Today, I woke up to the gift of this day

This morning meditation is a call to action for you to choose and reinforce your excellent and healthy intention and purpose for the day. It's a proactive step to take before the inertia of the day sets in and derails your plans. Our days are often hijacked by distractions and demands, causing us to lose sight of our true selves and our desired path. But with a little persistent attention, we can turn even the most ordinary days into something extraordinary. Let's make today, and every day, an extraordinary day!

Canticle of Brother Sun, by St Francis of Assisi

This is a modern, versified version of the original text by St Francis of Assisi, written in medieval Italian 800 years ago, in 1225. As a great mystic, St Francis calls all of nature to praise God: the sun, the moon, the wind, the fire, the water, the stars and the earth are our brothers and sisters, praising God with their natural virtues. I closely followed the English translation published ...

Psalm 27, Prayer of the Aborted Baby

Просмотров 645 месяцев назад

Psalm 27 from the Bible was written over three thousand years ago by King David, "the sweet singer of Israel". It is a profound prayer of praise to God and a plea for protection and comfort in the most troubled and challenging of times. David contemplates the most outrageous and cruel destiny he can imagine: that of a child deliberately abandoned by his parents. "Even if my father and mother ab...

Why celebrate Christmas? by Nicky Gumbel

Просмотров 1610 месяцев назад

Every year, Christmas is the greatest celebration around the globe. No other event makes us get together as families and friends like Christmas. And yet, Christmas is also the worst time of the year for millions of lonely, hurting people. Commandeered by businesses and restaurants, Christmas celebrations often obscure Christ, whose birth is the original and best reason to celebrate Christmas. F...

If Hamas Wins, We All Lose

Просмотров 6211 месяцев назад

Reducing the conflict in Gaza to a question of Palestinian-Israeli differences is an unforgivable mistake. The conflict that has been raging in Gaza for decades is the conflict between Islam and world civilisation, that is, between Islam and you and me, and each and every one of us who are not yet under Islam: not only Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Newagers and Hindus. Also homosexuals, transsex...

The daydreams of atheism

Просмотров 139Год назад

My atheist friends love to cite Immanuel Kant, David Hume and Voltaire as leading thinkers who opened new horizons for humanity, freeing it from the religious prejudices that had enslaved it for centuries. But things were very different, and the writings of these three influential thinkers provided a framework that supported the slavery and exploitation of non-European races more than anyone el...

What Jesus taught and why, by Paul Johnson

A lucid and easy-to-understand view of how ground-breaking Jesus' message was in his world (and ours). Jesus once said that the greatest display of love is sacrificing oneself for your friends, but by "friends," he meant every single person, regardless of our differences in nationality, race, religion, opinion, age, gender, blindness, or wisdom. Understand how and why we all fit in his comforti...

Is paradise a luxury brothel?

Просмотров 219Год назад

According to Islam, Paradise is a luxury brothel. As many as six Suras (chapters) of the Quran are devoted to this notion, with sensuous descriptions of steamy pleasures for those who gain entrance. And these descriptions are further enhanced by numerous hadiths. Sadly for all of us, only terrorists who die in jihad qualify for immediate access, which explains why they are so eager to blow them...

Islam Hates Women

Просмотров 318Год назад

A billion women live under the shadow of Islam today (that's almost one in eight human beings walking the planet today). And all the evidence from fourteen centuries of Islamic history and theology points to the uncomfortable fact that Islam hates women. We examine numerous texts from the Qur'an and hadiths of Sahih al-Bukhari to illustrate the thesis. Credits and references: Programme written,...
