God created each person uniquely and did not create anyone as "junk". Jeremiah initially saw himself as a child, but God said not to say that and instead to agree with what God says about you. It is important to allow God to develop the character within each person according to their stage of development, from embryo to senior adult, and not to compare oneself to others or hold oneself back from what God intends. We should rehearse what God says about us so it becomes like a character trait we practice and master.
This document provides information about the Encyclopedia of Religious and Spiritual Development including its editors, advisory board, list of entries, and contributors. The encyclopedia contains over 500 alphabetically organized entries related to religious and spiritual development across the lifespan. It is a reference publication edited by Elizabeth M. Dowling and W. George Scarlett with contributions from scholars in the fields of religion, psychology, and education. The entries cover topics from various world religions, spiritual practices, historical figures, philosophical concepts, and approaches to the study of religious and spiritual development.
This document discusses the relationship between spiritual development and religious development. It mentions two views on religion and provides working definitions of religious development and spiritual development. It also references theories of religious development from Daniel Helminiak and Karl Marx and notes a difficulty with favoring stage theories of religious development.
This document discusses spiritual development in childhood and adolescence. It notes growing interest in spirituality among the public and scholars. There is concern that religious beliefs are not taking root strongly in young people. The document outlines different perspectives on defining and conceptualizing spiritual development. It reviews relevant research traditions including psychoanalytic theories, stage theories, and developmental systems theories. Key assumptions highlighted include that spiritual development is a universal human process, multidimensional in nature, an ongoing process that interacts with social contexts, and a life-shaping force for individuals.
Growth & development of maxilla and mandibleRajesh Bariker
The document discusses the pre-natal and post-natal growth and development of the maxilla and mandible. It describes how the maxilla forms from embryonic development and ossification centers. It grows through displacement, remodeling at sutures, and increases in height, width and length. The mandible develops from Meckel's cartilage and also grows through remodeling at sites of growth. The palate develops from primary and secondary palatal shelves fusing in the midline. Post-natally, the maxilla grows through apposition at sutures and displacement downward and forward from cranial base growth. The mandible grows through remodeling at sites like the ramus and condyle.
The document describes different groups' (Blue, Red, Green, Hub) perspectives on the stages of forming a team: forming, storming, norming, and performing. Blue's approach emphasizes loyalty and inclusion. Red focuses on establishing roles, communication, and managing change. Green prioritizes defining tasks, assigning roles, and developing schedules. Hub's approach is to collect data fairly, brainstorm openly, establish consensus, and collaborate efficiently.

It then examines the money personalities and common financial practices of each of the 16 personality types.
The document discusses Jung's theory of personality types and how the eight personality types approach money and financial goals differently. It describes each of the eight types formed from Jung's four functions (sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling) combined with extraversion or introversion. While all eight types are valid, one's natural preferences can lead them in opposite directions of the "financial good life." Managing money in ways that align with one's type helps attain meaningful goals.
1) The document discusses how an individual's dominant personality preference affects their approach to money and financial decisions.
2) Dominant sensors see money as a source of funds to achieve tangible near-term goals. Dominant intuitives see money as a resource for future possibilities and goals. Dominant thinkers see money as a pragmatic tool, while dominant feelers prioritize using money to support relationships and others.
3) Overall, the document argues that people will find the most happiness from financial decisions that satisfy their dominant decision-making process and personality preferences.
Linking Psychological Type to Financial Decision-MakingRay Linder
This document discusses how psychological type and temperament theories may help explain individual differences in financial decision-making. It proposes using Carl Jung's psychological type theory and David Keirsey's temperament patterns to build a more comprehensive model of financial decision-making. The document also reviews how different disciplines study decision-making and identifies gaps in fully understanding human financial behavior. It suggests psychological type concepts could provide insight into linking personality preferences to financial planning approaches.
Motivation and the Strength Deployment InventoryRay Linder
The document discusses the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI), a self-assessment tool designed to promote greater interpersonal awareness and explore motivation and relationships. The SDI identifies seven motivational value systems that describe consistent relationship behaviors. It also examines how individuals respond to conflict in three stages as they work to defend their sense of self-worth. Using both the SDI and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator allows for a richer understanding of work styles, motivations, and personal meanings.
Stewardship Through Temperament: Serving Others and OurselvesRay Linder
This document discusses how different temperaments can find fulfillment through stewardship by serving others in ways aligned with their natural talents and values. It describes the four main temperaments - Artisan/SP, Guardian/SJ, Idealist/NF, and Rational/NT - and how each can approach stewardship in a way that benefits both themselves and those they serve. Specifically, it explains that when people serve through their innate strengths and design, stewardship becomes a joyous celebration rather than a burden, and both the steward and those served are satisfied.
Maximizing effectiveness – Teambuilding with the Klein Group InstrumentRay Linder
The board of directors for the international organization APTi met for their annual meeting to maximize productivity with a tight agenda. To improve effectiveness, the board participated in a two hour teambuilding session using the Klein Group Instrument (KGI) assessment tool. The KGI assessed each member's use of nine elements of group success both individually and collectively for the board. Key insights found members functioned differently in this group than others and identified strengths in idea generation but weaknesses in creating processes to implement ideas. The board used these insights to improve coordination of tasks and decision making support through increased initiative and leadership from any member. Members reported it as one of the most effective meetings due to the individual and group insights gained from the KGI assessment.
The document discusses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI). The MBTI focuses on cognition and how people process information to determine behavior preferences. The SDI focuses on motivation and what drives behavior in relationships. Using both assessments provides a more holistic understanding of individuals by examining cognition, affect, and motivation. The MBTI is best for understanding information processing and task-related behavior, while the SDI shines light on relationship dynamics, values, and communication styles. Together they provide complementary insights to support areas like team building, leadership development, and change management.
This document discusses and compares two personality frameworks: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI). [1] The MBTI is one of the most widely used personality assessments, based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. [2] The SDI focuses on the three components of mind: cognition, affect, and conation. It provides a simple, memorable model of personal motivation and intentional behavior. [3] The document notes both frameworks have benefits, and combining the MBTI and SDI approaches could provide richer insights into personality by examining both what drives someone and how they approach tasks.
The purpose of The Colors of Customer Service is to shed new light on customer service relationships through the principles of Relationship Awareness Theory. When you you connect with someone through their Motivational Value System, you have Relationally Aware Customer Service – a way of empowering the server to satisfy the “unique, idiosyncratic, emotional, irrational, end of the day and totally human terms” (Tom Peters) by which people will define an excellent customer service relationship.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.

312 A Wise Woman of Abel Beth Maakah Saves The Town
Jung’s view of the psycho-spiritual experience
1. In
his
letter
to
the
church
in
Rome,
the
Apostle
Paul
said
to
“not
think
of
yourself
more
highly
than
you
ought,
but
rather
think
of
yourself
with
sober
judgment.”[Romans
12:3
New
International
Version]
In
the
original
Greek
language
the
words
“sober
judgment”
literally
mean
“save
the
mind”.
To
“save
the
mind”
is
critical
to
Paul’s
concept
of
spiritual
growth.
In
another
letter
he
wrote
that
we
are
“to
be
made
new
in
the
attitude
of
[our]
minds
.
.
.
created
to
be
like
God
in
true
righteousness
and
holiness.”
[Ephesians
4:23-‐24]
In
other
words,
we
are
on
a
journey
of
transformation.
In
Jungian
terms,
this
journey
is
a
spiritual
journey,
one
in
which
the
psyche
is
on
a
natural
trajectory
towards
health
and
balance
in
a
soul-‐satisfying
state
of
wholeness.
To
Carl
Jung,
a
vital
aspect
to
saving
our
minds
is
coming
to
terms
with
our
God-‐given
natures.
In
terms
of
typology,
saving
the
mind
means
consciously
allowing
our
mental
processes
to
be
directed
towards
spiritual
wholeness.
It
is
ironic
that
Jung
saw
no
point
in
using
typology
to
classify
people.
His
interest
was
not
to
have
people
see
the
ways
in
which
they
are
like
others,
but
to
provide
a
framework
by
which
people
could
see
themselves
as
individuals
uniquely
created
by
God.
His
concept
of
Self
was
meant
to
describe
a
psycho-‐spiritual
experience
that
he
referred
to
as
"God
within
us".
The
Self
is
the
innate
beginnings
of
our
psychic
life
and
it
contains
both
the
roots
and
the
energy
that
are
designed
to
incite
us
to
fulfill
the
ultimate
purposes
for
which
we
were
created.
The
Jungian
psyche
is
on
a
religious
journey
and
his
typology
has
provided
each
of
us
with
a
roadmap
for
that
journey.
Borrowing
from
Rudolf
Otto's
The
Idea
of
the
Holy,
Jung
used
the
phrase
"numinal
accent"
to
describe
the
key
features
of
each
of
the
four
basic
psychological
functions.
Numinous
refers
to
the
non-‐ethical
experiences
of
religion
-‐
the
thrill
and
awe
of
a
person
created
in
God's
image
being
in
the
presence
of
God.
To
Jung,
while
we
could
not
comprehend
God,
we
could
experience
the
wonder
of
the
presence
of
God
in
part
through
the
exercise
of
our
psychological
type
preferences.
In
Psychological
Types
[para.
982-‐985]
Jung
states
that
the
numinal
accent
"plays
the
predominant,
determining,
and
decisive
role
in
all
psychic
processes
from
the
start",
determining
whether
extraversion
or
introversion
has
"positive
significance
and
value"
to
us.
In
addition,
the
numinal
accent
"selects
the
conscious
function
of
which
the
individual
makes
principal
use",
i.e.
the
four
functions
of
sensation,
intuition,
thinking,
and
feeling.
For
Jung,
numinosity
is
an
alteration
of
consciousness
involving
an
experience
of
spiritual
power
and
therefore,
when
we
are
using
our
dominant
function
we
are
experiencing
the
divinity
that
is
part
of
our
God-‐given
image.
Saving
the
mind
begins
with
a
strong
identification
with
our
dominant
function
as
an
essential
aspect
of
the
Self
and
the
beginning
of
our
spiritual
journey.

accent

each
type

the

dominant
preferences.

means
much
more
than
identifying
with
the
numinous
of
our
dominant
function.
A
mind
that
is
whole
is
able
to
manifest
the
numinal
qualities
of
all
four
functions.
By
gravitating
towards
mindsets
that
allow
our
less
dominant
functions
to
be
disregarded,
we
deprive
ourselves
of
their
spiritual
powers.
A
one-‐sided
psyche
is
the
result
of
persisting
in
those
preferences
that
come
naturally
and
remaining
spiritually
incomplete.
For
example,
when
Jesus
accused
the
Pharisee’s
of
ignoring
justice,
mercy
and
faithfulness
in
favor
of
strictly
interpreting
the
law,
he
was
exposing
a
bias
for
legality
over
compassion
We
were
born
for
a
greater,
more
multi-‐faceted
state
of
being
and
awareness
than
what
our
dominant
function
provides
us.
Saving
the
mind,
then,
is
a
psycho-‐spiritual
renewal
that
broadens
our
powers
of
perception
and
judgment.
It
is
also
a
reunion
with
the
truest
nature
of
who
we
were
created
to
be.
We
were
designed
to
grow
into
this
fullness
with
a
divinely
inspired
drive
toward
wholeness
according
to
a
design
already
imprinted
into
us.
When
we
respond
to
invitations
to
manifest
the
gifts
of
each
of
the
four
functions,
where
we
are
able
to
love
God
and
others
with
the
entirety
of
our
being,
we
meet
God
in
such
a
way
that
we
transcend
ourselves.
It
is
at
those
moments
that
we
can
experience
the
soul-‐satisfying
wholeness
of
a
new
mind
and
the
thrill
and
awe
of
being
made
in
God’s
image.
