• A few things I’ve realized lately….

  - Christians are saved in the spirit, as in God has saved our soul for salvation, but we must continue to be saved emotionally. I didn’t realize the reality of it until I started to see lot of Christians, very God loving and God fearing ones not truly holding on to the truths in the Bible most likely because a lot of their emotional areas were really hurt, therefore they mixed their hurt and the way they view the world with what they think true theology is. I think that’s why God wants us to continually renew our minds in His words and to be transformed to His likeness (no longer conformed to the way the world views things).

  - I also realized that another way to teach new things to other ppl is to show them. I guess it’s not a brand new way of teaching, but I’ve always thought that ppl will be able to learn well if I just give them detailed instructions, or just show them once. But lately I’ve seen examples of times where when I lead a person to show them exactly how to do it, where they get to do it hands on, they quickly get a hang of it and is able to do it independently than if I just gave instructions. Giving a bit of my time to demonstrate and to coach turns out to be better time spent than giving tons of instructions that lead to nowhere. 

  - Lastly, I realized that ppl take time to learn. Maybe I just have a tendency to want to see results quickly that I tend to give a lot of speeches, nagging remarks, and hoping ppl will get it quickly and learn. But things with growth take time and ppl need time to learn. And I also realize that if I really want that person to learn, I have to learn to be a patient coach, to be able to coach that person to follow the right direction, needing my constant attention in their growth process. 

   

  Alright, a little jumbled…. Need to work on my writing skills!
