11/23/2025   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “ Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. ”   This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving, a wonderful holiday celebrating the blessings we have received from our Creator.  Thanksgiving is not only a holiday, but a spiritual discipline. The Bible calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” But what does that really mean? How can we truly give thanks when life is diff

11/16/2025   Proverbs 4:23: “ Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it .”   We are spiritual beings, living in a spiritual universe, having a human experience. We are children of God, indwelling these human forms, living not only by the physical laws of the universe, but the spiritual laws, as well. If we want to know something about the physical universe, the sciences do a good job of telling us what we need to know. They do not have all the secr

11/9/2025   Galatians 5:22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control .”   Last week I mentioned a law of God known as the Law of Vibration. Everything vibrates. Even our emotions have various energies – good vibes and bad vibes – as they are called.   Psychiatrist and spiritual teacher, Dr. David R. Hawkins, created a map of Consciousness, a scale ranging from low-energy states to the highe

11/02/2025 Transcription: Good morning. As you can probably see, I'm not Patrick Jolly. But in his absence, I usually get tagged to try to give you my point of view. on my connection with my higher power. And today I have been giving that thought to myself and to my higher power, asking me to be as clear and as precise as I can be. And to put my nervousness in my body.     When Patrick first asked me to give this talk, like always, I looked for many things to talk about. I ev

10/26/2025 Deuteronomy 10:12-13 “ Now, people of Israel, listen to what the Lord your God demands of you: Worship the Lord and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart, and obey all his laws .”   We are looking at some of God’s universal laws. Various authors have determined different numbers of God’s laws. There have been 12 laws, one author offers 23 laws, and still another author gives us 52 immutable laws of God.    As I frequently teach, we are ma

10/19/2025   Jeremiah 31:33 “This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”   We are looking at the laws of God. According to Scripture and theological interpretation, the laws written on our hearts are not a new set of external commandments, but the internalized moral and spiritual principles of God’s

10/12/2025   Matthew 22:37-40: “ Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets .’”   I am constantly speaking about love. Love is truly all that matters. The Beatles got it right when they wrote, “All We Need Is Love.” Love is the great
