Divine Reflections in Times and Seasons explores how everyday phenomena mirror spiritual realities. "The world is charged with the grandeur of God" insists English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. "Earth is crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God" echoes his contemporary, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Other poets, writers, and philosophers have also caught glimpses of and mused about the divine in the natural world. Have you ever been struck by a moment of transcendence - a magnificent sight or a touching experience that was nothing less than a "God moment"? Why not, as the author encourages, take a fresh and deep look at the world around you. Gaze at the glory of a sunrise, the unfolding leaves in spring, and the starry heavens above. See what spiritual insights may surface. Pause and contemplate the meaning of it all.

Divine Insights from Human Life is a collection of writings drawn from the author's experience. Each begins with a story and is followed by reflections on the wisdom and/or spiritual insights gleaned from the various incidents. The book consists of two parts - Wisdom from Life and Spiritual Analogies from Life. The experiences in the first part of the book, Wisdom from Life, each include a challenge or a question, and then suggest scriptural principles for how to effectively deal with such a situation. No "best way" or "the way" is given as each person and their circumstances are different. However, the wisdom may be helpful when one is faced with similar dilemmas of life.The second part, Spiritual Analogies from Life, consists of stories, followed by biblical analogies and metaphors with the intent of providing glimpses into spiritual realities. All names have been changed to protect the privacy of those involved. May the insights shared enrich you and help add bright colours to the mosaic of your life.

Divine Insights from Human Life

The book proposes answers to questions many wonder about such as, what is the purpose of life and the human potential, and what happens after this life. Most Christians believe that man is by nature sinful - following the rebellion/fall of Adam and Eve. According to traditional teachings, this condition can be remedied by accepting Jesus Christ as a personal savior and his sacrifice on the cross as payment for our sins. This is said to reconcile us to God and cleanse us from all sin. The Bible, in the New Testament, indeed contains the teaching that man is saved by the death and blood of Jesus. While churches also usually teach that those who in this life have not accepted Jesus as their savior will eternally suffer in an ever-burning hell, the Scriptures are not quite as explicit - though they do speak about judgment. Besides numerous passages speaking about being saved by Jesus' death, there is also another thread or "gospel" running through the New Testament. It emphasises more of what Jesus taught and exhorted his followers to do, than what he did for them through his sacrificial death. Many passages speak about the Holy Spirit as the agent of transformation and creating the "new heart" predicted by Old Testament prophets. Jesus spoke about "New Birth" as a means of salvation and condition for entering the Kingdom of God. Other passages speak about Love of God shed abroad to our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We are to follow the leading of the Spirit in order to be saved. God is more than happy to give us the Holy Spirit, but our effort and cooperation are also needed in working out our own salvation. This book focuses on what is the New Birth, how we can be born again, what it means in this life, and what we can look forward to in the next life and in the Kingdom of God that Jesus so often spoke about when he came to the earth. It is a well-established fact (though not accepted by all Christians) that the Bible is not a book wherein every word is inspired by God. It is not a book of science or history as such. It also combines multiple threads of thought from various ancient sources. It has gone through a complex process of document selection, compilation, editing and reediting, as well as translating - all this long after the time of Jesus and the original apostles. There is no doubt that the Bible is an inspired book which has changed countless lives over the span of its existence, and that it contains the essential message of salvation. However, it is not free from errors, interpolations, extrapolations, and biases of its contributors, editors, and translators who were all influenced by the time and culture they lived in. Several years ago, I was led to another revelation - not as well known, but, I believe, worth considering. It is important to realize that all inspired knowledge is mediated knowledge - it comes from a higher source beyond us through a human spiritual teacher (who in that process functions as a medium) to be passed onto others. In this book, I am mostly drawing on information from two sources: the four volumes of True Gospel Revealed Anew by Jesus (TGRABJ) published by the Foundation Church of the New Birth, and the Bible. The author hopes and prays that readers will, with an open mind, consider the presented views and decide whether what they read resonates with them. May they be inspired and encouraged, as well as motivated to act on what they learn, so that they can start on the journey of fulfilling their unlimited human potential.

This book was originally inspired by Paul's farewell address to the Ephesian elders on his way to Jerusalem (Acts 20:24-27) where Paul refers to the gospel he received from Jesus as the gospel of God's grace and "preaching the kingdom". He also equates these with "the whole will of God". So in Part Two, the book addresses three questions: What is God's grace? How is grace connected to the kingdom? How is the gospel of God's grace and of the Kingdom "the whole will of God"?\nFirst, however, we briefly explore the nature of God - the God of grace - based on the Bible, other reading, and personal insights. The danger of false or misunderstood grace is also looked at, as is Paul's dramatic awakening to grace.\nPart Three deals with specific aspects of the gospel of grace. It examines the new birth and what this process entails, how the Holy Spirit works in our lives, and what is becoming our relationship with the Father, Jesus, the Christ, and the Spirit.\nPart Four further expands on the nature and working of the Holy Spirit, the vital player in the transformation process which imparts Divine Love and substance to human souls.\nThe last part shows how each of us can avail ourselves of God's lavish offer of abundant grace that will place us on the path to salvation, being born again or from above, and achieving our destiny which is an incredible future in God's Celestial Kingdom for all eternity.
