Some of you may have read the short story “Genesis and Catastrophe” written by Roald Dahl. It’s about the birth of a boy. After he is born, a conversation takes place between the mother and the doctor. She is so worried! Continue reading A twist in the story

INFINITY
Have you ever wondered about infinity? To me, this is one of the most intriguing things to talk about. I will jump to the conclusion of my article right at the beginning: the reason we can’t figure God out, is because the human mind can’t grasp the concept of infinity. Continue reading INFINITY
It’s a lie that money can’t buy happiness
A friend of mine told me a few weeks ago that some people in his village got into serious difficulty. It was a couple with a young, one year old boy. The wife was unable to work due to some sickness she’d been having for a while. The husband just got a job after being unemployed for a long time. Continue reading It’s a lie that money can’t buy happiness
Jesus – Prosperous or Poor?
by László Balogh
I hear of so many discussions and arguments about how to fix the world. Which way of governance, what type of economic system is the best? Conservative, liberal, capitalist, socialist? People can get very heated over these issues. We have seen all of these political and economic approaches in operation in the past, but somehow they all get shipwrecked on the way. There is always something that corrupts the process. Somehow we just don’t get them to work as they’re supposed to. Why is that?
PRO-THIS, ANTI-THAT
by László Balogh
I find it more and more true that we live in an increasingly polarized world. There is so much division over almost every issue. There are artificially created boxes people are being put in depending on their views, opinions and beliefs.
GOD SHOULD HAVE INTERVENED
by László Balogh
Just recently I watched an interview with a Christian pastor. He was being asked some weighty questions and at one point the interviewer said he just couldn’t understand that something as horrible as the holocaust happened and God didn’t stop it. How can God allow such evil?
NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE NEW AGE

SUMMARY OF CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS
According to New Age philosophy, Christ is an inward state of awareness and divine being that can be accessed by each person. Christ is ultimately who we are, and our true nature is union with God. Christ is a nature we tap into in our purest, formless state of being. Christ consciousness is a state of realizing that one is as Christ was – unified with God. So, Jesus actually became Christ by realizing that he was God at his innermost core. Therefore we are all God, we just haven’t realized it yet.
GOD HATES RELIGION
by László Balogh
Have you ever loved somebody deeply and intimately? A mate, a parent, a child? Now, that is a perfect sample of what our relationship with God should be. Jesus actually said that we shouldn’t call anybody father, because our real Father is in Heaven. That is not to disrespect our earthly parents, but to understand that we have a heavenly Father who loves us more than any earthly person can.
A BIT ON PSYCHOLOGY
by László Balogh
I think many of us have seen the famous movie “Good Will Hunting”. The story is about a young man (Will – Matt Damon), who is a math genius, very intelligent, yet he is incapable of certain social functions. The reason for that is that he was physically abused as a child by his foster father, which left him with a lot of emotional pain. As a result he carried a lot of guilt, shame and the blame for what he has become. A turning point in the story is when his psychologist
No, You’re Not Mad At God
by László Balogh
Truth is a very interesting thing. What is truth? Or better yet, what is your perception of truth? Those two can be a totally different thing actually. We usually don’t think about not being right, I guess we all think we’re right about most things. But when it comes to God, this should be a little different. What I mean is that you really have to know God very well to say that you are right about what He’s like.
