ANTI-SEMETISM IN THE CHURCH

The debate as to whether AI is an “existential” threat to the human race is too short-focused.
–
Set your parameters at 300 years and then ask if you are so confident nothing will have changed in the balance of power between man and machine.
–
The debate is also too near-sighted. The dangers of AI run much deeper than technology.

The central command of Christ is for us to love one another as He loved us.
–
God did not design humans for broken relationships.

-> Stop studying hate.
-> Stop thinking about hate.
-> Stop trying to stop hate.
-> FORGET ABOUT hate!
–
You’re just giving it MORE POWER.

God predicted an increase in the supernatural in the last days (Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17)

Socrates said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” 

To that, I would add: “The unexamined belief is not worth having.”

Find out where the American church has really gone wrong!

Those in the church who have treated you as though you are the enemy do not understand the Bible.
–
The Bible says that if we say we love God but do not love our brother we lie and the truth is not in us (1 John 4:20).
–
And YOU ARE our brother, our sister, our neighbor (Luke 10:25-37).
–
Many sincere Christians are so sorry for what so many in the Evangelical church have intentionally done to hurt you with religion! There are many of us in ‘conservative’ churches who do truly love you, deeply, even if we may not always agree with you. If you haven’t met us yet, forget whose fault that is, let’s just fix it…we’d love to hang out with you some time!

Bearing the Lord’s burdens means to be troubled by the things that trouble Him.
–
First we learn to cast our own burdens on the Lord…
…
then to bear one another’s burdens…
…
And finally we learn to bear the burdens of Christ through revival praying.

The root source of identity is not sex, but belovedness, a thing for which all of us long–and which all of us can have!

Leadership is loving God and people in front of others and showing them how to do it.

Flee the temptation to rely on yourself to minister the Grace of God.
–
It is so easy to get caught up in our own programs and not realize Jesus no longer feels welcome on our planning committee. (Rev. 3:20)

Unless God is with us as we minister, we will never set anybody free.
–
Only the good that comes from the Father’s leading will accomplish anything truly good in people’s lives and leave a lasting memory in those who witness it.

Nothing in our lives glorifies God BUT the fruit of the Spirit.
–
Only the Holy Spirit IN us can live the Christian life!
