The bible says those who diligently pursue God’s help and goodness find social and cosmic benefits but those who pursue evil will discover betrayal and abuses from others. I can think of an example of the second one. My aunt is rich with a very successful husband and daughter and a happy...

1 - Be genuine 2 - Pursue public service 3 - Labour for God’s honour 4 - Validate people’s feelings 5 - Pursue the meaning of God 6 - Show respect for holy things 7 - Honour the reputation of other people 8 - Practice gratitude to God and human beings 9 - Trust God to punish your enemies and do...

Years ago, God told me I would achieve extreme greatness if I avoided two bad habits and ways of thinking. I now know the two bad habits are slothfulness and material greed. I realized this year, that as long as I do God’s will, I need not worry about my life, from a financial perspective, I...

There are three sources I access to get information on the bible that I think are relevant to you as well. 1. Observing patterns I see in the world. For example, I noticed inclusive Christians tend to be happier so I concluded God was talking about inclusivity when He said to pursue His...

I would say the two foundations to a successful Christian life and community is meaning, purpose and inclusivity. I found inclusive churches were richer while exclusive churches were poorer. Meaningful churches had better social relationships while frivolous churches had lower quality...

What I get out of this verse is that Character, Compassion and Quality Cooperativeness in your Career must precede Church, Christian Ceremony and Communal Celebration

So this is what I got from studying the beatitudes in the book of Luke: Blessed are you who don’t promote yourselves because your promotion is the work of God Blessed are you who see the needs and address them, for you will be fulfilled Blessed are you who miss out on good things, for you will...

Here I’m quoting a Times of India article that suggests married couples in loving relationships recover from wounds faster than married couples in stressful relationships While planning today’s GAG post, I began to wonder why psychologists have a higher divorce rate than people outside the...

The bible says a kind hearted woman gains Honour while ruthless men gain only wealth and the way I interpret that is this: 1. Those who judge others by dismissively cruel and difficult standards gain money when they work hard, but have no social or relational benefits from their sacrifice and...

As a child in my pre Christian days, I heard multiple times through books and tv shows that it’s the thought that counts, and not the value of your gifts and offerings. Today I texted a friend with a digital teaching gift and I’m not sure if they are going to use it or throw it away because they...

I believe the biblical secret to success is that you have to value ideas more than you value things. Justice is an idea. Knowledge is an idea. Love is an Idea. Kindness is an Idea. Wisdom is an Idea. Food is a thing. Clothing is a thing. Furniture is a thing. Physical relationships are a thing....

The bible says that those who trust in the Lord will prosper but those who are greedy, those who fear social pressures, those who look to human beings for validation and acceptance, those who refuse to thank God for their blessings, will not prosper and be happy too. I remember in high school, I...

I have known a woman for years and in the last two have seen her in zoom groups almost every week and one day she said to me “I’ve known you for two years but I still feel like I don’t really know you.” I thought her statement was odd because in my mind, I had gone out of my way many times to...

I had a dream months ago, where God told me, that if I trusted him, He would take the ugliness in my life and he would make it beautiful. When I was a child, my parents were too lazy to spend time with me and too bitter to make friends with other families so I spent all my time reading because I...

One of the most important things I learned from work was not to fight back when somebody attacks you. Jesus said it 20 centuries ago, but I did not understand how important his guideline was, until I broke his commandment of loving your enemies and lost my job reference when my boss who used to...

I learned when I was 19, that sometimes God would rather change your desires than grant you your desires. Like you might pray for a good looking football player to be your husband at 15 and at 40, pray for a doctor to be your husband instead. Maybe when your 12; you pray to be a Victoria secret...

In one of my dreams, God taught me a new law that might not be written in the bible. I’m my dream God told me that if I wanted God to help me achieve my goals, I would have to help other people achieve their goals too. My cousin never replies to my emails if I send her questions because she is...

These are rules I learned to help me control or reject feelings of jealousy I might have towards others. They are: 1 - Learn from your competition instead of trying to deny their achievements. This will save you time and empower you twice over, with the knowledge you have and with the knowledge...

At the end of 2020, I purchased Jordan Peterson’s future authoring program because it was half price that week. The future authoring program is basically a conversation you have with yourself where you answer a series of questions the Harvard psychologists post in the program about your life,...

I mentioned previously that I believed the salt was a symbol for religious sacrifice and the salt that loses its saltiness is the religious sacrifice that loses its holiness, such as the people who think the vaccine is the mark of the beast, the people who encourage disobedience to health...
