It is possibly occultic. It seems innocent, but it can open a door to Satan in your life. I know this from personal experience. Seek God for peace, not things of this world.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["god","peace","spirituality","yoga"],"id":2096,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"It's like the commercial, 'Once you pop you can't stop.'  Once you pop a pill, you can't stop.  They have you hooked and they know it.  Like a drug dealer, they are so happy they have won another loyal customer.  Not loyal because you want to be, but loyal because your body is now completely dependent on them and their legal prescription 'drugs.'.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["doctors","pills","prescriptions","psychology"],"id":37243,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"The first verse that comes to mind that refutes all of Calvin’s points is “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Whoever means whoever. Not just some, not just the elect; that means that anyone who wants to come to God and repent may do so. There is not a certain group that is predestined for hell and they can't do anything about it. How then would God be just? Knowing God’s nature, and that he IS love, I simply cannot believe that and believe it to be a completely false teaching.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["after-life","false-teachings","fate","god","heaven","hell","john-calvin","lies","life","love","predestination","predetermined"],"id":51359,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"Often times, the world looks at Christians and they are quick to criticize the ways we fall short. That is not God’s fault. That is each Christian’s fault, for not cultivating the fruit of the Spirit in their own soul. As Christians we all have a responsibility to ensure that we are always growing in our Christian walk, and that we are walking 'worthy of our calling,' as Paul says.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["christians","fruit","god","goodness","holy","judgement","love","world","worthy"],"id":59253,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"Why would anyone pay for writing anymore when there's Facebook and why would anyone pay for music anymore when there's YouTube.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["facebook","music","writers","youtube"],"id":66962,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"Satan is behind the theory of evolution. Satan hates God and us.  Satan is the father of all lies. So he wants nothing more than to make every human being alive believe lies about God, ourselves and how and why we exist.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["charles-dawkins","creation","darwin","evolution","god","jesus","lies","love","meaning","purpose","reason-for-existence","satan","truth"],"id":90554,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"Money almost always ends up disappointing.  Buying things to give lasing satisfaction is an illusion. Money can't buy happiness. The people with the most money are often times the MOST miserable people.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["happiness","joy","money","possessions","rich-people"],"id":92209,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"To all you parents out there, don't make your little girls, or little boys, so thirsty for love that they will want to drink water that will poison them.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["children","god","love","parenting"],"id":110188,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"},{"text":"Most of us don't fear that we are not enough; what most of us really fear is our own greatness. Most of us have a fear of success. Why? Because we don't think that we deserve to be successful in anything. This is why people recklessly spend their money or don't work as hard as they could or do things that they know are wrong. They are hindering their own success on purpose, because they don't think they deserve it. They cut their own legs out from underneath them on purpose. They are self-sabotaging.","author":"Lisa Bedrick","tags":["belief","faith","fear","god","holy-spirit","hope","jesus","joy","money","purpose","self-fulfilling-prophecy","self-sabotage","spending","success"],"id":122010,"author_id":"Lisa+Bedrick"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":42,"pages":5,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
