"Let Go and Let God"

In John 6:40 Jesus declared, "For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." Overcome your fears and let God through the Holy Spirit mold you and rule your life. Be happy as you trust in Jesus, follow his teachings and God will bless your life abundantly. And in 1 Corinthians 5:16-17, the Holy Spirit in Saint Paul tells us, “Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”




In John 8:12, Jesus spoke again to the people saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." Make a difference in this world by helping others know Jesus in you and see the light ... Let your light shine brightly now!





And in Matthew 6:33, Jesus said, " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Live with true peace, see and feel the blessings and fulfillment that come upon your life when you do what is good for others as compared when you judge and cause pain in others which can bring so much stress, conflict and even illness in your life."





To Our Youth and The Weary, "Hope and Trust in God and Be Generous"

Herewith is a related inspirational message from the letter of St. Paul to the young Timothy (1Timothy 6:17-19), which states, “Command those who are rich in the present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”

Comments on '9/11 Families, Others Rally in Favor of NYC Mosque'

The rallyists may have all the good intentions of having a Muslim mosque built on Ground Zero in New York City, where the 9/11 massacre happened killing thousands of people, but would this really promote peace and freedom not only in the US but also around the world, especially in Muslim countries where there is ongoing war and violence?

Would this really promote the Muslim faith founder, Mohammed, as the Prince of Peace as others have commented on our Yahoo link article below?  Then would Muslims be discouraged from supporting globally Al Queda and  Imams who are for terroristic attacks and suicide bombings that kill countless civilians including children?  Then would there be freedom of religion in all Muslim countries? Then would Muslim women be given equal rights too as men?  Then would children and adults caught stealing in these countries be put to jail instead of having their hands cut off so they won't steal again?

Come to think of it, why is it in many Muslim countries' flags, the crescent moon is present?  Is Allah and Al-ilah, the pagan Moon-god worshipped as the greatest of all deities among 360 gods at Kabah in Mecca in 555 BC, one and the same, as some people who made extensive research on this say?  We certainly hope not as Muslims claim that Allah in the Quran is the same as the God of Abraham and Moses in the Old Testament, and this too as testified by Mohammed, claimed to have been duly passed on to him and dictated by the Angel Gabriel, as in all the 114 chapters of the Quran.

If all these questions can be affirmed that the building of the mosque at Ground Zero would lead to global peace, justice and freedom for all including the free practice of one's faith even in Muslim countries, then, let it be.  Hereon we pray for further guidance and enlightenment that there would be true lasting peace not only in the US but the whole world over.

  1. We hope and pray that all Muslim countries will promote free practice of one's own religion as they can practice theirs in almost all countries. And that China too will follow suit that freedom in the practice of one's faith will become a reality for many who have suffered from this inequality and persecution.

  2. If this will result into encouraging peace, 'freedom of religion' and promote same rights for both men and women in Muslim countries, then it does make sense to support this move. Otherwise, it may just bring out questions on human rights violation.
