What happened to Integration? 4 y
** We need to get over thinking we can control everything and most of all people!
Don’t shoot the messenger! I only report the truth - it is you who distort it or fail to accept it!
If back in the 1960s, when the segregation laws were being removed in the USA under LBJ; the new Interrogation Laws should have been applied unbiased - across the board to everyone, to all citizens everywhere! Regardless of race, which areas of the world from which they had come!
It should have applied to any and every race or ethnic group. Because then we would not ever have had the past over 50 years of racial integration tension problems!
Because once you recognized the pr ... read more Critical Thinking = Choose one point of focus! #12 4 y
"We need to recondition ourselves to find a certain pleasure in focused attention. Which actually there is,”
It’s not easy, but you can do it.

Even those trains of thought that just... wait, what were we talking about, again? Staying focused can be hard, especially in an age when there are tons of distractions around you. So, whether it’s something you don’t really want to have to pay attention to—like work; or something you do—like talking to a friend in a crowded bar—sometimes it’s just plain hard to concentrate on what’s happening right in front of you.
Jumping to other stimuli—like someone looking at you, or your phone buzzing—can give you a dopamine rush, ... read more Discipline Brings Life 4 y

Discipline Brings Life
Matthew 18:18-19 ’Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.’
MATTHEW 18:15-19
Verses 18 and 19 have many applications but taken in context, they are specifically referring to church discipline. Some might think that church discipline is only symbolic and carries no real weight; however, Jes ... read more Tears - He will bring you thru the fire again! 4 y
Tears come as the realization of personal dependence upon the God of the Universe and a plea for His intervention or Blessings.
** Prayer has never been telling God how much you need or know about Him, rather it is a consciousness that He already knows. **
The reasons for tears are many and varied - yet they do come. No matter how well your life is or has been you may feel good - Until Sorrows Come and Tears follow! But why?
When all else fails tears come. This is when you can find people seeking God through a prism of tears. A pronounced difference can be seen by observing two different types of people in their prayers. While two people can both be sincere in their prayers, one will wail and cry becau ... read more Fasting is a Major part of life 4 y
*This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.* It should be a major part of Life!
Fasting Drives Away Doubt
Mark 9:29 ’And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.’
MARK 9:28-29
Prayer and fasting do not drive certain demons out. If the name of Jesus and faith in His name won’t do the job, then fasting and prayer won’t either. Jesus is saying that fasting and prayer are the only ways of casting out this type of unbelief.
An unbelief that comes as a result of ignorance can be done away with by receiving the truth of God’s Word (Rom. 10:17; 2 Pet. 1:4). However, the unbelief that hindered the disciples in this case w ... read more Critical Thinking: Learning to control your mind - # 11 4 y

What is real Critical Thinking?
”The next time you need to think critically about something—whether you’re considering a new idea, weighing the pros and cons of a potential decision, or evaluating whether you can trust a particular news source—it’s worth asking yourself a few simple questions.
Who benefits from this?
Who is harmed by this?
What would be a counter-argument?
Where would this idea take us?
Ask the kind of questions that inspire critical thinking. These critical thinking skills are especially important right now, as states begin to open up and people ... read more God's wisdom. 4 y
What do we know? We must study the scriptures, for they reveal the will of God for our actions and attitudes. To be filled with the knowledge of God's will, we must be filled with God's Word. God's Word is His will! Those who are ignorant of God's Word will be ignorant of God's will.
His Will Is In The Word
John 17:17 ’Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.’
JOHN 17:17
In this prayer, Jesus prayed twice that the Father would keep His disciples from evil. Then He reveals the way that God will accomplish this - through His Word, the holy scriptures. Anyone who desires to live for God, reject the devil, and reject the world’s system, must know God’s Word.

Once upon a time each of us has had the chance to stop and evaluate the circumstances around themselves! historically most people are lazy slow and somewhat resistive to seeking new things - unless it has mystery or razzle-dazzle!

Many times, Christians don't discern this because they think it is just their own grief of intercession different than speaking in tongues, this should certainly be an important ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit
May 22
Mark 8:12, ’And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said Why does this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.’ {Meaning all unbelievers}
MARK 8:11-13
The Greek word used here for ’sighed deeply’ means an intense grieving, inaudible prayer, or groan. This is the intercession of the Holy Spirit, with groanings that cannot be uttered. Some Spirit-filled Christians believe this means groanings that cannot be uttered in normal speech and that this refers to speaking in tongues. However, ... read more Why we do what we do? 4 y

Tradition Neutralizes
Mark 7:13, ’Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.’
MARK 7:1-13
Deuteronomy 4:2 clearly states ’Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it . . . .’ This same thought is repeated in the New Testament in Revelation 22:18-19 with very stiff penalties. Religious man is very swift to observe the part about not diminishing any of God’s commandments, but there seems to be an unwritten law that adding to them is okay.

Paper as an Extension of Your Mind
While writing may not literally increase your working memory, many cognitive scientists now believe that such external representations may form important parts of our cognition.
This externalized cognition extends the space of thinking and literally makes us smarter, even if our brains are just the same as before.
Just as writing helps with numerical and mnemonic tasks, it can help you think more clearly about your life problems as well.

In the late 1970s, Leonard Cohen sat down to write a song about god, sex, love, and other mysteries of human existence that bring us to our knees for one reason or another. The legendary singer-songwriter, who was in his early forties at the time, knew how to write a hit: He had penned ”Suzanne,” ”Bird on the Wire,” ”Lover, Lover, Lover,” and ... read more |
