Welcome to AllFaith.com and Beit Emunah's AllFaith Community Worship!
We are a community of diverse people from different and unique backgrounds united in the belief that God is REALLY ONE and desires us to be of One Spirit within our diversity.Each of our Sunday gatherings have a different focus. This week: God Will Never Leave You Alone!
Opening Prayer
We begin today with as very energetic confirmation of God's promise to each of us. We will never be left alone.
Come what may GOD is with you, through thick and thin, through the good times and throught the bad times. Through your times of doubt and through all of your knowings.
Seed of Faith Charity Gayle Sometimes we feel alone. There is a difference being alone and being lonely. Sometimes we like to be alone. To comtemplate, to meditate, to get our heads together. But noone enjoys being lonely. Here's a man who is never alone or lonely because he sings his faith in GOD's presence accapella... with himself! Enjoy and know that you are never alone. GOD is always with you. When you feel lonely GOD is there inviting you to divine communion.
Shepherd Me Oh God Franscican Action Network
We can always turn to the Shepherd of our souls who knows and loves us just as we are more than we can beging to imagine. We are never alone because GOD is always with us. Sometimes we all feel so from Home, but in truth, we're never alone.
Wherever you go, through mountaintains or through valleys, along the river or the sea, if you walk in FAITH, knowing that GOD is there with you, then you will never walk your paths alone. Reach out to GOD! God is there!

There are only two essential paths. One is the Path Light, the other is the path darkness. The Path of Light brings lasting joy, the other brings lasting shame. When we walk the Path of Light we are in the presence of GOD. But you may ask, by which religion? I tell you truthfully that there are only two paths: The Path of Light and the path of darkness. The particulars is no important because you are seeking is not out there somewhere, it within you own consciousness. As long as you are walking in the Light according to your present understandings, you are walking in the presence of GOD. If you are doing what you believe in your heart is right, with faith, GOD knows it and will guide you onward step by step. GOD always draws sincere people towards the Light of Love. Your job is to keep walking in the Light of the LORD. If you do, GOD will lead you Home.
God is There Baptist Virtual Ministry
Understand that what is eternal is unconditioned by material reality! What is eternal transcends the temporary. We are conditioned by so many external influences. We are all human, our conditioning determines what type of human we are. This one is male; this one is female. Some say this male is a female, or this female is male. Maya, material illsion, is confusion! This one is Indian, that one American, another Russian, this a Christian, that a Muslim. As people embrace their various social conditionings and false identities, they become less than they were, not more. This is ‘addition that subtracts.’ The more conditioning one adds, the more of the essential self is subtracted.
If I am a Christian and you are not, must I believe God will consign you to eternal damnation even though you may love God according to your understanding? If I am Jewish and you are not, must I believe myself chosen and you unchosen? Must I consider Jews and Christians, Hindus, and others to be infidels destined for Jahannam, Hell, if I am Muslim? Why? Is my being Jewish, or Christian, or Muslim, or Hindu, not enough? And if not, isn’t the lack within my beliefs rather than those of the others I condemn?
“Nothing that is materially conditioned is permanent. A baby does not know its race, religion, or political ideology. What must be learned is temporary. Understanding this leads to what is permanent. Not understanding this, everything appears unsatisfactory.
So, what is permanent?
This is the mystery of life taught by all the masters. Not understanding this mystery is the birth of everything else, including all suffering. How does one find a hidden treasure?”
By seeking.
But where shall we seek?
It would be nice if we had a treasure map wouldn't it?
And we do! We have been given several!
The Bible, and the Dhammapada, the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching, the Guru Granth Sahib, the Tripitaka, the Analects of Confucius, the Avesta, the Agamas, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Liber Linteus, the Odyssey, the Ginza Rabba, and so on and so forth.
How do treasure maps work?
X marks the spot! IF you can find the X! But alas, the map may direct you to a sea that has receded or been redirected since your map was written. Perhaps the map points your way to a palm tree on top of a hill overlooking the sea, but alas, there was a landslide, and the tree fell into the ocean a long time ago, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years.
Does this make the map is worthless? Only if you are prepared to surrender the quest? Even thought so many things have changed, the map is probably still useful, but you may decide to go to a library or an antiquities dealer and supplement it with another map, perhaps a newer one, or one that is more legible, or one that approaches the treasure from the other side of the island.
As lonf as you refuse to surrender your quest for the treasure, will you not take advantage of all the clues you can find?”
Where will you find the treasure? Not at the X. That's simply another clue! Where is the treasure to be found if not within yourself? Have we not agreed that the treasure we seek is not a materially conditioned thing? So while our maps may lead us to an island or a mountain to find the X, where does the X lead us?
Within. Within what? Surely not our conditioned physical bodies because they are impermamanant and will eventually pass away, returing to dust.
The treasure will only be found within our own consciousness. "If that which you seek you do not find within, you will never find it without.’ Where else could it be found?
This is the difference between religion and spirituality. Religions are maps to find the X. Spirituality takes us forward from the X to the treasure! FAITH, Pistas, Shrada... is required to keep seeking and believing that the treasure is there and you can find it! Have faith! Walk by Faith!Walk By Faith Jeremy Camp
Imagine the vastness of the heavens reaching out to Andromeda and beyond. The billions of stars streatching out before, above, and around us endlessly -- All created and maintain by One God. Vastness beyond vastness, eternities beyond eternies and yet... GOD knows my name! GOD knows YOUR name. When we pray God hears. GOD is everwhere and in GOD all things exists, and you exists to bring joy to GOD! There is no one quite like you. And GOD will carry you though when you walk by Faith!
Because of FAITH we stand and because FAITH, when we fall, we get back up. Because of FAITH we walk on. Because of FAITH we refuse to back down before evil. Because of FAITH we refuse to pretend that something is good when we know it's not. Because we know the true with FAITH, we are free!
As has been written:
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings, nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.
As the embodied Soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the Soul also passes into another body at death. A person of understanding is not bewildered by such a change.
Sensory perceptions afflict one with cold, heat, pleasure, and pain. They appear and disappear and so know that they are impermanent. Therefore, endure them all. They are nothing to you.
One who is never distressed, and who remains unaltered in the face of suffering and pleasure and is patient, such a person is eligible for immortality.
Understand that Being does not come from the non-existent, nor does non-being arise from the eternal. This is the considered conclusion of those who see the truth.
Know by Whom all this imperishable is pervaded. The destruction of the eternal Soul is not possible for anyone. All these bodies are perishable, but the eternal embodied Soul is indestructible and immeasurable, therefore do what is required of you, but do not decieved by that which is not permanant.
Anyone who considers the slayer, or anyone who knows the slain, and thinks him the killer or killed lacks discernment. No one slays nor is anyone slain because the Soul is immaterial.
The immutable Soul is never born, nor does it die. At no time did Soul come into being, nor will the Soul come into being hereafter. The Soul is unborn, eternal, permanent, and infinitely ancient. The Soul is not killed when the body is slain.
So how can a person who knows the Soul to be indestructible, eternal, unborn, and immutable, slay anyone or cause another to kill or be killed?
No, just as a person casts off worn-out clothing and accepts new ones, so the embodied Soul discards worn-out bodies and enters different ones.
The Soul cannot be severed by weapons, burned by fire, made wet with water, nor dried by the wind.
The Soul is unbreakable, unburnable. It cannot be made wet or dry. It is eternal and all-pervading, equable, immovable, and eternally constant.
Understand that the Soul is unmanifested, without material form. It is inconceivable and unchanging. Therefore, knowing the Soul to be thus, you should not lament. Even if you conclude that the Soul is constantly born and eternally dying, even then, you still ought not to lament. For those who are born, death is certain, and for those who die, birth is certain. For the sake of the inevitable, you should not lament.
Try to understand this: All beings are unmanifested in the beginning, manifested in the middle, and again unmanifested in the end. So where is the cause for lamentation?
