They say that people are creatures of habit and I would say that moral currency is the opposite of material currency. If somebody is obsessed with money and greed and maximizing their sensations and experiences in life, it will cause them to reject love and charity and worship and humility...

I believe Jesus taught that bad deeds lead to bad ultimate results and good deeds leads to good final outcomes. Bad deeds cannot lead to good results because the person suffers for what they did. Good deeds cannot lead to bad results cause the person will eventually be rewarded for their good...

Pokémon is popular for the same reason that Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden: It’s human nature to want what you can’t have. It goes along with FOMO which is the fear of missing out and the offer that the snake gave to Eve in the garden which is that “If they get to choose...

I find that having good mental and social health is more important than having good looks when it comes to finding a good and high quality partner. A woman with low self esteem will almost always end up with an abuser instead of a loving and gracious partner because the process of dating...

One of my child hood friends became a pharmacy professor. Another one got an MD and PhD from 2 Ivy League schools. Another one became a doctor. Another one also became a doctor. Another one became a top computer science CEO in Silicon Valley. What all these people had in common was that they...

I used to be super jealous of a girl I knew cause she was constantly bragging about the 19 books she had published and I had been trying for years to publish a book and failed to produce even a single book. I also did not like she got all the attention cause she would talk so much that nobody...

I had a dream I was at a hotel where you could order all the food you want and the cooks would give you your food cost free. In my dream I ordered 4 pizzas but did not wait for them to finish cooking and left the hotel for at least 7-8 hours. When I returned I asked the guy if my pizza was ready...

I think in life, people are constantly chasing after things they don’t want, because they don’t have the life experience to realize that they don’t actually want it. It’s like when you spend years begging your girlfriend to let you buy a dog and realize within 2 days that you are allergic to...

At my school, the drop out rate for medical school students is under 2% while the drop out for theology students is over 40%. This begs the question of why theology has such a high drop out rate and my theory is that being exposed to false information is emotionally and mentally draining. You...

The gospel of Jesus clearly shows that God was often different from mainstream religious culture and that those who gave in too often to their religious culture ended up rejecting God and I know of examples in my own life of this where people will criticize me and slander me for saying Trump is...

The bible teaches that when you try to treat people fairly, that God takes care of your interests and when you are consistent in your devotion to God, God guards your character. In the last two years since getting laid off from work, there were multiple times where the right choice seemed like...

To me humility is about putting God’s interests and the interests of others above your own interests and desires while arrogance is about putting your own interests and desires above those of others or of God.

Years ago I developed a health issue that set me back very farther than I should have been in life but I worked extremely hard to improve my health and in 2015, God began to heal me, but it’s not all bliss. I ended up parading my good fortune as if I had earned it and not understanding others...

There was a psychologist named Maslow who invented a pyramid called Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. In this pyramid, Maslow argues that human beings are interested in the physical components of their life when those things are under threat or uncertain. But after those things are fulfilled, people...

I have a lot of superficial people and dishonest people in my family and they are all single. One made over 2 million a year and graduated top of her class from an Ivy League school and it took her 9 years to find a husband and she ended up divorced within 8 years with 4 broken engagements since...

Matt. 5 Verses 11 to 12 Says [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you...

In the bible the Israelites are forced to journey through the wilderness for long periods before reaching the promised land and in the same way, I find God sometimes forced us into our own wilderness where we are uncomfortable. Today I was eagerly seeking advice about my writing projects and...

These are signs of a biblically observant woman or man 1 - They consider the comfort and emotional needs of others because a person who makes others uncomfortable is disliked. 2 - They are generous, kind, and inclusive of poor people, as their time and finances and safety and friends allow,...

I try to avoid religious absolutism or deductive exclusiveness when I study the bible because I believe the bible is a tool and not an object of worship. Rather rather than saying “this is what the bible says and anybody who disagrees is wrong,” I say, “This is what I learned from studying the...

When I was in university during my first attempt a degree (I left and returned at 27), I had a whole crowd of people around me who pretended to love and care about me to boost their reputation since I was always asking questions about God. One girl told everybody I said I hated her after she...
