Question: I am greatly utilizing 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice book and CDs. They are life changing!  I desire to learn to become still.  In the Bible, Elisha used music to enter God's presence.  I believe the music allowed Elisha to become still so he could fix his eyes on the Lord, and tune to flow to hear God's voice.  I believe sound will do the same for me.  I have done some searching on the web for sound files for meditation. Is there anything you can recommend?

Question from a Searching Pastor: Several in my congregation have asked, “Where in the Scriptures are we told to ‘picture’ or visualize Jesus, since both 2 Corinthians 5:6, 7 and 1 Peter 1: 7, 8 say that we don’t see Jesus?" Obviously Hebrews talks about "'fixing our eyes on Jesus" but what does that mean?  Any advice you can give will be much appreciated.

The following 10 Temperament Commandments were developed by Uta Milewski, a dear friend, and Chief Executive Assistant to the lead pastor, Ron Burgio, in our church in Buffalo. She offers a wonderful counseling service based on understanding your temperament which we highly recommend. As a result of this course, a divorced couple is getting back together again. Praise God!
