Is REAL change possible? No, not the superficial kind of change. You know, the kind that lasts for three days if we’re lucky, and then we go right back to our old, “natural’ way of doing things. No, we’re not talking about that kind of change. We’re referring to the kind of change that permeates every aspect of our being. The kind where …
Research is terribly underestimated. While, it is used as a tool to get to an end result, when the end result is all that is in mind, we lose out on the opportunity to grow from the process of this thing called research. Research is defined as “the systematic investigation into and study of materials …
Do you believe that man is feeble? Juvenile… lacking strength or character… There is nothing in us that excels, that can look beyond the surface… at least not in of ourselves. No… religion doesn’t count. Religion is, as a wise man once described it, “man’s way of getting to God.” And this just leads us …
Belief in and of itself is neither good or bad, it’s what we attach to it that determines its result. Do we believe in the circumstance? Do we believe in the outcome of it? Do we believe in the people involved… ourselves? Perhaps we believe in our own belief? What does that mean? To believe …
It says in Psalms that the wicked will not stand in the judgement. Standing indicates a posture of presence. The not being able to be “present” to defend their cause is one way this verse can be explained. Can you imagine not even having a presence or place to state your case… like you don’t …
What does it mean to be clean and why is it important? Clean is defined as: free from dirt, marks, or stains. Or as: morally uncontaminated; pure; innocent. Sometimes the word clean can scare us. Well at least it does some of us. So… what does hearing this word do to you? In order to really tackle …
Sin is tricky… literally. The problem with it is that it also makes us believe that it’s not sin. It plays tricks. A two-faced, or sometimes more, bad “habit” that, because of its many faces, is able to fit into almost any area of life unnoticed. For instance, there’s the, “I’ve got no problems sin”, …
No, I’m not your teacher… Nor am I designed to be. The things that come from your being, simply disagree with me. I would hate to have to tell you something serious, as in a real truth, because the only thing you’d see is the spinach on my tooth. Trite, a bit, shallow, as sh@t. Not …
Long life….it is a blessing. Considering that there are those that don’t ever get to make it into this world. We could marvel at the amount of time given to any of us that are here now. Do you believe it was planned from the beginning… The time that we do have here on earth …
Do you have someone in your life who is always there? Perhaps a friend … Or maybe they are not always there, but they come to mind whenever something challenging comes around? Just the idea of this friend creates the illusion of enough support, that you end up emboldened in whatever task you’re performing. This distinction …
And what’s good for one person may not be good for another. What is good anyway?… How does one measure goodness. When we think about what is ‘good’, is it that kind of goodness that extends outside of our moral definition? It would be a danger to think of goodness just inside the scope of …
Compromise is helpful… Especially at times when we find ourselves in places where there appears to be no straightforward answer. Where it appears that our best option is coming to some formal conclusion (agreed upon by all the parties). Whether it’s help in resolving a conflict or making a decision, or something else, compromise certainly can help …
