This article: Jesus and the Psychology of Happiness by Shayne Looper caught my attention as a topic that could mean a lot to many people. Do the teachings of Jesus help us to find happiness? I’ll share some […]

By MaryJo – A Pilgrim Ponders Ordinarily, this blog begins with a snippet from an article in the Christian press. I get ideas from certain articles; I like to comment on them using Urantia Book teachings. But at Easter, it is very depressing to find article after article about the atonement – how Jesus was a […]

By MaryJo – A Pilgrim Ponders Jesus often spoke of spiritual liberty, or spiritual freedom. He spoke of setting the captives free. This article: 5 freedoms only Jesus can give by Alex McFarland talks about the Christian idea of freedoms that were supposedly won because of Jesus death through the so-called atonement. In my blog below, I want […]

By MaryJo – A Pilgrim Ponders I saw this article today and decided to make a blog about it: 4 Ways That Christians Respond to the Heavy Truth That Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven by Josh Daffern.

Consider the following: We […]

This article struck a chord with me, and maybe it will with you, too. It’s called: I’m a Christian but I don’t talk like one. Neither should you by Craig Gross. The title’s a little confusing, but what this author is saying is that instead of always citing scripture or other sacred writings, we should learn to […]

Jesus comes to life in this fascinating modern biography excerpted from The Urantia Book. Many of these historical stories are familiar to readers of the New Testament but dozens are new, including the missing years not found in the Bible. Here you discover Jesus presented as never before, both as divine Son and human hero whose […]

Maintaining the focus of this day of remembrance on the sacrifice of individuals has allowed Memorial Day to remain largely apolitical. While war is often divisive, our faith can make the commemoration a unifying civic event. Taking a spiritual approach to Memorial Day focuses on the selflessness soldiers demonstrate by sacrificing everything, even their lives, […]

Watch the Video James Webb Telescope finds a Primordial Galaxy as Old as the Universe! NASA just accepted they found the most distant structure In the Universe last year using James Webb Space Telescope.
