Dear Friends,
Please join me this Sunday, August 30th, at Church of the Master (122nd & Morningside Avenue, Harlem, NY) at 10:00am for the regular morning worship service.
The sermon topic is: From Torment to Testimony
I will deal with the transformation of the life of a young man who was obviously deeply disturbed. You may want to read the story in the 8th chapter in the book of Luke (in the New Testament), especially the 38th and 39th verses.
Finding Fulfillment
Many of us, on this planet, are continuously seeking a sense of fulfillment. If the attempt to feel fulfilled comes from grasping for things in the external world, disappointment often results. If we feel incomplete within ourselves, no amount of "feeding the empty hole" will fill us enough to experience true "wholeness." If, on the other hand, we are able to lift ourselves out of the rat race of acquisition and possession, we may choose to stop and enter the inner domain of true bounty. It is when we are able to tap into the sacred silence that we recognize we are already "perfect, whole, and complete." Therefore, there is really nothing outside ourselves that we need. This concept may seem like "airy-fairy" spiritual jargon, but it is actually the truth.
When we remember that we are already whole, divine beings, we feel imbued with the energy of the cosmos. From this point of awareness, we know that we are so rich, so loving, and so joyous that we can "give from the overflow" of our own bountiful essence. No longer do we, consciously or unconsciously, resort to stingy behavior; nor do we need to protect ourselves from some perceived threat. Now, we can know that we are magnificant emanations of spirit, so amazingly abundant in every way, that assisting others is a natural way of being for us. When we live our lives motivated by "generosity of spirit" we open our hearts to allow our divine gifts to flow freely and easily to help others. Then we can offer a warm smile or a gentle embrace as a way of giving love in a world that really needs it. What a wonderful way to find our own fulfillment!
Remember...God Loves You! And I love you too!

Spiritual Stimulus Package
Dear Friends,
Please join me this Sunday, August 9th at Church of the Master (122nd & Morningside Avenue, Harlem, NY) at 10:00* am for the regular morning worship service.
The sermon topic is:
An Adventure with the Almighty
Recently, President Obama has been talking about the stimulus package, economic development, health care and a number of other issues that he raised in his campaign that he'd like to see translated into national policy. Let me ask you a question, "Have you taken advantage of your spiritual stimulus package?" As we enter into the last quarter of 2009, now is the ideal time to check in with yourself and introspect on whether you've been open and receptive to all the spiritual stimulus the Spirit freely offers you!
Have you been available to the subtle workings of your inner self? Open to catching the Spirit's vision for your life, even if it's seemingly the smallest details? Since there is no big or small in the mind of God, it is up to each of us to deepen our awareness, our self-witnessing skills, so that we can catch even the subtle ways the Spirit is constantly transmitting hints on ways we must refine our consciousness to reflect it's nature within us.
As an individual expression of a cosmic good, you are in a constant state of unfolding the divine potential within you. This unfoldment is further stimulated by your conscious awareness of it, and even more so, by your application of the spiritual tools of meditation, of affirmative prayer, spiritual study, service and fellowship.
Each and every day we are provided stimulus to cultivate our consciousness. Even amidst the crash of breaking worlds--or economic crisis--that which we are within cannot be taken away. The joy, peace, love, intelligence, bliss, creativity--nothing can diminish our Essential Self. Lean into this truth, affirm it, and above all, practice it.
Remember...God Loves You! And I love you too!
