When Jesus said "it is more expedient for you that I go away.." his disciples felt he should never leave. Truth is your teaching will become counter productive if you hang around always helping out till people become dependent on you with no memory of how to live without you.
Some teams have allowed their coaches to stay so long that by the time he left there was no institutional memory in the management of the club without that particular coach. They begin to struggle because the whole set up has been subconsciously programmed with him as the leader.
Teach but never let people become dependent on you. Always create opportunities for many people to get things done in your set-up without direct assistance from you.

To those who say skill isn't really the important thing but grace, I ask what does it mean to carry grace for something?
Next time you are boarding a flight kindly ask for a pilot who doesn't neccesarily have flying skills but says he is graced to do it, then we will understand.
Grace when upon a man to do a thing manifests itself as superior skill.
If we don't make this clarification, people will place a distintinction between their "church life" and their everyday engagement. They will not be able to make a meaningful connection with the spiritual.
When a man has the grace of God upon him in any area, the Spirit of God teaches him things about it. When he speaks and acts he will with superior skill.

Grace doesn't come upon skill, grace produces exceptional skill unattainable by human ability.

If you are invited to speak, understand it is not to make the people know how much you know. God simply wants to pass a message through you to the audience. Find out what it is & focus on that. It is unethical to start addressing an old long difference with another guest speaker
I have witnessed situations where someone walks into the auditorium and the speaker changes his focus seeing it as an opportunity to address this other person. That is simply juvenile. Doing this is a display of cowardice. Focus on the people you were invited to speak to.
Also if you are the host and you invited a guest speaker, there is no need to get up after he or she has spoken and begin to pass comments which are subliminal messages to your congregation that you knew all he has said. Don't belittle your guest in front of your congregation.

We today struggle with self-defeating belief patterns that set limits on what we can do and even how far we can dream because yesterday we accepted flawed thoughts as the truth. We were "unscientific" about the things we accepted. We allowed myths, unproven things into our minds.
Everyone around us also accepted these things and we built a culture around it. There were contradictions we saw between the theology we accepted and our personal experiences even the motions in our members yet we refused to rethink these "truths" for the fear of rocking the boat
If you challenged these things you were labelled ignorant and mocked at. You were bullied into silence and continued the struggled within your body and in your circumstances. Many of these things you hold dearly to are the interpretation a respected figure gave to the scriptures.

college student baekhyun finds his soulmate in illegal streetracer gang member chanyeol and gets caught up in the whirlwind—he isn’t scared because somehow he knows chanyeol, a guy he’s known for all of 9 hours but is already head over heels for, won’t let anything happen to him.
Everyone knows when one's found their soulmate--not only do the soulmates themselves feel the sharp burning of their mark tattoos on their wrists but their eyes go through a plethora of bright colors when they meet for the first time.

Jongdae wraps his arms around Minseok's
waist from behind and props his chin on his shoulder, watching as Baekhyun, his friend, and Chanyeol, one of Minseok's gang members, stand in the middle of the chaotic party in perfect stillness, simply looking at each other, awestruck.

"Hi," Chanyeol says finally. He licks his

it marked a hundred days today. johnny remembered it, it would be amazing of him to forget that day. it was a morning to be remembered, like none other, unforgettable.

johnny had a routine every day. Wake up, eat breakfast and brush his teeth, take a shower and dress up.
he would apply sunscreen and leave his home, in littleroot town. johnny liked walking through the tall grass on his way to the sea, watching the kids, with their parents and their first pokemon, trying to fulfill their dream, everyone's dream, to catch em all.
on that fateful day, he spent some extra time, chitchatting with the pokemart worker, ringo, while grabbing extra pokeballs and razz berries.

that wasn't necessary, johnny just liked to gift three pokeballs to any child that was brave enough to challenge him and of course, win.

1/ The coming collapse of South Africa.
2/ South Africa's entire national grid teeters on the brink of going down. Right now it's up but there are no guarantees for its future.

Needless to say, when it goes off the results will be catastrophic.
3/ I say 'when' not 'if' because that's the truth. Right now it's held together with spit, duct tape and about a week's supply of diesel.

It would require an army of technical people and billions of dollars to fix. That obviously isn't going to happen.

Thread: Kevin Spacey: The Cabal’s Loose End
#KevinSpacey
1. #KevinSpacey (KS) was an A list actor w/ many leading & supporting roles in Hollywood films & television. I believe he has participated in some very evil acts with many important figures in Washington DC and Hollywood. Kevin Spacey is one of the biggest cabal liabilities ever.

(THREAD) I just watched @rustyrockets interview @jordanbpeterson, and want to say that—among my many objections to Peterson—I resent his framing retrograde cultural philosophies as post-postmodern. This thread details how Peterson's schtick is destructive. I hope you'll share it.
1/ For those who don't know Peterson, he's a pre-Modernist thinker whose embrace of some mid-20th c. philosophical, lit-critical, and psychological dead-ends—an ideology frozen in the 50s—has made him a hero among the alt-right. He's part of the so-called "Intellectual Dark Web."
2/ Just as I'd have less problem with Bill O'Reilly if he copped to being a retrograde boor whose head as to key matters like gender equality and civil rights is stuck in the suburbs of his childhood—so we'd know to ignore him—Peterson's dangerous because he disguises what he is.
