THE GALA LIGHTHOUSE

1. Allow yourself to complain of nothing – not even the weather. 2. Never picture yourself to yourself – under any circumstances in which you are not. 3. Never compare your own lot with that of another. 4. Never allow yourself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise that is was, or is. God Almighty loves you better and more wisely than you do yourself. 5. Never dwell on...

Instead of planting a garden, let’s say I need to plant seeds of truth in a friend’s heart. Or instead of fixing a sink, I need to fix a broken relationship. The wonderful news is that God gives us the tools to do any spiritual work He may ask us to do. Not only that, but God also gives us the knowledge and ability to use these tools. Sometimes we see someone doing some great spiritual work, and w...

A prolonged sickness can be a desert.  Moving to a new place or joining a new church where you don’t know anyone can be one.  Being stuck in a miserable or boring job instead of the fulfilling career you had hoped for can be a desert.  A rebellious child or an unbelieving spouse can be a desert. When we’re in the desert, it can feel like God’s not doing anything.  Or he’s set us aside.  But God is...

According to King Solomon, wisdom is gained from God, "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding" Proverbs 2:6. ... Solomon basically states that with the wisdom one receives from God, one will be able to find success and happiness in life.

 Satan declared war on God when he attempted to overthrow God long before Adam and Eve were here.  We believe Satan whose name was Lucifer lived on the planet Earth ruling over all of God's angels.  There was plant and animal life plus all of God's angels.  Lucifer planned an invasion of heaven taking a third of God's angels with him.      Isaiah the prophet tells us, "How art thou fallen from hea...

Si somos testigos de Cristo, debemos orar y hablar con Él. El mundo debe entender que hablamos con Cristo porque esta vivo, no ha muerto, porque él es mas fuerte que la muerte. La oracion es testimonio de nuestra fe en la resurrección.

Imagínese que alguien le pregunta si Dios ha sido bueno con usted. ¿Qué es lo primero que le viene a la cabeza? ¿Piensa en cosas materiales como una casa o un automóvil? Esas cosas son excelentes, pero aunque no tenga ninguna señal externa de sus bendiciones, todavía puede decir que Dios ha sido bueno con usted.

El Espíritu Santo se recibe después del bautismo. En una ordenanza llamada confirmación, uno o más poseedores autorizados del sacerdocio le ponen las manos sobre la cabeza, lo confirman miembro de la Iglesia y lo bendicen para recibir el Espíritu Santo.

Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. No one in this world can love a girl more than her father. A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he meant to be. My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it

Set the example. To cultivate new leaders, you have to lead by example. Your habits and actions will set the standard for others and show others how it's done. 2.     Recognize their strengths. Don't do anything on your own if it can be prevented, but recognize your employees' strengths and allow them to participate as much as they can. Don't take their talents for granted. Make it a point to talk...

If you keep someone in the dark or leave someone in the dark, you do not tell them about something In many cases, the government itself was being kept in the dark about what was going on.

“I shall not want' means that in order to move forward to become the enlightened being you naturally are, you just need to step away from fear infused and desperate energies, 'want' being a part of them. Instead of you wanting something, why don't you declare that the things you desire wants you.

The 23rd Psalm is the most famous Psalm in the world. Sometimes familiarity can not only breed contempt but can blind us to the presence of things we should have seen. For many, the 23rd Psalm has brought comfort at funerals or memorial services but I believe this Psalm has more than just comfort to give us. Let me point out a few structural elements of the Psalm we should take note of right way.

Christians are people who rely on God’s promises. We have never seen God or touched God, but we know Him and that through the Word of His promises. Some have counted the promises in the Bible and come up with 3583! That is a lot of promises!!!! As we rejoice and rely upon God’s promises, it is very easy to become one dimensional in our grasp of God’s promises. Let me illustrate. How do we see God’...

 For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; 7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would he...

Moses spent 40 years in the desert before God raised him up to lead Israel out of Egypt. As soon as God delivered Israel from bondage in Egypt he took them into the desert. David did a lot of desert time hiding out from Saul before God made him king. ?And the Spirit drove Jesus into the desert after his baptism for 40 days.

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 

should consider saying yes: You Help Other People. When you say yes and try new things, you give others the courage to do the same, says Carducci. “ ... You Boost Your Brainpower. ... You Slow Down The Aging Process. ... You Better Your Career. ... You Have Less Regret. ... You Become Happier.

The miracle of the resurrection, described in the Bible, is the most important miracle of the Christian faith. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the first Easter morning, he showed people that the hope he proclaimed in his Gospel message was real, and so was God's power at work in the world, believers say.

Every year on Good Friday, Christians take time to meditate on the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice for us in suffering a humiliating, bloody death by crucifixion. It’s a time to dwell on what Jesus suffered for us, in all its pain and intensity, without rushing straight ahead to the good news of Easter, resurrection, and new life.

Children of the heav?nly Father Safely in His bosom gather Nestling bird nor star in Heaven Such a refuge e?er was given God, His own doth tend and nourish In His holy courts they flourish From all evil things He spares them In His mighty arms He bears them Neither life nor death shall ever From the Lord, His children sever Unto them His grace He showeth And their sorrows all He knoweth

When God called Moses, he had actually chosen a strong candidate to be Israel’s deliverer. For the previous 40 years, Moses had led sheep through the very wilderness God wanted Israel to escape through. That meant he knew the terrain, the mountain passes, and the watering holes. As a herder of sheep, he knew something about managing unruly crowds. And, as a former son of Pharaoh, he had learned ho...

“Is life worth living?” To scores of people life has ceased to be worth living. To all of you I have good news. God did not create you to be a defeated, discouraged, frustrated, wandering soul, seeking in vain for peace of heart and peace of mind. He has bigger plans for you. He has a larger orb and a greater life for you. The answer to your problem, however great, is as near as your Bible, as sim...
