Several weeks ago I started thinking about a 12-Step program for Christians. In lesson 17 of my Detox Your Life and Awaken Your Inner Spirit Program, I use the tenets of the 12-Step program to illustrate our need to surrender everything to God. Step one of Alcoholics Anonymous is “We admit we were powerless over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable.”
My interest in a 12-Step Program for Christians led me on a search. I wasn’t looking for a program to overcome an addiction to alcohol, drugs, or similar vices, but to overcome the addiction to the cares, deceptions, and illusions of the world and its destructive philosophy. The non-Christian life is so engrained within us, that it is oftentimes difficult to disconnect from it and even if we desired to do so, do we really know how? Jesus told us to “be in this world but not of this world.” Yet this is no easy feat. It means walking in a totally different direction with a new and foreign mindset. Is it really enough to call ourselves Christian but possess very little differentiation from the modern world? That’s an important question to ponder.
In my delight I found just what I was looking for. It’s called Twelve Step Christianity by Saul Selby. The author, who happens to be a recovering addict and born-again Jew, discovered that the principles of the 12-Step Program applied to “any” life would be transformative.

Many years ago I remember watching Charles Stanley weekly Intouch program and being so blessed. I have one of his cassettes titled, “Wait on God” that I have probably listened to over 100 times. Well recently a friend shared with me a 5-part series on Christian Meditation by Dr. Stanley and I just knew that it would be a blessing to you as well. In fact, he has two separate series that you can purchase, but the one below is actually available online to download or listen to for Free!
You can find these on oneplace.com. (Please note that the dates are in reverse)
5/15/2009What is meditation in a biblical sense? It is stillness before God with a focus on His Word. In part three of Dr. Stanley’s series, “Meditation – The Power of Silence,” learn why busyness is no match for a close relationship with your heavenly Father.

Recently, more and more people are becoming interested in learning how to do centering prayer. This is a prayer technique that is based on the traditions and teachings of the Christian church. In this method of prayer, participants attempt to let go of all thoughts, emotions, memories, and sensations. The goal is to quiet the mind in order to better experience God’s presence within. When this state is achieved, one is said to be “resting in God”. Here are the basic steps of centering prayer. Continue Reading »How to Do Centering Prayer Instructions & Video

Honestly I didn’t compose Prayer Peace it sort of wrote itself. I was asked to provide music for a group of women who hosted a hour long prayer meeting on a weekly basis. It didn’t pay anything but I thought it was a worthy endeavor so I accepted. This gave me a lot of time for my personal meditation and reflection. During one of these sessions a thought occurred to me, what would God like to hear from me as I played the piano, what music would He enjoy?

Andrew Murray: Abide In Christ
Chapter 18–IN STILLNESS OF SOUL
“In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”– Isaiah 30:15
“Be silent to the Lord, and wait patiently for him.”– Ps.37:7 (marg.)
“Truly my soul is silent unto God.” Ps.62:1 (marg.)
Listen by The Christian Meditator Podcast
THERE is a view of the Christian life that regards it as a sort of partnership, in which God and man have each to do their part. It admits that it is but little that man can do, and that little defiled with sin; still he must do his utmost–then only can he expect God to do His part. To those who think thus, it is extremely difficult to understand what Scripture means when it speaks of our being still and doing nothing, of our resting and waiting to see the salvation of God.

Get Free Belly Fat Cure Shopping List
I recently purchased a copy of The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise that teaches you why fat accumulates on our bellys and how to get rid of it. Within a week of using the methods described in this book, which is almost 98% food based, it is possible that you can reduce as much as between four and nine pounds of fat.
The Belly Fat Cure focuses on helping you to keep the levels of insulin in your body at acceptable levels by limiting the amount of carbohydrates and sugar you consume.
To reduce belly fat, Cruise suggests that we don’t eat more than 15 grams of sugar per day and no more tha 120 grams of carbohydrates. Too much of carbs and sugar will cause a spike in blood sugar levels and they will cause fat to stagnate in the stomach. I learned there is such a thing as false belly fat.
The Belly Fat Cure helps you to considerably reduce your intake of processed carbs such as white breads, baked foods as well as pasta and candy. In limiting the intake of such foods, you can gain control over levels of hormones within your body.
The author also recommends that you learn to consume more of beneficial fats as well as lean meats, while cutting out fruit drinks as well as milk.
Besides a plan for eating, The Belly Fat Cure also emphasizes that you perform regular exercises and you must also learn to cut out stress from your life. If you follow these instructions, there is every reason to expect that this particular plan will provide you with desirable results and will help ensure that you look fitter and remain healthier.
Other highlights of The Belly Fat Cure is that the author creates five meals plans that appeal to different types of eaters. There is the “carb lover,” “meat madness,” “sweet bites,” “quick and easy,” and”chicken and seafood.” The menus include recipes for a full week, including snacks, and gives you recipes for each meal.
One drawback to the program is that there is no shopping list or guide for each meal plan. The first week I spent hours going back and forth to make a grocery list for the week. It was exhausting. In order to make it easier for me, and now you, I created a Belly Fat Cure Shopping List for each of the five meal plans that you can copy or download from my http://www.christianhealthonline.com website. You will need to make adjustments in amounts depending upon the size of your family.

Being disorganized is one of the common causes of stress. Time management is the key to organizing your work at home and at the workplace, thus lessening the stress you may feel. Prioritizing the most important job and writing down your duties and activities everyday is one of the best ways of managing you time.
Keeping a diary or journal, where you can jot down your objectives, can help you assess which duty must be done first as well as the estimated time you can accomplish each activity. Having a schedule to show your boss can also justify what you can and can’t accomplish when asked to perform new activities.

How can you change what you believe when the experiences you have had has convinced you otherwise? The simple answer to that is to create a new experience. The best way for you to get that new experience is to meditate about how you can change the way you respond to what happens. The new response will create new results, which you will then experience it as a new reality.
To reach your goal of peace, joy, and contentment, you have to act as though the following statement is true: Everything that happens to me is the best possible thing that can happen to me or as the Bible states, “God is working out all things for my highest good.” Meditating on God as well as the scriptures may not turn a bad situation into a good one right way, but it will change how you see and react to it, thus planting the seed for change. Acting as though what happens to you is the best possible thing that can happen to you often results in surrendering everything to God which creates peace and joy in your life.

Eliminate mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical toxins with the guidance of a brand new e-program titled Detox Your Life Now and Awaken Your Inner Spirit that has been released by Serenity Enterprises.
The aim of this Christian health, fitness, and wellness program is to help believers and other spiritual seekers cleanse themselves of toxins that interfere with their overall health and well-being and God’s best for their lives.
Detox Your Life Now and Awaken Your Inner Spirit takes a spiritual and holistic approach to health and healing. The program is unique in that most self-help programs address one or more specific areas like clearing clutter or overcoming emotional eating instead of uncovering the source of many problems, which most often begin with a renewing of the mind and purification of the spirit. Once we change our thoughts and cleanse our heart, the natural byproduct is a healthier body and outer world,” say the author and Health and Spiritual Coach Rhonda Jones.

Are you looking only on the surface of things? – 2 Corin 10:7
We have all heard the saying, “all that glitters is not gold.” Yet people have a tendency to judge a thing based on outward appearances or a perceived positive outcome or feeling, when in fact, this could be the most detrimental course of all. Too often, we dwell upon that part of the road that happens to be the most tumultuous at the moment, not realizing there will be smooth pavement up ahead. We also believe that difficulty or unpleasant news or circumstances mean we have done something wrong, God is punishing us, or we are out of His will. We have learned to equate our perception of good with positivity and our perception of bad with negativity, but in many cases the complete opposite is true.
I remember when I was beginning my teacher education courses and was placed in a teacher mentorship program. In this program I was given a full one-year teaching position as I worked through the program. At the end of the year, the principal could decide, based upon my performance, whether she would hire me back. It was coming close to the end of the term and my evaluation.

Christian single, have you been pondering whether the man or woman you are involved with is Mrs. or Mr. Right? If so, this lesson takes a Biblical approach to looking at love relationships and will give you some clear answers as to whether the man or woman you are with is the real thing and the best that God has for you.
Now I’m going to assume that you are already abiding my the biblical dating formalities, that is to “be not unequally yoked with an unbeliever,” and that you are to marry someone who is “in the Lord.” So, if your significant other is not of the faith you really don’t have to read any further. 2 Corinthians 6:14:15 asks us, “What fellowship has light with darkness?” Do you really want the enemy as your father-in-law? Of course, he or she may be a wonderful person, but when the going gets tough who or what will they put their faith in if not God? Continue Reading »A Godly View of Love and Relationships
