Coaching is the art of guiding individuals to identifying, crystallizing and then achieving goals and dreams. The Coach helps the individual make positive changes in order to improve their life or to accomplish desired outcomes easier and faster than might otherwise be possible on their own. The Coach provides support by asking powerful questions, structure and focus and by holding the client accountable to action. The client in turn is supported in determining and creating his/her ideal life.

The ICF (International Coaching Federation) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
The Coaching process can be quite therapeutic, although it is not therapy. Both Coaching and Therapy are client-centered, aimed at improving the well-being of the individual through growth. To better understand the differences, let’s consider some of the characteristics of Coach vs Therapist:
Coach
Not licensed to deal with psychological issues
Assumes client is highly functional (naturally creative, resourceful and whole)
Roots in business and personal growth
Works to motivate to a higher level of functioning – focus is on evolving and manifesting potential
Focuses on present & future actions; goal orientation
Works for solutions to overcome barriers, learn new skills, & implement effective choices
Holds client accountable and “homework” between sessions common
Uses coaching skills
Therapist
Licensed to practice and deal with psychological issues
Assumes individual needs/wants relief from specific symptoms
Roots in medicine, psychiatry and personal growth
Works with individual to achieve self-understanding and emotional healing
Focus on feelings and patterns derived from past events: past and present orientation
Works for internal resolution of pain and to let go of old patterns
Works mainly with internal issues – insight and problem oriented
Uses therapy techniques
It should also be noted, that the difference between some types of therapy and personal coaching are not always clear-cut. Many therapists are “coach-like” in their orientation and the two do share many similarities. Both professionals do focus on helping people make positive changes to accomplish their goals.
Why you should hire a coach…

Anxiety, the Brain and Exercise
By Aaron Dungca Needham Teacher:
Student cognitive benefits from academic breaks, by researcher,
Jarrett, O.S. (2002), found that in order to function efficiently, the
brain needs a period of down time to recycle chemicals crucial for long
term memory formation. This down time for memory development involves a
90-110 minute cyclical turnover (Jarrett, O. S. 2002). Recess for some
children might be the only time they can engage in social interactions
in which they choose who to associate with, under non structured
settings. These types of arenas promote a double ended societal
upbringing. On the positive spectrum, the structure of recess allowed
children to design and implement their own rules and objectives for
their games; aiding students in building essential character traits such
as confidence, leadership, communication, and self-advocacy. On the
other hand, Jarrett (2002) suggested the freedom of recess does have a
negative connotation, which would be the extremist actions of a bully,
aggressive emotions, or social isolation. As a result, through various
studies, it has been proven that the best intervention and usage for
recess required staff members to allow children to choose their games
and provide them with a safe, monitored space to participate in those
chosen activities. This can limit the actions of aggression and promote
positive interactions by the very nature of children’s tendency to
follow adult instructions (Verstraete, S. J. 2006). In conclusion with
the various studies, it is clear that more research is needed to examine
the correlation of recess and student academic improvements related to
assessments. However, researches did confirm through their studies that
students improved in other areas pertaining to the academia and
character building such as demonstrating appropriate classroom behavior,
establishing positive social interactions among fellow peers, and
promote cognitive development in regards to problem solving and becoming
innovative thinkers. Trudeau, F., & Shephard, R. J. (2008). Physical education, school

Minneapolis, Minnesota — The Hennepin County judge Peter Cahill overseeing the George Floyd case has made the body worn cameras from ex-officers Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng available. The video, taken from the body worn cameras shows Kueng and Lane responding to a convenience store on May 25 on a report that Floyd had allegedly used a fake $20 bill. Their former colleagues, Tou Thao and Derek Chauvin, later showed up to assist. The footage follows Lane and Kueng as they apprehend Floyd and two acquaintances. Lane holds Floyd at gunpoint and handcuffs him, and the officers briefly question the visibly panicked man before attempting to get him into their patrol SUV.
After struggling to get him into the police squad, Floyd is eventually held down by officers on the ground. Floyd is heard calling to his mother, repeatedly saying he can’t breathe and that everything hurts. After a few minutes, Senior officers Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao arrive and help wrestle him to the ground. Chauvin then places his knee on Floyd’s neck, where it stays for over nine minutes. Lane and Kueng hold down Floyd’s back and knees as Thao keeps increasingly agitated bystanders at bay. Chauvin gets up after paramedics arrive and load Floyd into an ambulance. Lane accompanies them and administers CPR as they take Floyd to an out-of-the-way street corner, while Kueng goes back into Cup Foods interviewing an employee about the alleged counterfeit $20 bill and collecting evidence.

In the
aftermath of a horrendous human tragedy, such as a murderous event,
fascination and even puzzlement finds curiosity with regard to fearful
emotional reactivity. The living find refuge in fearful and debasing
emotional reactivity. Sad, horrific and destructive are such actions of
human debauchery, and yet many of vicarious detachment run screaming to
the protective enclaves of amatively sensitive satiation. Of pundits,
politicians and celebrity proselytes, those least qualified in the
reality of human experience, muster the dysfunctional retributions of
foolish fallacies for hasty generalizations. Panicked, scared and cowardly entrenched, those who were never there
seek to spread their share of sanctimonious despair. While human cruelty
knows no boundaries, nor does the foolhardy invocations of stupidly
contrived conjecture for the immediate satiation of cognitive bias. But
for the bravery of the few, the tiny number of valiant crew, the
warriors who always knew, humans do evil and some defend the many in
dangerous retrieval. And so, we witness the cavalier personal promotion
by incessant internet postings of “selfies”, fakes stories, unscientific
theories, and constant texting of personal updates. Regressively oversimplified, cowardly reactive and emotionally
dysfunctional, the simpleton of uncomplicated conjecture, exposes the
shallow realms of infantile states of magical thinking. For the
foolishness that hope springs eternal, the oversimplifications of a
society bent on collapse relishes in the degradations of human
atrocities. Carnage and mayhem go beyond the actual physical killing of a
so-called “spree killer”, or alleged “mass murderer”. The juvenile
antics of a self-absorbed social consensus find more subtle ways to
denigrate the general populace. In time, a tragedy is forgotten. As the 24-7 infotainment venues speculate for about a week or so, and
pontificate the superficiality of opinion, the “deadliest killing in
U.S. history” is replaced by some other “news” story. At the same time,
most politicians do what politicians do best, pander to the emotional
vulnerabilities of the moment. The phony conjecture becomes more
pervasive by the myriad “con-artists” jumping on board the contrivances
of faulty conclusions to promote personal agendas. Quick to capitalize
on the horrors of a heartrending event, from academia to celebrity
stardom, everyone suddenly expounds upon their “exceptional expertise”.
Unfortunately, most of it is the squeal of phony pretentiousness. In an age of excess, appeals to pretended authority, celebrity
status, mythical dogma, and so on, regresses to the satiations of
primordial realms. Not much changes as the devolution continues in a
downward spiral. For the supernatural, the mystical and the magical,
thinking devolves to the safe mediocrity of simplistic reassurances.
Many will prefer the lowest standard of conduct, or the common practice
of so-called minimum standards of performance. The mundane is called
exciting while the superficial is hailed as politically correct, as
symbolism of substance prevails. Hypocrisy reigns across the social
networks as inexperience devolves into allegations of “expertise”. For
the most part, the handful of corporate giants that own 90% of the
alleged news media spend the bulk of their air time selling products and
services. Regardless, everyone has an opinion. With the allure of pompousness to “civilization”, if given the
occasion, the majority would quickly degenerate to the most basic
singularity of survival selfishness. Certain institutional deterrents,
as in the power of the state to enforce laws, encourage a tenuous state
of pompous piety that masks a sense of mutual selfishness.
Pretentiousness claims the incompetence of arrogance in shortsighted
protestations of unsubstantiated claims. Large swaths of society enjoy
their stupidity, as they embrace “celebrity authority”. The phony hallmarks of a failing culture includes that which relishes
a lack of knowledge and smug reliance on the fake authority of others.
Smoke screens of psycho-socio-babble, steeped in multifarious forms of
illusion, conceitedly proclaim the two-facedness of foolhardy
self-gratifications. In the glitz, glamor and gore of the entertainment
world, two-dimensional characters become “scientists, diplomats and
philosophers”. For a price, and the promotion of their fame, they will
act for any cause, whether right or wrong, as cover and concealment loom
larger than ever in narcissistic fallacies. According to some researchers, in this case those from the
pseudoscience of psychology, several offered the disturbing portrait of
more and more people displaying psychopathic tendencies. For those
frightened or otherwise disturbed by the use of the term
“pseudoscience”, the application is to that which is not a hard science,
as in physics, astronomy or chemistry. In other words, the inference is
toward the various schools of philosophy, in which the purveyors,
mainly from academia, cannot claim absolute certainty of scientific
validation for their particular point of view. This would include realms
of theoretical inference from criminology, sociology and psychology. Societal conjecture, as in mainstream media, many part of academia
and political processes, vacate the truth of a proposition in favor a
phony appeals to fallacies of pretentious inference. It has become
routine, commonplace and standardized in a detachment from reality that
circumvents the burden of evidence. Absurd possibilities for witless
attempts to substantiate nonsense go many times without question,
critical analysis or demands for sufficiency of evidentiary artifacts to
prove or disprove an issue. In the emotional aftermath of a nationally televised critical
incident, logic often fails as overly sensitive reactivity instantly
replaces the necessity of critical thinking. The burdensome nature of
logical deduction and rational objectivity falls upon duly authorized
investigative personnel. Law enforcement typically are the key
participants in the official process to ensure and safeguard critical
thinking and ultimate case solution. Because of oversimplification and faulty rationalizations in the
simplicity of quick answers to complex behaviors, stupidity finds
expression in diverse ways. For the comfort and ease of safe mediocrity,
simplistic “answers” are self-assuring. This allows frightening
potentialities to unfold particularly where national public policy is
concerned. Worse yet, is the appeal to “authority status”. In a
celebrity worship culture, as in the U.S., seemingly but superficial,
“intelligent” claims as to a significant social or political matter gain
instant attention from pundits and politicians. The clamor for
attention is hideous. If the claimant of an issue, say gun control for instance, happens to
be a Hollywood actor, then certain sectors of the public may conclude
the viewpoints are valid. With the need by many people to satiate their
own dysfunctional needs for attention, glamour and glitz of some
magnitude, the vicarious means to achieve some connectivity is to revere
another dysfunctional person. Everyone experiences maturation issues,
as most people seem to never get beyond their manifestations of
infantile narcissism. In a recent article, from an international online newspaper, the
reporter claims that America is obsessed with the “celebrity concept”.
Supposedly, this suggests a means to venerate the status of celebrity to
a stature of “authority” on a range of social and political issues.
Such notions go beyond simply having an opinion. Instead, the inference
is that a person of presumed fame and fortune is qualified as an expert
in areas outside their primary domain of talent. Skilled in one area
does not infer competence in another. Again, a flash back occurs to the
various fields of pseudoscience, often accepted without question. In a “celebrity worship” culture, and the inference slants to those
with little or no real world experiences, such a notion can suggest a
number of aspects relative to the gainful acceptance of those biased in a
particular direction. Being famous, desiring notice and seeking
validation for the amative inclination of “being seen”, involves a
variety of venues. Not only that, with varying levels of self-evolution,
or not, people are invariably gullible and naive. From academia to
entertainment, to mass marketing consumption, politics and preaching an
ideology, salesmanship of personal dysfunction finds many outlets. Bias generally instigates conclusions drawn for the satiation of
subjective validation. Everyone brings that with them. Personal
feelings, ideological beliefs, and mythic inclinations are just the
beginning of the slippery slide into “magical thinking”. Poof, it’s
“true” because someone said so. In addition, the fallacy of
preconception further colludes intimately with observational
self-interests. Alleged “experts”, particularly those who spent decades
in safe and secure environments, like academia or movie studios, find
all kinds of ways to make commentary about things for which knowledge is
limited. In response to those who think they found the answers to ultimately
explain human behavior, relative to thinking processes that lead to
actions, extreme caution is warranted. Likewise, a healthy sense of
skepticism is necessary, along with seasoned cynicism. In some cases,
particularly on lecture circuits or “talking head” shows, a guest
speaker or panel discussion, should be treated with suspicion. The
arrogance of subjectivity surfaces in attitudes that devolve to the
flaunting and taunting of simplistic generalizations. Human behavior is complicated and the regurgitation of
unsubstantiated conjecture without scientific evidence fails to answer
many question. In the aftermath, where anecdote, rumor and gossip
masquerade as confirmation, phony appeals to pretended rationality lead
to perpetration of misinformation and potential disaster. From other
sources, one might encounter the “born again” proselyte whose bias on a
particular topic is influenced by a “supernatural mindset” reinforced by
dogmatic doctrine. Subjective validation assumes one’s position on an
issue is credible given the claim they believe in the mysticism of this
or that. In addition, the claimant wants confirmation they are correct
in the questionable assumptions, which support the fallacy of inference.
Soon or later, in trying to convince a listener, the assertion in
cognitive bias stumbles into the nebulous regions of hasty
generalizations where correlation is confused with causation. In one major study of devolving processes of reliance on factually
substantiated data driven dialogue, the researchers assert the
prevailing social atmosphere as one characterized by declining
intellectual capacity. Some real scientists, those in the realm of the
“hard sciences”, suggest data that shows a degrading or declining rate
of I.Q. levels. Additionally, some claim there is a sense of socially
deteriorating respect for the value in seeking the truth via the facts
in evidence. This in turn translates into the perception that critical
thinking erodes with each subsequent generation. As a result, what might be considered as “human devolution” in a
devolving culture offers the prospects of a dismal future for humankind.
For this writing, it is presupposed that American culture is in
regression, with the human species slanted toward an eventual
extinction. Part of the criticality of such consequences, is the
oppressive nature of status quo conformity that encourages the less
imaginative to cope at a primal level. A simple all-encompassing
explanation for complex social issues is easier and less demanding. Embracing the non-reality of safe mediocrity by emotional reactivity,
further devalues the necessity of intellectual achievement. Critical
analysis and rigorous inquiry are frequently avoid in favor of
simplistic thinking. To allow fuzziness in the boundaries between
opinion and truth worsens the efficacy of valid conclusions.
Investigators from diverse backgrounds in collaboration in the
previously mentioned research, offered concern about the debasing nature
of public discourse. Through commercial, educational and political processes that rely
less and less on facts dangerous consequences lurk in the shadows. For
the sake of hedonistic perpetration of egoistic motivations, by willful
intentions, many forsake transformative efforts for the advancement of
enlightened inquiry. Rather than think for themselves, to satiate their
whims, wishes and wants, they chase the mystical notions of clever
gurus. For immediate gratification, regardless of systematic and logical
validation, any notion of “pop psychology” will suffice to most people. A
focus on the facts for many is tedious, time consuming and requires a
sense of unabashed authenticity. That which sounds good, feels
comfortable and seems tolerant of everything, yet intolerant of anything
that disagrees with whatever went before it, is the superficial
ideology of the moment. Easily accepted unsubstantiated and cowardly
rhetoric passes of shallow intellectual stimulation. Most will swiftly
rally around a simpleton’s limited world view of safe mediocrity. An abomination to those who attempting to be creative, innovative and
enlightened, the herded bellow of the mainstream is to flock around
anyone who appears, sounds and acts as though they have “special
knowledge” or discovered “hidden secrets”. In a celebrity worship
culture, that could be anyone who is media friendly, know the art of the
sound bite, and looks good on camera. Young and old alike, millennial
or boomer, the art of the con is not restricted to any particular age
group. A selfie moment is essential. For those constricted by their self-conceit, their moment of glory,
and the fame of the instant blog, time spent in the spotlight is worth
the deceit of the conceit projected. The con artist in promotion of an
array of “pyramid schemes” is adept at clever deceptions. Postmodern
advertising, 24/7 “news media” and consumer marketing capitalize on
consumptive gullibility of the naïve and the uninitiated. Actors, sports
figures, politicians, are practiced in the art of trickery. So are
teenagers enamored by their puberty. Always playing to the audience, pretentious conjecture often
overwhelms attempts to disprove mere speculation by weight of evidence
to the contrary. Sleight of hand, if done well, or seems simplistically
convincing, will get top billing because others think they might be
smart. Many times, off camera, there is someone pulling the strings with
a hidden agenda or a myriad array of self-interests. Meanwhile, serious
social problems remain unaddressed, ignored or glazed over by phony
appeals to egregious fallacies. For a few seconds of sound bites, an ability to read a teleprompter,
or memorize a few lines of commentary, instant “experts” blather an
array of opinions. In a culture that created a deified pantheon of
wannabe “authorities” on just about everything, an eventual dystopia
looms closer that one might think. With primal subservience, or
primitively ancient submissiveness, a majority dwell in realms of
anti-intellectualism and unscientific medieval thinking. The unevolved
status of many cling to adolescent states of poorly constructed
ideological processes. Subjective validation overrides reality. Social strata transference of individual responsibility, and
accountability for actions, is freely abrogated to other presumed
authorities, institutions or communal entities. Historic warnings to
beware of false prophets have long gone unheeded. In the meantime, just
about everything has become profitable in a gluttonously consumptive
society. Usually, that reflects the wishful thinking that everything
will be okay, so long as one remains happy with the status quo, eats
more, buys more and gets more. Habitual primeval functionality ensures easy expectation for the
laziness of critical thought devoid of logical analysis. Such
“devolutional” antics further hasten symbiotic relationships that foster
social deterioration and the degradation of cultural interactions.
Where pseudoscience overshadows real science, superstition surpasses
evidentiary authenticity, and ignorance is more popular than knowledge,
extinction looms closer. Once upon a time, serious educational endeavors
were part of a pioneering spirit of a developing nation. With that,
there was a powerful sense of public service commitment. In addition, a drive of devotion and dedication to the “greater good”
meant an obligation not only to personal development, but that of
others as well. Yet, the present atmosphere of selfishness is not only
debasing to the culture, it is also counterproductive and mean spirited.
Demeaning conjecture in social media, news reporting and political
engagements punctuate an era of divisiveness that characterizes a
devolving society. As such, phony appeals to fallacies of pretentious
squeals the devolving aspect of human stupidity. To the debasing scale of alleged social progress, such inclinations
toward “cultic” or “occultic” beliefs is more important to the vast
majority than a maturing sense of wisdom. Whereby the maturation to an
altered, or more profound, in depth analysis, is stifled by a particular
dogmatic doctrine unsubstantiated by scientific validation. As a
result, the suggestion here is that belief systems, ideological
perceptions, or mysticism, etc., become foundational biases that
influence thinking processes. From ideation, or the imagery that
precedes thought activity, to formulation of thinking processes and
subsequently communicated to others, is cognitively prejudicial in favor
of the individual. Viewed further along these fragmented lines of social dysfunction,
fake “experts” and phony “advocates” of one trendy thing after another,
seldom promote more than themselves. Likewise, “celebrity worship”, or
constant appeals to “authority”, seldom produce well-founded evidentiary
substance that reveal the totality of human nature. From psychics to
religious zealots, to pandering politicians and celebrities, the
interrelationship of “dominance and submission” to spurious conjecture,
works the contrivances of myriad human misunderstandings about
cause-effect reality. According to a recent national poll, at least 75%
of the public believe in some aspect of the supernatural, the occult or
some version of the paranormal, and often in connection with a religious
ideology. That number, according to other surveys, may range from 80%
to 90%. Phony appeals to pretended loftier articulations frequently result in
specious conjecture that end up saying nothing and doing little. Greedy
and self-indulgent, observation of contemporary “infotainment culture”,
also called the “pop culture”, sees a symbiosis of intentional
malevolence for selfish reasons. With devolving consequences, arrogant
and condescending behaviors span a diverse spectrum. In a flashback to
the 18th century, an American poet and philosopher admonished each to
awaken. To wake up and know the manipulations of premediated, purposeful, and
deliberate deceptions, is to recognize malevolent predation through
society. In addition, at the time, it is a necessity to understand there
are no excuses for uncivil and illegal actions people commit toward
others. Torturous and murderous behaviors are serious examples of a
species approaching the end of its existence. Corporate and governmental
corruption, along with celebrity and pundit stupidity, further
exemplify behavioral regression. In what some call a civilized world, and this one is definitely not
one of those, such behaviors descend in opposition to any semblance of a
cultured and enlightened populace. In spite of a couple hundred
thousand years to get it right, humanity proves in many ways it doesn’t
want to change. Yes, of course, to those who would argue the “basic
goodness” of a “civilization” that is changing for the better, others
would counter with skepticism. Although on an individual basis, there
are exceptions. Yet, too few and too late. For the most part, in a society that relishes in gossip, sitcoms and
celebrity adulation, social discourse is kept light, fluffy, feel good
simplistic and smugly self-righteous. In spite of the devolving process
of regressive societal disintegration, a few, probably no more than 25%
of any given population group, work to improve themselves. For this
effort, among this diverse grouping, self-evolution is critical. This
means an extraordinary capacity for personal development in relation to
self-education, independence, ideological freedom and liberated actions
to become a better version than the original personality. Such is a quest to insist upon a disciplined non-materialistically
focused life, and a mature process of rejuvenated mental-physical
health. Differentiation of the wholeness within, invites the strength of
healthy skepticism, tinctured by a modicum of cynical insightfulness to
advance one’s sense of creativity. That’s of the utmost necessity.
Hesitation to free oneself from all the gluttonous proclivities of crowd
consensus, from assumption to consumption, breeds the bleeding
discontent of defeat. Contemporary so called “trendy pop culture”, filled with the greedy
hedonistic mindlessness of self-promotion and “selfie absorption”, so
much for many observers of behavioral issues, the selfish indigenous
nature endangers the future species to extinction. In a closer look at
the current reality, many gifted scientists have speculated that human
civilization faces a major collapse in the next 100 years. Some analysts
shorten that time span to roughly about 25 to 30 years. Meanwhile, as
debates continue, the social spectrum, from alleged news reporters, the
infotainment industry, and social media pundits, continue to dabble in
plenty of mundane and mostly irrelevant societal tripe. History, for those who pay attention, is rife with lessons to be
learned. Yet, generally those are learning processes most fail to heed.
For all human history’s warnings, the species ignores and forgets the
essentiality of the prologues to subsequent generations. For the few who
are of a rebellious nature, self-evolution is a solitary act of
differentiation, and at the same time, an act of defiance against
mainstream stupidity. That is, a lack of self-evolution, a grown-up
mature outlook, and ongoing commitment to personal creativity. To be
alone, to be a rebel, but an advanced and wiser one, requires action in
certain ways that adversely goes against the toleration of the
oppressive consensus that “sheep herds” the many. As such, no American institution is safe from the ravages of
self-interests that hinder the forward momentum of an evolved human
species. Currently, there is more a preoccupation with pseudoscience and
pretentious claims of knowledge, as opposed to real science and
hardcore evidentiary substantiation. For that, the brave few who look to
the real expert veteran, the seasoned practitioner of real life
experiences, the learned mentor of hard earned expertise, one is
cautious as to the admonitions of conventional consensus and mainstream
media. Instead logical deduction is replaced by feelings. The darkness of human nature, that which foments evil intentions and
horrific inflictions, will speak differently from public to private
self-interests. Diverse forms of illicit motivations willfully contrive
all manner of deception. When wants and desires are not satiated,
anything imaginable is possible. Yet, the fear of recognizing one’s own
dysfunction often finds clever but phony appeals to fallacious
assertions and shallow self-serving interests. For serious minded, and
the few who ascend to higher levels, the quest is to go beyond the mere
satisfaction of limited inquiry. Facts, data, evidence, etc., where bias
and subjective validation are controlled, seek higher planes of
understanding.
At some point, most of us have probably heard someone
else excitedly say, “I’m in a relationship.” When we feel pressured to
be in a romantic relationship, we’re more likely to make hasty or
foolish decisions. The frustration and the feelings of being trapped in
the “needle in the haystack” syndrome cause us to work hard at finding
someone, but make no progress. However, when we rest in Jesus’ promises
in this area, amazing things happen.
Resting in what He tells us isn’t something we do naturally. The
world pushes us toward self-effort; therefore, we must make an active
decision to be at rest. Rest isn’t inactivity, but deliberately letting
go of worry and anxiety as we cultivate our friendships. We find peace
when we trust God, not ourselves, to direct us in our relationships. “Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps” (Jeremiah 10:23, NIV). We can be full of ideas about who we want to meet and socialize with,
but if those ideas are our own and not God’s, we can end up in a bad
relationship. People aren’t always what they appear to be. Letting the
Holy Spirit lead the way gives us discernment to make the right
decisions and steer clear of people who aren’t right for us. “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10). We live in a culture that has an “I want it now” mindset; this can
cost us dearly when looking for a potential spouse. Impatience causes us
to depend on ourselves, and act on our own worldly knowledge. The fear
of never finding anyone can cloud our judgment, but having confidence
that God has set aside a match for us puts our search in a whole new
perspective. “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded” (Hebrews 10:35, NIV). This promise doesn’t just pertain to the future; God is speaking into
our lives right now. He loves us and knows what we want most. His will
is for us to trust that He wants to bless us with loving, fulfilling
relationships. When we feel the world’s mindsets pushing in on us,
actively resisting and maintaining our peace of mind is hard work. “Therefore,
since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful
that none of you be found to have fallen short of it” (Hebrews 4:1, NIV). The potential for human error is always present if we trust our own
wisdom to find that special person. When we’re spinning our wheels with
no results, asking God to intervene turns things around. In the Old
Testament, God promised His people good things they didn’t earn; He kept
that promise. “And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have
brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham,
to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou
buildedst not, And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst
not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive
trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage” (Deuteronomy 6:10-12). Trusting that God will bless our relationships causes His promises to work for us as well. For more on how resting in God’s Word concerning the relationships in
our lives causes supernatural breakthrough, click on the link below for

The Masks and Fruit of false teachers in the Church of God
Author
Liliane Binnyuy
"Now
there were false prophets among the people, just as there also will be
false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive
heresies and even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift
destruction on themselves. Many people will follow their immoral ways,
and because of them the way of truth will be maligned. In their greed
they will exploit you with deceptive words. The ancient verdict against
them is still in force, and their destruction is not delayed" (2 Pete
2.1-3).
The above verse makes us to understand that these false teachers are
not going to come out from the world; rather they shall rise from among
the righteous. The devil uses false teachers to hit and attack the
church, so that many will be lost and never get to find the way that
leads to heaven. Many will follow their ways and end up in perdition. The Mask of False Teachers The devil’s teachers mask themselves with some righteous deeds: They "believe" "Jesus Christ" They preach "Jesus Christ" They look harmless and humble They perform signs and wonders that marvel people They do some charitable works A person who does these things may quickly be called a man of God,
but they may not be so. A false teacher is not known by some outward
works, rather they are known by their fruit – the nature of their
person. "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but
inwardly are savage wolves. You will know them by their fruit. Grapes
aren’t gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?" (Mathew
7.15-16). Remember, they preach another Jesus (not Jesus Christ as revealed in
the Bible). The motive of their charity works is questionable. The Fruit of a False Teacher The three principal marks/fruit of a false teacher are; Greed Sexual Immorality Selfish Ambition If a preacher has one or two of these attributes, then know that he
is a false teacher. Even if he calls down fire from heaven, run away
from him as fast as you can. The devil is moving about confirming the
wrong teachings of these teachers with signs and wonders. If you follow
the signs instead of the fruit, then you are doomed.
Greed
Greed is idolatry (Col. 3.5; Mat 6.24). Idolatry is a sin punishable
by death (Rev. 21.8). There are diverse kinds of greed (Luke 12.15); Lack of contentment Stinginess Stealing Cheating Anxiety Storing up for tomorrow keeping more than you need Fighting over property Refusal to share Sharing only an insignificant portion of your wealth Murmuring and grumbling These false teachers have more than enough wealth that can last them
five life times. They have so much while most of their church members
are so poor. They do not only refuse to really help these poor people,
but they still demand and collect from them. Their wealth is counted in
millions of dollars. They live in mansions, drive expensive cars, wear
designers’ outfit, own private jets, their children are in choice
schools worldwide etc. A preacher who is rich cannot be a disciple of Christ. The disciples
of Christ give up their all for the kingdom of God (Mathew 19.27). Love
puts the needs of others first. God’s servants obey him, and they give
even to the last penny. These false teachers are going straight to hell
and taking many with them. They suffer the righteous people both
spiritually and materially.
Sexual Immorality
A preacher who cannot control his fleshly sexual desire is a false
teacher. God does not work though carnal people, rather he works through
people who are led by his spirit. God works in people before he uses
them for any service. God is holy, and his servants are holy. Do not
follow an immoral preacher even if he raises someone from the dead.
Selfish Ambition
Ambition is a trait that is applauded by the world but in God’s
kingdom, ambition for self is sinful (Phil 2.3). These false teachers
preach Christ to satisfy their selfish ambitions (Phil 1.17). They
desire to promote self, more than anything else. They are more earth
than heaven conscious. They desire the pride of life and earthly
possessions. They desire fame, political power, institutional positions
and the comforts of life. They point their institutional ministries to
people instead of pointing the Lord Jesus Christ to people. Beware of false teachers! "Many people will follow their immoral ways, and because of them the
way of truth will be maligned. In their greed they will exploit you with
deceptive words" (2 Pet 2.2). "…because false messiahs (christs) and false prophets will appear and
display great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the
elect" (Mat 24.24). "Christ" means anointed one. This means that in the last days many
false anointed ones will come. Many will come saying that they are
anointed by God, but they are of the devil. We are in the dark times, may the Lord be your light.
