“You have an online account from where you bully people with justification to do so? You will be stopped. You are a boss bullying workers at work? You will be stopped. You bully domestic workers and needy people? You will be stopped. Orphans are suffering under you and you swear they will go no where unless you allow it? You will be stopped. Are you domestically abusing your spouse, children or parents? You will be stopped!”
“When your enemies suffer, it’s not always because they hurt you. When those who hurt you suffer, do not be excited that they are paying for it, it’s not always the case. When those whose success you envy, fail and seem to have lost everything, do not pontificate that they are paying for something. Sometimes people go through difficulties and it’s not related to anyone sinning personal sins.”
“Do you need an audience for you to pray? Do you need to wake everyone up for you to pray? Do you need a public address system for you to pray? Do you need a group of dedicated people for you to pray? Jesus prayed alone often. Jesus did many private prayers. Do you pray privately?”
“Jesus changed the criteria of identifying a good leader. We choose the most popular person. We choose someone who represents a larger group of people. We choose somebody who is influential and wealthy. We choose a good orator. Jesus says the best leader is humble and serves all. In other words a good leader has a good attitude and is known for the work they do wholeheartedly for all. Humble and a servant for all!”
“There are so many tiny details that vary yet it’s the same story. The differences do not affect the fact that the Bible is God’s word. God did not dictate the Bible. God’s people experienced God and then in their own way and language and even limited memory they wrote God’s word. The message from God is not distorted even when details do not agree. If a friend sends you a gift, and those who received the gift do not agree on the color of dressing of the messenger, that detail is inconsequential to the key message of the gift. Many conflicting details in the Bible where same story is narrated, are inconsequential to the key message intended for us. In fact the differences confirm that these writers acted independently from each other in delivering God’s word to us, and we remain in awe at how consistently true the key message is!”
“Do you have earlier conclusions that have made difficult for you to relate with others? Your relationships at work, in the family…Do you have conclusions you made earlier that prevent you from learning Bible truths? Do you have an earlier made conclusion about the Sabbath…”
“Your attitude towards school and success depends on your crowd and its noise. Your attitude towards marriage and your spouse depends on your crowd and its noise. Your attitude towards your single life and potential life partners depends on your crowd and its noise. Your attitude towards finances and economic growth depends on your crowd and its noise. Your attitude towards health and the necessary reforms depends on your crowd and its noise. Your attitude towards spiritual things depends on your crowd and its noise. Jesus will only bless us when the crowd and its noise are gone out of our lives!”
“If you want to be happy in any and every relationship, do not entertain evil thoughts…When you entertain evil thoughts, you will keep seeing evidence around you to justify your evil thoughts. You will never see a situation where the other person is good…”
“Examine yourself today and redefine your end game. The way you are operating in school, what is the end game? The way you make health choices, what is the end game? The way you are relating with your partner and others, what is the end game? The way you spend your money daily, no savings, no investments, no tithes and offerings, what is the end game? Short term achievements are not the end game. End game happens at the very end when much can’t be changed. What is your end game?”
