1. CONSENT You should never force your spouse into having sex. Both of you need to consent to it each time even as a married couple. Don't be the person who offends your spouse and demands sex when your spouse is hurting. 2. CONSCIENCE Whatever sexual position you two do, whatever location where you two have sex; both your conscience should be OK with it. Don't force your spouse to do things that disturb the conscience. 3. MUTUAL ENJOYMENT It is not just about your sexual pleasure, both of you have to enjoy it. As your spouse makes you feel good, make him/her feel good too. 4. pre-intimacy pre-intimacy is not just the touching, licking and rubbing before intercourse; but also treating each other special when sex is not the agenda. This makes your spouse feel your good treatment is not a tactic to get sex, but genuine love. 5. HINDPLAY Hindplay is treating each other special after the climax. This involves cuddles, kind words, prayer, compliments and acts of service. 6. HYGIENE Sex being an exchange and mixing of body fluids and collision of bodies; maintain good hygiene. Brush your teeth, shower, wash your vagina well, wash your penis well, wash your butt area well to prevent foul smell, change inner wear, keep your finger nails clean, keep the bedroom clean, smell good. This encourages intimacy. 7. CREATIVITY It is called love making because you are creating. Avoid monotony, create new memories. 8. COMMUNICATION Communicate how you want your spouse to please you; don't suffer in silence and assume your spouse knows. Make requests how you want it. Communicate when it is painful. Communicate when you are made love too well. Moan to encourage your spouse to do it right. 9. CONNECTION When love making is done right, you two will connect better and deeper as a couple.

Buddhism **Sermon Title: "True Power Lies in the Dharma"** **Anchor Teaching: Dhammapada Verse 1** *"Mind is the forerunner of all things; all things are mind-made. Speak or act with an impure mind, and suffering follows. Speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves."* --- ### **Introduction: The World’s Illusion of Power** We live in a world obsessed with power—wealth, status, control. Yet, the Buddha taught that clinging to such transient things only deepens suffering. Today, we explore the true power of the Dharma: the liberation from ignorance, craving, and the cycles of *samsara*. --- ### **1. The Illusion of Worldly Power** Worldly power is impermanent and hollow. Reflect on: - **King Ajatasattu’s Ambition**: He seized his father’s throne, yet his guilt and paranoia haunted him (Digha Nikaya 2). Even as a ruler, he confessed to the Buddha, *“My mind is not at peace.”* - **The Wealthy Merchant Anathapindika**: Though rich, he understood true fulfillment came from generosity and virtue, not gold (Vinaya Pitaka). **Reflection**: The Buddha taught, *“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth”* (Dhammapada 204). Where do we invest our energy—in fleeting gains or enduring truths? --- ### **2. The True Power of the Dharma** The Dharma is the ultimate refuge, offering liberation through wisdom (*paññā*), ethics (*sīla*), and mental discipline (*samādhi*): - **The Four Noble Truths**: They reveal the path from suffering (*dukkha*) to liberation. As the Buddha said, *“I teach one thing: suffering and the end of suffering”* (Samyutta Nikaya 22.86). - **The Story of Angulimala**: Once a murderer, he transformed through the Dharma, becoming an arahant. His redemption shows *“no one is beyond the reach of compassion”* (Majjhima Nikaya 86). - **The Law of Karma**: True power lies not in domination, but in intentional actions (*sankhara*) that shape our destiny. *“All beings are the owners of their karma”* (Anguttara Nikaya 5.57). **Contrast**: Worldly power breeds attachment (*upādāna*); the Dharma’s power frees us. As the Buddha taught, *“Better than sovereignty over the earth is the fruit of stream-entry”* (Dhammapada 178). --- ### **3. Cultivating Inner Power Through Practice** How do we embody the Dharma’s power? - **Mindfulness (*sati*)**: Practice *vipassana* to see reality as it is. *“Meditate, do not delay, lest you later regret it”* (Dhammapada 315). - **Compassion (*karuṇā*)**: Like Kisagotami, who overcame grief by realizing impermanence (*anicca*), we transform suffering into wisdom (Therigatha 10.1). - **Ethical Living (*sīla*)**: Follow the Five Precepts, for *“virtue is the foundation of the Dharma”* (Itivuttaka 27). **Practical Steps**: - **Daily Meditation**: Sit with the breath, observing the mind’s power to create peace or chaos. - **Study the Suttas**: Internalize teachings like the Metta Sutta on loving-kindness. - **Serve the Sangha**: Support others on the path, embodying *sangha* as refuge. --- ### **Conclusion: Liberation in Letting Go** The Dharma’s power lies not in control, but in release. As the Buddha said, *“Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present. Crossing to the far shore, dwell with a mind freed from clinging”* (Samyutta Nikaya 1.1). When we relinquish illusions of power, we awaken to *Nibbana*—the deathless, unshakable freedom. **Closing Dedication**: *“By the merit of this practice, may all beings be free from suffering. May we cultivate wisdom, embody compassion, and realize the true power of the Dharma. Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā.”* --- **Final Reflection**: As the Dhammapada reminds us, *“Irrigators channel water; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters shape wood. The wise master themselves”* (Verse 80). True power is not over others—it is the mastery of one’s own mind. --- *Benediction*: *“May all beings be happy. May all beings be free. May all beings realize the peace of Nibbana.”* |
Islamic **Sermon Title: "Power Belongs to Allah Alone"** **Anchor Verse: Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255** *"Allah—there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth..."* --- ### **Introduction: The Delusion of Dunya vs. the Reality of Divine Power** We live in a world obsessed with power—wealth, status, armies, and technology. Yet, the Qur’an resounds with the ultimate truth: *"To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth"* (Surah Al-Imran 3:189). Today, we will dismantle the falsehood of human arrogance, affirm Allah’s absolute power, and learn to submit to His supreme authority. --- ### **1. The Frailty of Human Power: Lessons from Arrogance** Human power is transient and illusory. Reflect on: - **Firaun (Pharaoh)**: He claimed, *"I am your most exalted lord!"* (Surah An-Nazi’at 79:24). Yet, Allah drowned him and his armies in the sea, proving *"Allah is the Best of Planners"* (Surah Al-Imran 3:54). - **Qarun (Korah)**: Boasting his wealth, he forgot it was a test from Allah. The earth swallowed him and his treasures (Surah Al-Qasas 28:76-82). **Reflection**: Wealth, status, and influence are tests, not entitlements. As Allah warns, *"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be fully compensated on the Day of Resurrection"* (Surah Al-Imran 3:185). Where does your heart truly rely? --- ### **2. The Absolute Power of Allah: Creator, Sustainer, and Sovereign** Allah’s power is limitless, eternal, and unmatched: - **In Creation**: *"Indeed, His command, when He wills a thing, is only to say, ‘Be,’ and it is!"* (Surah Ya-Sin 36:82). The heavens, stars, and life itself exist by His decree. - **In Control**: He splits the sea for Musa (Moses) (Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:63), humbles mountains to dust, and turns hearts as He wills (Surah Al-Imran 3:26). - **In Mercy and Justice**: He forgives sins (Surah Az-Zumar 39:53), answers the oppressed (Surah An-Naml 27:62), and *"is never unjust to His servants"* (Surah Al-Imran 3:182). **Contrast**: Human power corrupts; Allah’s power perfects. Human strength oppresses; Allah’s strength liberates. As the Prophet ﷺ said, *"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness. He gives for gentleness what He does not give for harshness"* (Sahih Muslim). --- ### **3. Submission to Divine Power: Trusting Allah in Every Trial** How do we align our lives with this truth? - **Tawakkul (Reliance)**: *"And whoever relies upon Allah—He is sufficient for him"* (Surah At-Talaq 65:3). Surrender your plans to Him, as Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) did when thrown into the fire: *"Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs"* (Surah Al-Imran 3:173). - **Humility**: Like Bilal (RA), who endured torture but declared, *"Ahadun Ahad!"* (Allah is One). True power is in unwavering faith, not worldly status. - **Action with Trust**: Fight injustice, seek knowledge, and build wealth—but always with the awareness that success comes only by Allah’s will (Surah Al-Anfal 8:17). **Practical Steps**: - **Salah**: Connect daily with the Source of Power. - **Dua**: Beg Allah in weakness, as the Prophet ﷺ taught: *"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness..."* (Bukhari). - **Qur’anic Reflection**: Internalize verses of Allah’s power (e.g., Ayat al-Kursi). - **Community**: Uphold justice, support the oppressed, and remind one another: *"La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah"* (There is no power nor strength except with Allah). --- ### **Conclusion: Liberation Through Tawhid** When we internalize *"Power belongs to Allah alone,"* we free ourselves from the chains of fear, greed, and arrogance. As Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said, *"The heart finds peace only in the remembrance of Allah."* Let us anchor our lives in His sovereignty, for *"Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good"* (Surah An-Nahl 16:128). **Closing Dua**: *"O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty! You grant sovereignty to whom You will and strip it from whom You will. You honor whom You will and humble whom You will. In Your Hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things Competent. Make us among those who rely on You, humble themselves to You, and witness Your power in every atom of creation. Ameen."* --- **Final Reminder**: As the Qur’an declares: *"So remember Me; I will remember you"* (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:152). In every struggle, turn to Allah—the All-Powerful, the Ever-Merciful. --- *Benediction*: *"And to Allah belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth, and to Him will [all] matters be returned. So worship Him and rely upon Him..."* (Surah Hud 11:123). |
Christian **Sermon Title: "Power Belongs to God"** **Anchor Scripture: Psalm 62:11** *"One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: 'Power belongs to you, God…'"* --- ### **Introduction: The World’s Definition vs. God’s Reality** We live in a world obsessed with power—political clout, financial empires, social influence. Yet, Scripture declares a profound truth: *“Power belongs to God”* (Psalm 62:11). Today, we’ll dismantle the illusion of human power, marvel at the supremacy of God’s power, and learn to anchor our lives in His sovereignty. --- ### **1. The Illusion of Human Power** Human power is fleeting. Consider: - **Pharaoh’s Arrogance** (Exodus 5-14): He enslaved Israel, boasting, “Who is the Lord that I should obey Him?” Yet, God humbled him with plagues and parted seas. - **Nebuchadnezzar’s Pride** (Daniel 4): The king gloried in his empire until God stripped his sanity, teaching him that “the Most High rules over all kingdoms” (Daniel 4:25). **Application**: Wealth, status, and influence are temporary. Like grass, they wither (Isaiah 40:7- . Where are you placing your trust? --- ### **2. The Reality of God’s Power** God’s power is eternal, creative, and redemptive: - **In Creation**: He spoke galaxies into being (Genesis 1:3). The same power sustains the universe today (Colossians 1:17). - **In Redemption**: At the cross, Christ’s resurrection shattered sin and death (Romans 1:16). Lazarus’ revival (John 11) previews His life-giving authority. - **In Sovereignty**: He directs history (Proverbs 21:1) and works *all things* for good (Romans 8:28), even suffering. **Contrast**: Unlike worldly power (selfish, oppressive), God’s power is *compassionate* (He heals), *just* (He defends the weak), and *sacrificial* (Philippians 2:5- . --- ### **3. The Call to Trust: Living in God’s Power** How do we respond? - **Surrender**: “Humble yourselves before the Lord” (James 4:10). Admit your limitations. - **Rely on His Strength**: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). - **Act in Obedience**: Like David facing Goliath, move forward *in God’s might* (1 Samuel 17:47). **Practical Steps**: - Pray with dependence (Philippians 4:6-7). - Study Scripture to know His character (Psalm 119:105). - Community: Encourage others to lean on Him (Ecclesiastes 4:12). --- ### **Conclusion: The Peace of God’s Power** God’s power isn’t a distant force—it’s a present refuge. When chaos reigns, remember: *“The Lord is the stronghold of my life”* (Psalm 27:1). Let go of self-reliance. Cling to the One who holds the stars and holds your heart. **Closing Prayer**: *“Lord, we confess our tendency to trust in fleeting strength. Forgive us. Teach us to rest in Your power, to seek Your face, and to live boldly for Your glory. Amen.”* --- **Final Thought**: As the hymn says, *“A Mighty Fortress is Our God.”* In Him, we find unshakable power and peace. Go forth in His strength! --- *Benediction*: *“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory…”* (Ephesians 3:20-21). |
