Moving With the Times

We are all in motion and although we so often rush about trying to get more done in less time, it rarely succeeds.  The more we push and panic the more we are held back by our own energies.

To lead an orderly life we need to keep ourselves in balance, so that the material way of life is kept equal with our spiritual needs.  If we fail to do this we are liable to damage ourselves in both body and soul.

When Jesus was asked about this he replied “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God's.”  In other words, keep yourselves in balance by dealing with the material world in keeping with your spiritual energies.

Do not take for granted what you are told to do by those who do not show that they are doing it themselves in their very own lives.

If you look at the pomp and ceremony within the Church, you see the riches that they have accumulated over many years, which are all to show themselves in that rich light, while their congregations around the world are by and large living in poverty.

 They will tell you that this richness is not for them but is showing the Glory of God to their Congregations, but this is not true as God needs no further illumination.  He is already richer and more glorious than Mankind can ever imagine.

The God of the 21^st century is a loving God and encourages all people to live in peace and harmony through His unconditional love.  He would far rather that the riches of the Church we used to feed the starving and put shoes on the feet of children.

In this broken world of wars and famine, it is necessary that we understand that these situations are brought about by man’s in humanity to man.

Humanity is led by the corrupt and greedy, so that there are areas of great neglect and poverty throughout the world and, in most major cities, there are ghettos of the deprived and unequal.

 When we understand this, we can start to see that this breeds resentment and, until these matters are addressed, there will be those who will take the law into their own hands and be vulnerable to the radical teaching of others, who teach fear and death.

God is a loving God and gave us freewill for us to use for the good of humanity and therefore it is us who fail Him and we should not blame the Higher Intelligence, who can see the whole picture, for the mistakes that we make.

Until we find it in our hearts to love what we have in common and not to allow fear and hatred to drive us apart, there can be no harmony among nations.

Religions will drive us apart into a continuing state of battling ideology instead of listening to our conscience and letting that loving God show us the way to making Heaven on Earth.

          It is within us all if we live in love and help those who are without food, fresh water, shelter, medical attention and an education for their family.

          Let us all be aware of the need of others and not walk by on the other side.
