The Spiritual Path - Part 1 - Rev. Ursula Lentine

How does it begin? What are the trials and tribulations of this path? What do we figure out along the way? What we must remember when we get lost. What it is like to be off the path and then find our way back? Do you even know what direction this Path goes in? Why is it so lonely on the path? And why bother anyway?

Living Thanksgiving - Rev. Paul Gonyea

In the deepest meaning of the word, gratitude means more than just being thankful. Most people think that thankfulness is something we express for something that just happened, or for something we just received. That’s the way much of the world sees it. But it’s also something we can express as a statement of faith about something we want to happen, or something we are ready to receive. That’s where the power of manifestation comes in. That’s the method the teacher Jesus used to accomplish all the things he accomplished. First he gave thanks, and then he made his affirmation, he made his demand on the universe. The things he did weren’t exactly miracles, in the strictest sense of the word; he was actually using a Law that any one of us can use, once we learn how to use it.

It’s OK to NOT Know the Answer - Rev. Paul Gonyea

 There’s nothing wrong with being certain about some things. We just need to remember that just because we’re certain that something is true, that doesn't necessarily mean it IS true. We need to be more open to new ideas, however strange or outrageous, and less defensive and possessive about our old ones. We also need to get over our reluctance to change our mind when our intuition, or our spiritual awareness, tells us that it needs to be changed.

Fall Leaves, God Doesn't - Rev. David Barrett

What a great time of year to recognize how the leaves fall, or how Fall will leave, but to also remember the Omnipresence of God…. God never leaves. Even in our darkest hour, God, Infinite Mind, Source, Infinite Love is there. It is up to us to remember the Omnipresence of Source in all that we do, good times and bad.

Turning Back the Hands of Time - Rev. David Barrett

If you could go back in time and relive one moment to say, ” I Love You”, one moment to say, ” I’m Sorry”, one moment to say, “I forgive you”’,  or one moment to take back what you said, would you feel that a burden had been lifted?

Yes, we actually turn back the hands of time on this day, but in actuality, all of our past experiences we would like to relive are only in Mind….. and Mind is where we can go and say those things we wished we had said, or wish we hadn't said, so long ago. Sunday we will learn how to live with NO REGRETS.

The Masks We Wear - Rev. Paul Gonyea

It's time that we stopped hiding behind false excuses for why we're not living the life we want to live. It's also time we stopped buying into the illusions of why we're not doing the things we want to do. Every mask we wear hides us from our true self, from our powerful divine self. One mask shows the world how old you are, and what that age allows you to do or not do --- throw it away. One mask shows the world your education and job qualifications --- throw it away. One mask shows the world what you're willing to settle for in a relationship --- throw it away. One mask shows what you think you're worth --- throw it away. And finally, throw away the mask called 'My Story.' Your story stops here; it's time to start writing a new one.

The Joy of Prosperity - Rev. David Barrett

Prosperity is our birthright. It is an Abundant Universe and each one of us is as aspect of that Abundance. The substance we are looking for OUT THERE must be channeled through our Minds, so we remember that our true starting point for all the riches of the Universe starts in our own individual Mind. We are richer than we think we are right now.

Love, Chaos, and Transformation: The Journey of Healing Through Cancer - Erika Luckett

At one point, Erika Luckett was given only thirty minutes to live. Not thirty weeks, or thirty days, but thirty minutes. The priceless gifts that emerged during her journey of healing and transformation apply to all of us. You can read more in her article ”Find The Antidote in The Venom” in the October issue of the Science of Mind magazine.

Money Money Everywhere! - Rev. Paul Gonyea

People who are wealthy and successful don’t need secrets; they use intelligence, good sense and experience. They don’t focus on manipulating things; instead, they focus on their inner awareness relating to what they believe about wealth and prosperity. How much time do you think Bill Gates, or Warren Buffett or Donald Trump spends worrying about what will happen if their money runs out? Not much, I can assure you. They know that even if their money disappears, they can always create more the same way — through their belief that they are always connected to the Source of all supply. They may not say it that way, but that’s what they believe.
