True Beauty Should Never Be Dismissed by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: March 17, 2013 at 4:46 am By editorconvergingzone

We tend to do away with things that are slightly damaged. We often treat people in the same way. We say: “Well, he has a problem with drinking; well, she has emotional issues; well, he is depressed a lot.” When we dismiss people because of their apparent woundedness, we miss their inner beauty and gifts, which are often buried in their wounds.

Community is Measured by the Quality of Shared Hearts by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 23, 2013 at 3:30 am By editorconvergingzone

Community can make us think of safe authentic togetherness, or shared meals and joyful celebrations. It may also call forth images of sectarian exclusivity, and self-satisfied isolation. Ultimately, community reveals the quality of a heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another, and it becomes the harvest of our capacity to make the interests of others more important than our own. How well we can develop and nurture giving hearts... Read more

God’s Love is Beyond Knowledge by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 20, 2013 at 3:07 pm By editorconvergingzone

Christians who profess Christ sometimes may have a head knowledge of truth yet remain far from the heart filled love of God. They do not live in whom they say they believe in, and so judgment, division, and exclusion rules their world. they quote scriptures out of context and hatefully and mercifully condemn those who are different or think differently than themselves. They may have become what we might call, “Modern day pharisees.” Those who are not moved by love,... Read more

The Anointed One is Always Present by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 4, 2013 at 11:47 pm By editorconvergingzone

The anointing is not something that comes and goes. The anointing comes from the Anointed One who never leaves us and is ever present to deliver His love, mercy, and grace in power. People feel the anointing like it just came upon them, when it actually just poured through them. We all have the ability to be a conduit for His ability, His presence, His anointed transactions. That is not exclusive to anyone, but inclusive to all living temples of... Read more

My New Year’s Resolutions, 2013 by Greg Austin

Last updated on: January 2, 2013 at 2:18 am By editorconvergingzone

I Hereby Resolve ….. My New Year’s Resolutions, 2013 I have studiously avoided falling into the New Year’s Resolutions trap for all of my adult life. I’ve seen too many failed diets, too many failed self-improvement promises over the years, and rather than set myself up for inevitable failure, I have simply avoided disappointment through disengagement. But this year I’ve given in, surrendered to temptation. I’m joining the masses, marching to the drumbeat of convention. I’m making my first-ever resolutions... Read more

Seven Biblical Answers to Popular Zionist Assumptions Posted on August 22, 2011 by Stephen Sizer Seven Biblical Answers to Popular Zionist Assumptions 1.
