Most of humanity's religion serves mostly to entrench people's egos and selfishness. But there is another kind of religion, the kind of religion God is backing.

123-THINK THE BEST OF OTHERS LIKE GOD DOES

Do you think that God focuses on your faults and weaknesses? That couldn't possibly be true because God wants us to focus on other's strengths, and if He chose to focus on other's weaknesses, we would be more Godly than Him!

117-MAKE THE FIRST MOVE

God did not put me on this earth to gather a group of people who will love, accept, and support me. God put me here to love, accept, and support other people. And if you have any other attitude, you will suffer, suffer, suffer.

Science has done a lot of good for humanity, but it has also brought the world to the brink of annihilation.

Listen as I share how transcending the scientific viewpoint has helped me to bring some order into my life.
