Important points

  • It's not the sudden death but the gradual slope.
  • Memorize scripture - When we have scriptures in our heart.... it comes back in times when we are in trouble.... when it comes back, it provides a flood of relief and help.
  • Self Harm addiction: It arises from social media anxiety. Self harm actually calms many of the teenagers.
  • From control to cutting controlling you. Compulsive behaviour that is difficult to stop without help.
  • "I am enough".... Learn to accept yourself.... you don't need someone else to provide for your confidence to face life.
  • Hyperlink culprit - Decreases and weakens the ability to comprehend and retain what they are reading.
  • Google Reading - Getting what I want. There is no place for encouraging the analysing information. 
  • Addition Pathway
    • Check Neuropathways - check feedback loops - Build momentum
    • Neuroplasticity means you can rewire your brain

    • Lean continuously, use spaced repetition to form memories, and keep practicing.
  • Addition process
    • Exposure
    • Usage
    • Tolerance
    • Craving dependence
    • Addiction control taking over
    • Relapse repetition 
  • Friends
    • Casual Friends are wide

  • Story: Muhammad Ali's daughter was going for a high school party. She intended to have so much fun and she dressed up for the event. But before she left, her father called her to sit down for 5 minutes. There was a box with cold coals on the table. The father asked to hold the coal to her chest.... She protested. The father reasoned stating that the coals are cold and will not harm you. The girl again protested stating that it will stain the dress. The father said this "Be careful.... this  experience may not burn you.... but it can stain you for life.... you need to be careful"
  • Abstinence and Purity
    • Abstinence: I am determined to say no.
    • Purity: It is not just saying no.... I value myself
  • Pursuing Purity is a battle.... don't go at it alone
  • Freedom is not defined as the ability to do whatever you like, but the ability to say NO to the things you would like to say YES to. If you are everybody's YES person obliging friends, your desires etc. Then you will have less time for anything productive in relationships. -
  • "Before you remove a fence, find out why it was placed there" .... GK Chesterton. Boundaries are good and keep you safe.

Financial Awareness Day 2025

Financial Awareness Day 2025 Financial Awareness Day, observed annually on August 14th. Financial awareness is important because we navigate through life using money/finance as one of the tools. As part of the awareness, there is one practice, we all need to stay clear off - Financial Impropriety. The term Financial Impropriety encompasses a range of unethical behaviour related to handling money. And this was the first sin of the church and is something that is most overlooked. We see this story in Acts 5  Ananias and Sapphira The story of Ananias and Sapphira is told and interpreted where the couple paid for their lies (related to money). While this is true, most people don't investigate why this came about. This didn't originate with this couple. The church violated a principle, which is the root of this problem But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3) The church decided acknowledge Barnabas' contribution ...

Happy Men's Day!

Happy Men's Day! Celebrating people is important because it builds community, strengthens relationships, and creates a culture of gratitude and appreciation. We all celebrate Women's Day. However, men often are not excited about any kind of celebration meant for them. That is because we are already having such a good time.... and every day!!! We don't need a special day. Here are some examples Men can call upon higher powers to validate their claims.  With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it."  (Romans 9:1) This is very helpful in situations where our plans fail. So we compare our word, to unwavering Word of Jesus himself 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.  (1 Corin...

Kill the Babies!!!

Morality Standards A picture is painted of a potter fashioning clay to his liking. And this animated picture brings life to the clay, with the clay protesting the Potters's design. This surprised Potter asks "Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?" Jeremiah 18:5 NIV It seems completely reasonable and moral that the Potter is allowed to shape the clay to his design and liking. Conversely it is unreasonable and immoral for the clay to protest the Potter's design.   "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!" Isaiah 29:16 NIV And yet, we continue in our unreasonability and turn things upside down. Why does mere clay (or humankind), protest the Potter (or God) on morality. There is no rational position we can take, that justifies our objections. And it is funny that our objections always start with  "If there were a God, He would not have ordered.... Destruction of all living things in the land of Cannan ...
