The core issue is rebellion against God, refusing to conform to His image.
Ultimately, the root cause of many conflicts and issues in our world stems from the rejection of the image of God. This rejection can manifest in a variety of ways, such as rebelling against His authority, disregarding His principles, or denying His existence altogether. When we turn away from His image, we also turn away from the inherent value of each person.
It can create a divide between individuals, communities, and even nations, leading to a breakdown in relationships and a lack of respect for one another. It is as if we forget that we are all connected and that we all have intrinsic value. Fundamentally, the rejection of the image of God is a rejection of the inherent value of each individual. The consequences of rejecting the image of God are severe. We are witnessing that happening.
By acknowledging and accepting Him, we can promote unity, understanding, and a shared sense of purpose. We can begin to see that what unites us is stronger than what divides us.

Do not be defined by what is on the outside, because it is what is on the inside that matters, and that is what makes you beautiful.

I found out someone I went to high school with & went to my elementary school with too passed away. Gone in a handsbreath is how the Bible puts it. There’s been a few since graduation. High school was hard for me but I thought he was genuine. It’s always the good ones.

What is your skill set and experience? I think a lot of customer service places have gone remote. Many times if I'm placing an order for online shopping, when I talk to somebody on the other side of the phone there's usually a dog or baby making noise in the background. It seems like they might have flexible hours. Are you living on a camps or commuting? Universities I think should be having job fairs for summer jobs coming up. There may be remote options.

I'm attending Liberty University online. They're in VA and I'm in MI. I've already contacted them and they said they do have a lot of work programs and even remote jobs, but for some reason there are a few states they don't "do business with" and Michigan is one of them.What is your skill set and experience?

Just finished preparing the questions and answers for tonight's young adults bible study at my church. We're going through Acts 4 to 6. Reading through it, seems straight forward. However, I'm finding its true, leading a study helps you learn the Bible in a greater way. One thing I've been doing is analyzing each verse closely, and finding there is more to learn. In Acts 6, it mentions Stephen went to the synagogue of the Freedmen. I would of over looked that on my own. Taking a look at who the Freedmen were, gave me some historical information. In the first century BC, Pompey captured Jews and took them back to Rome to make them slaves. These Jews were so devout in their faith, they refused to work on the sabbath, and adhered to kosher law. This made them useless as slaves, so Pompey released them to be free. The term Freedmen referred to them and their descendants.

Ohh no. Are there universities nearby you could contact to see if they have job fairs you can attend? Getting a job through the university could be beneficial. Might even get intern time.

I'm a pastoral intern at my church right now. It's an unpaid position mainly because we are a smaller church.
I did apply for a position as a homeless coordinator so please pray I get it!

My friend from high school, Amy, announced this morning at FB that at last she and her boyfriend of several years are getting married today. Please pray with me that the Lord will bless it and they will be only happy together from this day on.

@bèlla !
Remember this?

(Post 29079, I mean, not the text about what an incel is
)
I actually just got a reply from them saying that they would be back in town at Mule Kick next Friday night! That last time was perhaps one of the most pleasant evenings I had ever spent after just getting out of work for a few days. I look forward to this one, too. ^-^

What's on your mind?
Berating the sexes isn't a healthy way of addressing frustration and pain. Nor is it indicative of Christ's example when we reduce one another to percentages and numbers. Everyone has value and we're all made in His image. It's disingenuous to apply statistics that don't factor in Christianity...
