			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I&#8217;d like to discuss about the power of our words, the words that come out from your mouth have power. Have you ever notice that what you said often happens and some of it bounce back to you again. Why was that, lets find out more about it.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37)<br />
<span id="more-81"></span><br />
Remember that God concerning about our quality and quantity of our words, so its time to say the truth only. Also remember that the world were created with Words of God, storm stop only with Words as well.</p>
<p>Our word need to be filter down, why because credibility, reputation comes with life, words also could decide the life and death of someone as written below:<br />
<em>The tongue has the power of life and death,<br />
   and those who love it will eat its fruit.</em><br />
(Proverb 18:21)</p>
<p>And many people are not realize and unable to conquer their own tongue.<br />
<em> 1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.</p>
<p> 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.</p>
<p> 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.</p>
<p> 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.</em><br />
(James 3:1-12)</p>
<p>There are common things that we often do with our tongue, a useless efforts that hurts others feeling such as gossip, rumors, lying and fake hospitality.  Gossip, rumors and other things similar to it, often comes with judging others, this is what we should avoid. The judgment only belong to the Lord, so be very careful with your tongue, its better to use it to say some grace and you&#8217;ll be amazed with what your words affect your lives.</p>
<p>The power of words eventually would make a great <a href="http://studentessayhelp.com/" target="_blank">essays samples</a> for your own references and might be a good discussion in panel.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As Christian, we should be dreaming of all the world know and believe the existing of Jesus, and put Jesus as the Lord. But to do it, it is our job to do it, an evangelism explosion should be start from us.</p>
<p>In order to do that lets have a look on evangelism explosion principal as mention below:<br />
<span id="more-71"></span><br />
1. Every Christian should be witness<br />
How to be a witness, you should know that every one beside you, either it is your own family, neighbor, friends, work partners, might be not know Jesus and Christianity. So its time for you to be a living witness.</p>
<p>&#8220;But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1 : <img src='http://www.catholicdioceseofndola.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>2. Its shepherd responsibility to equipped the holy man.<br />
Because evangelism is tasks and Christian responsibility, then the shepherd should train their men and women in order to prepare them to evangelism.</p>
<p>11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. (Ephesians 4:11-12)</p>
<p>3. The best evangelism training is on the field.<br />
The reasons why Jesus, take twelve of apostles, is so that they able to hear, felt, and see it them self how Jesus teach and serve everyone. From the day rise, until they close their eyes, they could see the figure of Jesus.</p>
<p>He appointed twelve[a] that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach. (Mark 3:14)</p>
<p>Evangelism is something we should do as Christian, these days the spread of the information could be sent through any media such as internet. And of course hopefully it could be more effective. In order to secure the safety use of the network, some application such as <a href="http://fpscomponents.com/Products/virtual-keyboard.aspx" target="_blank">virtual keyboard for windows</a> could be use. Because we want to keep the information safe and spread it correctly, its better to prevent it then confront it.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how good and expensive your clothes are, it only comfortable when it is used in clean, not in dirt. Although of course you could use it in dirty, but I believe it will smell not great. Other then that smelly clothes also meaning that bacteria and germs are growing in your clothes.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m using those illustration above like our relationship with the Lord. We, human, are precious thing in His eyes. Our precious is proven when Jesus died for us. He sacrifice His life in order to save us, in replacement of our sins.<br />
<span id="more-67"></span><br />
But don&#8217;t you know that its not stop just in there, The Lord want us to take off our dirty clothes, they want us to replace it, into new one, the clean one. He doesn&#8217;t want us to cover it with new ones, it could made the new dirty.</p>
<p>Its like our self, we often compensate with what we do, we want to get rid our bad old behavior in exchange of something else. That&#8217;s not what the Lord want us to do, He want us to do the right thing, without any excuses.</p>
<p>Living holy or in sacred way is not an option, its a must. Why? because our old character could not blend with our new ones, we have to left the old one, and carry on with the new one. Left it out, and let the Lord lead you the way.</p>
<p><em>1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.</p>
<p> 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.</p>
<p> 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.</p>
<p> 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. </em><br />
Colossians 3:1-17</p>
<p>Faith and religion is always good material for paper, <a href="http://buyessay.org/write-my-paper.html" target="_blank">Write my paper</a> able to help you with it.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind&#8221;. (2Timothy 1:7). Believe it or not, fear is one of the biggest cause that make your life less happier.</p>
<p>If you invite those fear inside you, it will grow and the harder you&#8217;ll find joy. Fear is something that effect on our mental health, and eventually will come to your physical healthiness.<br />
<span id="more-53"></span><br />
An old story from India have a good point of fear and mental. Its about mouse fears. A fear mouse who afraid of his safety and lives, comes to some witches, and ask to turn him into cat, because he just don&#8217;t want to be prey.</p>
<p>Later when he have became cat, the fears come again when he see a dog. He&#8217;s so afraid that he came again to the witches and ask to be turn into a dog.</p>
<p>But when he have became a dog, another fears come again when he see a tiger, so then he came again to the witches and ask to be turn into a tiger.</p>
<p>Just as you expected, this tiger afraid of the hunters, and there we go again, seeing the witches and ask to be turn into hunter. But because this is the forth request, the witches says no, and tell him that whatever he wants to be, if he still got mental of a mouse, then even though he got body as strong as a rock, its not useful.</p>
<p>Those story sometimes reminds us, and might be one of us is the mouse, want to be transform into someone else, but when we do, we still complain. Starting from now its time to fill our self with power of love and sound mind, not fear. And face your lives with optimism and happiness.</p>
<p>There are many other story that touch our hearts, for some people they only consider it as <a href="http://mywritingexpert.com/content/high-school-papers.html" target="_blank">high school papers</a>, but its not just a papers, or ordinary tasks, look it more further and seek your own happiness.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ten Ways to Connect With the Divine and to Find the Higher Self </p>
<p>Each religion approaches the divine in a unique way. Here are ten universal paths practiced by devotees to find God and connect with the higher self. </p>
<p>Every path to God is a personal experience, a private journey. No one path is inherently superior, as all paths to God are valid and useful.<br />
Jesus said, &#8220;I and the Father are One.&#8221; (John 10:30) Humans and God are one. As devotees draw nearer and nearer to God, the ultimate goal is to merge with the Divine in an intimately spiritual union. Sri Ramana Maharishi, the famous Indian guru who achieved enlightenment at the age of 16, asserts, &#8220;God, Guru, and the Self are the same.&#8221; (p. 10, Erase the Ego)<span id="more-34"></span><br />
Meditation as a Means to Draw Near to God<br />
When a devotee quiets the mind, the inner voice can be more easily heard and heeded. Meditation allows for the cultivation of the state of mind needed to achieve enlightenment.<br />
Buddhists, Christians, Hindus and other religions use meditation as a means to quiet the inner chatter and hear the voice of God, or the wisdom of the Higher Self.<br />
Prayer as a Communication and Primary Path to God<br />
Prayer can take many forms, including recitation of a mantra or repetitions with a rosary. Prayer can be a silent plea to the universe or a specific, intimate dialog with a personal, living God.<br />
Prayer can involve specific requests of God or the Universe; expressions of appreciation for blessings; and communications of thanks, or cries for help.<br />
Temporary Vow of Silence to Find the Higher Self and God<br />
Silence does not just involve resting the vocal cords. Many religions advocate silent retreats, such as Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists.<br />
Ritual silence can be used as a religious tool to quiet the mind to a deeper level than a meditative session. Silence is a disciplined, unique way to connect with the Higher Self and with God.<br />
Yoga as a Discipline to Reconnect the Mind, Body, and Spirit With God<br />
This ancient discipline is a subtle yet powerful path to God. The root word &#8220;yuj&#8221; means &#8220;to join, to yoke, to concentrate one&#8217;s attention.&#8221;<br />
According to the Sanskrit Glossary of Yogic Terms, yoga is &#8220;a method of practice leading to conscious union of the human being (atman) with the universal existence of Brahman.&#8221; Brahman is the Hindu Trinity Godhead, similar to Christianity&#8217;s concept of the Holy Trinity. (Yoga Publications Trust, 2007)<br />
Tithing and Offerings to God<br />
Flowers, money, and personal sacrifice (as Catholics practice during Lent) are all examples of devotees&#8217; external expressions of offering a part of themselves. Devotion is expressed through offerings, gift giving, giving of oneself. Tithing and offerings are expressions of love.<br />
Acts of Kindness and Compassion as an Expression of the Divine<br />
Jesus preached the importance of loving others, including it as one of the Ten Commandments given to Moses. The Dalai Lama teaches that compassion can be learned, and calls all who wish to achieve enlightenment to practice compassion.<br />
Forgiveness is a supreme act of compassion, and also shows emotional and spiritual maturity. To forgive is divine, and is one way to draw closer to God.<br />
Study of the Holy Texts Illuminate the Path to God<br />
The Jewish religion emphasizes study as a means to understand and draw nearer to God. Christians study the Bible, revering the sacred text as a manifestation of God Himself: &#8220;And the Word became flesh&#8230;&#8221; (John 1:14)<br />
Healthy Love of Self and Emotional Maturity as a Path to God<br />
If God and the Self are the same, then a healthy love of self is absolutely necessary in spiritual growth, devotion to and love of God. Healthy love of oneself is a step in reconnecting to the Higher Self and emotional maturity allows for synthesis of mind, body and spirit.<br />
Ethical Decisions Draw the Righteousness Near to God<br />
Ethics does not involve right vs. wrong or good vs. evil, but rather entails a consistency of moral code. While some religions may differ on ideas and philosophies of morality, ethics and righteousness prove a powerful path to God, as a disciplined approach to what one believes is right.<br />
Rituals as an Outward Expression of Devotion and Commitment to God<br />
Pagans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others all practice religious rituals. Culturally, humans crave ritual to give order and increase meaning to outward acts of devotion. Rituals can provide structure and discipline to devotion. Some use rituals as a tangible lifeline that leads directly to God.<br />
Devotees can use one, several, or all of these paths to God and to the Higher Self. For example, japa mala combines ritual with prayer and meditation.<br />
Just as seekers approach the study of the Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, from different angles, so the seeker can approach and ultimately unite with the Divine, the One God, the Higher Self, or the Universe using any of these valid and powerful paths.</p>]]></content:encoded>
