Went to the doc's office this week and as soon as we walked into the reception area the above words blared from the ever-present tv. I asked the receptionist if we could have it turned to the weather channel (while biting my tongue about obnoxious programming). She obliged.
Violent speech is an expression of a violent heart. Speech can also impact how we think and feel (words made flesh). I read just yesterday that only 30% of the youth in Great Britain believe in God. I see a vast field of souls that need our prayers and the good news of Christ.
Such is the path my mind is wandering today.

Re: "I think you're an idiot".
I read yesterday that America is becoming "more spiritual"... Beliefs in heaven, angels, a devil, etc. are all up.. Hell, though, was a hot topic..
Interesting, isn't it? We claim to be more spiritual collectively, but we also claim 1/2 the population to be degenerating. What spirit is at work, I'm not really sure.

Re: "I think you're an idiot".
I think in so many cases of "spiritual interest" we have a good idea of which spirit it is.

I'm not talking about it being good/light or bad/dark. That is rather obvious, as you said.Hats Off wrote:I think in so many cases of "spiritual interest" we have a good idea of which spirit it is.
I didn't mean it in such a simplified way.

Re: "I think you're an idiot".
Sounds like spiritual warfare to me. If people are becoming more interested in the spirit realm and perhaps in areas beyond this life (if that is what "more spiritual" is referring to), it can be a good thing for Kingdom believers. Perhaps more opportunity to share Kingdom life more than when people have the view that this life is all there is.KingdomBuilder wrote:I read yesterday that America is becoming "more spiritual"...

Why do "only 30% of the youth in Great Britain believe in God" ? Could it be that Kingdom life just isn't reflecting a city on a hill that can't be hid ? Are they just seeing dead religion ?

Re: "I think you're an idiot".
Television and radio or music seem to steer the country. Monkey see, monkey do. What young people are born into they see as the norm unfortunately. I made the the mistake of sending 3 of my children to public school. What a really big mistake that was. They come back from school wanting to listen to everything their friends at school listen to, and wanting to live the same lifestyle. And then the older ones try to recruit the younger ones. Terrible situation to be at odds with constantly.
