Contradictions in the Bible & the thinking heart

This video helps explain the seeming contradiction in Galatians 6 which says to bear one another's burdens but also states all should bear their own load. Contradictions in the Bible can be explained by looking at the original languages, either Hebrew or Greek. Think of it as if you are going down a road and have a ditch on either side. As long as you keep your vehicle in the middle and away from either ditch, you're fine. Go too far in one direction or the other and you're in trouble. The contradictions are close enough in meaning to give a precise way forward, basically saying, "Don't go too far this way, and don't go too far that way either."

I thought it was an interesting video. Here is another interesting video about the "thinking heart." Sorry these are all TikToks. There is a lot of interesting stuff there. The heart does seem to have a mind of its own. It's not just the stuff of romance novels. Also, it does process things separately from the brain. I wish there was more information on this subject, but it is interesting. If you're having trouble reconciling what is in your mind and your heart, God can help. Give Him your struggles and He will provide a solution. 

Thank you for reading. And God bless.

The gift of a closed door

This is an interesting read . You can also listen to it. For those aspiring to be pastors, this may be helpful. I've heard many pastors say God will stop them in their progress or turn them around at some point and redirect them in a way that is bewildering. Maybe this explains why. This doesn't particularly speak to me, but it may be helpful for someone seeking a ministry. I don't feel God has called me to be a pastor and I think a lot of those preaching aren't called by God. They may be called my men (or their mama), but not of God. How can I tell? One can tell. I've been in a lot of churches. Some men (women are not called to preach) have a calling on their lives, and it is obvious. God gives them a charisma for the work because it is hard work. God will draw people to them. When God calls a man to preach, the people will be fed with knowledge and understanding.  One thing God has reinforced with me is toward the end of the article where it says to be faithful in...

A thought for a new year

Image
I just want to encourage you to continue walking with the Lord. There is great gain in it, even if it doesn't seem that way right now. I never saw all the things that were coming this year and have no idea what is coming next year. But I know I will be okay because I know the One who leads me. It's hard to trust sometimes, but it makes more sense to me than knowing everything in advance. I saw God work wonders with things I didn't understand at the time but simply trusted He knew what He was doing. You know what? It turned out better than my plan. So, going forward, my plan is out the window and God's plan is the way forward. Amen?  Happy new year, everyone.  Thank you for reading. And God bless.
