“It's such a frustration when you see in the name of religion, in the name of God, what people are doing is something we never expected. The religion has to be Spirit-oriented, but it is only power-oriented or money-oriented. In the original scriptures, or we can say in the origin of this religion was the truth. And all these religions bloom on the same play of spirituality like beautiful flowers at different times, but people have plucked it and now they are fighting with the dead flowers.” PeopleLoveDifferentPlayWisdomBeautifulSpiritSpiritualityFightingNamesMeditationFlowerYogaOriginalsExpectedScriptureWellnessFrustrationDifferent TimesBeautiful FlowerDead Flowers Author:Nirmala Srivastava

In the Church the elder is an office-bearer. But both the preaching elders and the ruling elders are "ministers," and the word "minister" is a personal relationship, it does not speak of dominance. There is to be order in the Church, but the preaching elder or the ruling elder is to be a minister, with a loving personal relationship with those who are before him, even when they are wrong and need admonition.” NeedsDoeGodOrderSpiritualitySpeakChurchOfficeConceptsScriptureMinistersPreachingEmphasisRulingEldersDominancePersonal RelationshipsAdmonition Book:True Spirituality Source: True Spirituality

“I find that when I get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away.
