  • Christians are the most easily offended people in the world. We should be the least.
  • The Forgotten Beatitude
  • in the eyes of the wise and discerning believer, any statement that has a defamatory tone is discredited out of the gate.
  • Gary Patton on 13 Mar 12
     
    The word "offend" in the New Testament means to trip, stumble, or fall away. Frank Viola, a Christian author and teacher uses the word here with a specific connotation. Being offended is to get so upset with someone that you hold a grudge against them or retaliate actively or passively. Hurt feelings aren't the same as being offended. Mr. Viola says: "Too often, Christians choose to be offended when their feelings get hurt. Christians are the most easily offended people in the world. We should be the least." gfp (2012-03-13)

      You can defeat the myth of work-life balance by striving for "harmony" not mythical "balance" is what I've been teaching in my Stress Optimization program for over a decade! Because this so-called "new idea" is not accepted in the mainstream, you'll discover below a disclaimer saying that work-life balance as a myth "expresses the writer's view alone." Duh!

      I don't agree! If no needs to be said for you to be "on purpose": Say no ...regardless of your amount of leverage! Not learning how to say "no" wisely is one of the most dis-stress life-skill lacks from which many people suffer! But, ask some questions first around your options and choices when asked to do something so you not they retain control.

  • Gratitude is an expression of the heart and it is a powerful and positive emotional energy that can add hope and resilience in your life,
  • experts say that the act of simply recalling a time of feeling sincere appreciation and then intentionally focusing on that feeling for a few moments can reduce emotional stress
  • In HeartMath study it was observed that just five minutes of genuinely feeling a positive emotion such as appreciation, care and or compassion can give a beneficial boost to the immune system.
  • positive emotions like appreciation can increase heart-rhythm coherence. Coherence is a balance or smoothness in one’s heart rhythms.
  • researchers found that those patients who acknowledged benefits from their heart attack, such as becoming more appreciative of life, experienced a lower risk of having another heart attack.
  • if someone finds it initially difficult to self-generate a feeling of appreciation in the present moment then they can recall a past memory that elicits a warm feeling. With practice, most people will find that they can self-generate feelings of appreciation in real-time.”
  • Positive emotion-refocusing techniques, like those researched and developed by HeartMath, can create a physiological shift in individuals such as changing one’s heart rhythms to a healthier pattern. The techniques can also help individuals effectively replace stressful thoughts and emotional patterns with positive perceptions and emotions like appreciation.

    In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, the Holy Spirit of God commands Jesus Followers to always give thanks to their heavenly Father ...regardless of how we feel or our circumstances. We are never to be "under the circumstances" as the expression says. This article outlines the scientific research that demonstrates for Believers & doubting non-Believers that God knows how He designed us to live best. HeartMath's brain/heart connection research has proven that the Bible's emphasis on 'heart' as well as 'mind' is a scientifically, proven certainty. As is the fact the former drives the latter rather than what is argued by many Bibles teachers. See the documented research. (http://is.gd/6yFcyP) gfp (2011-11-12)

    This Spanish article provides us with a very useful guide to better understand something we all experience: stress. I find it especially valuable that it not only identifies the different types, but also helps us recognize when stress can be beneficial and when it becomes problematic. What strikes me most is the concept of positive stress that motivates us and drives us to grow. We often think of stress as something completely negative, but this article reminds us that a certain level of stress can be our ally in facing challenges and achieving goals. The general strategies it proposes are practical and accessible: from relaxation techniques to the importance of setting boundaries. I find the emphasis on seeking professional support when stress begins to significantly affect our well-being to be fundamental. An essential read for anyone looking to better understand their relationship with stress and develop effective tools to manage it.

The eagle tries her young ones by the sun; Christ tries his children by their courage, that dare to look on the face of death and danger for his sake ..." (Mark 8:34, 35) ~ Pastor William Gurnall (1617–1679) English author & clergyman from Chpt. 1 of his e-Book, "The Christian in Complete Armour ...A Treatise Of the Saints' War Against the Devil" at http://is.gd/Na6TmN "Take heart therefore, O ye saints, and be strong; your cause is good, God himself espouseth your quarrel, who hath appointed you his own Son, General of the field, called 'the Captain of our salvation,’ Heb. 2:10. He shall lead you on with courage, and bring you off with honour. He lived and died for you; he will live and die with you; for mercy and tenderness to his soldiers, none like him. Trajan, it is said, rent his clothes to bind up his soldiers' wounds: Christ poured out his blood as balm to heal his saints' wounds; tears off his flesh to bind them up. For prowess, none to compare with him: he never turned his head from danger: no, not when hell's malice and heaven's justice appeared in field against him; knowing all that should come upon him, [he] went forth and said, 'Whom seek ye?’" (John 18:4) ~ Pastor William Gurnall (1617–1679) English author & clergyman from Chpt. 1 of his e-Book, "The Christian in Complete Armour ...A Treatise Of the Saints' War Against the Devil" at http://is.gd/Na6TmN "In a word, Christians, God and angels are spectators, observing how you quit yourselves like children of the Most High; every exploit your faith doth against sin and Satan causeth a shout in heaven; while you valiantly prostrate this temptation, scale that difficulty, regain the other ground, you even now lost out of your enemies' hands. Your dear Saviour, who stands by with a reserve for your relief at a pinch, his very heart leaps within him for joy to see the proof of your love to him and zeal for him in all your combats; and will not forget all the faithful service you have done in his wars on earth; but when thou comest out of the field, will receive thee with the like joy as he was entertained himself at his return to heaven of his Father." ~ Pastor William Gurnall (1617–1679) English author & clergyman from Chpt. 1 of his e-Book, "The Christian in Complete Armour ...A Treatise Of the Saints' War Against the Devil" at http://is.gd/Na6TmN

      Belief in Jesus' death and resurrection plus confession of Him as Master of your whole life and all your activities is the ONLY way a sinful human being can be reconciled with the "One God" of the Bible, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It says so clearly here and also in Romans 10:8-12 at http://diigo.com/0lk6j . When you have done so, Jesus, in the person of Holy Spirit, comes to live in you as the Bible outlines in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 at http://diigo.com/0qjns . From that moment. every Jesus Follower is living in eternity and you can "know that you know that you know" that your salvation is secure in Jesus as it says in Verse 13 below. But beware, a "Cultural Christian" is NOT a Jesus Follower.
  • These things I have written to you who (I)believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have (J)eternal life.

    The article offers us a comprehensive perspective on child psychology, highlighting its importance in the healthy development of our children. I find it especially valuable how it emphasizes that early intervention is key. As parents, we sometimes minimize certain signs thinking that 'it will pass,' but detecting and addressing problems early can make a significant difference in the child's future well-being. It's reassuring to know that there are evidence-based therapeutic tools adapted to the children's world, such as play therapy and art therapy, which allow children to receive help in a natural and engaging way. I also highlight the comprehensive approach that includes family and educational environment, recognizing that children's well-being is connected to the family and social dynamics surrounding the child. A recommended read for parents, educators, and anyone interested in child welfare.
