I watch the NBA Finals because I have to. I'm a guy. It's the law. But what good is it? Well, it kills 3 hours or so, and I've always been a sports junkie. I don't even watch any of the regular season games, just the playoffs. I've said it before and I'll say it again: guys have "Playoff Hormones" that kick in during any sport's playoffs (well, not counting soccer). We suffer PMS, too: Playoff Mood Swings.
Why on Earth would I give a single damn about a bunch of ultra-rich athletes playing valiantly in order to bring home a ring? Beats me. Sure, we dudes all secretly wish it was us out there dazzling the fans with our adroitness. A big-time jam, a blocked shot, a crossover dribble and a lazer-guided assist to the big man in the middle. Or the pull-up three and nothin' but net. Man, that would feel great. But, it's something I'll never know. I guess we males live vicariously through all these hyper-tatted players who can perform incredible magic with a basketball. That's the best we can do.
Instead of soap operas, guys watch sports, I guess. Where's Labron going? Will Phil coach the Bulls next year? Will Kobe become the best to ever play the game (NO, it'll always be Michael!). Watching all the stars sitting courtside is also a spectacle that lets you know you're not one of the coolest people on the Planet like they are. But, we're still "THE FANS." Isn't NBA basketball supposed to be "FANtastic?!"
What it's really all about for me is this: the NBA Finals help while away yet another few weeks until what really matters comes to be: FOOTBALL SEASON! Now, that's what I'm talin' 'bout!

Why do some women just seem to effortlessly make men interested in them? Strangely enough you probably look at them and think to yourself "I don't see anything at all that is really special about them" so why then do men care for them so much?
We all want to be women men adore and have incredible romance and relationships. So then the question is clearly, do we know how to become one of these women? Growing up we hear all the typical advice about playing hard to get, and never kissing on the first date, acting uninterested and so on. But the truth of the matter is the typical information you get out there about seizing a mans heart is just scratching the surface. There is a lot more to know.
The truth about seducing a rich man is that you cannot just act the way you feel and be successful. The best example of this is when a women falls for a man, and can't help but call him 10 times a day and endlessly ask where he is, what he is doing, and who he is with. This type of behavior can scare away most any man. Let alone a rich and successful man.
It's important that you stay alert and aware to the behavior you are displaying. Notice how you are portraying yourself. This may seem like a lot of work, and in some ways it can take years of this self controlling but the reward of a rich man in your life is more then worth it.
Finally, a few traits that women men adore possess. Its not hard to believe that men want a women who is strong and self-reliant. In some ways this is true, but the truth is that men and especially rich men are drawn to extremely feminine women. Women that act like guys will eventually bore and man and he will more on to other women that behave more like females.
Some women find it hard to believe but men love long hair and especially pony tails. Most women (myself included) feel absolutely ugly wearing a pony tail but men just can't help but like it. Many women have reported to me that they received less attention from men when they cut their hair short, and that when it grew back men took notice. This is a common experience for far too many women.
Take this ideas into consideration. It doesn't really matter whether you are married, going out on dates, or even just trying to get ahead of the game and learn how to deal with rich and attractive men better. Any women can make just a few changers in their life and experience a tremendous increasing the happiness and relationships.

There are some women who are very clear about what they want out of life. It could be their jobs, hobbies or the kind of men they want to date. If you feel that you want to find a rich man for yourself then here are some strategies that will help you do so.
Look at the right places
To begin with you have to know where to search. When you have the right hunting ground finding the prey and going for the kill becomes much easier. Golf courses, high end lounges, country clubs and charity events are some of the places where you are most likely to meet rich men.
Be classy in the way you look
When you want to find a rich man you have to learn to attract him. It is the classy look that you want to get. Remember that classy doesn't mean that you have to spend a bomb on couture or high end fashion. A few well fitted dresses and a couple of beauty treatments are all you need to get the right look.
Give him reason to like you
When you meet a rich guy you have to give him reason to like you. Charm him with your intellect and show him that you are very unlike the other girls that he normally runs into. Take interest in what he is saying so that you can ask him the right questions and also show him that you find him intriguing.
Be professionally secure
It is very essential to have found professional success when you want to date a rich guy. Being professionally and financially secure makes the rich guy feel secure as he feels that you are not after his money.
Be a confident person
Being a confident woman is very essential when you want to date a rich guy. It is your confidence and self assurance that will draw him to you and will keep him hooked to you.
Show him your quirky side
A rich guy has easy access to almost everything. In order to impress him you need to focus on your own quirks. Be uninhibited and show him what you are really made of and you will see that dating a rich guy will be very easy. All you need to do is be yourself.
Learn to hold your own
It can be very intimidating dating or being with a rich guy. If you want the one that you have found for keeps then you have to learn not to get intimidated. Believe that having money doesn't necessitate being impressed and your man will get drawn to you.

We all know the parable of the rich man in hell and Lazarus in paradise, but what has it got for us today?
Luke 16:19-31 reads:
"There was a certain rich man that was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fed sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.
So it was that the beggar died and was carried to the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, was buried and bearing the torments of Hades. He lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he might dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.'
But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime, you received your good things and likewise, Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us is there is a gulf, so that those of us who want to pass from here to you cannot. Nor can those from there, pass to us.'
Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house for I have five brothers that he may testify to them, lest they come to this place of torment.'
Abraham said to him, 'I have Moses and the prophets, let them heed them.' And he said, 'No Father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, I will repent.'
But he said to him, 'If they do not heed Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded that one rose from the dead."
I came from here three hours ago, ready to go on with my parables of Jesus. I got my form out which listed the parables of Jesus in alphabetical order. And this one was on the list. I got depressed and I said to myself, I was too tired; I was going to go to bed. And the Lord got me out of bed, I was going to sleep, and got me busy and now 3 hours later, I'm back out of bed, doing this parable.
The reason I feel that I went to bed was that this is a parable about a subject I just don't like. I've lived as a Christian since I was 8 years of age. I'm 43 years now and I've never come to grips with the concept of hell. Not that I don't believe in hell. Jesus spoke about hell more than nearly any other subject in the gospels; I've been told by preachers and other writers. It's just that the subject of hell is a scary subject. And I have a hard time, I have a hard time with hell, and the consequences that are ahead of people who don't follow Jesus and don't give their lives to Jesus Christ.
But seeing as we're doing parables of Jesus, and it's my job to explain them in simple terms, let me pick up a couple of points that I'd like to illustrate or bring out some meaning a little bit more.
There was a certain rich man, it says. There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fed sumptuously every day. Jesus said in the Gospels, that it's harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Now some people say that there was a needle gate in Jerusalem and for a camel to get through it, it had to go through on its knees and you had to remove everything from its back. This would take humility and a lot of control. The camel would have to want to go through that gate. Other people have said there existed no such gate and Jesus was talking about a little sewing needle and saying it was near impossible. So, whatever school of thought, Jesus stated that it was very, very hard for a rich man to go to heaven.
And so, this man was rich. Often in life when you have a lot of resources and you're wealthy and prosperous, you seem to have no need for God. It's a proven fact with statistics, that when people are poor and in poverty, they're more open to the gospel and yet when they start to prosper, they seem to move away from God. That's certainly true in America and it holds true in places like India.
I've met an Indian apostle who's spent a lot of time visiting India and he says that the Christians are very good at converting the lower castes, the lower people, the poor, beggars and the working class maids and people that are in the lowest level in their class system. The Christians are very good at converting them but Christians have a lot harder time converting the rich. So, it's not an evil thing to be rich. Money doesn't hold any value. It's just that when you get to a stage where all of your needs are met and you can live in luxury, most often people choose that course instead of relying on Jesus.
But Lazarus was there, outside the gate begging bread. I find it interesting in verse 21, he said he desired to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. He basically was not eating bread crumbs, he was eating the scraps off the table of the rich man. As the men and women of the house ate they collected the scraps of food and Lazarus was his bin.
You remember the Phoenician woman, the woman from another culture said to Jesus even the dogs get the scraps off the table, when she wanted her daughter to be healed. This was the woman that wanted the miracle off Jesus when Jesus said that he wasn't going to heal her because he said she was basically a dog. Jesus saw her great faith and healed her daughter that day
It proves that Jesus was compassionate in that sense and it shows that there's always a need for the poor in this world. A lot of poor live in scrap yards and live on rubbish heaps and that's their only way of living. And this is sad. Many times we consider, well, these are the rich people, the selfish and stuff but we are the rich this parable is talking about.
In the third world, just an old age pension or disability pension is a fortune for a person. So, people who are poor in the West are tremendously rich compared to true poverty. So, when you listen to a parable like this, don't consider yourself one that isn't rich.
The rich man went to hell, he saw Lazarus in verse 22 and 23. And being in a torment of Hades, it says, in verse 23, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. Many Jehovah's Witnesses say there's no hell. Seventh Day Adventists say there is no hell. But people that are real Christians know there is a hell and it is really a place you don't want to end up in.
You notice that Jesus in all these parables, mentioned people and he doesn't say names, he just says professions. This parable is different as he names Lazarus. This is not a just a story, this is a true story that was presented as a story.
So Jehovah's Witnesses will say there's no hell. Seventh Day Adventists will say that there's such a thing as soul sleep. When you die, you just stay in this sleep sort of state and we wait for the resurrection of the dead.
This is saying that there was a paradise, pre-Jesus' resurrection and there was a hell where people were actually burning and wanted a drop of water. It says in verse 24, that he may dip the tip of his finger in the water and cool my tongue, proves that it was very hot and just this drop of water would bring comfort to this person.
Rest assured, there is a hell for the people who don't accept Jesus Christ. And essentially, this book of parables, essentially Christ's message is that we've got to be the light to the world. t's a hard thing to consider and I don't want to bear down on you with guilt and shame and condemnation. But many of the people you know, in shops and people you work with, and friends and relatives, many of them are counting on you and your witness to lead them to salvation. There are people in every Christian's life that may end up in hell because the Christian didn't share the Gospel with them.
That's a sobering message for me to share and I don't mean to bring condemnation but Jesus left the job of salvation to the sheep. Many people rely on their pastor to save people or rely on an evangelist to save people but pastors don't give birth to pastors, but sheep, sheep give birth to sheep. It's natural for sheep to give birth to sheep. And it's natural for sheep to go out to evangelize their friends.
So, that's how it is. The rich man said in verse 27, 28, 29 and 30, that Abraham was to send someone from the dead, send Lazarus to go and warn his brothers.
It's interesting that the rich man still had mercy on his brothers. He had some compassion. It's interesting that he had a memory in hell. Some people say we have no memory of our life but he was fully aware that he had brothers and his brothers were destined to hell too. And he wanted to save them. And it's interesting in verse 31, that Abraham said, "But he said to him, but if they do not heed Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded that one rises from the dead."
That's very interesting because Jesus did rise from the dead and so many people in the world don't believe that testimony. They need you, there are plenty of people being raised from the dead around the world. In the East, in Africa, in India, when it happens that people are raised from the dead, massive conversions happen.
I know a teacher that I've mentioned already, Andrew Wommack, raised someone from the dead in a church. And the church attendance went from about 14 people to 100 people in a town with just about 150 people. Raising people from the dead always causes revival and is possible to do. So, it seems it does have an effect on people. But people are subject to receiving Jesus or rejecting Jesus. And Jesus wants us to be the lights of the world. He wants us to reach out to people.
You would be surprised at how many people who do not profess a faith in Jesus, not consider themselves a Christian would be interested in reading a book about Jesus teachings made simple. Perhaps you might buy them a copy of this book and see if the words convict them and bring them some light.
