The Handbook for Sharing Truth in Love This guide provides a scriptural framework for honest communication, emphasizing that truth without love is harsh, and love without truth is dishonest. 1. The Core Objective The primary goal of communication is to foster spiritual maturity and unity within the community. ●       Grow into Christ: We are called to speak the truth in love so that we may grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ. ●       The Triple Filter: Our communication should be the aim of a charge that issues from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. 2. The Character of the Speaker Truth-sharing begins with an internal transformation of the speaker’s character. ●       Abandon Deceit: You must not lie to one another, as you have put off the old self and its practices. ●       Godly Delight: While lying lips are an abomination to the L...

  Restored Focus: A Visual Guide to Healing Expanded Edition 2025 RESTORED FOCUS A guide to navigating the quiet chaos of ADHD, healing the ripple effects in relationships, and finding grace in the unique way God wired your mind. The Biology of Executive Function ADHD is not a character flaw; it is a biological difference. Think of the brain as an orchestra. In ADHD, the musicians are brilliant, but the conductor struggles to keep time. This chart visualizes the "Hidden Energy Cost" of daily tasks for an ADHD brain compared to a neurotypical one. Why "Just Try Harder" Doesn't Work ...

This is the current Preface to a book I hope to publish soon. It is intended to help those struggling with chaos in their relationship that may be caused by undiagnosed and misunderstood Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder . I have had counselors identify my spouse as having a personality disorder , will never get better and I need to consider leaving. Video summary is at the end. PREFACE: For years, I witnessed the chaos that ADHD creates in a family when it goes unrecognized, the storm of forgotten appointments, unfinished conversations, and a fatigue no amount of sleep could erase. When diagnosis finally arrives late in life, it reframes every misunderstanding, every argument, and all the accumulated guilt. A revelation brings both relief and reckoning, relief that there's a name for the invisible barriers and reckoning with the years spent lost in confusion. But the path to accurate diagnosis is often littered with professional misunderstandings that nearly destr...

  "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." - Luke 10:19 Read those words again. Let them sink in. This isn't just a beautiful verse to cross-stitch on a pillow—this is your spiritual reality right now, in this moment. The Disconnect Between Heaven's View and Your Experience While you're walking around feeling defeated, overwhelmed by circumstances, and wondering if you'll make it through another day, heaven sees something entirely different. Heaven sees you as more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Romans 8:37). There's a massive disconnect between how you see yourself and how God sees you. The enemy has convinced you that you're barely hanging on, that you're lucky to survive whatever storm you're facing. But God says you're not just surviving—you're crushing every obstacle under your feet. Resurrection Powe...

Satan's greatest victory isn't celebrated when you fall into sin—it's won in the quiet moments when you close your Bible and walk away. He's discovered something profound: distraction kills more believers than temptation ever could. Think about it. The enemy doesn't need to drag you into some dramatic moral failure. He just needs to keep you too busy, too tired, too overwhelmed to open God's word. A distracted believer is a defeated believer. When Jesus faced the devil in the wilderness, He didn't rely on His own strength or wisdom. Three times the enemy tempted Him, and three times Jesus responded with the same powerful weapon: "It is written." That's your weapon too—the very words of God, sharp as any two-edged sword. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12 that our battle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in heavenly places. This isn't a fight you can see with your eyes, but it's happening all around you ev...

Satan's greatest weapon isn't temptation—it's DISTRACTION. He knows if he can pull you away from God's word and prayer, he's already won half the battle. Look at Jesus in Matthew 4 when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness. Jesus didn't fight with emotions or feelings. He fought with SCRIPTURE , saying "It is written" three times. That's our blueprint right there. 📖 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." - Ephesians 6:12 The enemy wants to deceive you into thinking you're: • Too busy • Too tired • Too distracted to seek God But 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says give thanks in ALL circumstances. Even when life feels chaotic, that's when we need His word MOST. 🎯 Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek FIRST His kingdom and righteousness. When we walk in the Spirit according...

For many, artificial intelligence (AI) is a marvel of modern innovation, promising to revolutionize everything from healthcare to entertainment. But what if there's a deeper, more spiritual dimension to this technological boom? What if AI isn't just changing our world, but also playing a role in fulfilling ancient biblical prophecies about the end times? It might sound far-fetched, but a closer look at certain scriptures reveals striking parallels with the capabilities and trajectory of today's AI. As believers, we are called to be "children of light" (Ephesians 5:8), discerning the times and understanding the unfolding of God's plan. The Speaking Image and Global Control: Revelation's Chilling Prophecy One of the most compelling connections comes from the book of Revelation 13:15 . This verse describes a chilling scenario: "The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who...
