What are people thinking? The frequency of suicide and murder-suicides have been in the headlines now more than ever. For that reason, it makes you pose the question, ‘What are people thinking?’ Let's keep in mind, our thoughts are important to our everyday living. Whatever we meditate on, most often affects our movement through life. In other words, we shouldn’t allow negative thinking to take over our lives. Because continual negative thoughts can lead to negative behaviors. So, Lady V and I felt the need to address mental health awareness. We want to be a part of helping others that need someone to say, ‘I see you,’ ‘You matter to me,’ and ‘I want to help.’ Hence, we are discussing depression. Our thoughts affect our lives You see, our thoughts tie into how we view ourselves and our lives. Put it this way, our thoughts are directly linked to how we do life itself. Also, they influence our actions and how we treat others. Now, the Word of God makes it plain about transforming our minds and thinking or meditating on the right things. Moreover, right-thinking produces peace and the right actions. On the other hand, wrong thinking can lead to some tragic outcomes. And sadly, we've seen some of those tragic outcomes in the headlines. Such as celebrity suicides and shootings in schools, churches, workplaces, and nightclubs. Untreated clinical depression is a thief Negative thoughts steal peace from many families. And for some families, negative thinking also steals lives. In John 10:10 Jesus says, “A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!” Now, Jesus wants us to have peace and to enjoy our lives well lived. Again, wrong thoughts can hinder the process and steal the lives of many. A biblical example of how the thief can steal your thought life is in Genesis chapter 3. Most people have heard of the story of Adam and Eve. Well since the beginning of time the thief has been infiltrating man’s thought life. You might ask; ‘In what way?’ Look at it like this; when a person is convinced by others that he or she is ‘not enough’—that can lead to low self-worth. Now, when a person yearns to be excepted, he or she may find themselves doing something they shouldn’t. Know who you are and whose you are Ok, back to Genesis chapter 3. In the biblical account, Eve was speaking to the serpent in the Garden of Eden. She's listening to the serpent who is the thief and he plants these negative thoughts in her mind. And this confused her and it ultimately made her doubt God's words to her and Adam. So, you might say, ‘What does that have to do with us today?’ Again, negative thoughts, planted in Eve's mind were seeds of doubt. They were seeds of lack and mistrust. And these negative thoughts stole something from her. The thoughts made her question her identity, her value, and most importantly, God's word. Keep in mind, with the thief, there's always something missing. Likewise, today some of the same negative thoughts are plaguing the minds of people. Therefore causing, utter destruction and wreaking havoc on their lives and the lives of others. Lady V and I believe that Jesus wants every life to matter and for everyone to achieve greatness. And that's why we felt the need to shine a light on one’s thought life and mental health awareness. What is cyberbullying? According to stopbullying.gov cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices. For instance, it can take place on cellphones through text messages, and apps. It also happens online in forums, on social media, or through shared content a person views or participates in such as gaming. Cyberbullies hide behind their devices.Photo 1 by Sergey Zolkin on UnsplashPhoto 2 by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash In other words,

Give Your Cares To God – BTEp13
Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss 1 Peter 5:6-11 Amplified Bible Classic Edition. Of course, the Apostle Peter was writing to a group believers scatter abroad during that time. But we too can learn from his counsel and warnings. Now, our main focus for this episode is -- giving our cares to God -- found in verse seven, "Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully."

This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus. Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world. And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone. No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell. Also, it is important to understand that, Adam’s sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath. Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says, “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.” To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift. Scripture Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says, “8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Salvation Prayer Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By faith, I receive You, Jesus Christ, and your gift of grace. Come into my heart, into my life, and be my Lord and Savior.

LIFE’S FIELD – We Harvest What We Plant – BTEp12
Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss Galatians 6:7-10 New Living Translation. In this passage, the Apostle Paul denoted that we will always harvest what we plant. In other words, life will always present us with the temptation to make harmful or bad decisions. And if we choose to do so, we harvest the negative and/or the destructive harvest that follows. No doubt, most often than not, someone other than yourself gets caught the crossfire. Moreover, the same is true, when we do good, we harvest blessings in just the right time. Although Paul's letter was addressing the churches of Galatia -- it still very much applies to us, even now. Make no mistake, in life's field -- we harvest what we plant. Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read Galatians 6:7-10 New Living Translation? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, no worries, we've got you covered.

A Cry for Help – BTEp11
Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss Psalm 57:1-11 New International Version. In this passage we find David in great distress. He is crying out to God for help because King Saul was pursuing him. Why? because Saul was jealous and threatened by David, thus, he wanted to kill him. For that reason, David cried out for help that could only come from God. You see, David understood that God's wisdom and understanding is better than that of any other.

Biblical Talks In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss the passage John 1:1-18 [The Word Made Flesh]. In the New Living Translation it says, The Word Made Human. Either way, The Word Made Flesh refers to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Hence, from this passage we learn exactly who Jesus was and still is. Also, we learn that God sent John the Baptist to testify how Jesus was the true light that shines in the darkness. Moreover, we learn how God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read John 1:1-18 New Living Translation?

Ordered Steps – BTEp9
Biblical Talks One of the many things I've learned over the years is that my plans for my life are not always what's best for me in the long run. In particular, I refer to those moments as redirections. And when I take the redirection, I end up exactly where I'm supposed to be. As a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I believe God has ordered my steps and all I have to do is be obedient. Another thing I've learned is that if I'm not obedient, God has a way of getting me back on track. Glory to God! In fact, for those who don't believe in Jesus, He has a way of reaching them as well. And we see an example of this in Acts 9:3-23 New Living Translation. Here we see that Saul/Paul a Pharisee [Jewish Leader], finds that out on the road to Damascus. He was on his way to hunt down followers of Jesus Christ but his encounter with the Lord Jesus forever changed the direction of his life. God ordered his steps. Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read Acts 9:3-23 New Living Translation. If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, no worries, we've got you covered. Either way, come go with us in your bible or bible app. Also, go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post or subscribe and listen via your preferred podcast platform to follow along.
