A particle afloat in the ocean of infinity, Yet, so conscious of self in profuse vanity -- Lofty though his thoughts may be, they're all profanity. Man is nothing, made of nothing, that's his identity. Emptiness craves for sensation beyond sanity, Like a black hole eating anything in its vicinity, Such is the tale of empty, chaotic, gravity; Man is nothing, made of nothing, that's his identity. Lost in a world of baneful, belligerent brevity, Filled with protests of ignoramus sincerity, Tossed between lines lacking any clarity, He lives, dies, and is buried in utter poverty. ________________ The Son of God came down from His celestial city, He left Heaven and donned the garb of humanity. He lived, loved, and served in all simplicity, Then died by the hands of those professing religiosity. But, He arose the third day, breaking death's jaws of fatality, Alas, the shame of those who die in their hostility! For the Son of Man is ascended to the Throne of Supremity -- And al...

FIRST PRAYER Words and Music by Randy Stonehill I've been waiting for a long, long time Hoping you're a friend of mine If there's one thing that I need to do Well, that's to find out more about you I have been wandering all of my days So if you're there, show me the way I see people in a world of lies Staring out through lonely eyes Watching as the years go by Knowing they're living only to die There must be something missing somewhere So if you're listening answer this prayer I will follow if you'll lead me Help me make a stand If you'll breathe new breath inside of me I'll believe you can, I'll believe you can Well, I never really learned to pray But you know what I'm trying to say I don't want my life to end Not ever knowing why it began So if you'll trust me, I'll do my best And I'll be trusting you for the rest 1976 King of Hearts Publishing All rights reserved. ...

1st Prize Winning Speech by Anna Massey YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SEMINAR New Delhi 2011 THE LITERAL meaning of the term "empowerment" is to give authority or power to someone or to enable someone. Today the main concept of our youth meeting is "youth empowerment". By this we mean to give authority or power and enable the youth of the christian community. As it is written in 1 Timothy 4:12 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity..." With this we must understand that by being a Christian we must set examples for others irrespective of our age. We must live our lives with love, faith and purity and set an example for others so that they might admire us. We must always obey and respect our father and mother as the Bible says in Exodus 20:12 "Honour your mother and father, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." and ev...

7 Characteristics of a Happy Family (Hindi) Living Word Chapel, Sanjaynagar October 11, 2011 Dr. Domenic Marbaniang परमेश्‍वर चाहता है कि हमारा परिवार सुखी हो। आज हम सुखी परिवार के सात लक्षण देखेंगे, लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नही की लक्षण सात ही है। जैसे जैसे आप और नई बातें सीखेंगे आप इसमें जोडते जाएं। निम्‍न बिन्‍दुओं पर गौर करें। संक्षिप्‍त में विवरण भी दिए गएं है। 1. स्‍नेह (Love) परिवार में स्‍नेह भावना आवश्‍यक है। परमेश्‍वर चाहता है कि परिवार ही स्‍नेह का सर्वोत्‍तम स्‍थान बनें। जब परिवार में इसकी कमी होती है तो सदस्‍य घर से बाहर स्‍नेह की तालाश करते है जिसके कारण परिवार की मजबूती ज्‍यादा नही रह पाती है। 2. समझ (Understanding) आपसी मतभेद के बावजूद एक दूसरे को समझने का प्रयास करना अतिआवश्‍यक है। कई बार सदस्‍य एक दूसरे पर दोश लगाने लगते है कि वे समझते नही या ये समझते नही। दोश लगाने से कुछ भला नही होता। समझ प्रेम और विश्‍वास का बंधन है। 3. समर्पण (Devotedness) परिवार मे लक्ष्‍य एवं समर्पण की भावना होना चाहिए। समर्पण आपसी हो और लक्ष्‍य पर केंद्रित हो। यहोशु को याद करे जिसने कहा कि वह अपने...

Text: Luke 9:51-56 Living Word Chapel, SNGR Sunday, October 09, 2011. Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village.(Luke 9:51-56) Every day, from morning till evening, we go through a number of experiences that excite our emotions, that compel our reactions, and that inspire our decisions. However, every time, we are reacting to som...

Published in REVIVE (formerly Trumpet Magazine) , Kumbanad, Sept 11. Of all the aphorisms on freedom ever uttered by human lips, the most liberating one is the declaration of Jesus in John 8:32: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He further qualified it with another in verse 36, "If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." More than any other time in history, the modern century is witness to this unshakeable truth of the Scriptures. Despite the ironic failure of the 18th century Enlightenment, which, while celebrating the freedom of the human mind from the shackles of religion, gave rise to an era of cosmic skepticism, and the horrific tales of the French Revolution that produced both the guillotines and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen at the same time, the 19th century unabashedly ventured to erect a Babel of scientific and philosophical theories that attempted to redefine the meaning of man apart fro...
