Bible Knowledge that will Propel you into the Four-Percent-

 All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work- 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 NASB  According to a 2024 study done by Arizona Christian University only four out every hundred people can think like a Christian.  Yikes. This depressing statistic…

Where Our Ignorance Lies

As we take in more information every single day, I've realized something that I'm doing wrong. In recognizing that I have more learning to do, maybe you do too. Trust me on this one, let me tell you about it:

No matter where you are in the world, a lot has happened this week and from what I can see, we have a lot to talk about. That very idea itself is actually what I want to address today: I have so much to talk about and I actually can talk about it at all. The question is, how do I do so productively?

I want to address this using two stories that maybe you’ve heard this before, so let me know if…

Actions Americans can take post-election

The Supreme Court has had eight months to exercise their right to advise and consent in regards to President Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court seat. They have failed to exercise this right in an effort to obstruct his choice, and they have waived their right by causing an excessive delay. Here is a petition to have Obama make his Supreme Court pick before leaving office:

This one is less likely, but we lose nothing by trying. The Electoral College was instated by the Founding Fathers to insure that someone who does not have the qualifications does not hold the office of President, arguably a situation we have happening right now. Here is a petition to have the electors that are not bound by their states change their decision to reflect the popular vote when they meet in December: https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19?recruiter=619135&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

More information on how this process works can be found here: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/12897066

If you want to donate or volunteer to organizations that work to protect the people who are most at risk with Trump in office, here is a list of organizations to consider. You can also look into finding local organizations that need your help: http://jezebel.com/a-list-of-pro-women-pro-immigrant-pro-earth-anti-big-1788752078

This is not by any means an exhaustive list of actions you can take, but it is a start. Please don’t ever feel you are helpless or that you can’t do anything. You matter. Your votes matter. Your actions matter. And no matter how difficult things feel right now, you are not alone.

Something I see people do all too often is have a valid argument but refuse to articulate it. Instead, when another individual has a differing opinion, they jump on them, accusing them of idiocy and lack of moral character. Their argument turns into little more than ad hominem attacks.

By vocalizing their point rationally and civilly, a vast majority of the people they have alienated would actually agree with them. Many say that they do not need the support of people that can’t understand what they fight for, but my retort is that the more supporters you have, the stronger your case. You don’t need to pander to any group; stay true to your goals and convince others that what you’re doing is right. Leave the petty attacks for the sandbox; we’re adults and we need to start using reason instead of abuse to get our point across.

If people don’t listen, then that’s fine, too. Let them go and don’t start verbally abusing them for not agreeing with you. This Earth houses over seven billion people. You will not be able to convince everyone of your opinion.

In addition, do not think that people all throughout the world have the same opportunities or intelligence as you do. They may have never heard of what you’re fighting for, or they might not understand it the way you do. Don’t yell at them. Don’t start yelling at anyone for their ignorance. Instead, educate them. Tell them what you’re fighting for rather than throw scathing remarks about their “blindness.” Fighting ignorance with hatred is disgusting and needs to stop.

So, enough with the attacks and bring on the arguments. Otherwise, the only thing you’re doing is making the rift between yourself and the rest of the world wider.

Audio through HDMI

Did you know that HDMI sends both video and audio? If you have a monitor, TV, or projector supporting HDMI, it's safe to say it will typically come with internal speakers, or at the very least an aux output for headphones and speakers. Just be sure to connect your source with an HDMI cable :P
