There is nothing like a crisis to reveal the cracks in the walls of our soul. But God promises to redeem all things that come into our lives to make us more like Jesus.

I want to talk about how God can redeem a crisis in our personal lives to take us deeper into maturity and intimacy with Christ.

The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE. Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That’s why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha.

¿Qué tal si estamos equivocados? ¿Y si la felicidad no depende de un buen trabajo, la seguridad económica, las amistades correctas, la política o incluso la religión? ¿Cuál es el verdadero secreto de una vida plena y exitosa?

La filosofía del rey Salomón: Eclesiastés revela el mensaje claro y contundente de este libro antiguo: todo lo terrenal es vanidad si no se vive en comunión con Dios.

Through his commentary on the tiny but exquisite Song of Meditation by Hakuin, “one of the greatest of Zen masters”, Osho speaks on how contemporary man goes through life with the idea that he must be different from how he is and so trying to change.
