Betrayed For 30 Pieces Of Silver From A Wife S Perspective

Have you ever considered the fact that nothing "just happens"? Everything that was done to you in your life required God's permission. We are always going to have a Goliath, a Judas, a Pontius Pilate who stands against us in our lives. It was my Judas who set the stage and put me on course for my destiny. Remember Legion? Remember how Jesus cast the demons out of his body? These demons fled into a herd of pigs, only to be drowned in the river. The townspeople came to witness Legion's miracle, but then asked Jesus to leave when they realized it was their pigs that drowned. Isn't that how most people are? Happy for us until they realize it costs them something. All of a sudden, they're gone. This too required God's permission. We all have a Judas who has betrayed us. We all have a Goliath that fought us, we all have a Pontius Pilate who crucified us, and a Pharaoh who assigns us our identity. All these obstacles in our lives were positioned to set us on course. What they meant for evil, God uses for our good.

Drawing from philosophy, religion, biology, behavioral and social sciences, and the arts, The Routledge International Handbooks of Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Character Development, Volumes I and II, present cutting-edge scholarship about the concept of character across the life span, the developmental and contextual bases of character, and the key organizations of societal sectors, within and across nations, that promote character development in individuals, families, and communities. This second volume, Moderators, Threats, and Contexts, focuses on the moderators and covariates of character development with chapters pertaining to cultural- and contextual-based exemplars of character development; grit, achievement, and resilience; hope for the future; and parenting and self-regulation. With contributions from international experts, Volume II goes on to discuss threats to moral, positive, or virtuous character development, as well as the different contexts wherein the character is studied and promoted. Special attention is paid to the centers of excellence at universities around the world that specialize in character development research and character education. This comprehensive publication is an essential reference for researchers and graduate students in behavioral sciences, biology, philosophy, theology, and economics, as well as practitioners leading or evaluating character education or character development programs around the world.

This book is the product of my blog Lifes Lessons. I am happy to share it with you. The reflections therein are not a product of an in-depth research into the problems of life. Neither are they an exhaustive treatise on the topics reflected upon. Great theologians and spiritual writers have dealt extensively and systematically on the problems of life. Having sat at their feet as a priest for twenty-five years, read, prayed, and reflected on the Holy Bible and had the opportunity to preach to the people of God during this period, I hereby offer my brief reflections on the lessons of life as I see it, gleaned from my experiences.

This book is for Christians troubled by doubts and questions. It's for those who feel remorse for losing the "Faith of Our Fathers". It's for Christians willing to consider whether or not the Bible is literally true, and historically accurate. The author, once an ordained minister, analyzes the Jesus Story: his nativity, adolescence, ministry and resurrection. He shares with you his research on the authorship and authenticity of the gospels, as well as the earliest Christian manuscripts. He summarizes theological dissentions in the early church, three schisms that fractured the Church, and the Crusades. You will see how geological clocks of science (fossils, carbon 14 and uranium) shed light on the Biblical accounts of Creation, the Great Flood, and Noah's ark. The title of the last chatper is "Ethics Without the Supernatural".

You know the Big questions. When did it all begin? Before creation, what? Before that? Where was I 10,000 years ago? When will it all end? But I suppose that the question that bothers people most is: How can God, the omnipotent, the Creator, be good when there is so much evil in the world? Here is an attempt to face up to the eternal, unsolvable contradictory questions about God, Jesus, the church and the practice of faith in the Christian life. Without negating traditional religion concepts, God is embraced in all of his attributes. He has a dark side. He is jealous, egotistical, cruel, tyrannical, killer of innocent hordes. He is also recognized as a great deliverer, lover of good, supporter of mankind, and a generally good companion. The Christian opts to address this second image of God, the beneficent. The author has struggled with the definition and nature of God all his life. He has found that he can question God and acknowledge his/her dark side while at the same time love God and bask in his presence and love. Here is a new kind of spiritual journey -- intellectually honest and committed in faith.
