10 Things about Kabbalah that will Blow your Christian Mind!

Many people claim that Jesus worked with Kabbalah -- we can never know that for sure, but we do know that many Christians have used it for centuries. 

1. The Kabbalah is probably Jewish in origin, though it may have come out of the Jewish diaspora in Spain rather than the Middle East.

2.  Kabbalah acts as a 'map' of the universe and of our consciousness. 

3. From Creator, to the Created, the different 'spheres' suggest different attributes of the cosmos.

4.  Kanye, Kardashian, Snoopy, Hooplah, Rick Moranis, Jay-Z, Ben Affleck, Laura Dern, Bill Joy, John Cage, Deshimaru, Clark Kent, Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, Mary Magdalene, Hillary Clinton, Rand Paul: I know of no evidence that any of these people have worked with Kabbalah.

5. Sometimes it's spelled Qaballah or Qabbalah or Qu-Ball (by those in the know).  "I'm just going down to play some Q-ball with my friends, see you later".

6 & 7. This is not a toy. 

8.  Jesus might have said to play Q-ball, but this saying wasn't recorded at the time.

9.  The Ninth sphere has to do with the Moon and imagination.

10.  The tenth sphere is the farthest (and closest?) to the first -- Creator and Created may seem far, but are always connected.

Pray about it with your pastor today.

You Won't believe what Jesus Christ Just said about Gay Marriage!

He didn't say anything about it!  Not only because he hasn't said anything in a long time (except in your heart, etc.), but because the only thing he said about marriage was "don't divorce & don't have adultery" (Matthew 19:9).

(And if you're not Christian -- you may still find some fun here...!! ;-)

3 Christian Mistakes You Won't Believe You're Making

We make mistakes all the time, sure, but the point of our religion is love and forgiveness!  Still, you won't believe the simple ways you goof up -- and how easy it is to fix it.

1.  Forgetting that this is God's world

Yep, it's all His.  You're just walking through it -- or as they say, it's God's world, you're just living in it.  Remember with every step that you're playing in the Creator's sandbox.  The lives you take -- from mosquitoes to bacteria -- are His, not yours.

2.  Forgetting that you're a Steward of the World

It may be His world, but he made us the stewards of creation.  So love your neighbor, love the animals and plants, and love yourself as he does.  An impossible task?  So it may be -- but it's our duty, as good stewards, to try (and try and try!) to come closer to the love that gave us our existence.

3.  Consistency

So you're pro-life?  Or maybe you're pro-choice.  But are you consistent in your approach?  If you're pro-choice, focusing on the free will God gave us to decide the course of lives, then remember to honor other's freedom of choice as well.  Do as thou will shall be the whole of the Law, if the Law is under His Love.  But if you're pro-life -- be consistent.  Why are you needlessly taking life for food?  Do you support wars or executions?  Be consistent.

Finally, give yourself a break!  Love is all around us, we just have to awaken to it, forgive each other, and forgive ourselves.
