Seek Peace and Love

With Apostle Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians, he thanked them for growing their faith and love despite the persecution they endured.

He asked for their prayers to have the Lord's message spread as rapidly and easily as it did with them. While Paul addressed many problems in his letters to the churches, sometimes believers just embraced their new holy life style.

Humans have a choice in life to follow what is good or bad.  Making this decision is not usually based on outside pressures (no matter how difficult) but internal worldly programing.

People must be aware that every second of every day they are making a choice on how to think and live.  To find lasting peace and love, people must make a sincere conscious decision for spiritual growth, which can be just a prayer away.

Ask for forgiveness and the Lord Jesus Christ to enter your heart, today!

Think Positive!

While in prison, Apostle Paul wrote to the Philippians about Jesus Christ.  He wanted their love to grow in knowledge, so they could discern what was best.  

He told them to follow his example and not be frightened but to strive for spiritual maturity by focusing on the noble, gentle, true, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy things.

Spiritual growth comes from reducing the negative worldly programing and increasing loving, holy thinking.  

While this is an easy concept to understand, actually replacing the negative thinking with positive can be very difficult because the world glorifies and rewards the bad.

To win against this unloving world, people can accept Jesus Christ into their hearts and then pray to Him for this exchange.

Start The Year With Change

The best was to keep a New Year's resolution is to address the problem directly. 


Way too often people decide to change their lives based on the symptoms of their problems and not the real issues.

Without the desire to resolve the fear, anger, selfishness, blaming, loneliness, worthlessness, etc. from unhealthy thinking, the symptoms will continue in one form or another. 


The only real change comes from digging down deep and taking a stand against the old negative self.

Start the New Year with a new positive self.  If you need some help, remember that God is only a prayer away! 


Happy New Year!

Become Loving

During the numerous subsequent reigning leaders in 2 Kings of the Bible, God sent many prophets and a prophetess to help Judah and Israel.  No matter how good and righteous one king ruled, this could all reverse with the next one.  When the negative finally out weighted the positive, these countries fell to their foreign enemies.

Like nations, people are a mix of negative and positive attributes bombarded with lots of choices.  Some of these decisions will be beneficial and some can even cause destruction.  All people can build up their positive thinking and reduce the negative to grow personally and spiritually.

While there are many arguments for keeping negative beliefs, the best reason to change is for following the one true God.  When humans change their thinking at a deep level to predominately loving thoughts, they become closer to their Lord.  God is Love and wants His human creation to love, also.

We Need God's Help

In the Bible book of 1 Samuel, there are many examples of human failures. 

Samuel replaced Priest Eli and his sons because of their corruption.  After Saul was king, he gave in to public opinion instead of following God, so David had to replace him.

This corrupt world demands conformity and hates anyone that thinks independently.  When people follow God, they must become independent thinkers with out-of-this world beliefs. 

To obtain true spirituality, we must ask our Heavenly Father for help and expect to be outcasts.

Choose Beneficial Thinking

People fill their minds with needless worry, pointless busy work, futile judging, useless efforts rescuing or controlling others, harmful self-criticism and ineffectual future planning.

To change this internal chatter, people can become objective referees to consider both sides of every life experience by contemplating its value and understanding the purposes.

Since obtaining this loving insight is a process, people need to invest in themselves and take the time to choose beneficial thinking.
