As a spiritual-futurist, I interpret current events in light of possible macro-universal forces at play leading up to 2012, but not limited to it.
It's football season once more and do you know what that means, other than cooler weather? It means that when you watch a college or professional football game, and they're getting ready to kick a field goal or extra point, that you'll see a familiar sign in the stands. It will read- JOHN 3:16! And probably more often than not, the person holding the sign is one of the most intolerant persons you'll ever meet!
God is love so is it so hard to fathom that God loves the world?
Consider your answer now. That means God loves you spouse, your defiant son, your gay daughter, your greedy boss, and your trash mouth talking neighbor who never mows his lawn. It's much worse though. God loves Hitler, Ahmadinejhad, Chavez, Jack the Ripper and all of the worst kinds of people that you'll get to meet in the next world- the real one!
Cuts against the grain doesn't it!
This very world, or parts of it that you've been calling hell or a hell-hole God loves! The world wherein you see so much EVIL, God loves. Maybe it's because we are seeing through a glass darkly. Maybe it's because we don't have the love or mind of Christ to see with God-consciousness. And then we must ask ourselves, do we really love God- I mean REALLY LOVE GOD! If we cannot love those that we see, how can we love Him-It which we cannot see?
It's the power of LOVE that heals! Jesus could heal because he was LOVE!
Walter Lanyon put it this way, "The power of love that is within every man is the power to transform appearances." Got it? Well, get it- the love of Christ. See the world as God does and there will no longer be any duality, two powers- just I AM!

The Stress Of Christmas
By: Michael A. Verdicchio | 31/12/2009In the mail, you receive a Christmas card from someone who was not on your list of cards that you sent. Oh, no! Now what do you do? It's too late. If you do send them a card they won't get it in time. This is but a small part of what I call, "the stress of Christmas."
