water to wine

No matter how Jesus did it.

It was a miracle 

Empty ceremonial jars,

Filled with water.

And given to the master of ceremony to drink, wine.

Its like making a cup of ribeana or cordial.

A little dried powder wine or syrup at the bottom of the flask. And add some water.

Its "like" 

But that's probably not how Jesus did it.

His was a miracle.

is phone addiction as bad as porn

Seems like it

In fact it's worse, 

Because it's acceptable 

You can watch porn in public, 

But you can use the phone 

the ability to forget

The ability to forget things... 

...is a gift humans have.

One that might go away with using AI,

That remembers everything in databases.

Unless it learns to forget things too

breathing in bed

One of the best activities to do...

james 3:1-2 teaching and the tongue

Dcmc asked me to be a Sunday school teacher...

To be a teacher in the church.

Is not something to be taken lightly.

Because those who do take up the responsibility have a higher standard to uphold.

Is it necessarily a bad thing? No. Life, without its struggles,  cease to be worth living. An easy life is not the way to the narrow door.

Thus, guard your tongue. Start there. The words that we speak out, audible.  Has to come from our minds and hearts first. Let a guardian angel stand at the doorway of our lips, so that wahtever passes through is edifying and glorifies Jesus.

Whatever is gossip and unholy, let it die In our thoughts, as we submit it to God in meditation and quietness.

galatians 5:19-21. evil and good behaviours

Galatians 5:19-21 NLT

[19] When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, [20] idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, [21] envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Christians don't follow laws for the sake of it (read earlier verses of chapter 5)..

We just acknowledge that certain behaviours are just results of listening to the devil

As well as doing the hard stuff like loving and forgiving is of the Holy Spirit.

That's why we need His strength and help to do so. By human means, some things are just impossible 

Romans 14 condemning others

"what kind of Christian are you to act like that????"

When that thought comes to mind.

Sigh.

A Christian is still a human, they still get angry, they still get frustrated and vent out all the dissatisfaction of life...

They're just being authentic. And we have this condescending thought that they shouldn't be acting or saying or doing something like that.

God save me.

I am in much more need of reprimand than the other person in my mind.

I am wretched.

Self control, is not for others that we should judge them if they have it or not. The only person we are accountable for this is ourselves towards God.
