Do you know who your own worst enemy is? Look in the mirror. Yes, that’s the person who keeps on pulling you down every step of the way. Some, or even most of us, continually, relentlessly, sadistically, and unmercifully flail and beat ourselves up. Although not in a literal sense, the reality is; dwelling on our faults is emotionally destructive, a sure fire way to bring us down and then keep us down. This kind of thinking will hold anyone back, it will keep you from living a healthy…

During the Antebellum Era, slavery expanded on such a scale that by the 1860s, there were nearly four million slaves in America. The growth of slavery in the US can be attributed to the invention of the cotton gin. With this new machine, cotton fibers can now be separated more efficiently and quickly from its seed. The efficiency of the cotton gin led to massive booms in production, which in turn led to the massive increase in the number of producers. These developments also led to the…

Yes, we have been discharged from The Law,
but we’re not freed from our responsibility;
as Children of Almighty God, we acknowledge
the duties of our spiritual accountability.
We’re to be obedient to the Spirit’s prompts
and not blindly to a codicil of written rules;
the framework of Godly principles assists us,
when circumstances of Life suddenly turn cruel.
The underlying difference is when perspective
changes from a slave to one of His…

“Since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another”. The words written on that photo caught my attention and I just have to share it. If you have been following my blogs, or if you’ve have read my book, I’m sure that it wouldn’t come as a surprise for you when I say that unconditional love and non-violence are intertwined. It is so entangled that there is no possible way to achieve non-violence without learning to show unconditional love. - See more at:…

Before we start, let us take a look at our two subject matters.
On one hand, Grace is seen as an unearned favor which is given to all of us whether we think we deserve it or not. It is a divine gift that can never be earned, as it is totally free and unmerited.
On the other hand, Karma refers to the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual; Good intent and good deed contribute to good karma and future…

The war may have been over, but nothing had changed. We still had no home to return to. We didn’t know where to sleep, where to get food, where to be safe. We had lost everything. I often found myself wondering: “Why don’t the Russian leave so we can go home?”
When we were ordered to get off the train in Winterberg, West Germany, I didn’t know what to think. I was too tired and weary, and still afraid. Fear was a constant companion of mine ever since the day we were evacuated from…

We all, each and every one of us, travel this journey called life yet the masses do so living lives which has been so powerfully expressed by Thoreau when he said “most men live lives of quiet desperation.” Although I knew that was me, what I came to realize was that’s indeed most of us. Thoreau’s observation begs a question: Why would anyone want to live a life of quiet desperation? Many of us are fond of quoting great minds and great thinkers, but I wonder how many of us act on what we…

Our existence has been the subject of debate and studies. Through time, more questions have been asked rather than given answers; even though we have dedicated most of our lives in looking for the right answers.
Some people have travelled far and wide just to try to get a clue. Others have tried various denominations in the world to know more about the religious and philosophical meaning of our existence. But how many of us have tried to search the answers within…

According to Match.com’s “Singles in America” survey, 47% of people reported engaging in a “friends with benefits” arrangement (notice I’m not using the word “relationship” because the point of the term is to not be in a relationship). This number hops to 63% according to MySecrets in which 26% actually believe it can work out (whatever “work out” means in this context is anyone’s guess). This begs the question about what “friends with benefits” actually entails and what its aims are. I…

Conditionalism, also called Conditional Immortality or Evangelical Conditionalism, is the theory of salvation according to Christian theology. Conditionalism is associated with immortality and obliteration. It is believed that immortality is presented to the mortals who believe in Jesus Christ while those who choose not to believe and follow His way will be obliterated and will simply cease to exist after their passing, as opposed to the traditional belief that the non-believers will be…

What was American society like during the antebellum era?
The Antebellum Era was a time of change. Besides the economic changes, the industrialization of the North also brought about numerous changes to the daily lives of the people living in America. Infrastructures like roads, railroads, canals, and turnpikes were built to improve the transportation of goods, and travelling from coast to coast became easier. Railroads grew so quickly in the 1830s that they surpassed the mileage…
