Do we need the rules of religion in order to be good people? The German philosopher Immanuel Kant tackles this question in his 1793 text Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason.

One of the most fascinating talks by Osho on meditation. We gain a deeper understanding and an actual experience about meditation by listening to this talk which brings us into a space of meditation. "Meditation is the very center of my whole effort. It is the very womb out of which you are going to be re-born. But it is very difficult to verbalize it. To say something about meditation is a contradiction in terms. It is something which you can have, which you can be, but by its very nature you cannot say what it is."

There was a time when hypnosis was a recognized door towards meditation. In the Middle Ages hypnosis was condemned alongside witchcraft. That condemnation still lingers on. Osho speaks here about hypnosis as a very helpful tool to enter into meditation.

It is a spirit lifter and energy booster, and the presence, as well as the absence of it, surely makes great difference.

As a former pastor, Richard Christenson has had the opportunity to address numerous congregations and men's ministry groups throughout the Northwestern United States, and his observations from these experiences are alarming.

The result is, local churches are becoming increasingly ingrown and are comprised of consumers and spectators.

This book is a pure inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I was preparing for a mother's day event we had in the ministry on Sunday 5/14/23 and as usual I didn't want it to be a drive-through event. I wanted God to make a lasting impact in the lives of these moms we intended to help with free diapers and wipes. So I was led to write a short prayer which they could use to prophesy destiny over their children. As I began to write, the Holy Spirit gave me more words and it kept flowing and flowing and I couldn't stop until I received the last sentence of this prayer handbook.
