It's not enough to fill yourself with the Holy Spirit (The Bible). You have to fill others with it. If you run out of People filled with Bible your church wont last. Your oil will run out. There are so many ways to study today. You can listen to it all day long on mp3 and in your car using Bluetooth. You have to meditate on it day and night. I need to concentrate on the Bible and not on a girl. She may be the most beautiful and irreplaceable thing in all creation but God (The Bible) comes first.

Weird Trick for Making Great Art.

Draw finished drawings right from the start. This is only a trick and not really what you would think of as something a pro would do however. It works because random thoughtless art is better than most artists techniques and hard work. You can think things through and through but for most artists they aren't going to improve on random chance. There probably is a technique that improves on random chance but I'm not sure I've figured it out and I'm not sure anyone has. Anyway Travis Charest would draw finished art right from the start and it looked amazing. It saved time too. Stick figures are good if you are just learning and they are always good but so is finished drawings right from the start because the less you erase and the more precise your lines the easier it is to draw the next line in the perfect spot. Random placement of figures will look really good most of the time because in the end even when you are doing roughs you are attempting to create ...

Parable of the Growing Seed, And the Mustard Seed

The Parable of the Growing Seed 26  He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27  Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28  All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29  As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” This is saying that just by reading the Bible the word of God you will grow spiritually.   It has an effect on you that you don't understand.   It works on you in ways you don't know without you realizing it.  Your heart will love more.   You will be better able to resist temptation.   It's not just about understanding the Bible and learning things or what to do and not to.   It's not just a set of rules (although it is that also)   It's a way of becoming what you want to be.   It takes time thoug...

Differentiation

One thing I've encountered in trying to learn things is that one thing will be essentially similar to another and without realizing it the two have the same properties. You can memorize the outline and have an idea of what a book of the Bible is about and yet can you tell how the different books differ from each other.  It's easy if the books recount events but in the Letters of Paul can you say what each book is about as opposed to the others?   How do the books differ from one another?  This is differentiation and something I think we need to do more of. The interactions of light with matter.   I can read about absorption transmission and reflection?  I rarely come across an explanation that includes all three and as a result of not taking into account all of them we may create an explanation for one that contradicts the explanation of the others.  Even now though I have a hard time coming up with an example because I've thought about all...
