SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY
Article by Tom Gilbert — © April, 2009


We all know times are tough right now. You can’t escape the news. We are in a recession. It is perhaps the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Some are even labeling our crisis the Great Recession.

With all the media attention on our troubled time it is easy to get caught up in the gloom and doom. Focusing on negativity will not make things better, however, so I try to take a different tact. I believe that when you stop living in the problem and start living in the solution the problem goes away. Or at least you find a way to face the problem.

The big problem I see today is not so much that unemployment is on the rise and banks are foreclosing on homes (but please don’t think I’m minimizing the plight of anyone dealing with those challenges). The problem I perceive is that too many people are going bankrupt spiritually. A very large part of the population seems lost in a culture that emphasizes materialism, consumerism and egoism. These things never satisfy. Not ultimately.

The good news that sometimes comes out of the bad news of a great recession is that more of us get a wakeup call to what life is really all about.

SEVEN GIFTS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Article by Tom Gilbert — © June, 2009

Everyone is looking for ways to change their life for the better. Motivational speakers and self-help gurus promote their latest systems with action steps to a new you. We’ve all heard, maybe even tried, to follow some of these good orderly directions. And there is nothing wrong with many of them.

A Key Point

Except for one essential and key point that any system or set of principles designed to change you for the better must be grounded in spiritual power to have any real and lasting effect.

For Christians that power is God. And it is expressed in, and through us, by the Holy Spirit. The Feast of Pentecost is the celebration of the Holy Spirit descending upon the apostles in a mighty way as described in Acts 2.

The Counselor Comes

Jesus spoke of this special Helper, the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, in the Gospel of John 16:13 - But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.

I just wanted to thank you for your website. You constantly stay positive and I know how hard that is. Your words are so filled with love and empty of judgement. You have given me new perspectives on God's grace, mercy, love, etc. when I needed it most. Your site and responses to my questions have helped me significantly. I am so thankful for the things God does through all of you who work for this site. May God bless you in all aspects of your lives. Keep up the good work!
