Freud vs. Adler: Two Paths, Two Outcomes.
Two distinct approaches to human suffering mark the history of psychology—those of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler. Both men began as colleagues in the early psychoanalytic movement, yet their philosophies diverged sharply, and their legacies continue to shape our understanding of healing today. Freud: Endless Analysis and Dependence. Sigmund Freud is often referred to as…

P21: Fundamentally off track
There is a book called Animal Farm written by George Orwell in 1945. It is considered a great book to study, especially when examining government. It is almost regarded as a prophecy. Essentially, the book revolves around animals on a farm that feel oppressed by the farmer. When the farmer dies, they establish a government…

P20: Biblical-Based Parenting?
As mentioned in my previous post, In The Beginning, (And if you have not read my previous post God’s Children I would recommend reading it first, as this is a continuation.) God declared that humans are to rule over animals and that there is something that He gave humans that animals do not have. Animals…

P19: God’s Children
In the controversial movie, The Shack, God the Father was represented mainly as a grandmother. It was explained in the film that God was depicted as a grandmother because the main character’s own father did not embody God’s character, and the writers wanted God to appear in a form that closely represented God from the…

P18: In The Beginning
The one question that every human faces at some point is “Why are we here?” Religion in general tries to answer that. Leaving it unanswered is typically not possible; eventually, we come to wrestle with it. Atheists usually become a little unnerved and drop the question. For others, they oftentimes have been given a generic…

A.G.
This post will be different from what I have been posting. It’s more about something I have noticed lately, other than something directly related to covenant living. Last year, there was a news story about a girl who took her life based on an A.I. chatbot. Sad as that is, I have also read snippets…

P17: Thankful Heart
Petra recorded a song called “Thankful Heart” in the late 1980s. You can find the song here. It’s a great reminder of how Christ gives you a thankful heart when you are in a covenant relationship with Him. A thankful heart is a sign of the Holy Spirit in your life, and we are told…

P16: LEGOs
If you have ever put together LEGO® sets, you typically have extra pieces when you finish the instructions. It’s not that you missed something (sometimes, but not if you paid good attention) because they always have some extras thrown in. I’m unsure if the reason is a machine error or deliberate, but there are always…

P15: Foundational Living
We were watching a Christian toddler show (as Judah is 2, almost 3 now), and they had an extended version of the “The Fruit of the Spirit is Not a Coconut” kids’ song playing with a puppet and a lot of singing and dancing. That got me thinking, so I reread Galatians 5. Galatians 5…

P14: Law, Rule, or Boundary?
At first glance, laws, rules, and boundaries may seem interchangeable or synonymous, as they all describe a limit and the consequences if that limit is exceeded. However, upon closer examination, there are differences between the three. I stumbled upon this realization while exploring some interesting trains of thought and did not intend to write about…
