What is wisdom?
James said in chapter one, verse five (NIV) , “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”
What exactly is wisdom? Most people in the Christian community define it as the written Word of God. To be more accurate, though, it could be the written Word of God or a word we hear God speak to our spirits. Continue reading “How Do I Obtain Wisdom?”

When God begins to makeover a marriage, He doesn’t line up the “reality-TV” producers and display our flaws and scars before a leering world. Quite the contrary. In order to transform your marriage into the joyful and intimate relationship that He intended it to be, He begins from the inside out, in a most private and personal way.

Scientists have long been baffled as to why some people live so much longer than others. Current estimates put the figure of total centenarians worldwide at about 488,000. Exact numbers may be difficult to determine, since many centenarians live in developing or outlying areas, where census data is not often available. However the numbers of centenarians in industrialized nations are still rather impressive. There are approximately 79,000 Americans who hold the distinction of being centenarians, a group now believed to be the fastest growing group of Americans. Some of them are well known because of their celebrity. Others are ordinary people who have lived extraordinarily long lives. Each of them is a page of history. According to the statistics, in Romania are almost 9,800 people who reached the age of 100 or more. Continue reading “Lifestyle of the Century: Will You Live to 100?”
“When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings” (Genesis 3:6-7). From the very beginning our eyes have caused us to stumble and fall. In fact the Fall of mankind was accomplished by Satan using Eve’s eyes to look upon something that God had forbidden. This was not a casual glance, an inadvertent look, but an intense, thoughtful staring. Just glancing at something that happens to come into our field of vision will not harm us. No doubt Eve had seen the fruit of the Forbidden Tree many times before, but it was not until Satan directed her eyes to study the fruit that she succumbed to sin. Satan is using the same tactic today to destroy and enslave the human race. Continue reading “Be Careful Little Eyes By Terry L. Brown”

Romanian Senators amended on Tuesday the Family Code applied at national level to clearly specify that the family is based entirely upon the marriage of a man and a woman and not upon the reunion of the partners, as stipulated before. The initiative pertains to a senator from the far-right Greater Romania Party (PRM) and was accepted by all members of the Judicial Commission in the Senate.
The amendment referred to the first article of the Family Code and leaves no room for interpretation. The text added refers that the union between a man and a woman respects the Biblical requirements.
The amendment will be approved in the Senate and then be sent to the Chamber of Deputies for approval.

?For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.?

How has song and music been used overtime to express Christian theology and faith?
Music and song are a God created means of expressing our deepest emotions, feelings, faith and praise before God. The people of God throughout all time, regardless of location, have always expressed their faith through music and song. As Gelineau writes, ?The Christian liturgy was born singing and it has never ceased to sing.?? Yet long before the birth of Christ song and music was regarded as one of the most fundamental constituents of worship and has continued through the history of the church. Song/music was seen as a rite in the same way as prayer and communion to the point that Augustine remarked, outside scriptural reading and bishop praying,
?..is there any time when the faithful assembled in church are not singing? Truly I see nothing better, more useful or more holy that they could do.? Continue reading “Music and theology”
