Row, Row, Row Your Boat - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Are you going with the flow? or are you taking control of your life and directing it?

Your Perfect Self Expression - Rev Dr Bob Deen

What is the Divine expression or blueprint for my life, you ask? Is it pre-ordained from the beginning of time? Do I have any say in it? Does it ever change? When considering the Game of Life and How to Play it, these questions often arise. The answers lie in our understanding of what we are and our place in the universe. Once you are clear about these questions the way opens up with ease and power.

Strategies for a Successful Life - Rev Dr Bob Deen

To successfully play any game one must have a strategy or two. Our life-game is governed by natural spiritual laws energized by Love. Consequently, our strategy must include understanding these natural spiritual laws and how they work while spending enough time with ourselves to get to know who we are and what we love. Do that. Play the game full out. All the powers of the Universe will back you and bring through you the life you have imagined.

Your Word is your Magic Wand - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Do you ever wish you were Harry Potter and had a wand to wield at anything showing up before you that you didn’t like or want? In truth, you do have such a wand and it is your clearly spoken faith-empowered word. Speaking your word with confidence and faith causes a universe of events to move into action in support of what you are demanding. One doesn’t wield a wand timidly, or without clarity. We have all seen what that can cause. Join us as we refine the use of our WordWand as we hone our effectiveness in playing the Game of Life.

The Four Phases of Spritual Growth - Rev Dr John Karn

How you see yourself in relation to the events in your life determines what’s happening next. To rise above the old embedded patterns of thinking is a challenge but it’s one we can all move through with the right support.

The Objective of the Game of Life - Rev Dr Bob Deen

“Life is not a battle, it is a game,”  says the great teacher and New Thought pioneer, Florence Scovel Shinn. To play a game successfully, you need to know the rules. Plus you must understand the overall objective of the game. Without the rules or the objective clearly in mind, it is impossible to create a strategy for successfully playing the game of life.  You wander through life, as if you are part of a pinball machine, bouncing from one obstacle to another; catapulted into different directions and finally coming to rest through some arbitrary external power. Join us today for a better idea of the object of the game of life and the rules for playing it successfully.
