The Sacred Heart of Jesus represents God's divine love for humanity. It is often depicted as a flaming heart with a crown of thorns and the wound from Jesus' death. The devotion originated from the visions of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century. Through this devotion, Jesus requested things like consecrating oneself, frequent communion, and eucharistic adoration. In return, he promised blessings, mercy, and peace. The feast of the Sacred Heart falls 19 days after Pentecost.

Easter A Spiritist View
This document discusses the origins and meanings of Easter from different perspectives. It notes that Easter celebrations have roots in pagan spring equinox festivals, Jewish Passover traditions, and later Christian traditions focused on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. From a Spiritist view, Easter is not about rituals or dogmas, but can be a time for reflection on Jesus' teachings of morality when he reincarnated on Earth. Spiritism sees Easter as a spiritual transformation towards developing perfection by leaving behind vices and selfishness.

The Baptist Visitor, 07-11-2017
This document provides information from the weekly newsletter of the First Southern Baptist Church of North Hollywood. It announces upcoming events at the church including a potluck, music evening, and guest preacher. It also shares news about the birth of a new baby, a memorial service, and upcoming business meeting. The business meeting will discuss a proposal to rent space in the church's education building to a day care center to supplement income, as current giving levels have fallen below the weekly budget. Attendance and offering numbers from recent services are provided. The remainder of the document consists of an article on developing a "Godward point of view" and using "what if" thinking instead of "if only" to bring about revival.
Christmas
The document criticizes Christmas traditions and celebrations as being derived from pagan practices rather than Christian origins. It argues that the Christmas spirit is devil-inspired, that giving gifts at Christmas should be avoided since it is prompted by the devil rather than God, and that Christmas trees are a heathen custom according to the Bible. The document also claims that the Bible provides no evidence for Jesus's birth being celebrated on December 25th and that the date was adopted from pagan winter solstice festivals. It concludes by urging Christians to avoid celebrating Christmas or teaching children about Santa Claus.

Sacramentals of the catholic church
Sacramentals are sacred signs instituted by the Catholic Church to prepare people to receive grace from the sacraments and to sanctify circumstances of life. They include items like holy water, crucifixes, rosaries, and images of saints. While sacramentals cannot impart grace themselves, they serve as reminders of God and his works. Using sacramentals properly stems from a desire to be close to God, rather than a belief that they impart magical powers. They can enrich one's faith by interacting with the senses and reminding Catholics of spiritual realities in daily life.
Brotherly Kindness
This document contains notes from a lesson on brotherly kindness taught at the Central Union Church of Christ in Killeen, Texas. The lesson discusses what brotherly kindness means, its purpose of building others up, how it relates to love, examples of God's kindness toward humanity, and how brotherly kindness can be shown through meeting others' needs and forgiving them. It encourages developing unconditional love for fellow believers and striving to be more like God in showing kindness to all. Group discussion questions prompt reflection on specific scriptures about kindness and how to express gratitude to God for His kindness.
Feast of the Sacred Heart
The document discusses the Feast of the Sacred Heart, which commemorates God's love for humanity as revealed through the heart of Jesus. It describes how Jesus showed sacrificial love through suffering, constancy in his mission, and forgiveness even towards his torturers. The Sacred Heart represents God's faithful, forgiving love in the face of human violence and persecution. It reminds Christians that through belief in God, they can learn to respond with love and forgiveness as Jesus did.
When the Rooster Crows
Easter matters because it proves Jesus's identity and humanity's need for a savior. The passage describes Peter denying knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crows, as Jesus had predicted. Peter wept bitterly after realizing he had betrayed Jesus, demonstrating the human fallibility that Easter and Jesus's resurrection overcome.
The Theology of Marriage - Adrienne Yates
The document discusses the theology of marriage from both a foundational and symbolic level. At the foundational level, marriage is a covenant between a man and woman that reveals God's love for one another. Symbolically, marriage represents the relationship between Christ and the Church. When a couple exchanges vows and rings at their wedding, they are committing to a lifelong partnership of faithful and fruitful love as ordained by God. This sacrament of marriage establishes the couple as a domestic church who are called to witness Christ's presence through their selfless love for each other and their community.
Our heart to god’s heart
This document discusses the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It begins by noting the devotion has existed since the Church's founding but was only formally honored in the 17th century when Jesus appeared to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. Jesus asked for a feast day in honor of His Sacred Heart and means of showing devotion including frequent communion, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, sanctifying the first Friday of each month, and venerating images of His Heart. The document outlines nine offices/thorns of Jesus' Heart and ways individuals can offer conversion, daily lives in offering to God, and reparation. It encourages dedicating to the spirituality of Christ's Heart.

A Posture of Defiance
The document discusses Paul advocating for a "posture of defiance" against legalism based on the book of Galatians.

The Church on Offense (pt. 2)
The document discusses strategies for churches to go on the offensive. It recommends that churches remember predictions about the future, re-center on the gospel message, and reach out to fringe groups like doubters and degraders. When reaching out to the fringes, churches should take care not to compromise their message or get burned themselves.

Practical Religion Chap 7 Charity
The document examines the biblical concept of love or charity. It discusses four main points: 1) how the Bible emphasizes charity as important for salvation. 2) What biblical charity really is - it is not merely giving to others or avoiding disapproval, but loving God and others through actions. 3) Charity comes from having one's heart renewed by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin and gratitude to Christ. 4) Charity is the greatest grace because it makes believers most like God, is most useful to others, and will endure eternally when faith and hope pass away. The document encourages practicing and teaching biblical charity.

Baptism Eastern Orthodox Turn in
This paper examines the Eastern Orthodox view of baptism by looking at the meaning, process, subjects, and ritual of baptism from an Orthodox perspective and comparing it to Baptist views. For Orthodox Christians, baptism means participation in worship and inclusion into the church body. It inducts one not just physically but into worship. Baptism incorporates the individual into God's kingdom. Infant baptism is practiced, tracing its roots to Jewish circumcision rites. The baptismal ritual includes chrismation, an anointing seen as inseparable from baptism that seals the recipient with the Holy Spirit. Baptist views differ in emphasizing baptism as a symbol of personal faith and restricting it to confessing believers, usually adults

Good News February 2019
This document provides information about upcoming events at the First United Methodist Church of North Hollywood in February 2019. It includes a summary of recent worship services, a message from the pastor about living according to God's love, highlights of upcoming events like Scout Sunday and a game night, and volunteer opportunities to support the local food pantry and homeless alliance. The pastor challenges the congregation to seek God's more excellent way of love in their community.
Final Project Submitted
This document discusses the history and vision of the cell church model. It begins by describing Pastor David Yongii Cho's experience of burnout in 1964 which led him to rediscover the church model seen in Acts, with an emphasis on small group communities meeting in homes in addition to larger corporate worship. This small group model was implemented in Cho's church in Korea and resulted in explosive growth to over 250,000 members, becoming the largest Protestant church. The cell church vision sees these small groups as integral communities that together form the body of Christ, with Christ's presence among them. While the model achieved great success internationally, it met with challenges when imported to the US due to cultural and structural differences.

Gospel in the Face of Religion
The document contrasts religion and the gospel. It states that religion divides people into righteous and sinners, while the gospel does not make such distinctions. Religion is motivated by trying to gain God's favor through actions, whereas the gospel's motivation comes from reacting to God's favor with humility. Religion can darken the heart, while the gospel flows from a changed heart.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
