The Learned

Australia's native heritage was the land before it was Australia. But Australia and the people who called it Australia and made the country of Australia what it is today, our founding fathers, are Christians and Australia the country was built on Christian principles.

Q: I have PTSD but baptism is supposed to be in the sea. I've had really bad experiences and too traumatized to be baptized in the sea.  A: All that trauma should be gone once you are baptized. That's the point of getting baptized. It's much more than just dedicating our lives to God. It means putting to death our old self and being born again as a whole new person. Whoever you were before is not you anymore. Some people even get a new name when they are born again. The devil cannot accuse you of what you have done before because that wasn't you. That was a different person -- that person has died. You are a brand new creation.

Or cover yourself in the blood of Jesus by saying, "I cover myself in the blood of Jesus, in Jesus' name." And then go to sleep -- you can also play worship songs while you sleep. You can listen to Jesus Image services on YouTube.

That's a self righteousness and judgement tone. If we read the book of James and Ekklesiastes, we will learn that there are many preachers out there with different tones because they carry different messages but they all carry the heart of God and what the Spirit is saying to the church, even if it's not something we want to hear, it is not just good for us but the timely message of God.  Read James 4 and try that out loud yourself. I did. Imagine you're James the preacher. That's a pretty strong sermon right there. But I'm pretty sure James was called of God. Parents have to be loving and kind but sometimes, they give us a long lecture and it's hard to swallow but good for us. Sometimes Jesus is not the gentle, meek and kind lover but the fiery prophet with a whip. I dare not judge that they are not from God, especially those heavily anointed, appointed and called by God. Who am I to judge?  I don't always enjoy every church I go to and I do have my fair sh...

Try styrofoam or cardboard after plucking out by hand.. aim for the centre where there are generally no thorns, grab securely and pull upwards with the roots, then bin immediately -- do not gather on ground. Have a lot of it myself. Filled up a whole green bin and there's still more. Use high duty gloves and always check the bottom of your shoes when leaving that area.
