On their journey to Italy, after secretly marrying in September 1846, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett travelled through South Yorkshire and rested overnight in the picturesque market town of Barnsley. Although their stay there was the briefest of visits it was long enough for Browning to completely fall in love with the place. After living in Italy for some time Browning became increasingly preoccupied with recollections of “that rustic jewel set in Yorkshire’s Eden”, and his longing to again see the town finally manifested itself in one of his most well known poems.

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

If you are one of many here who sit on a fence. Don’t know what is right or true you are missing out. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the light. One on here commented there are 4,000 religions, what year is it? Whose life is it based on? Who’s coming was foretold ?

When I say you are missing out I mean just that , I would like to tell you many miracles that happened in my life due to prayer.

Take one day and pray to Jesus and see what happens. Especially if you are old because your days are few and you may soon experience serious global warming.

I just can't help myself posting this beautiful song as it is my reason to go further.
All that I have,all that I am.
I lay them down before you oh Lord.
All my regrets,all my acclaim.
The joy and the pain,I'm making them Yours.

Lord I offer my life to you, everything I've been through.
Use it for your glory.
Lord I offer my days to you, lifting my praise to you.
As a pleasing sacrifice.
Lord I offer you my life.

Things in the past,things yet unseen.
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true.
All of my hopes,all of my dreams.
My heart and my soul,I'm making them Yours.

I hope and I pray,you will also be inspired by this!God bless your journey....

I don't fully understand the science behind this but the longer I am listening to this, the better I am feeling, no joke.

It may not happen on your timetable or the way you thought, but He is a faithful God. What He promised you, He will bring to pass. Have faith

How can a random quantum fluctuation be? Particles popping out of nothing but that nothing is actually space-time filled with at least 11 dimensions! In an already existent universe you say ‘nothing’! ‘Before’ the Big Bang – that ‘before’ relates to time – there was no time ‘prior’ to the Big Bang – Time came into existence with the Bang. ‘Before’ the BB there was Nothing (capital ‘N’) – random quantum fluctuations caused something to come from that Nothing. How can probabilities, mathematics, quantum fluctuations even exist or come about in Nothing? What brought about Quantum Fluctuations, we could ask? It defies logic.

There are a lot of Christians out there who think they know who God is. ‘Whatever thou pratest about God it is untrue.’ Knowledge of God goes up and up to the highest knowledge. Most Christians are content with lesser knowledge of God. Atheists are perhaps right in criticizing those Christians? But even those Christians have a leg up on Atheists, I reckon.

Bottom line: Go beyond. Start now. Or remain where you are. It’s up to you (free will).

prate: talk foolishly or tediously about something.

God, is the most important and foundational concept in Islam.Muslims believe in one God who created the universe and has power over everything within it. Heis unique and exalted above everything He creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation. Furthermore, He is the only one deserving of any worship and the ultimate purpose of all creation is to submit to Him. The Islamic understanding of God is distinct from all other religions and beliefs in various respects since it is based on a pure and clear understanding of monotheism. This essentially captures the concept of God in Islam, which will be further elaborated in this pamphlet.Muslims often refer to God asAllah. This is a universal name forGod and does not refer to an exclusively ‘Islamic’ God. Interestingly, this name is related to the Aramaic and Hebrew namesfor God,AllahaandElohim. Therefore,Allahis simply the Arabic name for God which affirms that He is One singular God with no partners or equals. The nameAllahcannot be pluralized or limited to a specific gender, which establishes that Godis One and that He is unique from everything He creates. Muslims continue to use this original Arabicname for God (Allah) since it perfectly expresses His unique qualities.God is the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe who created everything for a reason. Muslims believe that He created humankind with a simple purpose – to worship Him. He sent messengers to guide people in fulfilling this purpose. Some of these messengers include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon all of them. They all taught a consistent message about God by affirming His greatness as the Creator and guiding people to worship Him alone. This basic concept has always resonated with people’s natural understanding of God. (Clickhereto learn more about prophets in Islam.)

Pope Francis: Money and power soiling the Church.
VATICAN. The path that Jesus points out the path to love, to serve, but in the Church, people often go looking for power, money and other frivolous things. Here is the text of the homily the Holy Father Francis in the morning Mass Tuesday, 17/05, at the chapel of St. Marta. The Holy Father also stressed that the Christian must win worldly temptations want split the Church and warned those 'chance'. They were always seeking to exclude other people to climb higher position.
Christians tempted to win power
"The disciples had temptations of power. They think in the spirit world. The argument about who he was the greatest. But Jesus said to them that must be last of all, to make everyone who serves.
Standard on the path that Jesus is the only place to serve. The head must be served, humbly serving others rather pompous, vain, looking worried only power, money and other frivolous things. If anyone does not serve the people not the greatest. Arguing over who was bigger than what happened to the apostles, as well as the mother of John and James. And that is exactly what took place today in the Church, in every community. Of us, who is bigger than all? Who ordered? In every community, in the parish, in the organization always had a desire to be promoted and climb very high on the ladder of power.
A narrated reading a passage in the letter of St. James, in which saints were wary before passion people power, jealousy, envy led to the mutual exclusion.
This is also a message for the Church today. The world that one has more power will be the commander. But Jesus again declared he came to serve, not to be served.
