A single negative element can negatively impact and contaminate an otherwise positive whole. The document provides numerous examples to illustrate this point, such as how a single rotten apple can spoil other good apples, a single stain can ruin an otherwise clean fabric, and a single lie told can condemn an honest person's reputation. Ultimately, it suggests that a single devilish thought in the mind can ruin one's mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. A SINGLE DEVIL
A single rotten apple with flies feasting on its succulent body; decays the entire
ensemble of robust apples,
A single stain of black dye sprawling rampantly; spoils the beauty of the entire white
fabric,
A single hole in its heavy and metallic body; uncouthly drowns the entire ship,
A single stream of venom oozing gently; contaminates the entire river of impeccable
milk,
A single bit of sewage smelling fetidly; annihilates the beauty of the entire garden
laden with blossoming petals,
A single virus in the blood stream; metamorphoses the individual from rubicund and
healthy to insane and sick,
A single particle of dandruff loitering in animosity; pollutes the entire conglomerate
of lustrous and shining hair,
A single nail overgrown and dirty; imperils the look of the entire palm embossed with
mystical lines,
A single dark cloud in the cosmos; adulterates the entire sky which is blue and
crystal clear,
A single town clock running late; delays the life of the entire city; with most of the
people yawning as the sun crept up in brilliant afternoon,
A single loophole in the house; entices the entire team of burglars to maraud at will;
pilfer stealthily through closed doors at night,
A single crack in the bone; foments the entire leg to walk in contorted pain; limp
across the road for mercy,
A single spark of white electricity; electrocutes the entire family; triggering the house
to explode in volatile fury,
A single crease in the crisp shirt; debases the entire demeanor which was otherwise
quite sparkling and flawless,
A single snore thunderously emanating; breaks the silence of tranquil and
2. blissful sleep,
A single shiver down the petrified spine; engenders the snake to pierce its lethal fangs
and bite,
A single stroke of stringent red; disturbs the harmony of the otherwise splendid
marksheet,
A single lie spoken; condemns a person beyond all anecdotes of his honesty,
And a single devil in the mind; not only ruins all the sanctity previously existing; but
also finishes a person in mind, body and eternal soul.
