Forever Friends

Publisher By
1 Corinthians 15:53-55 (NLT) For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,   this Scripture will be fulfilled:  “Death is swallowed up in victory.   O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” I spent last evening in a youth service with grieving young people. The young girl killed in a horrible tragedy had touched many and her kindness rippled through the crowd as many shared of her character even at the tender age of 16. Their sobs racked my heart. Why God? The grief counselors from the local high school were there – all believers – they talked with some, embraced others tightly and prayed with those who requested it. I was moved by the Presence of God in the midst of such sorrow and heartache. Hugging her mother, I prayed peace and strength walking through this week into her new normal. I could

Udgaar To Rescue Indian Youth From The Clutches of Intoxication

Publisher By
By  Satyendra Pratap Singh India is a young country with over 60% of the population under the age of 30. if we use the youth power constructively India will again become a world leader and the most prosperous nation. But unfortunately, in the lack of proper guidance, people are wasting their time and energy in bad and unproductive things. A large section of Indian youth is misdirected towards intoxication by glamorous advertisements. In this way, they are losing their potential to do great things for themselves and the country. ISKCON has taken an initiative and offered a platform through Udgaar Program for young people to express themselves openly and boost their confidence and self-esteem. The goal of the anti-addiction campaign is to empower youth to realize their true potential and spread goodness in society. A country is mainly represented by its youth because they work to build a nation and take it to the path of success. The future of a country depends on its youth

Not Normal - Mass Shootings and the Emotional Devastation It Brings

Publisher By
By  Scott Marcus My purpose is to try and bring to you a glimmer of light in your day. As boldly evident, there is much darkness; and whether I write about habit change, attitude, communication, or attempt to crack wise; that objective remains my North Star. To stay true to course, I attempt to steer free of politics (although those who know me know that I have very strong opinions). Today, I cannot be silent; it would be morally wrong.  Moreover, honestly, I am also finding it near impossible to remain hopeful. That is not me. We are chewed up yet again by horrific, tragic, awful, terrible, unconscionable, outrageous stories of more mass shootings. This time, the names of the cities are El Paso and Dayton. (Gilroy, barely a week past, seems a distant memory.) I list only cities, as posting the victims' names would heartbreakingly take more column inches than allocated print space. I - and I imagine, you - feel like I have been rammed head-first through a meat grinder of

A Cuban Affair by Nelson DeMille

Publisher By
By  RJ McGill WOW! I can hardly believe it, I've been reading Nelson DeMille's books for almost 30 years. In all that time there's only been a few that flopped for me, I really liked all the rest. (Hey, I figure everyone is entitled to an oopsie every once in a while.) But A Cuban Affair is classic, smart-mouthed, DeMille at his finest. Mac, a Highly decorated veteran retires to sunny Key West, Florida to operate his charter fishing boat, ' The  M aine .' Mac wants as far away from the war as he can get. Problem is the scars people can't see haunt him more than the ones they can. Relaxing at the infamous Green Parrot Bar, he's approached by an attorney named Carlos who wants to charter The Maine for a trip to Cuba. With thoughts of his boat loan dancing in his head, he reluctantly agrees to meet the client, Eduardo who works with anti-Castro groups and a gorgeous, sassy Cuban-American lady named Sara, who he was instantly smitten with.

"Mah, korupsi itu apa sih?" tanya Kintan.      Mama agak bingung juga menjawab pertanyaan anaknya yang berumur delapan tahun duduk di kelas tiga SD. Kintan kelihatannya tidak serius dengan pertanyaannya tadi, malahan sekarang sedang asik main Boneka. Mamanya menonton TV kembali mengabaikan pertanyaan Kintan tadi "Jahat mana Korupsi dengan Maling?" Tanya Kintan lagi. Kali ini Boneka ditinggalin lalu mendekati pangkuan mamanya. "Mama enggak tau ya, jahat mana korupsi dengan maling?" rupanya dia bertanya serius ke mamanya dan biasanya kalau sudah begini harus ada jawabannya atau dia akan mengambek "Lebih jahat korupsi." jawab Mama. Kintan termangu dan menatap mata Mamanya sambil berpikir. "sama Ryan pembunuh itu, jahat mana?" tanya Kintan      Wah ini pasti Ryan pembunuh berantai yang dari Jombang itu.

Renungan Jadilah Orang Yang Berhikmat

Publisher By
Baca:  Amsal 9:1-18 “Permulaan hikmat adalah takut akan Tuhan, dan mengenal Yang Mahakudus adalah pengertian.” (Amsal 9:10) Ayat nas di atas menyatakan, setiap orang yang memiliki hati takut akan Tuhan akan mendapatkan hikmat. Jadi kunci memiliki hikmat adalah ketaatan kita melakukan perintah-perintah Tuhan. Pandangan orang dunia berbeda. Sebagian besar berpendapat bahwa orang yang memiliki hikmat adalah orang yang memiliki gelar tinggi atau telah menyelesaikan pendidikan sampai tingkat yang tertinggi, apalagi yang lulus dari luar negeri. Orang yang berpendidikan tinggi belum tentu memiliki hikmat, yang ia miliki adalah ilmu pengetahuan dan keahlian. Alkitab menegaskan bahwa hikmat itu sendiri hanya dapat diperoleh apabila kita takut akan Tuhan:  “Berbahagialah orang yang mendapat hikmat, orang yang memperoleh kepandaian, karena keuntungannya melebihi keuntungan perak, dan hasilnya melebihi emas.” (Amsal 3:13-14).  Hikmat yang dimaksud adalah wahyu dari Tuhan. Orang dunia tentunya t

Mengingat Kebaikan Tuhan

Publisher By
Baca: Mazmur 106:1-25 "Nenek moyang kami di Mesir tidak mengerti perbuatan-perbuatan-Mu yang ajaib, tidak ingat besarnya kasih setia-Mu, tetapi mereka memberontak Yang Mahatinggi di tepi Laut Teberau." (Mazmur 106:7) Seringkali sulit bagi kita melupakan pengalaman-pengalaman buruk yang terjadi dalam hidup ini. Ketika seseorang menyakiti kita, melukai kita, berlaku tidak adil terhadap kita, atau kita mengalami kegagalan begitu membekas dalam dan terlalu mudah untuk kita ingat-ingat kembali. Sebaliknya kebaikan seseorang, keberhasilan, kesembuhan dan hal-hal baik yang kita terima dari Tuhan justru mudah kita lupakan dan tidak kita ingat. Inilah yang dilakukan bangsa Israel yang selalu mengingat-ingat saat masih berada di Mesir walaupun di sana mereka hidup dalam perbudakan. Keluh mereka,  "Mengapakah Tuhan membawa kami ke negeri ini, supaya kami tewas oleh pedang, dan isteri serta anak-anak kami menjadi tawanan? Bukankah lebih baik kami pulang ke Mesir?" (Bilangan
