Lloyd's Second Trip to Israel: Heart-to-Heart - Reflections of a Peace Ambassador      Events were set in motion when, in mid-November of 2003, an urgent call went out to all those connected to the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace (IIFWP) to participate as volunteers in a three-week mobilization in the Holy Land of Israel. The purpose was to advance the Middle-East peace process centering on a great Peace Rally to be held on December 22 in Israel. The underlying idea was that peace would not come through political or military means but that there is also a religious and spiritual side of the peace equation; that religion, at its best, brings man outside of himself and the confines of his nationality to see the brotherhood and oneness of all people as God's children. The goal was to tap in to these powerful currents and direct them toward solving the problem.

Like many boys of my generation, I had a carefree childhood enjoying the great outdoors. After graduating from a small rural high school, I went to a local teacher's college to study art for two years. During this time I began seriously to consider the "big questions" of life and got involved in numerous "spiritual" conversations and activities with like-minded souls. I also began to study guitar and write songs. More >>		Introduction to the Divine Principle Everyone is struggling to attain happiness and avoid misfortune.

We can know it through observing the Creation. Just as the work of an artist is a visible manifestation of its maker's invisible nature, every being in the Creation is a substantial manifestation of the invisible nature of God, its Creator.

But fallen people are unconsciously driven by an evil force to commit evil acts, contrary to the desires of their original mind. In Christianity, the one who controls this evil force is known as Satan. This chapter, "The Fall," makes clear the identity of Satan and the origin of evil.

Salvation is restoration: to save a drowning person is to rescue him and restore him to the state he was in before he began to drown. God's salvation of man means God's restoration of fallen and sinful man to his original state of goodness -- to the position where he can fulfill the Purpose of the Creation. Click to download the audio of the Mission of the Messiah lecture (MP3) Resurrection As people of faith we must accept the Prophesies of God. On the other hand, given the modern state of our knowledge, they do not make rational sense. This brings great confusion to the Christian faith. Therefore, it is important that we elucidate the true meaning of the Resurrection. Click to play the audio of the Resurrection lecture (MP3) The Second Advent Jesus clearly foretold of his return. Yet it has been commonly thought unwise to speculate about the date, place and manner of the Second Advent. In Amos 3:7, however, we read, "Surely the Lord God does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets." On that day, God, who knows the day and hour, will surely reveal all secrets about the Second Coming to His prophets before He carries out His work.

They highlight the original principles of life, with concrete practical directions for the realization of a world of peace, and reveal recent providential history among nations.
