			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you notice your bible, especially in the old testament, you might consider this chapter as vengeance verse, we could read about an eyes for an eyes, tooth for tooth. Those making people consider in old testament, there are no grace, as we could found plenty of it in new testament.</p>
<p>The old testament, which is filled with Moses scripture and others are actually have lots of grace on it. Lets find out more about it.<br />
<span id="more-83"></span><br />
The power of the grace you could found in the live of Abraham, Noah, Moses, Job, David, Zacharie, etc. Look at their life, putting the Lord as the first, and something that we could learn in here, when you&#8217;re living on the grace, you could talk to the Lord. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? In order to save those two town from fire, Abraham talking and not just talking, but also negotiating with the Lord about the number of people who still believe in Him. That&#8217;s the true grace.</p>
<p>So what is the sign of those grace?<br />
1. Person with grace would have compassion tho others.<br />
2. Able to live in full obedience, enthusiastic, and loyalty that proven by time and condition.<br />
3. Realize that all things come from God, by God, and for the God alone. So whatever happens in their lives, always put God as the first of everything.</p>
<p>The power of grace, starting from middle east and spread all over the world for us, take a good advantage of it. Find out about <a href="http://easttime.info/" target="_blank">central asia analytics</a> to keep up with the latest update in middle east. </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>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>
