    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 6,576 views

At one point it cut to a shot of a bible opened up to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you ...read more

    I’d like for you to join with me in thinking back to your high school years for a moment, and in doing so, how many of you at your high school had a poll asking for who in your graduating class was most likely to do certain things?

    Does what a person repeatedly think about, and how they think about it, determine who they are becoming?

    There has been a growing belief within Christianity that started with the ‘power of positive thinking/word of faith’ movements that what a person repeatedly thinks about, and how they think about it, will determine who they are becoming, and it is quoted as neuroscience fact, which it is not. ...read more
