We need to facilitate moving people toward the line supernatural line of faith.


One of the most profound and helpful concepts for Christians on evangelism.

Just Walk Across The Room by Bill Hybels
"I believe many people begin their spiritual quest at a negative ten and that my role is facilitate their movement to a negative eight" ... "[Sometimes] you might have the priviledge of taking someone who is teetering right on the edge all the way to a positive one, right across the supernatual line of faith. The thrill of it all exists in the fact that as we walk into a spiritual exchange, you and I have no idea what role the Spirit has ordained for us to play...."

Germany Vacation

Lina, Christian, and I visited Lina's sister in Germany last week. We had a great time hanging with them. Lina's sister was an excellent tour guide and took us all over Bavaria. We drove right to the border of Germany and Austria near Switzerland and visited Neuschwanstein castle. It was beautiful country.

Albert Einstein on God

Nobody, certainly, will deny that the idea of the existence of an omnipotent, just, and omnibeneficent personal God is able to accord man solace, help, and guidance; also, by virtue of its simplicity it is accessible to the most undeveloped mind. But, on the other hand, there are decisive weaknesses attached to this idea in itself, which have been painfully felt since the beginning of history. That is, if this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, and every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards He would to a certain extent be passing judgment on Himself. How can this be combined with the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him?

Before I post in response to Einstein, would anyone like to comment on this?

Saturday Outreach

Lina and I went with a group of people from http://www.discoverlifechurch.tv and invited people to church for Easter. In all honesty, in the beginning, there wasn't much response from people we met. Most people took the invitation and went on with their business, and that continued on for an hour or so. But God moved in an awesome way towards the end of our trip, and three people dedicated their life to the Lord! Isn't that awesome!? As a result, three people's lives have been completely changed.

The bible says that, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2 Cor 5:17

Hallelujah!!

Exercizing and the Brain

Sometimes I use the Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board to exercize. The Wii Fit offers Yoga and Strength training, with 15 different exercizes for each type of workout. The training focuses on almost every part of the body, including the abs, hips, legs, arms, and back. I prefer doing the yoga workout exercizes because I enjoy the clear thinking I experience after each workout. Deep breathing is a big part of every yoga exercize, it helps relieve muscle stress and provides oxygen to the brain.

From what I've read, the brain is divided into two halves, the left and right brain, as they are commonly referred to. Experiments have been done to find out what distinguishes the left brain from the right brain, and what scientists have found is that the left brain is responsible for logical, analytical, thinking and also likes numbers and words. The right brain is responsible for associating patterns, images, free association of thoughts, and intuition. People tend to be either left brain dominant or right. And for some reason, the left brain control the right side of our body, and the right brain controls the left side of our body. There is also a pathway that connects the two halves of the brain so that they can communicate with one another.

When we exercize, we normally have to use both sides of our body. That means both sides of our brain are being used simultaneously to control our movement, the left side moving the right limbs and the right side moving the left limbs. There is a total stimulation of the mind when we exercize our body in that both sides are trying to accomplish the same goal and are undergoing equal stimulation. I would guess that regular exercize would help balance the dominance of both halves of the brain, so that a person would not tend to be either left or right brain dominant. Why would someone want to be both? Being a balanced right and left brain thinker will help solve more problems creatively, and will help finish your creative projects with more objectiveness and focus. Every great artist is also a great scientist, and vice versa.
