Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us. – Martin Luther If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music….

Spirit Guides and Channeled Material
In this post, I would like to share some information on spirit guides and channeled material (psychic readings, automatic or “divine” writing, etc…). As usual, I have had a difficult time trying to determine just how far down the “spiritual” rabbit hole I should go, so this post will actually be more of a compilation…
The Dark Side of Meditation (What no one wants to talk about…)
I am finding that speaking negatively about meditation or yoga brings about a surprising amount of attack and vitriol…even from Christians. The fervor with which these practices are defended have led me to believe that the effects of meditation and yoga reach far beyond just “relaxation” and “exercise.” Could it be possible that there might…
Misunderstood Scripture in New Age/New Thought and Word of Faith
This is an EXCELLENT conversation on how New Age/New Thought/Law of Attraction and Word of Faith support their beliefs using Scripture out of context (this is not an exhaustive list)…and what those same passages mean IN CONTEXT. You may recognize many, if not all, of these verses. Have you ever used any of these verses…
New Age or Christianity? Defining Our Terms
When trying to determine if something is Christianity or New Age, we need to understand what certain words and phrases mean. I’ve noticed that Satan likes to play with language to cause confusion and frustration (we see it in the news, everyday). As Christians, we are taught to disregard Satan’s lies and focus on the…

Women (some as young as fourteen) from Korea, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Netherlands and East Timor…
Walking in Tandem
*This is something that I wrote seven years ago. I thought it was completely lost due to my last blog site abruptly shutting down, without warning. Thanks to Facebook Memories, I was able to copy what I shared in 2011…and present it, here. What a precious thing the Lord did, this morning, by bringing this…
Pure Joy (when you face trials of many kinds)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds… James 1:2 Say what, now? Pure joy? Trials of many kinds?! I used to hope this was a typo. I have to admit, I used to struggle with reading that I was supposed to consider it a joy to face…
Stand Firm
Yesterday, I talked about the temptation of Jesus and how the enemy attacks. Using the same Scripture, I would like to talk a bit about authority. Knowing who we are in Christ helps us to understand the authority we have, so that we can withstand any attack from Satan. Then Jesus was led by the…
This Is My Son
As I read through God’s Word, I love getting glimpses of the relationship between God the Father and God the Son. As I was learning more and more about who I am in Christ, God showed me something about the identity of His Son. He took me to the baptism of Jesus: Then Jesus came…
