What do you like to read? Some things are entertaining and some things are informative. The same question could be applied to things you watch. The things mentioned may be enjoyable, but there is another category. What have you encountered that is profound? These are things you can’t just plow through. Things that are truly profound resonate so deeply with you that you need to stop and ponder them. This makes for slow going, but it has the potential to transform you if you will fully engage with it.

Do you track your genealogy? Everyone has ancestors, but some people track their family tree back further than others. The more generations back the less likely you are to have known them personally or even know who they are. Yet their influence is still present in you if for no other reason that you wouldn’t exist without them. Do you have spiritual ancestors? You may think of me as the firstborn among many, but someone had to carry the light of truth down through the generations to you.

“So far the simplest teaching I have ever heard on dreams - and possibly some of the most profound - is coming from Charity Kayembe.”
– Shawn Bolz

Over the last few weeks I’ve had the privilege of teaching on dream interpretation with Shawn Bolz’ ministry. It was an honor to share with his students and they quickly became their very own dream experts. I’m so proud of them for putting the principles into practice and becoming their own master interpreters!

My Word teaches you to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. Do you see these as two separate commandments, or are they expressions of the same principle? In other words, is there a difference between the way you love God and the way you love your neighbor? There is additional guidance in the Bible to resolve this question. How can you claim to love a God you cannot see if you cannot love your brother whom you can see, who, by your doctrinal affirmation, is made in the image of God?
