Building Builders!: Random Building Thoughts

-------------- RAISE IT! --------------

-------------- HUMOR --------------

(Hat tip to Bro. Henley James‎!)

-------------- CHARACTER --------------

The true test of people's character

is how they behave when they believe

they will never be held to account

for anything they do or don't do.

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------

A Brother approaches you and asks you to explain to him the difference between soul and spirit. You ask him why?

He thanks you for your interest and refers to scripture:

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.

And backs this with:

"Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7

Further tempering these with:

"Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Adding, "I'd like to know your best thoughts on their differences and would like you to focus upon what distinguishes one from the other."

Fully realizing that the two words are often used synonymous, you avoid this direction and issue IN TOTAL and endeavor to share your best thoughts on his actual question and not what you might share that would in any way dismiss his question.

What insights about his interest do you share with him, fully honoring his request without forcing him toward what you would do, and actually answering his question?

Have fun!

-------------- PEACE --------------

What Building Blocks

do you consistently put into place

on a Daily Basis

to Assure your Soul's Peace?

-------------- AN EDUCATION --------------

Yup.

And a truly educated person

is the first to add,

"I want to know!"

when it truly matters.

-------------- ONE OR THE OTHER --------------

"I sincerely cannot think of a better guaranteed way
of starting a robust conversation,
than by utilizing a subtle logical fallacy or two.
My only thought is if people are doing this
because they are great conversationalists,
or if they are truly unaware of the rhetorical device.
I cross my fingers for the former,
but strongly suspect the latter."
-- Bro. Earnest Lee

-------------- RUFFIAN --------------
