28.2.14
– Stay completely offline, & no meddling (trouble-shooting, maintenance, etc.) at least for one whole day every week.
On other days, keep the interaction with high-tech stuff (other than for routine chores) to less than 2 hours, to prevent ‘excarnation’!
Don’t spend more than half-an-hour straight, staring at the screen &/or typing. Breathe deep. Never multi-task – do only one thing at a time, step-by-step, slow & steady. Be patient (hi-tec can be surprisingly slow!). Do monthly maintenance on your system. Take breaks – walk around & move limbs. Close eyes. When the time is up, shutdown & postpone whatever work remains for tomorrow…
– Match mode (TT) – where is your killer-instinct, Joe?!
…C’mon sissy!
– A B
A relationship consists of all the ways in which 2 (or more) people directly affect one another (positively, negatively & otherwise). It is (almost) as real as the persons or individuals involved!
– Which is stronger (more durable) – life or death?
– Start Culture Club (Read/view, review & discuss books & films)
– Every blessing is a potential curse!
– Dialogue:
“Complete salvation –> perfect happiness!” – J
“I don’t agree … think again about the error in ur statement” – S
“Hmmm…… I don’t know uncle.
Complete salvation IS perfect happiness??” – J
“Is there something like incomplete salvation … If so what is it? Explain.
I know of … crossing over from death to life. What is this bridge where u don’t belong to either category.” – S
“Is there not a future dimension to salvation that we await??
Or is everything done & dusted already?
If so, then why all the evil & suffering still?!
Therefore, the final consummation still remains!” – J
“So do u imply that happiness is only after all is done and dusted. Isn’t our joy complete because of His completed work on the cross? Yes … Creation still groans … but waiting not for salvation but for redemption and revelation of the Sons of God. Irrespective of what is yet to happen … my joy is complete and I experience it in proportion to the anointing I have. Agreed?” – S
“Is your joy already complete now, uncle??
Salvation is complete only potentially now, not yet in full actuality.
Even death is ALREADY conquered, but NOT YET destroyed…
The future is certain & the promise is guaranteed, & so we rejoice (in hope) NOW!” – J
“Read Jn 15: 10, 11” – S
“I agree with you that our subjective experience of salvation is partial, but even objectively, there is more to come, although everything necessary for the fulfillment is already accomplished” – J
“True … but it is in this hope that I live. To me this hope is the evidence … THE EVIDENCE of things not seen… This is my faith. And this faith tells me all is achieved though in time much is desired to be done. And my joy is COMPLETE.” – S
“Mmm… I guess each of us is just emphasizing two different sides of the same coin.
…AMEN!” – J
“I thought so as well … 🙂
May our Lord Jesus bless you. Amen.” – S
“Same to you, sir!” – J
