Poem: Herein is the love that we feel

Herein is the love that we feel
a deep stiring in our souls
a longing desire to make
to break
to explore
to feel
to transcend

Herein is the love that we feel
an inner longing for something deeper
someone true and passionate
to enter the place
where everything works out
where everyone feels loved

Book Review "Ears Wide Open" by Malachi Talabi

There have been timeless controversies around the theme "I heard God" or "God told me", which has resulted in a questionable stance assumed by church and non-church goers every time they hear these words. Question is does God really speak? How do we recognise His voice if He does? Is there any specific formula or principle to hearing Him? Answers might just have come from South London!

How To Sing the September Song

September is significant for various reasons around the world. A few examples:

• Father's day celebrated on the first Sunday of September in Australia and New Zealand
• Brazil's independence day is September 7, Chile's September 18, Mexico's September 16 and Uzbekistan's September 1. 
• First Monday in September is Labour day in USA and Canada
• September 11 is Patriot day in USA in honour of those who lost their lives in the September 11 2001 attack.

"From a Christian point of view of course we do want a peaceful world, and I think September 11 did actually make people aware not only of vulnerability and how transitory life is, but there are forces of good and honour and justice which speak to us of God and his love for us.  " George Carey

The God Factor

Everyone knows "The X Factor" TV Show. It's a massive "interactive talent music show" created by Simon Cowell and has grown into a franchise with an international audience. Amazing, isn't it? A huge emotional following by a massive international audience of various age groups, probably one of the biggest shows on TV.

Out of deep curiosity and desire for knowledge, I set about to research if there was any such thing as the GOD factor. While there's still a huge debate about the existence of God and various scientific theories been expounded to explain the theory of the universe, my sole aim was to discover if there existed an explanation on how the presence of God could create a positive effect in a person's life.
