Living in Alignment with God’s Will and The Mind of Christ

Introduction:In the journey of Christian faith, believers often find themselves wrestling with the dichotomy between the “carnal mind” and the “renewed mind.” The carnal mind, also referred to as the “worldly mind,” is inclined toward sin, temptation, and the distractions of the flesh. On the other hand, the renewed mind is aligned with the will of God, filled with peace, love, and the presence…

2 Corinthians 7:13 [NLT] ¹³ We have been greatly encouraged by this. In Addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was about the way all of you welcomed him & set his mind [his spirit] at ease.

Nurturing God's Vision: Igniting Your Inner Fire

Having a vision gives life meaning and can positively impact those around you. Discover your calling and gifts. It does not have to be in a pulpit ministry, This can be achieved by entering the house of wisdom (Proverbs 9:1)

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. ( Proverbs 29:18 ) The Power of Vision This verse above underscores the importance of having a vision. A vision gives life meaning and can positively influence those around you. In our earlier studies, we emphasized the significance of discovering your calling and gifts. These may not necessarily involve a…

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

An Example Worth Following

Jesus stripped, spit on, beaten, and mocked. He stood there as they twisted thorns into a crown and shoved it onto His head. He watched as they gambled for His clothes. He was rejected, accused, and crucified—and He endured all of this willingly, because of love.  Imagine having unlimited power and authority, and giving it all up. Imagine voluntarily sacrificing your life so that others could…

Life in the Spirit (Romans 8:1-11)

Life and death are relational terms, communicating either connection or separation.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh [sinful nature] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the…

Am I the asshole for getting my best friend killed?

I swear to God, it was an accident.

My (27) BF (34) has a reputation for getting himself out of any jam you can imagine; and at first it was just a fun little thing the friend group noticed: there goes Oily J wiggling his way out of trouble again. but as the meme evolved in the group, it got to the point where we'd loykey started getting him into situations just to see how he'd get out of 'em, and he akept getting out of em. He was having fun with it too same as us. "Oh you guys," he'd say, "getting me into situations again," before laughing it off and getting out of it, so it was enrichment for our shared enclosures, and as time went on, the situations got more intense.

The trouble is, it turns out that putting a man in too many situations eventually gets the police interested. And not local hobsknockers cops either; they was like, proper three-letter FEDs. They put out a bounty on any information pertaining to his capture and everything. It was good money too so I thought, hey why don't I put J in another situation he can wiggle out of like always (and he'd wiggled outta worse before, so I thought this one'd be relatively mild), and at the next boardgame night (cause it was too late to do anything special for this one) we can buy some extra strong booze and get absolutely blitzed while having a giggle about the situation.

Boardgame night, and we were playing some social deduction nonsense or another and he says: "One of you is gonna betray me tonight." and I can't help but think, looking back on it, that he knew. It's stupid, I know he was talking about the game, but the way he said it, it was like he knew. We all felt it, and we had a big round robin round the table taking turns promising that we'd never betray him. And I said it so easily cause I thought it was true. Sure, I was gonna talk to the feds about a bounty; but, I fully expected my big beautiful oily boy to wiggle his way out of the trouble I was 'bout to cause, and that's not a betrayal. I wasn't lying. I didn't think I was lying.

My big beautiful oily boy didn't manage to wiggle his way out of it. They killed him and I got my blood money. He's gone.

He's gone and I'm devastated, crying, mourning. I loved him so much. We all did. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault: that I'm the reason he's gone. and it is. and the guilt is eating me up inside. and I just need to talk to someone about it. So, I tell the rest of the group what happened in the group chat, hoping they'd understand that I didn't want this. I didn't want the government's blood money. It was supposed the be a prank. some joint enclosure enrichment. He was supposed to wiggle out of it like he always does... did, i mean.

They call me, among worse things, the asshole and kick me from the group chat. And, I know it's my fault he's dead: I know that. If I didn't do what I did, he wouldn't be dead right now. But, I didn't mean it for it to end up this way. He was supposed to be okay, damn it. I loved him. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

Be Inward-minded

Some years ago I was in a meeting where the speaker said that people can be exerting energy in the wrong direction or for the wrong cause even as pertains to the things of God. That sounded really interesting because naturally it would seem that no effort put into serving God should be wasted effort; every bit of it should count!But then I realized that truly someone can be fanatically or…

The Mind of Christ, and Rejecting It

God speaks to us individually, and also collectively as his Body. We must hear him and walk with him individually and also depend on each other for his voice. Believers all have the mind of Christ, but none of us alone has all of the mind of Christ.

This post will discuss four related points: Through his Holy Spirit within us, God has given us “the mind of Christ.” We have the mind of Christ, not so that we may know facts, but so that we may live in it, and so know him. Our experience of the mind of Christ is both an individual and a collective experience, and neither aspect is complete without the other. It is possible to reject God’s…

What’s in Your Mind Really Matters; So does WHO

Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before In the old Star Trek episodes, there was a very unique thing Spock could do called the Vulcan mind meld. He would grip a person’s head between his fingers and then he could actually get into their mind and read their thoughts for a moment. It was certainly a useful tool on the Starship Enterprise, and it gave them vital information from time to time. The…
