Unconditional Love. I am currently sitting in master leaders session at National Youth Alive summit listening to Sanga interview Mike Pilavachi. The longes serving youth pastor in the world. When asked what is the thing that has kept you serving God, Mike simply replied, “it has been my realization and complete understanding that I am loved unconditionally.. that is why I am still able to serve Jesus the way I do” If haven’t already.. Read the doctors blog about unconditional love.. That’s all.

Unconditional Love.

I am currently sitting in master leaders session at National Youth Alive summit listening to Sanga interview Mike Pilavachi. The longes serving youth pastor in the world.

When asked what is the thing that has kept you serving God, Mike simply replied, “it has been my realization and complete understanding that I am loved unconditionally.. that is why I am still able to serve Jesus the way I do”

If haven’t already.. Read the doctors blog about unconditional love.. That’s all.

Fight or Flight? I was driving in the car today with James (aka whenthedonkeyfooledthelion) and it struck me… What would I do if a snake came out of my air vent while I was driving and bit me in the face? What notion would I employ? Fight or Flight? Would I run, or would I face it? Most of you are probably thinking that I’ve lost the plot. And the other group of you, all the lateral thinkers, are questioning even the relevance of the question because to you it was never my choice in the first place. You would argue that the choice lay in the (theoretical) hands of the snake as he sat crouched in the tight confines of the mazda3’s air ventilation. And in that moment the outcome would be decided with one explosive lunge as the snake shot out through the air and grabbed on to my face. In doing so it could be argued that in this situation when faced with the option, he / she faced it! (correct gender allocation in the case described above depends on your ability to remain calm and introduce a smooth, blunt, lubricated slender probe into its cloaca, pushing it against the posterior wall to see if it can be freely pushed to the base of the tail. read more @ [http://www.vpi.com/publications/determining_the_sex_of_snakes] NB: the likeliness of being able to test a snakes gender while it has a hold of your face is relatively slim however.) As we move back to the issue at hand, it would beckon that in this case “fight” be the standout victor. In conclusion, the very next time you are faced with the dilemma of fight or flight.. Just ask yourself.. “what would I do if a snake came out of my air vent and bit me on the face?” More meaningless chatter to come.. ~ the Dribblr.

“The virtue of teachability is seperate to contingent and circumstantial emotion.”
Teachability. “The virtue of teachability is seperate to contingent and circumstantial emotion.” “Personal character development rests in the hands of others.” Which statement is true? In complementing the doctor’s recent blog, the only other question I wish to pose in relation to understanding this further is, is the recieved feeling of love our decision or anothers? Are we reliant on a feeling only another can give in order to access the secret to our success? Man can only harness the true power of the word ‘reliance’ through a revelation of something truely reliable. And through that comes peace in certainty and certainty to it’s greatest potential. The only certainty of love comes from above, all other forms vary based on contingent and circumstantial factors. Therefore, search until you bleed that revelation, because if teachability is the key to success and certainty of unconditional love is the gateway, begin yesterday the search for true reliability. Simply knowing this is far opposed to adopting it as your character, your identity. Musing further, If we link the secret of teachability, which in fact is the secret to success, to a temporary feeling, we create a problem in the sense that we become organisers of emotions instead of men and women of unshakeable principal. Men and women that no matter the circumstance, no matter the obstacle, no matter how we feel, will stand steadfast by the principal of teachability forsaking all else, with a deep rooted understanding that the right principal is more powerful than an emotional or feeling based motivation. Therefore it is our choice to either be slaves to our human nature, governed by how we feel, allowing motivation to rest in the hands of others, or conversely decide our conviction regarding our need for teachability with fear and trembling before God. Teachability is a decision, your decision. Selah.
