Conflict Of Faith His name is Asher Lev. He has a gift, a great gift. But where does his gift come from? Asher Lev is Chaim Potok's Hasidic Jewish prodigy from Brooklyn, the boy with a magnificent gift for painting what he feels and what he sees, the hero of the moving story My Name Is Asher Lev. Hasidic Jews do not paint pictures. They study Torah, they live Torah, the live for the One whom no one can see, and whose face no one can paint. Asher Lev's father lives for the…

Our Daily Devotional: CRY OUT When we call out to the Lord he hears us! When we face difficult circumstances we can become frantic, looking all around for a way to change our situation. The Psalms remind us that when we need help there is one place we can always go to find comfort- the Lord! Cry out to God, telling him about all of your stressors, your fears, your unknowns to the Lord and he will reply! Let's have a coffee Hari Blessings...

Conflict Of Needs FRANCES: I'm leaving you, Arthur. The only way I can survive is to get away from you. ARTHUR: How can you simply run away? What about the vows you made to me? Doesn't your commitment mean anything to you? FRANCES: Yes, Arthur, I've kept that commitment for twenty-two years. Now I need to keep another commitment. ARTHUR: What commitment? How could you have another commitment? FRANCES: I need to keep a commitment to myself, Arthur, can you understand that? To…

Our Daily Bread: Lead me in the Right Path Psalms 5:1-12 [1]O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. [2]Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. [3]Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. [4]O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. [5]Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.…

When Someone Breaks Our Trust Saints may never let us down. But how often do we commit ourselves to saints? Most of us commit ourselves to ordinary people and, sooner or later, discover that ordinary people let us down. Even decent people hurt each other. Sometimes they hurt each other deeply, and unfairly too. There are pains inside any committed relationship for which there is only one remedy: forgiveness. There are also pains for which forgiveness is not the right remedy.…

Our Daily Bread: For my Bones are in Agony Psalms 6:1-10 [1]O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage. [2]Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. [3]I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me? [4]Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love. [5]For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave? [6]I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my…

If We Forgive, Should We Go Back? The first person to benefit from forgiving is always the person who forgives. We purge our heart of the poison someone meanly put there. We lift ourselves from the bilge of hate and dance to the melody of inner healing. We set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was us. We create a new beginning for ourselves by unlocking the shackles that otherwise would hold us tight inside a painful past. Forgiving is for the offended, first.…

Forgiving Our Children Let's put the forgiveness factor in a different setting now, and see what happens when a parent keeps a commitment by forgiving a child In a literal sense a committed parent cannot stop being a parent. A father cannot unfather himself. A mother unmother herself. Parent and child are forever parent and child. And yet sometimes parents need to perform the healing act of forgiving in order to keep their commitment to be a blessing to their children. For a…

Our Daily Devotional REST The God who stretched out the heavens and crafted every endlessly creative detail of the Earth still rested. Rest is a holy practice that our get-up-and-go culture often neglects. How can we be people that are filled with the fruits of the spirit if we are stretched thin and plain tired out? Prioritize rest in your routine. Rest is holy and necessary to be people of salt and light. Let's have a coffee Hari Blessings

Forgiving Our Friends Forgiving can be hazardous to friendship. Forgive friends too quickly, too often, and you become a nag. And no one wants a nag for friend. Friendship survives on a diet of accommodation, of being generous about faults. Magnanimity again; show me a person big-minded enough not to require good friends to be perfect people and I will show you a friend who can keep a commitment to friendship. There is such thing as expecting too much from friends. Not every…

Our Daily Devotional: Fight for it God calls us to be active participants in our futures. If we want to see His best for our lives, we’ve got to fight for it! Just because you face discomfort, doesn’t mean it’s not in God’s best plan for your life. Sometimes our best and biggest steps of faith are the hardest. Be assured those bold moves of faith are apart of God’s best for you! Let's have a Coffee Hari Blessings...

When What We Need Most Is Hope Every commitment we make is an act of hope. We make commitments because we hope that can keep them. We keep them as long as we have hope that keeping them will bring good to both the persons we are committed to and to ourselves. Hope is to commitment what gasoline is to the piston engine, and we can run out of both too soon. We can turn our solvable problems into incurable catastrophes before their time. Every counselor I know tells me that…

Is God Committed? Ultimately, the question of hope gets us to the question of God, and of whether he is committed to us. Will God be there for us? Does he personally care enough to keep a commitment to people who wonder what the odds of making it are? No matter what our faith or doubt or disbelief may be, the ultimate question is whether God is committed to us. The interest of the question whether God is really up there cools down quickly if I cannot believe he is committed…

There is Life After Commitment When someone breaks an important commitment to us, we die, part of us dies anyway, a large part sometimes. The goodnews is that there is life after the death of a commitment. I don't mean to be facile about it, though. Living through the letdown that follows when someone tears up our life's commitment is a horror. To experience it is to die a minor death. A minor death is the loss of of one precious segment of our life, one that went a long way…

Genesis 21:1-4 "Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. When his son…

Taking Charge Of Our Future We possess two powers to create a future worth living in. One of them is the power to forgive. The other is the power to make and keep commitments. We can use them both to secure a future for our most precious relationships. The power to forgive frees us from past pains that we cannot accept and cannot forget. When we forgive, we ignore the normal laws that strap us to our painful pasts. We fly over a dues-paying morality in order to create a new…

Think About Man! Part 1 Maleness has been depicted as brute, rugged independence and strength to handle any situation that comes along. Emotion, gentleness, and sensitivity to the needs of others have not been emphasized as essential for manly character. Masculinity is portrayed as physical courage, toughness, competitiveness, and progressiveness. A man is expected not to express his sorrow by shedding tears and often suppresses his tensions; this tends to shorten his life.…

Think About Man! Part 2 The Aggressive Nature of Males Man has the need to command, to perform, to take the lead, and to show strength because of the nature of his manhood. He feels the need of mastery in relation to a woman and may manifest this need in the area of intellectual superiority or sexual aggressiveness. A young woman who recently divorced her husband after seven years if marriage states that one of the areas of serious tension between them developed because of…

Think About Man! Part 3 Roles of Men Societies usually assign roles to males and females. In most cultures, girls are trained from childhood to help with household responsibilities while boys are involved in tasks outside the home. In the past, men engaged in the activities of providing food and shelter for the family. These roles corresponded with their physical and masculine traits. As civilization moved towards industrialization, men sought employment to earn salaries for…

Physical Relations: Adjustment God created sex when He designed the bodies of Adam and Eve. Men's sex qualities are describes as masculinity and women's as femininity. Feminine qualities usually attract men. Although love includes more than physical attraction, physical affection is a basic ingredient of real love and successful marriage. Man was designed for woman and woman for man.; they are incomplete without one another. Man yearns for those feminine qualities, both…

Physical Harmony Since the woman responds more slowly, the physical relationship must be preceded by love-play and tender affection to lead her to the same level of readiness that he experiences almost immediately. The wife should be open to sharing with her husband what is pleasing to her rather than expecting him to understand her responses intuitively. Unfortunately, the husband has never been able to experience the feminine response nor the wife the masculine response;…

Adjustments On the wedding night, the groom should remember that his bride may have strong reservations about the sexual relationship. She may have received the impression from her mother that sex is to be endured and is a necessary evil of marriage. Or she may fear pain or experience anxiety as she enters into this new experience. Some of the problems are resolved if both husband and wife have received adequate marriage counseling before the ceremony. It is unrealistic to…

The Filipiknow Love For God "For as long as man can remember, the Philippines has been a land where the lifeways are interwoven with the concept of God, be he worshipped in the form of a bulol (a crude wooden image of a granary god in the Mountain Province) or carved image of Christ"(Elwood and Magdamo, 1971,p.17). These were the opening words of the exhibition, " Four Hundred Years of Christian Culture" in Cebu City, in 1965. The exhibit highlighted the religiosity of the…
