I see this happening in churches today. Taking the word of God and twisting it to fit an agenda. They pick apart scripture to make it more appealing to their audience. The Bible warns against such things: { Romans 16: 17,18} " I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people."------- The truth hurts! Oftentimes the word of God can cut right to the heart. I use those moments as opportunities to grow as a believer. I don't want someone to sugar coat the problem just to make me feel comfortable with it. I want to kneel before God and deal with it ( whatever it may be). { 2 Timothy 4:3,4} " For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."---------- We must remain strong in our faith in Jesus alone ; Rooted in Christ. God gave us the Bible to be an instruction manual for life, and we all know what happens when we try to ignore instructions and build something " our way"- It ends in a broken mess. If you are living a lifestyle that is not in step with God's word. If you are wrestling with a life changing decision. Seek the guidance of proven godly men and women. Spend time in prayer. The answers may not not be the ones you want to hear, But they will be what you need to hear. Do not let someone comfort you straight to Hell! All paths do not lead to heaven, We can't have our "own truth"! { John 14:6} " Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me."----- Jesus is the only truth we know, and the Jesus is the only path to follow... { 3 John 11} " Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. anyone who does what is evil has not seen God."------- Live life in a way that's pleasing in God's eyes. Ask yourself this question: [ If you were arrested for being a Christian, Would they be able to find enough evidence in your life to convict you?] I hope the answer would be a yes..
That's the book I'm reading at the moment. It mentions Sligo a lot. Also I'm fed up of taking snow photos.
Deriving inspiration from Ekamravan which has been described in ancient texts as the Rasalila Kshetra of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the garden has three impressive platforms (Pindis) made out of laterite and sandstone, for Shiva, Parvati and their son Ganesha, with a mango tree, an amla tree and a bel tree at the centre of each platform, respectively.
A medicinal plant garden built at an estimated cost of Rs 96 lakh was inaugurated beside the Bindusagar lake today.
Ekamravan Mythological Medicinal Plant Garden has 206 species of herbal plants.
. “Even a stroll through this park would rejuvenate the mind and soul,”
Developed by the forest division, the garden embraces elements of Ekamrakshetra mentioned in Ekamrasamhita, Swarnadri and Mohadaya scriptures that were studied diligently before construction began in November 2006. The 180 plants mentioned in the Purans were placed appropriately in the garden.
Visitors to this park would be welcomed by three trees — the mango symbolising Shiv, the amla and bel symbolising Parvati and Ganesh, respectively. While the plants around the mango tree are general medicinal plants, those alongside amla and bel are exclusively meant for women and children. “The main trees would be fed with the water that will flow from the medicinal plant hedge adding to the nutrient value of the water,” explained Mishra.
The park also has two pools — one with lotus and another with water lily in it. The water would be from the Bindusagar Lake. It would also have a music corner — a platform —for programmes.
More than 100 artisans from Raghurajpur and Lalitgiri were hired to complete the work that ran for more than two years. “We have tried to stay true to the architecture of the old town area,” said Anupam Shah, the project director.
The few structures dotting the garden and its boundary wall are of sandstone and laterite — materials used for temples in the old town area of Bhubaneswar.
The boundary wall has carvings depicting Shiv’s stay at Ekamrakshetra.
The Ekamravan Medicinal Plant Garden Society maintains the garden, charging a nominal fee for entry. It also sells saplings of medicinal plants at its nursery.

BIBLICAL CONTEXT: Psalm 55:16-19 NIV
(from biblegateway.com)
16 As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
he will hear them and humble them,
because they have no fear of God.

5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
