Poem: The Kingdom of God

What are we really looking to receive?

Is it: Money, Fame, Success, or Promotion?

Secret lusts of the heart create problems;

are we willing to risk, His Salvation?

Living to get things will never satisfy;

without proper priorities and pursuits,

righteousness, peace and joy isn’t obtained.

Knowing your identity in Him, His fruit,

mercy and grace becomes obviously evident.

Seeking His face will insure that His hand

remains open towards…

Writing and writing

It’s been a few weeks since my last post and I’ve been busy. Finishing THE END TIME and AS IT IS IN HEAVEN this year has drained me a bit of my creativity. Though recently I have been getting ideas for my next project.

 

In the meantime, I have taken on the task of rewriting, re-editing, and reformatting my three book middle-grade sci-fi series (adults will love it, too) that I completed way back in 2003. I plan on re-publishing the books individually and as a box set. Each…

Everyone loves results!

It’s Monday morning and my weekend promotional blitz is winding down though I am still selling books. I must say the results of my blitz were quite surprising. Four years ago, when I first started indie publishing my large catalog of titles, I spent a small fortune on advertising on reader-friendly sites like KND and Kindleboards. They were considered the biggies and prices and competition were high.

 

I never got a return on my investment. Yes, I did sell a lot of books, and I…

A Personalized Relationship for a Perfect Prescription

Pharmacogenomics or personalized medicine is based on the concept of using an individual’s genetic profile to determine the best treatment regimen for them. This is facilitated by a prediction of the benefits that individual is likely to obtain from that particular regimen. This prediction takes into account the potential side effects of the treatment as well. Conventional drugs are tested on large population groups from which the average response is reported and recorded. Personalized…

A Bandit's Story

In some parts of the world corrupt, evil and aggressive politicians can simply raise any claims for territory which historically was unknown to them. Isn’t this why most of the wars were fought?  People simply walked into the territory of the indigenous people, forcing the natives inland or killing as many of them as possible until they are no longer of danger to the invaders. Then after some years, they claimed the territory belonged to them and they wanted independence.  So don’t you think…

Sakyamuni Buddha Part 4

Hindu sages had vague ideas about kamma and rebirth. The Buddha expounded them in details, fully and accurately. The Buddhists don’t believe an almighty god, but the Hindus do. In Buddhism every human is equal but the Hindus teach the caste system. Buddhists don’t believe in ritual purification, but for the Hindus, ritual purification is crucial.

Buddhism is a science because it stands up to verification. There are three main types of Buddhism today: Theravada, Mahayana &…

Buddhist Dilema during the colonial days

Buddhists dilemma during the colonial days

 

Buddhism was portrayed as sinful and blasphemous as a religion of the illiterate and backward people. It was then highly fashionable to be Christians, use Christian names, eat with steel forks and steel spoons, and carry a holy book every Sunday.

 

Buddhists were also hindered in other ways:

 

1)      Their children must be baptized to be eligiable for birth certificates

2)      Unbaptized…

Sakyamuni Buddha, Part 2

 

When Siddhartha attained  Nibbana He wanted to help His former teachers but they were beyond help because they were reborn  as unconscious beings (Asanna Satta). These are beings born because of  the trance they were in and they have no thoughts, but a succession of atoms of and energy. They remain like statues and at the end of many aeons, will again get the rebirth thought and normal life with conscious activity in the three realms with ceaseless renewing existence either in hell,…

Introduction to Buddhism, Part 2

 

 

Buddhism has never been dogmatic, cynical, dictatorial, or monopolistic. Buddhists tenets have never been ambiguous. They never attempt to hoodwink, mislead, inflate or deceive others, or to exert control over others, things or events. Using force or pressure to induce belief is repugnant to the Buddhists and they also don't use high positions to attract converts. Buddhism does not consist of dictatorial religious laws and religious punishment. The Buddhists never had…

Introduction to Buddhism, Part 1

Introduction:

The motive in writing this book is not to show others that Buddhism is superior to all other religions.  It is to revive the teachings and spread it.

Buddhism was not derived from Hinduism and was not stereotyped as many anti-Asian people used to believe. This group of racists said the fire and brimstones hells mentioned in Buddhism were borrowed from Christianity, not realizing that Buddhism was prevalent over 500 years before Jesus was born.

Buddhism and…

The Plight Of Christian Authors

In the summer of 2004, I had a startling, life-changing Holy Spirit encounter. Following that encounter, I became a Holy Spirit-inspired writer. I had no previous experience of book publishing, therefore when I completed my first book I had no idea of how and with whom to publish my book.

My first book is a question and answer book with me asking God the questions on behalf of the entire human race and God the Maker providing all the answers. As far as I was concerned, this makes my…

Poem: The God Habit

Praising the Lord, on each and every Sabbath,

is a small piece of practicing “the God Habit”.

For one of the best ways for healthy livin’,

is using the brain, that you’ve been given.

Know that thoughts always precede your actions;

idle words leak power and create distractions.

Where the mind goes, the Man always follows;

is it better to walk in the Light or in shadows?

Commune with the Spirit to avoid fleshly lusts;

demonstrate that in Him, you…
