ites beliefs. Do these people have the conviction of courage to follow their professed interpretation to its logical end? There's a whole system out there running your (and everone else's) universe... By : DR. Robert C. Worstell All self help and self improvement books, tapes, seminars - all these say the same thing and cover the same basics. They just have different flavors and styles. They appeal to different people on different levels. Here is the argument that all the belief-systems on this planet run on the same basics. Just like Nature. See if this pair of boots fits you... Don't Believe... Know! By : David Taylor Our lives are full of experiences that contribute to the way we feel about ourselves, and the quality of that self-esteem can have a great effect on the way we live. Accidents, illness, bereavements, relationship break-ups, etc. can all take their toll, leaving us drained of energy, out of balance, and even feeling like a part of us is missing somewhere.

Lessons from a Spiritual Pilgrimage to India By : temp It's incredible to me how life slows down in India and there is time for everything.

Nowhere to Rest! By : Rev. David B. Smith Luke 9:57-62 Nowhere to Rest! As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." To another he said, "Follow me."
