1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (NIV) - Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

TACTICAL LIVING

Paul spends a little time with an emphasis on something we are supposed to do. We are to … admonish the idle (1 Thes 5:14). These three words are very pointed and very powerful. Three words … ADMONISH … reason with, exhort, counsel. warn another one. This verb is a way of telling us to help some one, to warn them and share wisdom. Maybe direct them or give them insight. THE … when the Greek…

Resolving Our Differences

Gary Pollard In Philippians 4, right before he confronts Euodia and Syntyche, Paul says, “My dear brothers and sisters, I love you and want to see you. You bring me joy and make me proud of you. Continue following the Lord as I have told you.”  Then verse two, “I strongly urge Euodia and I strongly urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the lord.” The word translated “urge” here is something…

Gratitude.

Colossians 3:16.

“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.”

Gratitude is more than saying the word “thanks.” Gratitude is a learned habit. We chose this attitude of gratitude. 

This week, after Thanksgiving, continue this attitude of gratitude first in your family, than towards those you meet.

◇ DEAL WITH THE DEVIL...

[beneathsilverstars]

what if mira's parents were like... "oh our precious darling baby, please never grow up!" sort of parents.... not cruel, but stifling. deciding what she'll do, and then doing it for her. not letting her learn and try and fail and grow into her own, independent self.

of course she would love the religion of change! of course she would believe so passionately in the importance of discovering and reinventing yourself. of course she would have been missing basic life skills when she first came to the house, and enamored with whoever patiently taught them to her. of course she would take every class available, try everything she was denied.

and of course it would feel awful, when she kept failing. she started out at a deficit and has felt two steps behind ever since. and every time she tries a new skill and makes a mistake, she hears her parents say, just let us do it for you. and every time she compares her same-old self to the unique and talented people around her, she wonders if maybe her parents were right about her. maybe she wasn't meant to have her own interests, to make her own choices. maybe she can't learn. maybe she can't grow. maybe she'll be a useless child forever.

it's hard to decide how she feels about her parents. they never hurt her, so why does she feel so hurt when she thinks about them? they loved her, so why doesn't she love them?

and it's hard to admit the faults of the change belief. it saved her from stagnation! and yet, here she is. smothered again. expected not to stay the same, but to become someone else.

why can't she just be who she is?

[space--cryptid]

Is it just me or as the magnus protocol has gone on, whenever chester or norris read statesments, it's been getting more...human? Like, to me it's audible that they're slowly sounding more human, more emotional, like real people reading instead of the programs. With the email to Sam, I wonder if they're slowly 'awakening' or becoming more themselves. An unbecoming, if you will. All that to say, I think we'll loose norris and chester soon and get to meet Jon and Martin.
