Your Mind Matter (adopted to Hopenet.net.ph)

February 5, 2010

To Glorify

Firstly, to use our minds glorifies our Creator. It acknowledges that we have a rational Creator who made us rational beings in God’s own image, a creator who has given us in nature and in Scripture a double rational revelation. Francis Bacon, the 17th century philosopher-statesman said (in The Advancement of Learning, 1605) that God has written not one book but two— the “book of God’s words” (Scripture) and the “book of God’s works” (nature). There’s an important parallel between science and theology. Science is the attempt to understand what God has revealed in nature; theology is the attempt to understand what God has revealed in Scripture.

Both are investigations into divine revelation, explorations of God’s mind. In both (to paraphrase the astronomer Johann Kepler as quoted in The Home Book of Quotations, 10th edition) we’re thinking divine thoughts after God has thought them. As the great Albert Einstein once said, the only incomprehensible thing about the universe is its comprehensibility (”Physics and Reality” in Franklin Institute Journal, March 1936).

To Enrich

Secondly, to use our minds enriches our discipleship, no part of which is possible if we don’t use them, every part of which is enriched if we do. Failure to use our minds in the Christian life condemns us to spiritual stagnation and perpetual immaturity.

My first example of this is worship. Every Christian is a worshipper. But we cannot worship God if we don’t know God. Christians aren’t like those Athenians whose altar Paul found inscribed “to an unknown god.” No, worship is a response to revelation. That’s why the reading and exposition of God’s word in public worship is indispensable. The word of God is what evokes the worship of God. To worship is to “glory in God’s holy name” (Psalm 105:3)—that is, to revel in who God is. So we have to dissent from that worshipper who said that he felt like unscrewing his head and putting it under his seat, since in worship he had no use for anything above his collar button. To be sure, our emotions are also involved, for sometimes in worship we’re transported above and beyond ourselves. But in all true worship we’re reflecting on the greatness and glory of God.

My second example is faith. It’s amazing how many Christians imagine that faith and reason are mutually incompatible. After all, they’re never placed in antithesis to one another in Scripture. Faith and sight are contrasted, but not faith and reason. For what is faith? Faith isn’t a synonym for credulity or superstition. Faith is not “an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable” (H. L. Mencken, the so-called sage of Baltimore, in Prejudices: Third Series, 1923). No, faith is a reasoning trust. Consider Psalm 9:10, “Those who know your name put their trust in you.” That is, we trust because we know that God is trustworthy. So the more we use our minds to reflect on the character, covenant, and promises of God, the more our faith is drawn out from us.

My third example of enriching our discipleship is guidance. We all want to discern God’s will for our lives. But too many Christians regard the guidance of God as a convenient alternative to thought, a device for saving us the bother of thinking. They regard their minds as a screen onto which they expect God to flash answers to their questions and solutions to their problems. And of course God is free to do this. But the normal way of guidance is through the mental processes God has created, not in spite of them.

Notice the beautiful balance of Psalm 32:8, 9 (NIV):
I will instruct you and teach
you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.

Verse 8 contains a threefold promise of guidance: “I will instruct you…I will teach you the way you should go…I will counsel you with my eye upon you” (RSV). But verse 9 adds a prohibition to the promise: “Do not be like a horse or mule which lack understanding.” In other words God says to us: “I promise I will guide you, but don’t expect me to guide you as you guide horses and mules. Why not? For the simple reason that you aren’t a horse or mule. To be sure, they have a rudimentary brain, but they lack understanding, intelligence, or wisdom. You, however, were made in my image rational beings and must use the minds which I have given you.”

To sum up, in worship, faith, and guidance, and indeed in every aspect of our discipleship, we must use our God-given minds. Our progress will be seriously impeded if we don’t, but wonderfully facilitated if we do.

To Strengthen

Thirdly, to use our minds strengthens our witness. One of the major reasons some people reject the gospel isn’t that they perceive it to be false, but because they perceive it to be trivial. It doesn’t seem to be big enough for the complex and tragic world in which we live. Of course it’s right to simplify the gospel (it would be silly to complicate it), but it’s wrong to trivialize it.

The apostles didn’t make this mistake. On the contrary, they weren’t afraid to use their minds and develop arguments in evangelism. In their ministry, apologetics and evangelism, the defense and proclamation of the gospel, went hand in hand. Paul defined his ministry in the words “We try to persuade others” (2 Corinthians 5:11). But we cannot persuade people without using arguments. To be sure, his trust was in the Holy Spirit, who alone can bring people to faith in Jesus, but the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. It brings people to faith not in spite of the evidence, but because of the evidence when people’s minds are opened to attend to it. We need to be able to say to people what Paul said to the procurator Festus: “What I am saying is true and reasonable” (Acts 26:25).

Perhaps the best example is what Paul did in Ephesus when he visited it during his third missionary journey. He began his mission in the synagogue, but then rented the hall of Tyrannus for two years. There every day, some manuscripts adding “from the fifth hour to the tenth” (that is, from 11 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon), when most Ephesians would have been enjoying their midday siesta, Paul argued and debated the gospel. A daily five-hour lecture six days a week for two years is 3,120 hours of gospel argument. No wonder we read that “all the residents of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord” (Acts 19:10). For Ephesus was the capital of provincial Asia, and everybody came up to Ephesus at some point—to visit the library or the amphitheatre or the temple of Diana—and while there, many listened to Paul, were converted, and returned home newborn in Christ. It’s a strategy for city-center evangelism that we need to recover today.

In conclusion, let us repent of the cult of mindlessness, of any residual intellectual laziness of which we may be guilty. Anti-intellectualism is a negative and destructive mindset. It insults God who has made us. It impoverishes us, hindering our spiritual growth, and it weakens our testimony in the world. Whereas a conscientious use of our minds glorifies God, enriches us, and strengthens our evangelistic witness. We come back to where we began: “in your thinking grow up!”

FYI: TECHNLOGY A CURSE OR A BLESSING??

 KEDDIE OBIDOS

Global economy nowadays is strongly dependent on the power of modern technology even small business, government, nongovernment, private and even public sector of our society, because of this trend everybody tries to set aside some money for them to purchase a newly developed technology such as cell phone, computer and the like.

 

The intensify of technology however has good side and bad side: the good side is that because of the modern technology we can have our transaction easier, faster and more convenient to used and one of the positive side of technology is providing an easiest way for us to save our time and effort less on human resources be it mental or physical and because of technology we cam easily communicate to our friends and relatives by using of “cell phone” and “internet” and in terms of business we can produced “goods” just a matter of hour and minutes and most importantly technology is requiring only a few experts to manipulate the job since everything is electronically operated by the technology and it is much more interesting to used, technology brought by modernization, but the worse thing is that there is a price attach to it.

 

Since modern gadget is in demand for todays needs it means that the volume of production of the manufacturers is in demand and more on variable input so mass production occurs. Goods then not to force the people to buy the product. Then Quality therefore gives way to quantity. The result would be a hence to the people in our environment such as flood, air pollution and water pollution. Also because of the modern technology there would have an increasingly jobseekers that will result to unemployment and because of this reason it could cause crime. Also because of this advanced technology many of youth on our society is in contact with the problem of the modern technology, nowadays they could not focus on their study but instead facing on the internet and cell phone as one of their priority in today’s life.

 

Therefore TECHNOLOGY A CURSE OR A BLESSING?..  Nowadays to the present and future generation. We the people depend on the technology because they are blinded on it. Others think that technology is blessing which simply to improve the simple lifestyle of living. If people will be able to change their attitude by using technology wisely and controlling their self, then we have no longer problem about this and to mention technology advancement will not be a curse but a blessing to the entire people.

Tips During Examination ! ! !

November 29, 2008

Examination is the worse part for a student life especially during Prelim, Midterm and most of all the Final examination which has the higher percentage of grade.

For the student here some tips on how to review effectively so that we not fail during examination.
 

     There should be a Reviewer always

Do list the important detail of the topic and make summary of this (so that it is easy for you to review and to point out the important details of your topic)

 

    Morning Study

Do you believe that the proper time to study is 5:00-7:00 in the morning so that you must review in hour before you take an exam, to refresh your mind?

             They said that it is effective.

 

    Be fresh and relax

 To understand what you just review be fresh not only your body but also your mind, and be relax don’t be nervous when you are taking the exam, be confident with your self and do not copy from other cause sometimes it causes to failure (except if you did not study)

 

    Eat Peanut and chocolate

 I am a peanut and chocolate lover, I recommend it.

 Try……. To be believe.

 

    Just once

 Be alone if you are studying, so that you will understand what you’ve just studied.

 

    Be full, don’t be hungry.

 Eat always especially breakfast, and lunch and do also eat snack if you have a lot of exam to take ( so that you will not be mental block during examination)

 

    Do Pray

 It is the most effective way during examination ask help from above, do pray, I’m sure he will help you ( not with your seatmate it’s not good, remember always the word CONSCIENCE

 

    inspiration

 Do inspired with your family, friends, classmates and also to your crush or love one it’s not good for them if you have a failing grade …..eAAWW.

 

    group Study

 It is good also to have a group study, so that each of us can share knowledge with each other.

 

HEHEHEHEHEHEH.

 

It is just only a tips if you are taking an examination, but it’s up to us on how we study or review if we have an exam, they are some who review or studied while listening music and sometimes while watching television, but the most important things to remember is just we should not cheat, because cheater is stiller, we must stand with our own answer always just do believe with your self and most especially to GOD.

LOVE your life as you LOVE other’s

November 21, 2008

  As we live every hours, minute, seconds here in the world i know that we just focus only on what we called MONEY, but is money is important than life, (yes  for others), but for me the most important things to remember always is just not MONEY but “LOVE” and “LIFE”, if love exist we forget all of our problems that we just encounter.

We can live in a simple life but in good health, not just to live in riches one but no one love us, so what is the purpose of your wealth without something to guide you to help you in terms you are in need.

 their is a lot of a human being who live on this world who is riches and can buy whatever they want, they can do what they want and to do everything; but the worse thing for them is that they don’t  know the importance thing here in the world:

 to Accept JESUS, LIFE, And LOVE.

 we know that they are happy of what they are doing, they are happy for blessings they have, but did they know that in terms of problems they just call the father above, not all but others.

We should always remember not just being rich is a perfect and happy life, but to have a love and GOD that will guide us for our daily life.
