You Don’t Need To Fall Victim To This Silent Killer

What is a stroke? A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or it ruptures. “When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, and this kills brain cells,” according to the Stroke Association. When this happens, the body can’t function since the brain controls the body...http:///articles/things-need-prevent-stroke/

One of the easiest ways to do this is when we are doing nothing. When we have no real goals in life we lack direction and this is when we get lost and do not know our purpose in life. Here are some Christian quotes that I pray encourage you to do something.
Quotes from Famous Christians

You Can Do it

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” ~ Helen Keller

Behave in Love

“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.” ~ C.S. Lewis...http:///articles/christian-quotes-will-encourage-something/

10 Things The Bible Tells Us About Anger

Take it from me: anger is not a lovely emotion to have around. For many years I had a major anger stronghold in my life that acted as a dark cloud hovering over my relationships with family, interactions with friends, and frustrations with strangers. It was something so heavy that I felt like I had no control when it wanted its way.

More than a decade ago, at a youth camp my senior year of high school, God delivered me from the stronghold; the only instant deliverance I’ve ever experienced. The weight I felt lifted is one of the biggest reliefs I’ve ever experienced and to know freedom from anger is truly a gift.

Having struggled with anger for many years I can speak to its destruction and the flip side of a life away from it. In fact, the Bible has a lot to say as well. Here are ten things the Bible tells us about anger.
1. Words can fuel or diffuse anger. (Proverbs 15:1)

Words have great power and it’s no different when it comes to anger. Proverbs tells us that a gentle word can turn away wrath and that a harsh one can stir it up. The power you have to fuel or diffuse anger in a tense conversation or situation is both heavy and fragile. You can completely change the dynamic of a situation with one word.

When you’re faced with the chance to fuel or diffuse anger, what words will you choose to use?


2. Anger leads to sin. (Genesis 49:6)

Anger has the ability to lead to sin. This happens because when we become angry, rational thought often goes out the door. When rational thought flees, our boundaries grow weak and thus, unclear. It’s here our right and wrong is blurred and sin can step in...http:///articles/10-things-bible-tells-us-anger/

There are several reasons why a true child of God should not view pornographic films let alone think about it. This is a tool the devil has used to penetrate the heart of many youth to steal and kill their destinies.

Here is why?

First, Satan loves pornography because he hates freedom.

When we renew our baptismal promises the Church asks: “Do you reject Satan, so as to live in the freedom of God’s children?”

To use pornography is to say: “I do not.” Pornography militates against freedom. The science of it is well known: The human brain, when aroused by erotic images, dumps chemicals into the bloodstream that push the throttle of the viewer to full-speed “give me more” mode. Idle online curiosity quickly becomes addictive obsession.

Dabbling with pornography is like opening the window of a pressurized airplane at a high altitude. It pulls you in and spits you out.

The same thing happens to women involved in the pornography industry. Women seeking modeling careers, or a brief injection of cash in tough times, quickly find themselves in the clutches of a degrading industry, with images of themselves that they regret circulating forever online...http:///articles/5-reasons-satan-loves-pornography/

I am sure you must be wondering what the ‘song of the week‘, well the first time I heard this song I was in a sitted position and by the time the song ended, there was this massive energy flow I could feel in my body.
