GULLIBLE? or DECEPTIVE?

1/9/2015

Gullible—easily deceived or cheated

Con artists prey on gullible people. Internet scams are run on gullible people. Pranks are played on gullible people.

Most of society makes fun of gullibility. Yet, when we do, we are exalting the practice of deception.

Is that really what we want to be known for?

Rites of Passage

The 12 Stages Of Spiritual & Physical Evolution
Rites Of Passage:
any ritual or ceremony wherein a participant crosses a threshold demarcating a transformation of their state of being.
 


This particular definition depends on a cultural awareness and preparation for such a thing we call a rite of passage.
However, there are things in our life and U.S. culture that are considered a rite of passage without such formal recognition.

The Bible--No Errors?

8/21/2012

Picture
The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years.  The Bible claims to be inspired and men have also said it is without error (inerrant).  This means that the Bible claims to be from God and that it is without error in everything it addresses. 

When applied to sacred writings, inerrancy is the belief that the words are God's true revelations to mankind. An inerrant text is considered infallible, truthful, reliable, totally free of error and absolutely authoritative. Inerrancy is not restricted to moral and religious truth. It is normally applied to all statements of fact in the Bible: "scientific, historical, or geographical."

Prayer is not a Panacea

"There's a sucker born every minute."--(often attributed to P.T. Barnum, though history shows otherwise.)
People will fall for most anything that they think will help them in the moment. The selling of snake oil in days gone by, the current weight-loss pills, the almost daily introduction of a new pain reliever, or depression destroyer, etc.--virtually anything promising to move me away from pain and toward pleasure.
These are the two motivations upon which all persuasion is built.
Christians and pre-Christians are no less gullible.


"Prayer Changes Things."
"God Answers Knee-mail."
"Seven Days Without Prayer Makes One Weak."

Self Love Gone Wild--pt. 3

3/26/2012

0 Comments

 
Could it be that the true way to a healthy self-esteem and a powerful love of self is completely contrary to our natural way of thinking? Might the tide of self-loathing that is causing the eating disorders, depressions, suicides, school shootings, and drug addictions be stemmed if we began to try Jesus' method of love?
Is it worth a try in your own life?
