Sherlene Stevens: The 'No" [A] Good Man Named Jesus

Do you believe that Jesus was perfect within the earth realm? Jesus was the only begotten son of God, yes. He was also a male with human characteristics just like you and me; he had flaws just like you and me. The Holy Bible reveals to us that God describes all of his human beings as having flaws and weaknesses. So don't you be afraid of your realities of your imperfect ways. We are human creatures that have an unending desire for more to simply satisfy or fulfill us. This would include Jesus in his humanistic flesh. This would include the reality that Jesus could never be totally perfect here: He came to redeem us from our sins, and to feel and understand human feelings and actions--to help us survive in flesh, and soul or spirit.     Jesus was a man with desires, wants and needs. The two-person (God and Holy Spirit) are not able to truly understand what it's like to be a human because both are the spirit. Yet, God gave us Jesus to explain--to him--humankind's fears...

April's Tweets: Hearing Voices

Tweet Show, @atimetolearn:  Daily Tweet Show Tweet Summary for April "And You, Your Point of View Is__?" is an opportunity for an online, open class-style audience, to ponder of topic tweets which may or may not be factual. Host: Sherlene Stevens. Sponsor Associate: A Time To Learn Academy. First, audience or Tweetees, if you believe that "voices" that you may be hearing are telling you to do a bad thing, STOP ! Simply stop and don't do the action that is being said to you. You'll thank self later, okay. Having faith + Drug addiction+Hearing Voices = A long, but possible, life experience's battle. Don't think that hearing voices cease with health medicines or street drugs. There is so much drug usage in the United States that most States simply assume that all their citizens have a drug addiction challenge. Most drug usage (narcotics, meds), in our country, is to decrease actions of hearing voices. Medical mental medicines can b...

The United Methodist Church: Pastoral Leadership

From the Editor Thanks, to all that wished me a Happy Mother's Day.  I was surprised of the number of viewers who also wished single males, rearing their children, a happy day. We as a society must learn to accept, honor, and appreciate our specific genders.  This behavior is another example of old traditions of family dysfunction, "we don't know any better." Yes, you do. You know that it is a dysfunction to have someone rearing children than their own parents whether it be grandmothers, aunts, uncles, single dads, etc. If we are trying to change a generational curse than we need to understand that this was a day to honor all mothers, not grandmothers. A daughter should have honored her mother which would be her children's grandmother. This is a major reason children become confused in regards to adult roles in their lives. I know it is challenging in some communities where it just seems normal to have dysfunctional households, as if back in the day d...
