The blog of life is wierd. |
QUESTION. DOES GOD REALLY HEAR WHEN I PRAY?Check out Job 39:7 & Psalm 66:18. If you're just raving, it doesn't hold His attention. When we know we've done wrong, but we're silent or defensive about it, our prayer line is gonna crash. God is always holy
NOBODY can mess with His mind. But, the biggest reason why people's prayer doesn't get heard today comes down in James 1:6-8. It's a big problem inside an eclectic culture (lot's of things to have and do) where Doubt Rules, and everything gets squeezed into a test tube. Not sure God will hear and answer? Get sure. Pray sure. |
QUESTION. WHY IS SEX & MARRIAGE SO CONFUSING?One word: GAMEO. In the New Testment, sex and wedding are combined in the G word, gameo. When people separate having sex and wedding, they're having problems because God put them together. Check out Matthew 19:1-12. God is very OKay with sex, but He wants you to know what it does inside you: both of you becoming one flesh. more about sex/wedding in I Corinthians 7. |
QUESTION. ABOUT WEDDING
IS IT WORTH THE TROUBLE?Our Maker's huge secret about our wanting to be wedding slipped out in Malachi 2:15
He desires that we have (and raise) children who are growing in Him. |
DIVORCE IS NOT COOL.God said, "I HATE DIVORCE!". Who really wants to be caught doing things that God HATES?? In the Old Testament, divorce means to cut off and throw away, or to dismiss, depending upon which Hebrew word is being used. In the New Testament, divorce is to carry out and let die. This is gross stuff. People think they want divorce because they're being self-focused and maybe they don't understand what wedding is. Wedding MATH: 1+1=1 1-1=1 |
can be learned! In public school you will donate about 2,200 days (~13,000 hours). Through 12 years of classes, the school district will collect about $70,000 for your time served in the chalkboard jungle. No, you can't get it for less at Wal-Mart. Why is school too easy or too hard, boring or frustrating, irrelevant or pressured? Let's pull out that Bible from our backpacks to solve for a God perspective on education
In the USofA, school most often means study. It's true that God's Word reveals we should study. Study is diligence & devotion with direction. [Ezra 7:10; Proverbs 1:5; 9:9; II Timothy 2:15] There's another part to education called training. [Proverbs 22:6; II Timothy 3:16] For training, the Greek word-idea is like cultivating the garden of your mind. A well thought garden can be sweet. Study without training may be frustrating or boring. I'm learning all this stuff (studying) without doing much with it. Training (a.k.a., experience) is something that employers often look for in job applicants, while our middle & high schools emphasize study goals for students. Everything you will learn in high school can be understood by age 13. Schools in other countries accelerate learning and training after completing the third grade, along with offering more interesting subjects and skill training to connect with study goals. How can we make our school time more meaningful, relevant and helpful? Understand God's purpose in study & training. Though most schoolbooks and school teachers leave Him out, do everything you do (or, study) to the glory of God. [I Corinthians 10:31] My studies go better when I have His clear purpose already in mind. Get involved with helping other students at school. Tutoring is a good way to get the training that your school may have left out. Helping others has many rewards, and can be a powerful way to exemplify Jesus Christ. [I Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:6-8] Integrate your learning experiences. Science needs math and reading needs literature and art needs science and history needs language and language needs math and everything needs God because He made it all, and He is the only One who can show us the melody and harmony of life. [Job 38:4; Proverbs 9:10; Colossians 1:9-10] Without the knowledge (learning) of God our language is dubious, our history is pointless, our science is weird, our math is irrational. Recognize that to live is to learn. It never stops!!! Train to embrace it because growth in skill, knowledge & wisdom is within God's perfect will for you.
