“Think not, with the weakling, that nothing is more precious, nor, with the hermit, that you should reject it. Think not too highly of it, nor consider it worthless. Love it not for itself or for what you can get out of it, but for what you can do with it.

“Forget not that life has but one purpose, one end and one objective, and that is the awakening of the souls of men. All things on Earth conform to that end. Earth without its perplexities and problems, its struggle and strife, its inequalities and injustices, would never develop the soul in a manner meet for its destiny. This is the answer to the riddle of ages. If all were right with the Earth, there would be nothing for man to do; as it is, there is sufficient to occupy him throughout his generations. When man himself is perfect, its purpose will be fulfilled, and then Earth, too, will be perfect.

“Riches cannot buy life, nor can gold purchase back wasted hours. Therefore, employ the future that you have left to your greatest benefit. Lament not that you were born or desire that life should depart. Life has a purpose and meaning, even for one as miserable as you, and the Law

may not be set aside.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:4:12-14)

Think not like the Weakling or the Hermit

I don’t think it is true that a weakling thinks love is more precious than anything else. Nor is it true that the hermit thinks love is worthless. The weakling is actually more likely to think that love is unimportant, while a hermit may value love greatly, despite being a loner.

Life Has One Purpose

Actually, we can’t say that life in the physical realm has a purpose at all. It isn’t where God wants us to be. It isn’t where we belong. It is true that we need to develop our spirit and soul so that we can eventually go to Heaven,

Perplexities and Problems

It is true that the problems, inequalities, and injustices on earth help us develop the strength we need to develop our spiritual faculties. The demons and devils of darkness try to prevent us from developing our spiritual faculties, so we need to develop the strength to resist them.

When Man is Perfect

It is true that when man is perfect, the world will be perfect also. Now that we are in the End Times, God is slowly changing the world into a spiritual world, which is the only kind of world that can be perfect. As the world changes, humans must change with it, or die, because when the world becomes sufficiently spiritual, physical beings will not be able to exist in it.

Riches cannot Buy Life

It is true that riches can’t buy life, but you wouldn’t think so by the way some try to constantly gain more and more wealth. In a way, this is understandable, because no matter how much wealth they have, they feel something is missing. They don’t realize it is spiritual development, not more wealth.

Love

Love is the one thing that can help all of us. God’s love for us. Our love for God. Our Love for each other. Even our love for animals. All forms of love help the world grow better and closer to God.

The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are dwarf satellite galaxies orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. Visible with the unaided eye from the Southern Hemisphere, these galaxies appear serene neighbors in southern skies.

But new research says the gravitational pull from the Large Magellanic Cloud is actually ripping the Small Magellanic Cloud apart.

The bi-annual luncheon of the Nevada Interfaith Association (NIA) was held Wednesday, July 15, 2026. The event was hosted by the Reno Buddhist Center. In attendance from the International Community of Christ was Bishop Gene Savoy Jr.

Rajan Zed of the Universal Society of Hinduism conducted the meeting. Resident Priest of the Buddhist Center Rev. Shelley Fisher delivered the welcome message. Rev. Toni King of the Unity Center of Reno delivered the invocation. NIA president Rev. Matthew Fisher delivered the presentation “NIA – How we do interfaith.” Fr. Chuck Durante discussed NIA membership, and Dr. Bradley Corbin delivered a Baha’i prayer of benediction.

The luncheon has been a biannual event held since 1999. The meeting provides a venue for the coming together of interfaith members, clergy, human services organizations and at times government. Hosting rotates among various congregations and non-profit facilities in the region.

NIA is a non-profit interfaith network of religious and spiritual leaders in Nevada. Programs include the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service, the interfaith Nevada Prayer Breakfast, the Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Eve Service, and the biannual interfaith luncheons.

Bishop Gene Savoy, Jr. led the Nevada Interfaith Association (formerly the Nevada Clergy Association) as its president from 1999-2017.

Yin and Yang fantasy with the angels on the clouds

“There is no constant state of life; all is movement and change. Therefore, it is well to build the structure of your life on a foundation of things, which are not easily removed. These are wisdom, skill, and knowledge, which once possessed cannot be taken away, as can hoarded gold and cherished chattels in the ebb and flow of life’s fortunes. Gold and silver are uneatable stones, but wisdom is the food of the gods. Skill and knowledge define the difference between the ox with the yoke and the plowman with the whip.

“Fear not the feelings which stir in the heart, for therein lie the greatest of life’s treasures. Taste their honeyed bitterness, and though you are consumed as you consume, something will remain, which is yours forever. Life is matured and mellowed by the treasures, which pain the heart, and without them, the soul cannot develop.

“With some, life is generous and with others niggardly, but whether you pass through the stages of life in a lowly or a high condition, your life will be neither wholly happy nor wholly miserable.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:4:5-7)

No Constant State

Nothing in life is constant, although many think otherwise. Everything is always changing and moving. Even things like rocks change all the time. Wind, rain, and other conditions cause change in rocks that may be too small to notice, but happen anyway. An extreme example is the Grand Canyon, which was created by a river wearing away the rock over many centuries.

Build a Foundation

The quote advises us to build a foundation on things that are not easily removed. The only “things” that meet that criteria are our spiritual faculties. That is another reason to awaken and develop those faculties. Only the spiritual is permanent. While some like to claim that matter is permanent, they are wrong. Matter is constantly changing form. And now that we are in the End Times, God is gradually changing matter into spirit, as it was always meant to be. Wisdom and Knowledge are indeed important and cannot be taken away, but true Wisdom and Knowledge is spiritual.

Skill and Knowledge

Knowledge, and skills do define the difference between Man and animals. So do Wisdom and Truth. As the quote indicates, one can have huge amounts of silver and gold, yet that doesn’t save him from decay and death. Only developing the Spirit can do that.

Life is Matured

Life is matured and mellowed by the true treasures which are spiritual, but the quote is wrong in saying these things pain the heart and consume us to some degree. The soul is developed by spiritual disciplines, not by earthly things.
