"If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ." - Rev. Benjamin Cremer #Christianity #celticchristianity #prayer #faith #tiktok

The flower woke me from a deep slumber! This is the picture of the Treasure Flower I took this morning at my home, and it has not been edited. The natural colours blend harmoniously with each other.

Though Thailand is generally considered a Theravada Buddhist country, Hinduism has long played a prominent role. In reality, Thailand’s common "Buddhist" religion is a mixed bag of Buddhism, Hinduism, and spirit worship. #Thailand #buddhism #hinduism #erawanshrine #worship #prayer #dancer #religion

A Thai dancer clasps her hands together in a prayer-like fashion. She is dancing at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok. The Erawan Shrine is a Hindu shrine in Bangkok, Thailand, that houses a statue of Phra Phrom, the Thai representation of the Hindu creation god Brahma. The dancers are paid not only to accompany present prayers but are also often hired in gratitude for an earlier favour that devotees believe the shrine granted before.

When someone pours so much goodness into the world the world should pour out its prayers. Dolly Parton embodies kindness joy and love and I am asking all who care to join me in prayer for her strength and healing. 🕊️🙏 #PrayersForDolly #DollyParton #prayer #legend #kindness

Seated figure terracotta, pigment c. 900-1300 CE Middle Niger culture Mali #art #sculpture #africanart #tribalart #ancientart #africa #mali #middlenigerculture #c13thcentury #seatedfigure #jennejeno #culture #belief #religion #prayer #africansculpture #ancientafricanart #middlenigersculpture

This haunting figure huddles with its leg hugged to its chest and its head dropped on its knee. It simultaneously suggests the knotted tension of anxiety and the sublime absorption of deep prayer. Created over 700 years ago, in the Inland Niger Delta region of present-day Mali, this elegant work's intense emotional immediacy blurs the boundaries of time and place.
This terracotta sculpture comes from a site called Jenne-jeno, the oldest known city in sub-Saharan Africa. Jenne-jeno flourished in the ninth century A.D., but declined and was abandoned by 1400. Items of cast brass and forged iron, clay vessels, and figures like this one survive. They testify to what scholars contend was a richly varied and highly sophisticated urban society.
A few controlled archaeological digs provide only the vaguest outlines of the original significance of the art of this time and region. Recovered terracotta figures are frequently quite detailed. They include jewelry, clothing, and body ornaments such as the parallel columns of bumps and circles on the back of this work. Sometimes they cover the entire body and seem to represent the pustules of some dreadful illness.
The Middle Niger culture represents one of West Africa's oldest and most unique urban civilizations, flourishing in the Inland Niger Delta of Mali from roughly 250 BCE to the 13th century CE. Centered around sites like Djenné-Djenno, the society was defined by decentralized, peaceful urbanism and specialized trade.
Unlike many ancient civilizations, the Middle Niger cities (composed of clusters of disjointed mounds) were not governed by a coercive state, kings, or powerful elites. Power was shared among corporate and kin groups in a decentralized ("heterarchical") structure.

Just as the body is dead without breath, also #faith without good works is dead James 2:26 There is no doubt belief is fueled by faith and #prayer, but action is also what makes one's belief come to pass and #grow. Otherwise, it is like planting seeds without water! ✝️ #LOVE #Leadership #Truth
