Lucifer3Many people in our religious culture are afraid to death of a being that the Bible and the Koran call “Satan the Devil.” Throughout the Bible, this being has wreaked havoc in the lives of the saints of God. This evil spirit wants to sift the Apostle Peter as wheat. This spirit takes everything Job has from him, including his sons and daughters, and then inflicts him with unfathomable physical pain and suffering throughout his body, all of which cause him great grief.

Meditation and Prayer, Stillness and Silence

Going withinThe Bible is a book of allegory.  It is a book of symbols, but the intriguing thing about it is that it interprets its own symbols, so we never have to be in the dark about the meaning of Biblical symbols.  One of the reasons the Bible is such a voluminous work is that its truths are hidden like pearls in the heart of the earth.  One must dig for the hidden treasures within its pages.  “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” (Prov. 25:2).  The secrets of the Kingdom are concealed [Read more…] about Meditation and Prayer, Stillness and Silence
