Religion is one of the most significant influences of most people’s lives. Even the people who do not really believe in any conventional religion, like the atheists, the agnostics, the relativists and humanists, are influenced by religion. This is because a vast majority of people do believe in some religion, some to a greater degree and some less. Since no individual is an island, it is obvious that every body would get influenced from religions, whether one believes in them or not. So developing an understanding of various religions is quite important.
When one considers the various religions, there are probably several thousands of them, but only a few are followed by a majority of the world’s population. These religions are referred to as the major religions of the world. They are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. Of these major religions, Christianity has by far the largest number of followers. So it is desirable to have a fair understanding of Christianity.
So what is Christianity ? The common answer would be, it is a religion. But this answer is not exactly correct. It limits the power of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity is more about developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only when one approaches Christianity in this manner that one can fully appreciate what being a true Christian means. When one believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ, he or she would try earnestly to develop a relationship with Him. This would lead him beyond other religious people who are more enthusiastic about observing customs and rituals. They may be full of knowledge and great debaters but are spiritually dead.
Christianity is not simply a set of rituals and customs. It is about surrendering to Jesus Christ. People all over the world, whether religious or not, are plagued with doubts and questions. This happens when they treat Christianity as a religion, rather than as a relationship. When they view it as a relationship and work on building it, they would lift their consciousness. The central point of Christianity is knowing God, knowing Him personally. When one achieves that one is able to transcend the sufferings of daily existence. Once you have had the experience of God, you will experience a tremendous and positive transformation. Just like Saul did - he was a murderer who turned into a mighty man of God with just one vision of Christ.

Why you are a worker?
By: olu mike omoasegun | 08/12/2009As workers in the vineyard of the Lord, we should pause, and ask ourselves this important question: Why am I a worker? Failure to do this has led many to handle the service and work of God with carelessness, non-chalet and carefree attitudes. Many are what they like, the way they like and at the time they like, simply because they don’t know why they are workers. Others are non-committal and ineffective because they have the wrong notion of why they are workers in His vineyard.

Overwhelmed By Numbers
By: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg | 07/12/2009I was overwhelmed with all the posts on Shalom Aleichem that I received in response to my invitation.

The Tree of Life: A Cure For Bittered Waters
By: Stephen Stillman | 06/12/2009We are familiar with the story of Moses leading the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. One of their most critical times during this journey was when they were suffering from an almost intolerable thirst. How their hearts beat with joy when they came to Marah and saw water! Just as quickly as their hearts become joyful, despair came again because the waters were too bitter to drink. All of us sooner or later in life come to Marah where we find bitter waters in the cup of human experience.
