This document discusses the need for more "heroes" in the world who want to make positive change. It contrasts heroes with victims, who see the world as antagonistic, and scavengers, who prey on victims. It provides biblical passages encouraging compassion for others and seeing the world through the eyes of a savior rather than a victim. It argues that changing one's mindset and outlook can transform a person from a victim to a hero and calls the reader to "reboot" by shutting down old patterns, updating their mind with new perspectives, and restarting with a new life focused on helping others.
- The document provides information about the 2007 crime drama film Gone Baby Gone, including that it was directed by Ben Affleck, based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, and starred Casey Affleck.
- The film follows private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro who are hired to help find a missing 4-year-old girl. They must navigate moral dilemmas in a dark criminal underworld.
- The ambiguous ending leaves the audience to debate whether the main character made the right choice and how it will affect his future, reflecting the director's goal of exploring justice and moral dilemmas without tipping the scale.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the biblical story of Jephthah and his sacrifice of his daughter. It discusses the cycle of sin and judgment in Israel that leads God to send deliverers like Jephthah. It also examines different perspectives on whether Jephthah's daughter was actually sacrificed or dedicated her life to serving in the tabernacle. While some argue human sacrifice was forbidden, the document concludes the most natural reading is that Jephthah fulfilled his rash vow and sacrificed his daughter due to the theme in Judges of everyone doing what was right in their own eyes.
The document discusses pointers and ways to deal with jealousy. It notes that jealousy stems from within oneself rather than being caused by other people. At its core, jealousy reflects dissatisfaction with how God chooses to bless individuals. The passage encourages accepting God's sovereignty over all things and finding contentment with what He provides. It concludes with a prayer acknowledging jealousy as a personal issue and asking God for help in accepting His will.

The document discusses different perspectives in conflicts and arguments. It notes that conflicts arise from disagreements about what is right. It also suggests that we live in a crooked world and often think we know what is straight from our own perspective. However, God's perspective and ways are higher than ours. The document encourages resolving conflicts by considering how the other person feels, having a gentle tone, being open to correction, and getting advice from others to find a better solution.
This Lenten reflection discusses how letting go of security and control allows one to embrace the unknown promise of new life, like a seed that must abandon dormancy to grow. It notes four things people typically want to hold onto - security, control, past hurts, and future plans. But by letting go as Jesus did, one can face this painful moment and find him there to support embracing new life.
The graphic nature of this slide show is to emphasize the level of tragedy that the jewish people experienced during the churban.

We will want to spend time with others reading God’s Word and showing Him our love through praise on the Sabbath day. We will also want to include God in our lives daily by studying His Word to learn more about Him and enjoying communicating with Him in prayer frequently every day. When we love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind, and our neighbor as ourselves, we will make time for Jesus as the fourth commandment instructs.
The Test of Allurement (Life in Service) - Genesis 39Adrian Kerr
This summary provides the key events from the document in 3 sentences:
Joseph is sold into slavery in Egypt and becomes successful, managing the household of his master Potiphar. Potiphar's wife tries to seduce Joseph daily but he refuses her advances because he does not want to sin. When Joseph continues rejecting her, Potiphar's wife lies and claims Joseph tried to assault her, which lands him in prison despite his innocence.
The document provides guidance on choosing a romantic partner. It advises that one's relationship with God should be the most important. Additionally, it suggests choosing a partner who reveres God, has a secure identity, is a good match, has clear goals, and is trustworthy. The document encourages choosing with the end in mind and knowing what "right" looks like.
The document discusses the relationship between grace and truth. It notes that black and white pages (truth) should be understood within the context of red pages (grace). Jesus healed sick people who were at a pool, and grace without truth provides no motivation to live in a way that honors God. The document emphasizes that grace is weakened when truth is abandoned.
The document discusses the seventh commandment of not committing adultery and how married couples should faithfully care for each other through loving actions. It uses an illustration of a family getting ready for a group photo to show parents making sure their child looks presentable, and encourages walking in love as Christ loved us by faithfully caring for our spouse.
The document encourages relaxing and enjoying nature, the animals in it, and sharing blessings. It suggests scrolling through nature images at one's own pace, getting blessings for oneself and friends, and sharing the message and inviting friends to find relaxation and blessings in nature and Christ.
A rich young man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus tells him to keep the commandments, but the man says there must be more. Jesus then tells him to sell all his possessions, give to the poor, and follow him. The man then unfollows Jesus, being unwilling to give up his wealth and possessions.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document discusses verses from the Bible that encourage perseverance, pursuing goals, and living righteously. It references running with endurance as mentioned in Hebrews 12:1, striving for the goal discussed in Philippians 3:14, and letting one's light shine as stated in Matthew 5:16.
This document discusses different types of reactive attachment disorder (RAD) behaviors: detached, disorganized, attention-needy, perfectionist, withdrawn, and aggressive. For each type, it lists common beliefs and behaviors, as well as strategies caregivers can use to help, such as avoiding negative reinforcement, rewarding positive behaviors, demonstrating belief in the person rather than achievements, and providing clear structure and boundaries. The overall message is that caregivers should build up children's self-worth, create opportunities for success, and establish a safe and secure environment.

The document provides guidance on appropriate online conduct by asking readers to consider how Jesus would use social media and what he would post. It encourages asking whether posts are true, encouraging of others, and if Jesus himself would post them. The document cautions that all online communications reflect on one's character and will be judged accordingly. It aims to promote thoughtful, kind, and honest online interactions.
The document discusses Jesus' call for his followers to take up their cross and give up their lives to follow him. It provides several Bible verses that explain how the cross unites, adopts, blesses, and washes believers. The cross represents Christ's ultimate sacrifice for humanity while they were still sinners. True gratitude and grace come from acknowledging what Jesus gave through his sacrifice on the cross.
The document discusses various biblical figures and their interactions, including John vs. Paul, Peter vs. Jesus, Onesimus vs. Paul, and forgiveness. It argues against throwing people away and mentions that forgiveness is an attribute of the strong, not the weak, quoting Gandhi.
This is a lesson about the assumptions we make about others, getting past those assumptions, and being willing to study with anyone, regardless of our opinions of them.
This is the original version of the slides that went with a lesson of the same name. Some of the the images were a tad controversial, so they got edited out of the live version.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can offer improvements to mood, focus, and overall well-being over time.

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
