Cremation: Why not?

https://asceticexperience.com/portfolio/cremation-why-not/

Many people think that cremation is an easy solution and wonder, ‘Why not?’

First of all, we should not forget that the human body is the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit’ (1 Cor. 6, 15-19) and, therefore, if the human body is burned it’s tantamount to burning a church- and even more so because the human body is so much more than an ordinary church.

Hagia Sophia

With sadness we watch the destruction of a religious icon, when will people learn not to destroy things in order to gain, why inflict pain in hope of joy, life stretches forward as an eye keeps constant watch of the destructive advances of man. God is patient, God is fair and as before the days of Adam he stretches forth a hand in the hope of peace and love for all.

An icon is slipping away and it causes such deep pain and hurt as the hurt was when Joseph was taken away, God is in control, don not be fooled by mans motives, we do what we can and what we can not do we leave, shake the dust from our sandals and walk on to do the will of as is written, fear not and keep in mind we worship a Lord in heaven first and foremost, not a structure as hard as it is, keep the faith, pray and do Gods will....

insurance

Prayer is like insurance, when things are going good why does one pay insurance, stop payments and save, if life is going good why waste valuable time praying,  one day when things go wrong do not blame God who has been ignored, say a prayer today and go through life insured

hair

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair it is an honour to her

1cor 11:14

In the begining

small things in life are reminders of bigger things, I consider an apple the fruit of of the tree of knowledge, it affords me to reflect on our creator and all he has created for us every time I eat one, give thanks, be grateful for all we have and stay blessed.

In the beginning God made heaven and earth.......

motorcycles

Where serenity can be enjoyed

Where can peace and stillness afford the mind to reflect on events of life.

Where can repentance be sought in honesty.

The maddness of the world gets left behind, praise and singing of joy erupts where no one can hear at the beauty around and magnificence of the creator.

This world can be found in many places everyday, find it and begin to live.

the city of god - death

In life we face death many times,

I would ask is it not better to suffer once and die, than to live in fear of all.

For death becomes evil only by the retribution which follows it.

Fear not then which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.

be kind

today in this troubled time of covid19 let it be in your soul to have empathy on someone in need, the old are in desperate circumstances and a little kindness if only a hello or a greeting of hope can bring joy and endurance which is so much needed, be kind, just always be kind.

why easter is important

Jesus Christ in the Augustinian tradition represents the understanding that God gave His Son to the world in order to restore the order of the universe. For the Protestants, if one believes in God, one is “saved.”

Mathew VII:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
