Rejecting Christ amounts to saying that he came and died for nothing—this is totally unthinkable! If you cannot prove that he is false in any way, you have no choice but to believe in him 100%, for you are dealing with God! It's all or nothing, no fudging allowed.
The sharing of my spiritual thoughts and experiences

***Unique Pure Joy
At Mass this morning, I witnessed the large crucifix displayed on the back wall above the tabernacle on the altar. If you do not know anything about Christ, you probably would be shocked to see a dead figure hanging on a cross. When I looked at it, I knew I was looking at my Lord and God who loved me so much that he gave himself up for me so that I might live. Filled with gratitude, I felt pure joy. I don't believe you can possibly create this unique experience under any other circumstances sans the Lord.
*One Great Joy*
It is the joy of of having a clear conscience, making us realize that we can experience peace only thru obeying God the Father and our creator.
*We All Need Prayers
Know that we need to pray not only for others, but also for ourselves. If we can entrust ourselves to God, we can glorify him even more by doing more good to others.

***Union with God a Must for Us***
I first posted a video by Robert Nugent about his encounter with Mary and Baby Jesus on January 5 this year. Today I am posting his new video on union with God which I've been advocating since 2010 on this blog.
**Prayer Tips
If you pray any good prayer that's been written by someone else, still pray with your heart, meaning every word you utter. If you pray directly from your own heart, you always mean what you say, so just remain sincere and open. Communicating with God is to be taken seriously and must involve your heart and mind fully.
***Simple to Become Carefree***
Live for God only and he completely takes care of you. Now you are carefree. That's all there is to it.
*****Most Beneficial Food!
Communion Experience. Receiving the Holy Eucharist is being made holy and immortal! You can't ask for more.
*****Letting Joy Transform You*****
A person in love is always happy. Then when you are in love with the Lord God, your joy becomes so overwhelmingly powerful that you are transformed forever!
*****Super Excellent Way of Living***
Look forward to Christ's Second Coming or meeting him after you leave this world with anticipation and joy. And remain in complete union with him spiritually every step of the way now.
**Obedience Leads to Liberation*
Complete obedience to Christ leads to complete liberation of the spirit.
***Definitive Truth***
In today's Gospel reading from Mark 16, Jesus, before he ascended into heaven, appeared to the eleven and said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned." That last statement is definitive. We must realize that Christ is the Truth and not to be dismissed without consequences.
***Most Ardent Prayer*
Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, Apostle. The Lord converted such a hardcore persecutor of Christians as Saul (St. Paul), surely he can convert any of us. It is my most ardent prayerr that he would convert all of us in the world today.

*****Not Alone Anymore
We are basically alone in this world, for there is not another person you can absolutely trust or depend upon. But if you already belong to Christ whom you can absolutely trust and depend upon for all eternity, you know you are not alone anymore!

**Peace begins with Us
If you wish to have peace in the world, you must start with yourself to achieve peace within your own heart. This is where Christ comes in. Follow him all the way and we'll have peace within us and throughout the world. It's that simple.

**Bigger Fools*
I came across this video on YouTube showing that many super rich people around the world have built their own bunkers or fortresses to protect them from nuclear attacks, zombie invasions, earthquakes, etc. You find installed surveillance equipment, barricades, amors, etc. Inside there's enough food stored to last for years. Many of them also have swimming pools, tennis courts, home theaters, art galleries, gyms, even an escape tunnel. I recall Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12. The rich man decided to tear down his barns and build larger ones to store his bountiful harvest. He said to himself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!" But God said to him, "You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" To me, these builders of today are even more foolish, for they believe that they can survive doomsday.
**Nothing Impossible for God?
If you believe that nothing is impossible for God, then you shouldn't worry about anything anymore. If you still do, then your faith is imperfect. Actually, believing that there are things God cannot accomplish is a sin, for it's saying that he is not omnipotent. If that were true, then you shouldn't believe in him at all. It's in believing truly that nothing is impossible for God that you experience his power and wonders.
