shared by Gary Patton on 30 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • Lifestyle Evangelism Refuted
  • Joseph Aldrich said, "Sometimes the only exposure to evangelism for believers is being part of a weekly task force on a 'spiritual safari' into enemy territory. On such forays total strangers are confronted with a verbal message said to be the Gospel."
  • Rather, they feel they are simply obeying the Great Commission, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Nowhere in Scripture is the Christian told to incarnate the Gospel.
  • "button-holing and evangelical mugging."
  • This false philosophy teaches that we witness with our life rather than our lips.

    Dr. Hutson refutes something that Joseph Aldrich never taught and many practitioners do do by "cheery-picking" short quotes from Mr. Aldrich's book. GaryFPatton (gfp '42™ 2012-07-30) Few Jesus Followers I know use only their behaviour and deeds to be used by Holy Spirit to draw their friends, neighbours, relatives, and workmates to a saving knowledge of Jesus of Nazareth.

  • conventional cholesterol values are next to useless. Tracking the right data is crucial.
  • most people don’t measure this
  • small LDL is the #1 most common cause for heart disease in the U.S., not “high cholesterol.” Wheat consumption increases small LDL particles; wheat elimination is the most powerful tool available for reduction of small LDL particles, particularly when combined with weight loss.
  • CRP and other measures of inflammation drop to the floor with wheat elimination.
  • Wheat products are a convenient source of indigestible fiber. But the idea that you must have whole grains from wheat to obtain sufficient fiber is pure fiction. There are plenty of other foods that are rich in fiber.
  • non-wheat fibers low in carbohydrates, especially flaxseed and chia.
  • They do not have any effect on blood sugar.
  • wheat consumption changes the bacterial composition of your intestinal tract. Taking a probiotic for a few weeks can provide organisms like lactobacillus and bifidobacterium that help regain normal bacterial populations.
  • So going wheat-free does not mean a lifetime of pushing and straining,

    Modern wheat, especially whole wheat contributes to the pandemic of arthritis, cancer, Type II Diabetes, obesity and all lifestyle diseases. And when it doesn't, wheat is still a "Stealth Killer" of men, women and our children and grandchildren Ours is NOT the wheat our Grandmas used to bake with! And this is true no matter where you live in the world because Canadian-designed hybridized-wheat has been spread everywhere ...even into isolated areas of China because of it's yields! It's additional huge benefit (pun intended) is "Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight"! gfp (2011-11-26)

      And the biggest disgrace in this "big grab" by the "Scientific-Administrative Complex" is the so-called "War on Cancer" which has bilked billions from a public terrified by the "C Word". All the so-called "experts" knew the natural cure for cancer over 40 years ago when the Scientific-Administartive Complex launched, with the help of bumbling government bureaucrats, "The War on Cancer". Billions of raised, charity dollars later, we have a bigger problem with cancer and more people dying horrible deaths than ever. Meanwhile "researchers", "all wellness societies' management", and three different "physician specialities" are making huge salaries . The Scientific-Administrative Complex will NEVER find a pill or a treatment cure for cancer ...never mind the fact that only God "cures"... because you can't cure a lifestyle or genetic problem with a pill or a treatment. And we all know that the majority of cancers result from lifestyle issues. gfp

      If you're just entering the work force or applying for a new job, don't make the terrible mistake of 64% of college students who ask about their prospective empoyer's social media usage policies in the middle of their job interviews. Approximately 24% also foolishly say it would be a key factor in accepting the offer. If you want to use social media when you're supposed to be working, unless you're being hired to make business posts for you're empoyer, set up your own company because the business world is NOT going to accomodate your preferences on their dime!
  • Cisco recently published its Connected World Report, the results of which are quite shocking.
  • Out of 2,800 college students and young professionals under the age of 30 and hailing from 14 countries, approximately one in three said he/she would prioritize social media freedom, device flexibility and work mobility over salary in accepting a job offer.

      This is an incredible comment on the lack of wisdom and the sense of entitlement that too many parents of GenY's have inculcated in them, in my opinion. In 2012's and future difficult job markets where few will have the kinds of fulltime jobs prior generations had, this is unbelievably unwise.
  • A Generation Y and Facebook study done by Millennial Branding and Identified shows that Gen-Yers are using their personal networks and profiles as an extension of their professional personality. Even though they are using Facebook to mostly socialize with family and friends, they are inadvertently blending the two.

      And when you're asked to prove the value-added you are bringing to your organization by this currently ozymoronic blend, you'll be OK ONLY have you have solid, verifiable proof that you're adding value. Otherwise, you'll probably be fired! The market's full of others who will do it the way most CEOs still want it done ...without attitude or compalining. You can change your organization's culture when you are rewarded, for your value-adding in the way your boss wants it done, by being promoted to senior management. In the meantime: "Do it their way!" ...not Frank Sinatra's recommended "my way"!

      What's the big deal here! It's only members of GenAncient and too many empoyeees in bureaucracies and unions who stayed with one or two organizations thoughout their working life. I started work after University in 1966 and have changed career directions about 10 times even after setting up my own company in 1984 ...when many GenY's weren't even born!
  • If large corporations want to remain competitive, they need to aggressively recruit Gen-Y workers
    • Gary Patton
      Gary Patton on 28 Jan 12
       
      And if GenYs are S-M-A-R-T, they'll resist any allures to get into big business. Set up your own company and retain a measure of freedom. "Rich Dad" in Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad; Poor Dad" wass right on with his advice to students now and in the forseeable future. And if you don't know what that advice was, your in trouble in the 21st Century economy that I foresee.
  • These studies show that if companies want to retain young talent, they need to display trust in their young workforce and allow Gen-Yers to operate entrepreneurially within the corporation by giving them control over their time and activities.

      While I agree this is accurate for many young people who control their attitude and sense of entitlement, most senior managements don't buy this and they currently run the business world. So get over it for now if you want a job-job! Your best route however is: "Set up your own shop ASAP ..or get with the program!!" ~ gfp '42™
