There is great hope for any church that worships the living God, validates the brotherhood and

sisterhood of all human beings, and dares to remove all creedal pressure from its members.

[UB: 103:5.12]

Our modern churches are

plagued with a culture of uniformity

of beliefs that limit congregations and turn

Sunday mornings the most segregated time of all.

When a member of a social religious group has complied with the requirements of such a group, he or she should be encouraged to enjoy religious liberty in the full expression of their own personal interpretation of the truths of religious belief and the facts of religious experience. The security of a religious group depends on spiritual unity, not on theological uniformity. A religious group should be able to enjoy the liberty of freethinking without having to become “freethinkers.”  [UB: 103:5.12]

There have been ruminations

describing the differences between

spiritual unity and religious uniformity.

The greatest hope of modern Christianity is the

recognition of this dichotomous division, and many

progressive churches foster a moderate theology that is

an embracing and tolerating inclusion of human diversity.

This is a highly positive development that may become

a foundation of the acceptance of universal reality.

For indeed, most now believe that this world

is neither flat nor is it the only planet

inhabited by the Children of God. 

For we are now the beneficiaries

of the Star Trek generation.

This is a great hope if our

younger generations

take up their call

and boldly go

where so many

have gone before

in their universal service.

The kindom is calling us all to serve.

There is great hope in worship and fellowship.

On other worlds, as well as on Urantia, this sublime spectacle of the death of the human Jesus on the cross of Golgotha has stirred the emotions of mortals, while it has aroused the highest devotion of the angels.

MASTER OF PAIN by Kato Pare

We call our home---The Universe, which is a giant University. On all levels there is spiritual development. And we evolutionary physical human beings are tied to the great centipede of our blood lineage tribes that go all the way back to Andon and Fonta, the Nodites as well as Adam and Eve. Everything good or bad that has been done by humans, using their free will, is still in the ethers. The things we all did that caused each other pain and suffering, set up eternal consequences that eventually have to be balanced out on the scales of eternal justice.

On this Earth, The World of The Cross, where our Creator Son endured the most pain and suffering, as a Master of Self----we must, in order to become His Disciple of Heavenly Love----go through our own, trials and tribulations in the attainment of wisdom just like Job. We must master this strength of character so that we can be called one of His own. Sometimes it seems that the pain never ends, and all of our pleas seem to go unanswered. But when we keep a steady Faith, all through the Earth Test, we eventually come out the other end, to receive our diploma of Master of life and all of its tribulations. With this diploma, we can instinctively know another's pain, and we can soothe them, give them hope, and show them the way to the Son-Light. So, embrace your pain, for victims we are not. Conquer your body so that there are no footholds for evil to climb on.

Purity of Heart is our goal. Awareness of our Divine Spirit, the Quest. Fusion with The Heavenly kingdom, an end to this journey on The Ascension Road, and into the arms of The Universal Father.

It is such a tragedy when the iniquitous ones have reached that point -------153:4.3 Then said Jesus: “How can Satan cast out Satan? A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand; if a house be divided against itself, it is soon brought to desolation. Can a city withstand a siege if it is not united? If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? But you should know that no one can enter into the house of a strong man and despoil his goods except he first overpower and bind that strong man. And so, if I by the power of Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be your judges. But if I, by the spirit of God, cast out devils, then has the kingdom of God truly come upon you. If you were not blinded by prejudice and misled by fear and pride, you would easily perceive that one who is greater than devils stands in your midst. You compel me to declare that he who is not with me is against me, while he who gathers not with me scatters abroad. Let me utter a solemn warning to you who would presume, with your eyes open and with premeditated malice, knowingly to ascribe the works of God to the doings of devils! Verily, verily, I say to you, all your sins shall be forgiven, even all of your blasphemies, but whosoever shall blaspheme against God with deliberation and wicked intention shall never obtain forgiveness. Since such persistent workers of iniquity will never seek nor receive forgiveness they are guilty of the sin of eternally rejecting divine forgiveness.

  ^143:2.1 The Master was a perfected specimen of human self-control. When he was reviled, he reviled not; when he suffered, he uttered no threats against his tormentors; when he was denounced by his enemies, he simply committed himself to the righteous judgment of the Father in heaven.

  ^143:2.2 At one of the evening conferences, Andrew asked Jesus: "Master, are we to practice self-denial as John taught us, or are we to strive for the self-control of your teaching? Wherein does your teaching differ from that of John?" Jesus answered: "John indeed taught you the way of righteousness in accordance with the light and laws of his fathers, and that was the religion of self-examination and self-denial. But I come with a new message of self-forgetfulness and self-control. I show to you the way of life as revealed to me by my Father in heaven.

^143:2.3 "Verily, verily, I say to you, he who rules his own self is greater than he who captures a city. Self-mastery is the measure of man's moral nature and the indicator of his spiritual development. In the old order you fasted and prayed; as the new creature of the rebirth of the spirit, you are taught to believe and rejoice. In the Father's kingdom you are to become new creatures; old things are to pass away; behold I show you how all things are to become new. And by your love for one another you are to convince the world that you have passed from bondage to liberty, from death into life everlasting.

 

  ^143:2.4 "By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first transformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not -- it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit's transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bondslaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit. The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.

  ^143:2.5 "Many times, when you have done evil, you have thought to charge up your acts to the influence of the evil one when in reality you have but been led astray by your own natural tendencies. Did not the Prophet Jeremiah long ago tell you that the human heart is deceitful above all things and sometimes even desperately wicked? How easy for you to become self-deceived and thereby fall into foolish fears, divers lusts, enslaving pleasures, malice, envy, and even vengeful hatred!

  ^143:2.6 "Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh. You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father's children who have been born of the spirit are ever and always masters of the self and all that pertains to the desires of the flesh. When you know that you are saved by faith, you have real peace with God. And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal God. Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in the love of God.

  ^143:2.7 "Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear. Your joy is born of trust in the divine word, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father's love and mercy. It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance. Your secret of the mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling spirit, which ever works by love. Even this saving faith you have not of yourselves; it also is the gift of God. And if you are the children of this living faith, you are no longer the bondslaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God.

 

  ^143:2.8 "If, then, my children, you are born of the spirit, you are forever delivered from the self-conscious bondage of a life of self-denial and watchcare over the desires of the flesh, and you are translated into the joyous kingdom of the spirit, whence you spontaneously show forth the fruits of the spirit in your daily lives; and the fruits of the spirit are the essence of the highest type of enjoyable and ennobling self-control, even the heights of terrestrial mortal attainment -- true self-mastery."

  ^28:6.13 4. The Solemnity of Trust. Trust is the crucial test of will creatures. Trustworthiness is the true measure of self-mastery, character. These seconaphim accomplish a double purpose in the economy of the superuniverses: They portray to all will creatures the sense of the obligation, sacredness, and solemnity of trust. At the same time they unerringly reflect to the governing authorities the exact trustworthiness of any candidate for confidence or trust.

  ^91:4.5 Remember, even if prayer does not change God, it very often effects great and lasting changes in the one who prays in faith and confident expectation. Prayer has been the ancestor of much peace of mind, cheerfulness, calmness, courage, self-mastery, and fair-mindedness in the men and women of the evolving races.

  ^31:4.1 Many of the faithful seraphic guardians of mortals are permitted to go through the ascendant career with their human wards, and many of these guardian angels, after becoming Father fused, join their subjects in taking the finaliter oath of eternity and forever accept the destiny of their mortal associates. Angels who pass through the ascending experience of mortal beings may share the destiny of human nature; they may equally and eternally be mustered into this Corps of the Finality. Large numbers of the adopted and glorified seraphim are attached to the various nonmortal finaliter corps.

 God’s reactions are always those of divine affection.

“‘God is love’; therefore his only personal attitude towards the affairs of the universe is always a reaction of divine affection. The Father loves us sufficiently to bestow his life upon us. ‘He makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.’” (38.6) 2:5.1 1 John 4:8.

True and dynamic love comes from God.

“All true love is from God, and man receives the divine affection as he himself bestows this love upon his fellows. Love is dynamic. It can never be captured; it is alive, free, thrilling, and always moving. Man can never take the love of the Father and imprison it within his heart. The Father’s love can become real to mortal man only by passing through that man’s personality as he in turn bestows this love upon his fellows.” (1289.3) 117:6.10

“The great circuit of love is from the Father, through sons to brothers, and hence to the Supreme. The love of the Father appears in the mortal personality by the ministry of the indwelling Adjuster. Such a God-knowing son reveals this love to his universe brethren, and this fraternal affection is the essence of the love of the Supreme.” (1289.3) 117:6.10

DOWNLOAD COUNTRY BRIEF

A land-locked country in East Africa, Uganda produces more food than it consumes. Yet, poverty still limits people’s access to nutritious food, especially in the north and east of the country.  Read More>>>

We are mobilizing to avert famine here in Uganda. This project is located near Lake Nakuwa in Kaliro district, Buyuge and Buwumba Village.

This is being proactive other than being reactive. Last year when  our country lost a good number of citizens due to famine, we I did want to help many of them but we couldn't as we had limited funding.

We decided this time round to prepare for the coming months which are expected to be worse, by planting a few seeds we have during this rainy season! 

Our target is covering 10 acres of land as the harvest from this will help us reach out to hundreds of needy people with a handful of food and other items. We humbly request that you give us a hand so we can purchase better seeds as we prepare for the worst predicted to happen in the future if something is not done!

Baobab on a greater magnitude agitates for the need of acquiring knowledge and skills through education of children and therefore it’s upon such background that the foundation embarked on recruiting needy families as beneficiaries to foster continuity of school going children who really can’t sustain their education and genuinely need a helping hand plus also improve the welfare of homes where the children come from.

During the exercise, the team managed to recruit a number of families into the foundation, these families provided the team with detailed information concerning their backgrounds , daily activities (sources of income), welfare and struggles; both them and their children. This information helped the team to come up with data for reference in accordance to the organization’s goals and objectives. Continue reading>>>
