Angels, Demons & the spirit world

http://www.kayongblogger.com/download/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/angels-and-demons-movie-with-tom-hanks-298x300.jpg

The recent release of the movie "Angels and Demons"
featuring Tom Hanks has again sparked an interest in
the possibility of an invisible world.

In a recent survey, "40% of those interviewed strongly
agreed that satan is not is not a living being but is
a symbol of evil.” 19% said they “agree somewhat” with
that perspective. A minority indicated that they believe
Satan is real by disagreeing with the statement: one-quarter
26% disagreed strongly and about one-tenth (9%) disagreed
somewhat. The remaining 8% were not sure what they believe
about the existence of Satan."

Do you believe that satan exists? Have you went to see the
movie "Angels and Demons"? If so, what did you think about
it? Any other comments about the spirit world?

Got Twitter?

Do you have Twitter yet? It will allow you to communicate with others in a different way than email, blogs, and even the traditional website. After wrestling with the idea for a couple of months I finally gave in and set up an account. It is actually a great thing!!!

The element that makes Twitter really nice is the fact that you can connect it with your FaceBook account and many other applications as well. In addition, you can send messages to Twitter directly from your phone, TwitPic your photos, and even connect Twitter to your google calendar.

Now that you have all that information concerning Twitter, make the move so that you can converse more efficiently. What are you waiting for?

http://www.stressreliefsolution.com/images/White%20male%20on%20treadmill.jpg

O.K., you didn't get an early start on getting shape, but it's
definitely not too late! Today marks the very first day of
summer and there are something that you can do to get in
shape and become the healthy you, you've always wanted
to be.

It is actually God's will that we exemplify health in each and
every area of our lives (spirit, soul, and body). 3 John 1:2 NLT
says, "Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you
are
as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." Remember,
your body is the vehicle that drives your purpose in live. Without a
healthy body, fulfilling God's ultimate purpose for our lives will
be a challenge if not an impossibility.

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. It's time to feel
your best, look your best, and be your best. Here are 10 inexpensive
ways to get and stay in shape.
  1. Instead of driving, ride a bicycle whenever possible.
  2. Limit eating out, and purposely prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  3. Take a morning or evening walk with a person(s) that have the same goals
  4. Drink more water
  5. Eat less later in the day
  6. Instead of taking the elevator take the stairs
  7. Rent an exercise video from the library and workout at home
  8. Locate introductory discount coupons or invitation periods at the gym
  9. Journal your daily exercise and eating to stay on track
  10. Break up your meals into 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day
What are your goals for weight loss? Have you already
began to utilize any of these pin-points? Share your ideas
about how being in shape corresponds with the Christian life?

In Love... or Fresh Out of Love?

http://www.bible.ca/marriage/couple-fighting10.jpg


Yesterday, the news program I was watching reached a commercial, and as I began to flip through a few channels, one of the courtroom shows caught my attention. The episode that I tuned into was a divorce case between a husband and a wife that had been married for just under a year. The reason for filing for divorce was "We just weren't meant."

In new statistics just released, "One out of three Americans have been divorced at least once." George Barna, who directed the study, noted that Americans have grown comfortable with divorce as a natural part of life. We must ask ourselves the question: has this contentment always been a part of our society? It's almost impossible to partake of some type of media these days and not hear of a relationship on the rocks or a marriage that has ended in shambles.

"There no longer seems to be much of a stigma attached to divorce; it is now seen as an unavoidable rite of passage....Interviews with young adults suggest that they want their initial marriage to last, but are not particularly optimistic about that possibility. There is also evidence that many young people are moving toward embracing the idea of serial marriage, in which a person gets married two or three times, seeking a different partner for each phase of their adult life."

So, where do we go from here? What are your views on divorce?
  • What effects do divorces have on society?
  • Is it biblical to divorce? If so, on what grounds?
  • Do you believe in soul mates?
  • A divorce can be quite devastating. Is there life after divorce?
