Rising above Societal Norms

21/1/2021

Comments

 
​Too often, we allow society to dictate our behaviour. 
​​Societal norms are unwritten rules about how to behave in various social and cultural groups; it also determines what is good, right, fair and just. 
​It is time we ask ourselves,
"Do my actions reflect what society requires or what God desires?"
​Take a moment to consider whether you fall on the side of embracing societal norms or embracing the word of God and allowing the word to cultivate a spiritual faith within you.
​This table shows some contrasting actions that society dictates and what God desires.
 Society
  • Be aggressive and take what you must by force.              
  • Living for earthly concerns
  • Fulfilling destiny
  • Love yourself more than those around you                           
  • ​Love your neighbour as yourself
  • Choose who is worth loving and forgiving. 
God (Spiritual Faith)
  • Be gentle and kind
  • Allows the holy spirit to give spiritual light and affection
  • Walks in the light
  • Fulfilling destiny
  • Love your neighbour as yourself
  • Love everyone, forgive everyone 

​     
​Society tells us a few things such as:
​×Do what you want as long as it makes you happy
×If it feels good then do it.

​Don't get me wrong, these are good statements they just need to be modified.
  • Do what God instructs you to do; it will make you happy.
  • If it feels good and it is aligned with the word of God, then do it.
​Are you ready for some harsh truth?

Facing our Bullies

8/1/2021

Comments

 
Bullying is a topic that has plagued our society for years. How does one face their bullies? 
Bullying can be viewed as an on-going and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power, or perceived power over one or more persons who feel unable to stop it from happening.
Picture
Of course, as human beings, our new norm is to research it on Google. "Hey Google, how do we deal with bullies?"
The usual answers range from being confident, staying in groups, avoiding the bully, telling an adult or person with authority, standing up for yourself and ignoring the bully, amongst other strategies and techniques. While I mostly agree on these tactics, the best one, to me, is prayer.
