Conversations with God

For one of the most striking and vivid insights into the politics of America today, I offer an extraordinary essay by Tim Wise now making the rounds on the Internet. Its author, Tim Wise, invites every one to share it with everyone else. I hope you will. Before reading it, you should know a bit…

Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the One True Church? Have we found a sure way to heaven at last? Or does it matter which way we take? Sunday School All Week continues today with a look at a wonderful, wonderful entry placed in the Comments Section last Friday by a person…

God functions in a very particular way — and I do not believe this way has ever been accurately described for us by traditional religions. The New Spirituality, on the other hand, offers us deep insight into the mechanism of Life — or what we might call the process of God. Conversations with God makes…

In your opinion, have our earthly theologies provided humanity with effective guidance on how to live together in peace and harmony? Here’s my opinion: No. In fact, far too often they have produced just the opposite result. Today 400 children die of starvation every hour. Every hour. Yet it would be possible to feed all…

We will continue our discussion of the function of God in our next blog, but for now, I believe it is important for me to respond to a posting in the Comments Section here from a person who apparently has a good reason not to use a name in connection with entries made here. That…

Today’s events with one-time financial giant Lehman Brothers declaring bankruptcy, together with last month’s government bailout of Fanny and Freddy, make it clear that the world is teetering at the edge of…
