Well I have conducted so may weddings in my life time I thought you might like to see some of my Thinking....
Purpose, Destiny, Responsibility
1) The document discusses living a purposeful life focused on glorifying God through spreading his word, showing benevolence, and living purely.
2) It emphasizes living with the destiny of heaven in mind, as faithful Christians long to live with God in heaven rather than viewing this world as their home.
3) It stresses the responsibility of living out one's faith through serving God and others, not just talking about doing great things for God's kingdom but actively working for the lost and being involved in each other's lives.
God In My Life
God wants to have a personal relationship with humans and be in contact with them. He created the world and everything in it for humans to enjoy, but they must have peace in their hearts. It is important for everyone to get closer to God by speaking with him every day as they would a friend, and recognizing how he shows his love through the gifts he provides like children, food, and shelter. The Bible teaches that God so loved the world that he gave his son Jesus so that all who believe in him may have eternal life.
God’s Sufficiency Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
We can trust God to be our sufficiency. He is able and willing to supply for us both now and in the future. He is well equipped to do this because His ability to supply is unlimited. God has always taken care of those who trust in Him, and He will remain faithful to this commitment, regardless of any conditions in the senses realm.
The Joy of Fellowship with God
It is available for born-again believers to have fellowship with God! The deeper we get into the Word and the deeper the Word gets into us, the richer and fuller our fellowship with God becomes. As we maintain sweet fellowship with God, our lives are filled with joy.
The Two Types of Believing
Success and failure are both determined by what a person believes to receive. As we practice positive believing—believing the positive words of God’s Word—we will receive the positive results that God desires for each of us.
Lt Floating Farm
The document summarizes a Bible study lesson about Noah's floating farm after the flood and God's everlasting promise to Noah. It discusses Noah tending to farm animals on the ark for over a year, then continuing to farm on land after the flood waters receded. God makes a covenant with Noah and his descendants, promising never to destroy the earth again with a flood. God sets the rainbow as a sign of this promise. The study questions ask about details of Noah leaving the ark and God's conditions in the covenant according to Genesis chapters 8 and 9.
A Full and Abundant Life
The author recounts how as a young person she was inspired to serve God through The Way Corps ministry. She was unsure how this commitment would allow her to also have a family. Scripture in 1 Kings reassured her that by keeping God first, her needs would be met and life would be abundant. Over 35 years of service, she found this proven true through spiritual growth, developing her teaching, having a family, and financial blessings through businesses. Her life has been full serving God as promised.

God Has A Plan 4 Old Testament
The document discusses the concept of covenant in Christianity. It explains that a covenant is an agreement or contract that establishes a relationship through binding promises and consequences. It outlines the key elements of covenants, including parties, conditions, promises/blessings, and penalties/curses. It then examines several specific covenants between God and humanity, such as the covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses.
God Is Our Heavenly Father
1) As born-again believers, we have access to God as our heavenly Father through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2) When we accept Jesus as our savior, we are born again and can communicate with God through prayer.
3) The document encourages believers to take advantage of their access to God and approach him with confidence, as a loving Father, in both times of need and in daily life.
Our Right to Speak the Word
When we exercise our right to hold forth God’s Word with believing, we can bring deliverance to others and benefits to our own lives.
Joshua 9b
The Israelites made a treaty with the Gibeonites without seeking God's counsel. This allowed enemies of God to live among the Israelites. As a result, the Gibeonites were cursed to serve the Israelites by hewing wood and drawing water. However, over time God showed grace and the Gibeonites' curse became a blessing as they helped the Israelites. We should learn from this that we must seek God in all things, but also that God can bring good from our mistakes through His grace.
Proverbs forpartners 1
This document contains proverbs and principles for effective marriage relationships from the Bible. It emphasizes that God must be the foundation of a marriage and come before anything else.

The document provides biblical support and practical guidance for becoming and staying physically fit as an act of worship, including exercising regularly and finding accountability. The ultimate purpose is to love God with our whole strength so we can be living sacrifices.
Why Tithe and Why Abundantly Share?
Tithing with a heart of love is a practical way in which we honor God, work with Him as our partner, and receive the prosperity that He desires for our lives. Tithing has never been improved upon except by increasing the proportion, and that is abundant sharing.
God @ the Movies: Courageous
The document discusses the concept of legacy and highlights themes from the movie "Courageous". It explores how the characters in the movie lived courageously and wanted to be remembered. Building a godly legacy involves shaping one's children, doing good works, being good stewards, and building God's eternal kingdom. The ultimate legacy is how one is remembered by God.
The Living God
Our God is not lifeless like an idol, but a living God. He is real, He hears us, and He responds with powerful deliverance when we claim His promises to us. We can see examples of this from God’s Word, and God will do no less for us today as we trust in Him.
A Parent’s Authority in Child Raising
God gave the authority for raising children to the parents, and God will provide what is needed. The whole family will enjoy benefits as parents decide to take responsibility and exercise their authority in raising children God’s way.
Tlc pledge campaign draft
Trinity Lutheran Church has been running deficits for the past three years, depleting their savings. Their weekly attendance is around 160 people but they have two pastors. To address the ongoing financial shortfall, they will need to either increase donations through pledge campaigns to "sow more seeds and grow", or reduce staffing costs. The document calls on the congregation to unite in prayer and action to meet this challenge through increasing pledges from some members and encouraging participation and donations from all members.
SIM LM 20 Feb (BGR)
The document summarizes the key points from a SIM LIFE meeting discussion on biblical guidelines for relationships (BGR). Yvonne led the discussion on what the Bible says about dating based on Romans 12:9-10. The discussion covered topics like defining true love by the gospel, marriage displaying Christ's love for the church, discerning the right partner based on being equally yoked with God, and showing brotherly affection honorably within the Christian community. Practical advice was to maximize singleness for God and wait to pursue a relationship until ready for marriage.
Jesus Christ: Our Mediator
Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and men. Jesus Christ made it possible for man to be reconciled (no longer separated!) with God. We never have to feel separated from God—Jesus Christ made it possible for all who believe to be at one with God.
The truth about giving ix
This document discusses biblical principles of giving, including that giving is frequently discussed in the Bible, giving makes people happier, and giving is essential to salvation. It argues that a Christian who claims to love God but does not give scripturally does not truly love God, since God showed his love for humanity through giving his son. The document encourages giving willingly and generously as a demonstration of love for God.
Approaches to the mission pt IIb
This document contains mission statements from various organizations as well as biblical principles for sharing one's faith. Ryan's Lawn and Care aims to create beautiful environments while helping people. Hobby Lobby's board is committed to honoring God and offering value to customers. Additional statements discuss cultivating friendships with others, caring about what they say, and confronting issues without coercion when sharing one's faith. Jesus addressed people's core problems candidly and considered their questions seriously while allowing them to choose whether to believe.
Our Legal Rights in Christ to God’s Blessings
We have a great, big, wonderful God Who wants to bless all of mankind, as evidenced by immutable laws He set in creation governing financial freedom and prosperity. Those born again of God’s spirit have the legal right to claim His blessings in Christ. When we know from God’s Word our legal rights in Christ and walk out on them, we can live the abundant life and be powerful witnesses for the true God.
Meaning and understanding of covenant 2010
The document discusses various covenants found in Jewish scripture, including:
- The covenant God made with Adam in the Garden of Eden, instructing him not to eat from the tree of knowledge. Breaking this covenant resulted in consequences.

- The seven laws that God gave to Noah as part of this covenant, known as the Noahide Code, which non-Jews must follow to serve God. These laws are detailed in the Talmud.
True Reformation
Two legacies of the Reformation that benefit our lives today are (1) the availability of the Bible in the language of the people, and (2) the teaching of the authority of the Bible.
Litany of farewell -EfM Online Training 11-10
This document is a litany prayer bidding farewell as a group departs. It gives thanks to God for the time spent together, asks for mercy for past grievances or wounds, and prays for God's presence as the group continues their journeys and ministries separately going forward. The prayer ends with inviting individual prayers and asking God to keep the group close through the communion of saints.
We Choose to Renew!
Each day and each moment of the day we can renew our mind by putting God’s Word in our mind and acting accordingly. When we do this, we can bring God’s power into manifestation in our lives. We choose to renew!
Commitment Or Promise
The document discusses the difference between making promises and making commitments. It argues that commitments are better because they require loyalty, keeping one's word, and achieving what one committed to do, whereas people often make promises they do not keep. The document encourages making commitments to God rather than promises, and committing one's whole self to spiritual growth, the local church community, and sharing the gospel with others.
Making 2008 Great
If - as Christians - we are wanting to make this a better year we need to have a heart and lifestyle as bond-servants. This goes against our self-serving ways but is essential if we are going to have blessed families, a spiritually filled congregation of believers, or an evangelistic effort unlike previous years.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
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.

taittreya upanishad - tradition of yoga and Upanishads, this concept of panch...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
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.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
