What is a tool: a device that adds in accomplishing a task.  Or something used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation such as a scholars books are his tools. Humans are the only creature who uses tools to create tools. Its important to have the right tools for the job.   But how do you know the right tools to have? How do we develop new tools? What tools can we use to help us grow? Do the old tools you have serve you anymore? Which tools do you need to maintain, and which ones can you get rid of? What tools has God given you?  Are you willing to be the tool in Gods Hand?

Ep 127: Confusing Bible Verses

Video
Men’s Alliance

This week Chris "Knuckles" Luck rejoins the show to discuss confusing bible verses. Listen to Knuckles previous podcast episode War Stories 2: Hells Angels. Greg Koukl says "Never read a bible verse. Instead always read a paragraph at least". The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as: biography, poetry, letters, and history. We have to avoid taking verses out of context from the Bible and applying verses to our life if they were written for others. Always continue to learn more about the context of the verses, we do this by talking with other trusted Christians and reading commentaries such as the ones listed below.

Mission Briefing 42: Saving Relationships, Not Ending Them - Not All "Counselors" Give Good Advice

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose discusses the significance of finding a good counselor and the importance of restoring relationships rather than ending them. He shares his experiences with both giving and receiving counseling and the potential harm caused by a bad counselor who advised him to leave his marriage based on personal happiness rather than what is right. Goose emphasizes the importance of communication and conflict resolution skills in repairing relationships and warns against counselors who encourage ending relationships or labeling them as toxic. He suggests that such counselors may be motivated by popularity and their advice could contradict Christian teachings. All in all, Goose encourages individuals to seek counseling from someone who will help them see that relationship problems are temporary and provide tools to fix them.
