Jesus used a forgiving heart to free himself from the resentment and bitterness allowing us to move forward with peace. 2. “You will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) Practical Application: Every individual is entitled to the hope and promise of eternal life. It reminds us to trust in the promise of a better future, even in the face of hardship, and to find comfort in being with God. Do not fear death. 3. “Woman, behold your son!” (John 19:26-27) Practical Application: This speaks to the importance of compassion and care for others, especially those in need. We are to extend our care as a spiritual community by supporting those around us, just as Jesus cared for his mother and disciple. Do not seek return for the blessings you give to others. 4. “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46) Practical Application: This speaks to the reality of suffering and abandonment. It reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and that we can turn to God for comfort and strength during difficult times. Fear of being abandoned or separated from God. 5. “I thirst!” (John 19:28) Practical Application: This speaks to the humanity of Jesus and the need for self-care and rest. It reminds us to take care of our physical and emotional needs, as well as our spiritual needs. To recognize the oneness of your spiritual and physical state of mind and wellbeing. 6. “It is finished!” (John 19:30) Practical Application: This signifies completion and triumph. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find strength in knowing that God is working for our good and that we can trust in his plan. He that in us is greater than any adversity. 7. “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” (Luke 23:46) Practical Application: This speaks to the importance of surrender and trust in God’s will. It encourages us to release our worries and anxieties to God and to trust in his loving care. Placing complete trust in God’s plan and the necessary obedience for fulfillment of one’s spiritual mission and purpose. ============================================ One God One Thought Center for Better Living Rev.

Meditation. Affirmation. Demonstration.

The One God One Thought Center for Better Living (OGOT) is a Spirit‐led, Spirit‐driven, community‐focused New Thought Christian teaching/learning spiritual community, where people learn Christian metaphysics and how to practice and apply spiritual principles in day‐to‐day life.

About Us

The One God One Thought Center for Better Living, Inc. (OGOT) is a New Thought Christian teaching/learning Spiritual Community where people learn Christian metaphysics and how to practice and apply Spiritual principles in day to day life for healthy, happy, peaceful and prosperous living.

We are a member of the Universal Foundation for Better Living, Inc. (UFBL) which is an association of independent New Thought Bible Based Christian Churches and Study Groups, founded by the Reverend Dr. Johnnie Colemon. Our current president is the Reverend Dr. Sheila McKeithen.

The OGOT spiritual community has completed 25 years of building consciousness in Baltimore and beyond. We intend to continue having a sustainable impact in the years to come. Join us for a new year of exploring how we can have a sustainable impact within our lives.

We express our core values through the guidance of the five Principles of Better Living which include:

The Omnipresence of God

We believe that God is everywhere equally present.

Practicing the Presence

Prayer and Meditation

The Divinity of Humankind

Humankind is made in the image likeness of God.

The Law of Demonstration

A spiritual realization followed by the manifestation in the outer of the Truth that has been realized within.

The Value and Power of Thought

It is through thinking that man forms that which he has in his life.

The Omnipresence of God

We believe that God is everywhere equally present.

What We Believe

We Believe:

that it is God’s will that every individual on the face of this earth should live a healthy, happy and prosperous life.

We Believe:

that such a life is within the reach of each one of us and the way to its attainment begins with the realization that the Kingdom of God is within us, waiting for us to bring it into expression.

We Believe:

that we can bring this Kingdom forth by practicing the universal spiritual principles handed down through the ages and taught by our Way-shower, Jesus the Christ.

We Believe:

with Jesus that our experiences are the reflections of our beliefs and therefore the key to happy and successful living is right thinking followed by right action.

We Believe:

with Jesus that the basis for right thinking is LOVE – love of God and all that is good in ourselves and others.

We Believe:

that learning to listen to the whispering of the “still small voice” within us will ensure that we are guided into right action.

We Believe:

that rather than devoting our primary efforts to providing for the needy of the world, the time has come to make available to all people everywhere a teaching that will enable them to provide for themselves by learning to release the divine potential within them.

We Believe:

that the Universal Foundation for Better Living is a vehicle for the spreading of such a teaching.

We Believe:

that a mighty new wind is blowing. People everywhere are hungry for practical techniques that will show them how to fulfill the good desires of their hearts. We in the U.F.B.L. believe that we have these techniques and we offer them to everyone without distinction, confident that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can teach all who are willing to learn how to overcome whatever would keep them from their highest good.

What We Offer

Our OGOT Spiritual Learning Center is an extention of the UFBL Johnnie Colemon Theological Seminary and truly is a catalyst for change. Through our better living classes, students gain an even greater understanding of Truth Principles and how to incorporate them in their daily affairs to truly live a better life. These classes are the best way to gain understanding of New Thought practices and the profound effect it can have on your life.

Special Events, Speakers, and other Workshops round out our Spiritual Learning Center. Our events, speakers, and workshops uplift, empower, and move us forward in the spiritual community.

Our Relevant Issues Forums provide current and timely workshops addressing the various issues of our heart – touching on every aspect of our three-fold being: Spirit-Soul-Body.
