Why Are People Behaving so Aggressively????????

Why is there so much aggression inside of this world today?

I have a very important question.  How come there is so much hate in the world today?  The answer is I really do not know.  I know for myself that it is people who do not like me because I am blogging at the moment.  This is a picture of a bear.  This bear is a very aggressive animal.  Human beings reminds me of this angry bear.  This bear wants human beings and other animals to stay away from him.  I know that our world has changed a whole lot since 1980.  When I was 15 years old, I had a job.  The world itself is very aggressive today.  This is not a sign of the times.  It has been prophesized inside of the Holy Bible by numerous of prophets.  It is that Jesus Christ stated in Mark 13, Luke 21, and Matthew 26th Chapter in the End of Times.

 This bear means business!! Human Beings means business in the same way that this bear does.  Therefore, I rarely go online and converse with other people.  I really feel that man is going to destroy the world with the use of nuclear weapons.  I want to tell everyone that God wants mankind to repent of their sins and spread the latter rains.  I know that everyone is classified as a work in progress.  It is time for all of us to get along with each other and live in peace.  There are other people who are very aggressive and do not care about other people.  I really care about people.  I want others to love me in the same way that Jesus Christ loved others.  I want to inform everyone that I do not have any time for nonsense and people putting me down all of the time.  I love all of you, even if you do not love me in return.  It is time to walk with God instead of Satan.

How to Trust and Obey The Lord!!

How Do You Trust and Obey the Lord Jesus Christ?

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

        Praise The Lord Saints!!  Praise The Lord!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I have a very important question to ask all of you.  How do you trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ.  First, I would like to inform all of you that this starts in the home.  This means that our parents are supposed to teach us how to conduct ourselves with God, Jesus Christ, other people, and ourselves.

 I want to inform all of you that inside of my household growing up, I really did not have anyone to teach me how to walk a decent life.  I relied on my grandparents, mother, aunts, and uncles to show me how to become a real man.  I remember attending church with my great grandmother when I was young.  She attended Bethel Church of God in Christ in Dayton, Ohio.  My Great-Grandmother told me to always trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.  This is in Proverbs 3:5.  It is a privilege and honor to trust in the Lord.  We all have problems, but we have God in our lives.

Next, I really remember listening to Jimmy Swaggart and Oral Roberts during the time that I was a child.  Like they say in Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go, when he get old, he will not depart from it.  I know that at that time, I was trying to establish an identity for myself by dealing with my friends during the 1970s.  I always attended church on a daily basis with my grandmother.  She obviously took me to church just to keep me from getting into trouble.  I really understand right now about trusting in the Lord. 

        Further, I want to inform all of you that some of my family members have unfriended me on Facebook because I was sharing the Gospel of Peace with them each day of the week.  However, they do not want to hear it.  As long as I can share my experience, strength, and hope with at least one person, I have done my job.

 The greatest thing that I can appreciate is having an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.  I want to inform all of you that God has given me a foundation that I need to join Him in Paradise.  God want us to be happy when things do not go our way.  I really like this Bible verse in Jeremiah 29:11.

        Moreover, the Lord Jesus Christ wants all of us to prosper in our lives.  I know that inside of my family, everyone is living inside of the world.  Even though; some of my family members are successful right now.

  It is that they have not given God any of their personal time.  I do not have a job right now, so therefore, I am supposed to give God plenty of time to work inside of my life.  How do you trust and obey Jesus Christ?  In my case, I have to demonstrate, and imitate Jesus Christ by doing the things that He has done.  I realize that I cannot tell anyone what to do.  I can only give advice and suggestions to others.  I have also another job.  I am supposed to share the Gospel of Peace with everyone. 

        In Addition, I want to say that I want to be happy in my life.  I know that I am supposed to share with everyone the Word of God. 

We have the Holy Spirit inside of us.  1st Corinthians 3:16 says: Do ye not know that your body is the temple of God and the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you.  This is the truth.  As soon as we confess our sins to God, and become born again by getting baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  I have been baptized a total of 9 times in different churches.  Currently, I attend Fort McKinley United Methodist Church in Dayton, Ohio. 

        Finally, I want to say that we are supposed to have a merciful attitude.  I know that for me personally, my personality has changed for the better.  I do not use any vulgarity anymore.  I have a desire to exercise and participate in the Great Commission.

 I am supposed to save lost souls on a daily basis.  With God’s help, I know that I can maintain an excellent attitude for the rest of my entire life.  I am very happier right now by sharing God’s Message with everyone.  I know that I am supposed to imitate Jesus Christ’s behavior.  I know that I have to discipline yourself in everything you do in your personal life.  The definition of the word discipline is a branch of knowledge of teaching and training.  God has given all of us self-control.  I want to inform all of you that I have a well-balanced mind. 

In Conclusion, I am going to share God’s Word with everyone.  I am going to always through God’s help, become an imitator of Jesus Christ.  I know that having self- control is very important.  I have to become an example for the world by serving the Lord.  We say a lot more with our actions than our words.  How do we learn how to trust and obey Jesus Christ?  You can do this by making yourself available to Him.  Giving some of your time with God, helps you to learn how to trust and obey Him.  I know that there are a lot of things that we are going to be tempted to do, but if the Lord’s will, we can get out of it by maintaining our faith in Him.  I am able to stay positive; in spite of all of our personal problems.  I love all of you very much.  Please keep me in your prayers because I have a lot of health problems.  We must make an appointment with Jesus Christ!!

What Does It Mean To Be A Child of God??????????

What does it mean to be a child of God?

Good Evening Everyone!! I would like to start off by asking everyone a question.  What does it mean to be a child of God?  A child of God is a person who is pleasant to be around, nice, respectful, helpful, courteous, kind, honest, truthful, friendly, and always eager to do things for his or her community.  According to Proverbs 15:1, it says that a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 

Further, a child of God is a person who loves the environment and the people inside of it.  A child of God is a person who takes everything very seriously.  A child of God, dwells with other children of God, and together, they get things done.  Proverbs 14:30 says a heart of peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.  I am saying this because I am looking to God to supply all of my needs.  I stop expecting other people to meet my personal needs. 

God is a very good God.  I need to obey God’s instruction without rest.  Therefore, according to Genesis 22:14, it states that the Lord will provide.  Moreover, I want to tell everyone that in my personal life, I am responsible for hearing voices.  I hear God’s voice as well as the voice of the world.  God makes me lie down.  I am not a person who is confused about my religion.  It is that, I am trying to read His Word, and test all of the Spirits to see if they are from God. 

In Addition, I want to inform everyone that I am a person who is very truthful.  I am a person who is sincere, quiet, compassionate, intelligent, smart, kind, pleasant, and humble.  I am a person who is always seeking God’s Voice.  I am a person that seeks beauty in life because beauty inspires.  I want to let everyone know that God loves me in the same way I love others.  I need to surround myself with nature.  I need to get in touch with God first and foremost.  Please let the first 5 to 10 minutes be with God every single day.  I am a person who loves nature and God. 

Also, I used to be a person who is lonely, particularly when it comes from connecting with someone from the opposite sex.  I will admit that I have made a mistake dealing with psychics and mediums all of the time.  I really felt like a complete fool because according to Leviticus 19:31 says do not turn to mediums or Spiritism to be defiled by them, I am the Lord.  I have made a big mistake dealing with these people and believing in what they were saying to me.  I really feel much better right now because God is my Protector.  I am a person who used to dwell inside of the world so much that I have forsaken God, and therefore, I did not receive my blessings.  I will no longer forsake God!!  I trust in the dark valleys.

Finally, I do not have all of the answers, but God does.  I am going to let God be my defender.  My life has been filled with ups and downs during the past 20 years.  I have been suffering from depression and despair.  Even though, I graduated from college, and worked inside of the field of Social Work and Library Sciences.  I have worked in the Education profession as well.  I want to let everyone know that I am ready to do God’s Work.  I am a 52 year old man who is able and ready to do God’s Work.  My life has been messed up because I do not have my mother here with me as well as my sister whom I am close to.  I will admit that my faith in God is very strong right now because I literally believe that I am a Child of the Living God.  I am a work in process.  I am a person who believes in God.  I read His Word every single day of the week.  I am a person who is very meek as well.  May the Lord God Bless All of You!!

The Holy Spirit vs Mankind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Holy Spirit vs Mankind

            The purpose of this blog is to try to help those who understand God, and who has the Holy Spirit inside of us.  Mankind believes in the things of man.  I know that it is not very easy for any of us to understand God.  I want to inform all of you that this is a battle between good vs evil.  I would like to tell everyone that Mankind only lives in the moment.  Romans 8:9 says you, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not.  This means that God dwells inside of us.  There are those who do not believe that they have God inside of them.  Do you know that every time I type a blog, I usually start crying because it is God who is inside of me convicts me of all of my sins and forms of unrighteousness?

Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. God is responsible for changing me for the better.  I still have a long way to go when it comes to my character.  I know that I have a problem with people who are sarcastic and rebellious.  The Lord has forgiven me.  It is Jesus who is doing for me, more than I am doing for myself.  The dove represents peace.  It also represents the Holy Spirit.  Mankind thinks of doves as just birds. 

          The Holy Spirit is our Helper.  It guides us to the point where it gives us direction in advance.  Mankind perceives the Helper as something that does not exist.  I want to inform all of you that I am the type of person who loves God; a whole lot.  If anyone gets sarcastic with me, I am prone to retaliate.  The Lord is one who gives us grace and love in our personal lives.

 The Helper is located in the 14th Chapter in the 26th verse but the The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to.  Glory means that you want your life to be like God. According to Mankind, man places more emphasis on holidays and other things rather than God.  Mankind always makes decisions that goes against God.  Mankind always does the things of the world for their own gratification.  Man goes against God Isaiah 59:2.

 Man tends to make decisions to always stray away from God.  The Holy Spirit grieves while inside of man.  Romans 8:26 says we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. New Living Translation and the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.  The Holy Spirit dwells inside of us for the rest of our lives.  However, God will let you live all by yourself in a reprobate mind when it comes to Romans 1:28-32.

The Fruits of The Spirit Pro and Cons!!!!!!!!!!

The Fruits of the Spirit Pro and Cons

        This is an essay that will place emphasis on the Fruits of The Spirit.  The Fruits of the Spirit are as follows Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and Temperance.  First, I would like to say that I am going to focus on Temperance.  Let’s look at the definition of the word temperance.  Temperance is The Greek definition of temperance translates to “moderation in action, thought, or feeling; restraint”. 

Temperance is a major Athenian virtue, as advocated by Plato; self-restraint .(sôphrosune) is one of his four core virtues of the ideal city, and echoed by Aristotle. Definition of temperance. 1 : moderation in action, thought, or feeling : restraint. 2a : habitual moderation in the indulgence of the appetites or passions. b : moderation in or abstinence from the use of alcoholic beverages.

Next, I want to say that I am going to express the pros and the cons of the Fruits of the Spirit right now.  The Pros are as follows: When it comes to the word temperance, I think of self-control.  This is because I have to conduct myself like an adult.  Another Pro to the fruits of the Spirit is proper conduct as a Christian.  I know for me personally, I have to say that I have changed my behavior because I have to learn how to get honest with myself because I got sick and tired of being inside of Jails and Institutions. 

Further, I want to say that moral conduct is very important when it comes to the Fruits of The Spirit.  For me personally, I also got tired of spending my money on lewd women.  I got tired of walking the streets inside of my hometown all night long searching for a female to spend time with.  I have spent a total of $116,977 dollars on sex and getting scammed out of money by computer hackers and scammers.  For proof, please examine my yahoo account.  I have retained the pictures of the women that scammed me out of money.

Also, I want to say that I have spent so much money on foolishness that I got tired of getting hurt by women.  This includes my ex-wife.  She made a fool out of me by hanging around in the streets getting high off of crack cocaine.  She also cheated on me with another man.  All of this took place during the time I was married.  My marriage has been annulled right now. 

The cons to the Fruits of the Spirit are additional sin.  I want to inform all of you that there was a time when I did not care about myself.  I neglected myself by sleeping at bus stops and going back and forth to institutions.  For Example, I was hospitalized inside of Broughton State Psychiatric Hospital in Morganton, NC.

 I was inside of the facility for fighting a Psychiatrist because he prescribed me Prolixin, which is an anti-psychotic medication that is used to treat Bipolar Disorder. 

Therefore, I was hospitalized a total of 27 times within the past 22 years.  I was hospitalized inside of Summit Behavior Hospital for crimes that I did not commit.  Even though I have been clean and sober for the past 29 years now.  I still have a tendency to act like a newcomer inside of the Alcoholics Anonymous Program.  I had to complete the 12 Steps a total of 7 times.  The reason why is simply because my AA Sponsor indicated that I was not honest enough.  I have told him the truth, and he did not believe me as a person.

Finally, I want to inform everyone that self-control and the Fruits of the Spirit are a challenge for me right now.  I view myself as an impulsive person.  Even though I have a lot of common sense, but I get angry very easily.  I guess I have been the type of person who will have to show everyone better than I can tell you.  I am not as angry as I used to be.  I have changed a whole lot since 1990.  During that year, I was involved with a relationship with a female who did not love me personally.  I say that I have more self-control than ever before. 

In Conclusion, I have to learn how to stop running away from my problems and get real!!!!!!!  I have common sense, but there are times when I sure do not act like I have common sense.  I will admit that I have allowed people to take advantage of me as a person.  I am more proactive than reactive as a person.  I have changed a lot in my life.  Like they say, common sense is better than nonsense!!

Rest and Relaxation!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest and Relaxation

This is a report on what it really means to gain rest and relaxation. What does it mean to gain rest and relaxation? This is taking the load off from having a stressful day or a day where demands are high. This is also a time to lie down and allow the body to rest and adjust. Do you know that when you are relaxed, you feel 100% better? Your body feels just right. This is also a time when everything that pertains to your five senses is well in sync. You are able to see, hear, smell, touch and taste better. This is also a time when you are less stressed but extremely blessed. When you wake up in the morning and see, smell, hear, breathe, touch, taste, walk, and your extremities move, you are blessed.

This means that you are a living soul. It is really nice to know that all of God’s Children are able to become ultimately blessed to live to see another day. We as God’s Children are supposed to love each other and to share in the delight of His Deeds. God wants His children to help those who are not able to help themselves. Relaxation on the other hand is when you are not stressed out from going to work or engaging in any stressful activities. For instance, watching television and taking a nap is very important. When a person is relaxed, they are allowing your body to heal itself without the use of medication. A person can allow God and Human Nature to assist in the rest and relaxation process. This process consists of complete meditation and deep thought. This allows the human body as well as the brain that we possess to heal.

Healing of the body should never in life require medication from a doctor. This process alone requires a person to allow what God has created to heal you. This means throwing away medications that any doctor prescribes for you to sleep at night and adjust your body on your own. I have noticed a tremendous change inside of my own body by not taking excessive medications that I had been prescribed from doctors from Charlotte to treat specific illnesses. I have relied on God, nature, meditation, as well as reading the Bible each day to feel much better. My body has completely repaired itself on its own. Therefore, I recommend to anyone who has been over prescribed medications from physicians to make a change right now. This means to allow, religious practices, a Power that is greater than yourself, meditation, and nature itself to heal yourself.

Just by reclining down on a couch or bed and meditate each day, as well as prayer really helps. Many might not agree, but when you try this each day, it will enable you to feel much better. Allowing yourself to heal naturally really helps tremendously. Staying prayerful and optimistic each and every single day helps as well. This means staying positive all of the time. This means eliminating all of your distractions by meditating, praying, enjoying nature and the environment itself. Nature itself can really heal anyone who is willing to make a complete change in their lives. Learning how to listen to others and respecting their opinion is important. I am not saying to adapt to their way of living as your own lifestyle, but allow yourself to become flexible and versatile by listening to another opinion other than your own. Listening to music each and every day especially music that is capable of soothing the soul helps. It heals the body by allowing the brain to process information as a means of therapy.

Therefore, music therapy is extremely important. It varies according to the mood of the individual and in some cases his or her own circumstances. Animal therapy is another practice that allows the body to heal because animals provide unconditional love to people as long as you treat them right. Nature is therapy because it heals the body because it helps anyone to recover from all types of illnesses. This is a whole lot better than taking medicine. Acupuncture as a method heals the body by allowing the body to receive medicated prongs that are applied to the pressure points that are located in specific areas of the body to heal you.

 This enables people to heal as well as receiving a chiropractic adjustment will help the body to become well aligned and in tuned. Furthermore, it is important to rest everyday and take the load off by taking a break from whatever you are doing and just relax. This also alleviates burnout and it also prevents you from becoming stressed out from environmental demands and tasks that are related to employment. This also pertains to relationships, when couples argue each and every single day; this means that your relationship is out of sync.

One more thing, never underestimate others!!! This means that you do not know them or their situation. This means that you are not in their face and making a specific point. Therefore, it is very important to get to know others for who they are before passing judgments. When you judge others, you are being judged yourself. This will be measured right back at you. Only character is analyzed when it comes to dealing with people. You are only getting to know others for who they are based on just being around them instead of throwing personal attacks. People become victims of defamation of character each and every single day. This is happening to me as we speak because there are people making statements about me each day and slandering me when they really do not personally know me.

 Even if you know me, you are shooting lies and making statements when you should come directly to my face. A person can become excommunicated in their own city that they live. This is a shame because no one on the face of this earth should ever feel excommunicated and persecuted by others. This can affect the psyche of others. This means that people enjoy gossiping about others without telling them directly to their face how they really feel about them. In conclusion, it is very important to rest and relax each and every single day.

This also means to eliminate stress in your own life, try nature, meditation, religion, prayer, and music because this helps. Animal therapy as well as having a positive outlook on life itself really helps. Other alternative therapy techniques will enable anyone to feel much better from the inside out. Trust me, no one on earth would never want to take excessive medications to deal with specific problems. Taking excessive medications only makes things worse. A doctor should never be stupid enough to over prescribe medications to any of their patients. Remember, to get to know anyone in life, make sure that you come directly to their face and introduce yourself okay!!!!

What are the Differences between Men and Women?

What are the differences between men and women?

Good Afternoon and God Bless You!!  I would like to start things off by asking a very important question.  What are the differences between men and women? Let’s start off with men for a moment.  First, men are the first of the gender species to be created by God.  Men are responsible for determining the sex of children.  Men, are stronger than women when it comes to brute strength.  Men, are the more aggressive than women.  Men are capable of earning more money than women.  For example, when it comes to earning money, men earn more money than women.

 The United States Correctional Facilities are filled with men, who committed crimes against humanity.  Men are made up of 75% of the prison population inside of the industrialized world.  Men are more likely to become fathers; however, there are much fewer men who take care of their children.  According to the United States Department of the Census, there are over 60% of women who are raising children.  Therefore, there are more single parent households right now in 2018 than they were in 1985.  I am going to focus on women in a few moments.  The reason why there are more women who are raising children by themselves is simply because of men forgoing their responsibilities as a parent. Minorities are more likely to be unemployed than the majority culture.  What is the definition of the word culture? Culture is a total way of life that is shared by members of a society.  Culture is also made up of men, women, and children from all countries and nationalities.

  Women are the second of God’s creation.  Women are more nurturing than men.  Women are more emotional than men.  Women are more likely to take care of a household than a man.  Women are more likely than a man to earn a college degree; according to the United States Census Bureau 2017.  There are at least 65% of women who enroll in college as a freshman, acquire their degree much faster than a man. 

Women are more deceptive than a man.  When it comes to relationships, 70% of women tend to cheat on their male counterparts because of sexual satisfaction.  When it comes to relationships, women are more active inside of the bedroom, and are the initiators of sex than men.  According to Women’s Health Magazine, a survey was done in the United States in 2010, and it has been confirmed that women are more passionate than their male counterparts.  Men are supposed to be initiators of a sexual encounter during a love making process.  Women are the rib of a man according to Genesis 2:22 says The Lord God had taken a rib out of man to make woman, and God has brought her to man.  Women are the helpmate of man.

 It is obvious to everyone that our world was populated immediately after the Great Flood in Genesis 8th Chapter.  Prior to the Great Flood of the Earth, Noah had taken every animal species male and female and brought it inside of the ark.  When a person think about things, it is men and women together have children that are made up of the genetic makeup of both parents.  A child has 50% features from both parents.  Back to the lecture at hand, women mature faster than men.  Women, while being girls, go through puberty much faster than boys.  It is apparent to everyone that women are more likely than a man to compromise during a relationship. 

Women are more likely to be smarter than men.  When it comes to occupations, women are more likely than a man to become a nurse or a social worker.  When it comes to empathy, women are more emphatic than men.  When it comes to learning, both are alike when it comes to learned behaviors.  Both men and women are alike when it comes to learning new things.  However, men tend to get more frustrated when it comes to abstract learning than women.  Men are more likely to remain on recreational drugs and cigarettes than a woman. 

Finally, women are more promiscuous than a man.  It is not very easy for men to stop smoking cigarettes.  When it comes to education, girls are more likely to graduate from high school than boys.  Whereas, boys are more athletic than girls.  This blog has been written to determine the differences between men and women.  This blog has been written by Anthony Joseph Hopkins of Dayton, Ohio.  Anthony Joseph Hopkins is a graduate from the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio (1993 &1995) respectively.  Anthony Joseph Hopkins has worked in the field of Social Work as well as Library Sciences for a total of 12 years.

  Women are the second of God’s creation.  Women are more nurturing than men.  Women are more emotional than men.  Women are more likely to take care of a household than a man.  Women are more likely than a man to earn a college degree; according to the United States Census Bureau 2017.  There are at least 65% of women who enroll in college as a freshman, acquire their degree much faster than a man. 

Women are more deceptive than a man.  When it comes to relationships, 70% of women tend to cheat on their male counterparts because of sexual satisfaction.  When it comes to relationships, women are more active inside of the bedroom, and are the initiators of sex than men.  According to Women’s Health Magazine, a survey was done in the United States in 2010, and it has been confirmed that women are more passionate than their male counterparts.  Men are supposed to be initiators of a sexual encounter during a love making process.  Women are the rib of a man according to Genesis 2:22 says The Lord God had taken a rib out of man to make woman, and God has brought her to man.  Women are the helpmate of man.

 It is obvious to everyone that our world was populated immediately after the Great Flood in Genesis 8th Chapter.  Prior to the Great Flood of the Earth, Noah had taken every animal species male and female and brought it inside of the ark.  When a person think about things, it is men and women together have children that are made up of the genetic makeup of both parents.  A child has 50% features from both parents.  Back to the lecture at hand, women mature faster than men.  Women, while being girls, go through puberty much faster than boys.  It is apparent to everyone that women are more likely than a man to compromise during a relationship. 

Women are more likely to be smarter than men.  When it comes to occupations, women are more likely than a man to become a nurse or a social worker.  When it comes to empathy, women are more emphatic than men.  When it comes to learning, both are alike when it comes to learned behaviors.  Both men and women are alike when it comes to learning new things.  However, men tend to get more frustrated when it comes to abstract learning than women.  Men are more likely to remain on recreational drugs and cigarettes than a woman. 

Finally, women are more promiscuous than a man.  It is not very easy for men to stop smoking cigarettes.  When it comes to education, girls are more likely to graduate from high school than boys.  Whereas, boys are more athletic than girls.  This blog has been written to determine the differences between men and women.  This blog has been written by Anthony Joseph Hopkins of Dayton, Ohio.  Anthony Joseph Hopkins is a graduate from the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio (1993 &1995) respectively.  Anthony Joseph Hopkins has worked in the field of Social Work as well as Library Sciences for a total of 12 years.

Values and Norms

Values & Norms

This is a blog on values and norms.  It is very important that we have values and norms in our daily lives.  It is extremely necessary that we have them because it provides structure, direction, consistency, as well as a basis for mankind to follow.  What are values?  A value is something that we believe in from the very beginning.  This is established just from being around our parents.  Our traditional beliefs such as maintaining life abundantly, as well as the importance of education are examples of values.  Values can also be religious based as well as it can pertain to the things that our parents were reared with.

 Values can also give us the guidelines and the basis for life because it keeps our behavior in check.  What are norms?  This is a very good question.  A norm is rule based.  This is simply because we as human beings will have to follow and obey the laws of society.  These norms are also pertaining to the Bible as well as the laws that mankind has established for us.  For instance, if a child does not attend school, it is the parents fault.  The child and parents are responsible for this behavior.  Accountability is very important because this is taking full responsibility for your own actions.  Admitting your role in your own situation and being truthful and frank about it is very important.

 If there are 10 Commandments inside of the Holy Bible, there are also laws that apply to mankind, so it is important for men, women, and children to adhere to these laws on a daily basis.  I am going to admit that I am a private citizen as well as one who complies with the law on a daily basis.  I am also one who adheres to the laws of the Bible on a daily basis.  This is also based on reading the Bible as well as performing deeds that God and Jesus Christ wants mankind to do.  This is simply by having unconditional love inside of your entire heart.  There are men, women, and children who do not adhere to the laws of both the Bible and mankind.  I pray for these individuals each and every day that these individuals would reform.  I am prayerful and truthful by saying that anyone can change, only if they give themselves a chance.

  Even when it pertains to the Criminal Justice System, it is very important that all criminals as well as those who are already incarcerated should be entitled to change.  Justice for the guilty comes from the courts by proving that those who are guilty be tried and convicted for all of their wrongs.  This is the truth in many cases of those who are fleeing from justice.  It does not make sense to run away from your problems.  You must face your fears as well as all of your problems head on.  If someone is afraid of justice, this means they are afraid of themselves as human beings as well as the devil that they are serving.

This is not a service of God for mankind to avoid their problems and put them behind.  This means that you are a person who has a real problem with yourselves.  I am not a person who is neither judging nor one who passes judgment towards others.  This is a call for all of those who continue to run away from their own problems to examine yourselves and get real.  Because sooner or later, God will call you on your stuff all by Himself!!!! 

Norms and Values go hand in hand in our society because it gives mankind the consistency that it needs as well as the equality that our society needs.  Humans and Society itself needs balance as well as equilibrium in order to survive and live in a changing environment.  This also means that men must respect women as well as women respect men and children.  This also means that we are supposed to learn to love one another and to talk to each other when it comes to specific problems that we have with each other.  I personally value peace, love, harmony, family, education, diversity, religion, as well as harmony in relationships.

 If there is no peace inside of families and relationships, then there is no love or equity within mankind itself.  Therefore, it is extremely important to release whatever garbage that one has inside of them constructively and positively.  This in fact can have an adverse affect on our values and beliefs system.  This can distort and disrupt our personal lives.  Never allow your values and norms to cause disruption in your personal lives as well as relationships with others.  Always become law abiding citizens for a change.

Sincerely,

Anthony Hopkins

The Right DIRECTION

Touching Lives with James Merritt DAILY DEVOTIONAL EMAIL Subscribe to receive the daily devotional from Dr. James Merritt right into your inbox SUBSCRIBE The Right Direction January 22, 2021 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. (1 Corinthians 9:25-27) Yesterday we talked about running the race of life to win. If you’re going to have to run, you might as well run to win, right? Well, part of running to win is making sure you’re running in the right direction. If you are running in the wrong direction, it doesn’t matter how hard you run, how fast you run, or how far you run. You don’t win a race by just running around in circles or running where you think you ought to run. You have to run toward the finish line. You don’t win a boxing match by just throwing punches in the air. You don’t win a boxing match by swinging wildly and hoping something connects. In both cases, you’ve got to be focused on the finish and focused on the fight. If your aim is not right, you will hit the wrong target every time. If you’re going to run in the right direction, you first have to determine what the right direction is. To do that, you’ve got to decide, “Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?” Too many people are just shadow boxing. Most people in life are not serious about life. Let me tell you why. You are not serious about life, until you are serious about God, and if you are not headed toward God, the will of God, the work of God, the worship of God, you are headed in the wrong direction. You are just running around in circles. You are just throwing punches into the air. I don’t want to run the race of life only to realize at the end of the day, I was running in the wrong direction. If you are living life the way it was meant to be lived, every day brings you closer to Jesus, not farther away. You need to focus on the finish and the finish is not a place; the finish is a person named Jesus. To win the race, you’ve got to go in the right direction. Dear Father, I want nothing more than to run in the right direction towards you, your will, and your plan for my life. Keep me in line with the path you have marked out for me, and give me the strength to withstand the temptation to veer off in the wrong direction. In Jesus’ name, amen. Topics: Perseverance Bible Reference 1 Corinthians 9:25-27 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

What is the Difference between a Soul and The Holy Spirit?

What is the Difference between a Soul and The Holy Spirit?

        This is a comparison and contrast essay that is based on two definitions.  First, what is the definition of the word soul?  The definition of the word soul is an entity which is regarded as being the immortal or spiritual part of the person, and though having no physical or material reality, and is credited with the functions of thinking and willing; hence, determining all behavior.  Another definition of the word soul is the moral or emotional nature of a human being.

        Second, the definition of the word spirit will be emphasized right now.  A spirit is the life principle, especially in human beings; originally regarded as inherent in the breath or as infused by a deity.  Your soul is your mind and body.  Your soul also consists of emotions as well.  Everything comes from your spirit.

        The definition of the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God; specifically the third person of the Trinity.  The definition of the word Trinity is the condition of being three or threefold.  It is also a union of three divine persons.  God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit; in one Godhead.  Your soul tells you what to think, act, and feel.  It is greater than what I feel.  The word of God is very powerful.  What we think, want, and feel comes from the soul.  In reference to Satan, he will use your feelings to keep you away from God.  I would prefer to have someone who is committed to me.  Satan controls us emotionally.  He wants us to be independent of God’s Will.  Satan keeps us preoccupied by putting negative thoughts in our mind. 

        We are addicted to convenience.  The Christian must not be emotional.  Emotional means to be led by our feelings.  We have power over Satan.  Whenever he is attacking us; we do not have to act like him.  The word of God is powerful enough to penetrate through bone and marrow.  We have to understand the importance of living for the Lord.  Satan will use your feelings to keep you away from God.  There is a big difference between excitement and commitment. 

        We have to learn how to live beyond how we feel.  Satan wants to control us.  He wants is to be passive.  You are waiting to feel and use an outside force.  The first place Satan attacks is your mind.  The mind is the battlefield.  People have lots of problems with their mind.

 Satan uses suffering.  He will also attack your body.  He wants to rule us.  We have a spirit.  We have intuition.  We have a body.  We have a mind.  We can have a messed up soul and mind at the same time.  We can never get our soul right.  Our soul tells us what we are feeling.

        We become addicted to convenience.  We have to control our emotions.  To feel emotional means that we are led by our feelings.  We are supposed to act like God.  Decisions control our emotions.  We need to hear from the Lord.  Love is not a feeling; it is an action.  No matter how we feel and treat people, we must put on love.  We must make a decision to put on love, mercy, and praise.

        We must set our minds for the Lord.  Never let Satan steal your joy.  There are times when we live by our emotions.  It is our responsibility to live within our means.  When you are led by emotions, we tend to do things excessively.  We also have to learn how to keep our commitments.  We do not want to do things that are based on emotions.  Never let your emotions give you trouble.  1st John 4:4 says Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

        Use your time wisely.  We must be obedient to God.  Discipline and Self Control are very important.  We must discipline our thoughts and our words.  Obedience is connected to how we love Jesus Christ.  We are supposed to be lights that are shining in a dark place. 

        Getting our way is not reality.  God is telling us to do for our convenience.  God tells us things to save us from a lifetime or agony and pain.  Sometimes it is not what we say; it is how you say it.

        The mouth is the most difficult to control.  God, I want you to do things through me.  The tongue is a consuming fire. I am nothing without you Lord.  We have to humbly allow God to teach us.  Only a fool hates correction.  Satan will try to irritate you just to get your attention.  Complain means I remain.  Praise means to be raised. 

        We need self-control in our lives.  We have to allow God to control our emotions.  Believe in God and also believe in me.  Am I being obedient to God? If you let God be in the driver’s seat.  Always pray and then plan to work on the Holy Spirit, and allow the spirit to plan for you. God, I want you to lead me.  Always make a decision to be good to people.  We need to start praising God for His mercy and goodness.  Thank you for reading my essay.
