Download or read book And You Shall Choose Life written by Rav Yehuda Ashlag and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preceding the time these essays were written in 1933-34, Kabbalah was considered taboo. But Rav Ashlag, the founder of The Kabbalah Centre, was a visionary pioneer. He stood in the face of opposition and made it his mission to plead the case of studying this wisdom. In advance of World War II, he foresaw that darkness would fall upon the world. He believed that learning Kabbalah was the only way for people to reveal Light and that gathering people together in study and writing kabbalistic text would generate enough Light to transform darkness. Like a revolutionary, Rav Ashlag fought for people to unlock their consciousness. He dedicated himself to decoding the concealed messages within the Bible. Edited by Michael Berg, the goal of this essay was to implore the study of Kabbalah. It was Ashlag’s belief that this would enable people to find their true purpose and subsequently enjoy a life of fulfillment. As people were swept up in pain and suffering, Ashlag tried to explain that despite outer events, the Creator is good. “Choosing life" means challenging the sleepy way most people live. It means forming a connection to God, removing ego and pursuing the spiritual path of Kabbalah.

Where did we come from, who are we, and what is to become of us — these questions have never been more urgent. Then, as now, the world is facing major political and social upheaval, from overpopulation to nuclear warfare to environmental degradation and the uses and abuses of technology.

Download or read book I Am the Lord Your God written by Carl E. Braaten and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I Am the Lord Your God" explores anew the place of the Ten Commandments in contemporary civil society, their relation to natural moral law, their relevance for Christian instruction, and their pertinence to ethical issues such as abortion, killing, homosexuality, lying, greed, and the like. Written by an outstanding group of ethicists, theologians, and Bible scholars from various church traditions -- Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist -- this timely work argues unequivocally for the divine authority and permanent validity of the Ten Commandments in both church and society. While including the Judge Roy Moore controversy in Alabama and other pertinent current issues in their discussion, the authors above all call the church to remain faithful to its heritage -- ultimately to the Lord God -- amid our postmodern culture at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you STILL on the Fence of Decision?(CHOOSE LIFE)Deuteronomy 30:15-20 Picture it; you are just about to take the biggest step you've ever taken in your life. The step that will either lead you to the best place you've ever been; or the worst place you could have ever visited in your darkest nightmares. Hanging in the balance is this object called "MY FUTURE"! Which way do you go? What do you choose? What is stronger? Your mind; which is where the devil wages his war against you? Or your heart, where the Holy Spirit resides if you have claimed Christ as your Lord and Savior? Standing on this fence where the two points of decision meet is the same as sitting in your car while the motor idles in park. As the motor idles, it burns up the fuel but without going anywhere. You only have so much time-so much fuel. You cannot idle in park your whole life. So what do you choose? HOW do you choose? Making no decision is still a choice, but it IS a choice to give up and go nowhere, do nothing. You are standing on the fence of decision. In Deuteronomy 30:15-20 God tells us: "Today I set before you life and death; CHOOSE LIFE!" YOU CHOOSE! The choice IS yours to make but let's not forget; you and you alone will be responsible for the choices you make. Will God help you? Will He understand? Will He forgive you? Let's find out! In spite of everything, I'm still here after making SO many bad choices. Take a walk with me and we'll find out together!
