Cant Catch a Break

Are people getting tired of the money and entertainment they see on TV as the church does not show the love for the people, and many now are saying, Why go if God is not being worshiped like he should be ?The drop in Americans identifying as Christians is as surprising as it is sharp. In the early 1990s, over 90% of US adults identified as Christians. Today, only 63% do. The number professing no religion has spiked from 6% to 29%. The Nones, Pew surmises, will likely be the majority within 50 years.

What does all of this mean for church leaders? Simple: The drift away from faith is in the water supply. No longer just an “I went to college and lost my faith” kind of phenomenon, the drift out of church and Christianity is widespread and impacting almost everyone.

This, of course, is not fatal, but it is real.

If your church grew largely because the culture was Christian, it’s now declining largely because the culture is less Christian.

If you want to reach more people in the future, it will require a dramatic reinvention to reach a post-Christian culture and a generation that’s no longer wired to accept what you say at face value.

First, you are the church, which means you’re engaged in the mission in some meaningful way.

And second, you’re creating space where everybody (regardless of their background) can hear and experience the news of Christ’s love for them.

But that also means we live in an age where attending church for attendance’s sake is dying. Fast.

And maybe that’s what we see happening around us. People who aren’t engaged in the mission are leaving the mission. It could explain

Without love, you fail no matter how big the church is or how much money you have. God does not have a Respect of person all people are somebody in the house of the lord

Happy Easter

Churches sometimes struggle to get along with each other due to a combination of factors, including a focus on their own growth and power, differing theological perspectives, and a lack of understanding and collaboration. Instead of focusing on expanding the Kingdom of God, some churches prioritize their own success, leading to competition and isolation. Pride and ego can also play a role in church conflicts. Some church leaders may be resistant to acknowledging their own limitations or being mentored by others, leading to a reluctance to collaborate and a focus on their own vision.

Research shows that, for the most part, the amount of money you make will not make you happier. It’s actually your relationship with money that will help determine how happy you are. The good news is, you have a say in that relationship.

When we reflect on what we have in our life instead of what we don’t, we are happier. This concept comes from a ton of research on scarcity. Our perception of having less of something than others has a big impact on our happiness, even it’s just our perception.4 So, when we think of all the great things we have in our lives, we could increase our happiness without increasing our wealth.

“While it’s true that having more money doesn’t usually make us less happy, it’s also true that simply having more money doesn’t guarantee happiness,” Norton says. “People should stop thinking exclusively about how to get more money, and instead focus more on whether they are getting the most happiness out of the money they already have.”

There will be always a void in your life unless you look to the True source of being happy: God

Children who face regular verbal abuse process negative information more quickly and thoroughly than positive information. Studies reveal that children exposed to controlling parents are more likely to suffer from low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness, and persistent sadness.emotions, memory, and stress response. Fear-based discipline doesn’t just affect behavior but can also lead to long-term cognitive challenges.Some adults who experienced verbal abuse as children struggle with long-term anxiety, emotional regulation, and trust issues.

Children who are frequently yelled at may believe their parent is attacking their personality rather than their behavioral issues. This can cause them to act out and continue doing things their parent disapproves of.

• Anxiety
• Moodiness
• Shame
• Frequent crying
• Fear
• Guilt
• Withdrawal from the parent
• Confusion
• Powerlessness or hopelessness

If you’ve experienced any of these negative effects of yelling, whether from controlling parents, a partner, or other relationships, it’s essential to seek help.  Mental health professionals can help you work through the psychological impact of verbal aggression, emotional abuse, and behavior problems that stem from childhood or adult relationships.

With cognitive processing therapy and other modalities, therapists can help you get to the root of these issues or even work through them in family counseling or couples counseling.

I leave you with this: any day that you do not want to admit you have not been affected by this as a child up until now will continue to cripple you down life's journey

When we understand that we are going to suffer, instead of complaining about it, we can look for ways to persevere and endure. As children of God, we need to remind one another that suffering in this lifetime is temporary, while the joy of Heaven is forever!Sometimes, we can do the same thing as Peter did when we are defending ourselves or others. We can cut off another person’s ears with our words, causing major damage to their hearing and making them unable to hear what we are trying to tell them. Sometimes when we are trying to convey something to someone or feel accused or attacked, our words can become weapons that can cut off the ear of another person, causing them to be deaf to our words. In other words, our irritated, angry, defensive words can stop the other person from listening, therefore making them unable to hear anything else we say.  One thing about life is you will be disliked for no reason, and it will usually be the ones you know, and you as a person continue to love and do good no matter what others think or say about you.

When dealing with family members who talk behind your back, it's crucial to protect your emotional well-being and maintain healthy boundaries. Prioritize self-care, limit interactions with these individuals, and consider whether to address the behavior directly or simply avoid it. 

Father, You tell me to love fully and deeply and to care for one another just as You do for me. Please help me to be able to know the best way to love my family like Jesus would. Give me the ability to discern what Jesus would do in my situation and give me the ability by the power of Your Holy Spirit to carry out the actions Jesus would take. I pray all these things, in His holy name. Amen.

“ THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY !!!”initials “DJT,”

According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), market manipulation is when “someone artificially affects the supply or demand for a security,” which can include spreading false information or rigging quotes, prices, or trades to make it look like there is more demand.

Insider trading, on the other hand, is described as “buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, on the basis of material, nonpublic information about the security.” A classic example of this would be if someone privy to information that would change a volatile stock market let their close family or friends know, so that they could either sell or buy stocks in the hopes of turning a profit.

MY QUESTION IS FROM BOTH PARTIES: WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE FOUND GUILTY OF TURNING PROFIT ILLEGALLY?

This is the most corrupt time we have ever seen this White House in history, going back to the 1930s when a recession was on the loom and now. and What will the millions and millions of people see in the coming days of the White House that will make the movie Scandal look like it was never aired on TV compared to what we are witnessing now? Because America is losing all of the credibility that it once stood for down in history. So, as the voters look on and see Evil move at a rapid rate, what will prevail as the world is hopeless in seeing the Democracy being taken over by cold hearts and evil minds? Remember, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. The songs from Amazing Grace, how sweet that sound ? Even as the stars spangled banner has not even been looked upon by veterans that fought and died for this country, what is next? Should the voters reclaim their country by voting and standing up for the rule of law because we were founded as one Nation under God, or let this Dictatorship of Government mistreat people? Keep praying, God does not like Evil, it makes him angry and The Bible is Good and no man can win Peace ... liberty and justice for All

Should they side with politics or the rule of law?

Justices of the Supreme Court have repeatedly claimed that the decisions about what cases to decide and how to decide them are not affected by politics. Justice John Roberts said in his confirmation hearing that he is like an umpire, not a batter. Justice Neil Gorsuch said that justices are not like “politicians with robes.” Shortly after her confirmation, Justice Amy Coney Barrett told an audience that her goal was “to convince you that this Court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks.”A substantial majority have lost faith in the court’s vaunted impartiality and believe it is too affected by “politics.” A Quinnipiac poll conducted after the Dobbs leak in May of last year found that 63% of Americans believe the Supreme Court is mainly motivated by politics. A Yahoo poll around the same time found that 74% believe the Court is “too politicized.”so after years of reading and seeing with my own eyes and hearing, over 5 decades later it seems something is wrong and it have not being Addressed, just swept under the carpet

It’s easy to see how a lack of oversight can enable corruption among government officials. For instance, last year, a Connecticut State Representative pleaded guilty to stealing $1.2 million from COVID-19 relief funds. This has been the only case so far of a government official misappropriating COVID-19 relief funds, but the truth is that no one really knows where a lot of the money in these funds went. While the unprecedented times of COVID-19 may have necessitated cutting red tape in favor of getting money out quickly, it is important that transparency and accountability return to government spending following the pandemic. 

There are, of course, countless examples of corruption within the U.S. Some examples include major banks being exposed There are, of course, countless examples of corruption within the U.S. Some examples include major banks being exposed for doing little to stop illegal financial transactions and accusations against President Trump that he has thousands of conflicts after not divesting from his businesses while in office. There are countless other cases of corruption that have gone unnoticed or unreported. However, it is necessary to put these instances of corruption in perspective. While corruption is a pervasive problem, The assault and the attack on the democracy are here, and if God does not stop it, then we will see America come to a great end, praying...

This is where the mind-shifting begins. Write down how much money you make and how much you spend every month.

The fixed expenses are easy to figure out. A little guesswork is required for variable expenses, but you can get a pretty good fix by averaging three or four months of payments.

About 99% of all U.S. households had at least one streaming service in January 2024, according to Forbes. The survey did not say what percentage has no idea how much it pays each month to be entertained.

TV aside, Americans also subscribe to cable TV, internet, weight-loss and a smorgasbord of other monthly services. Once they’re set up, it’s easy to forget they are quietly deducting money every month from your bank account.

You should list all your subscriptions and ask:

• How much do I use this?
• Do I really need this?
• Can I live without this

Financial advisors say you shouldn’t spend more than 30% of your income on housing. Only 23% of Americans who own homes exceed that limit, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

But more than half (52%) of people renting go above 30%. A Harvard study in 2024 found that 12.1 million renter households spend more than half their income on housing.
