Only Fools follow Fads



Only fools follow fads... 
Yesterday a young person (13 years old) in our neighborhood stopped by our drive way discussing our back yard dog and went on talking about the pressure he has in the public school system which is mainly Black.  He does not want to follow fads;" but the ' gang culture " is in full force and lashes it at anyone dares to not fall in line with the program...    Yet this seems to be the norm in most of the schools systems in the U.S. especially those with a predominate black or Latino (and now the new boy on the block - Islamic) population. 

***  {Note: The  Blogger does have any personal views against any party mentioned in this article - this is only the truth as it exist - anything  else is purely coincidental...  Period! }

He had his bike destroyed - been attacked and bulled by the Gang leaders..  
 Most all because this culture is driven by the " Keep up with the Jones " most of which is based 
upon system of fads and mass appeal to follow many so called mainly sports or borderline Black entertainment types..  i.e.  Fad fever...

Mainly these groups operate outside the society norm and do nothing except bring up evil and crime to the mainly youth who fall pry to this system...   Fads corral people to follow some predominate  none produce ways and tend to lead to a life of non work, crime and desperation for it members..

I advised this young man to avoid fads and stay out of Gangs...  Recommended that he seek the Truth and find good moral standards in the Bible (the source of Truth)  a Christian Church... 
 Avoid the world fads - Because only fools follow fads....


If one accepts the Truth of God, then learns how to control their mind (Soul)  they can over come any adversity thing in life -  through Faith by following the moral standards of Christ as seen in the Bible... 
 Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness - then other things will be given to you!   Matt 6:33 


Matthew 12:35, "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things."
MATTHEW 12:32-45

31-32 It is one thing for you to speak ill of the Son of Man. People will be forgiven for every sin they commit and blasphemy they utter. But those who call the work of God the work of Satan utterly remove themselves from God, and those who blaspheme God’s Spirit will not be forgiven, neither in this world nor in the world to come.
33 Good trees produce good fruits; bad trees produce bad fruits. You can always tell a tree by its fruits. 34 You children of snakes, you who are evil—how could you possibly say anything good? For the mouth simply shapes the heart’s impulses into words. 35 And so the good man (who is filled with goodness) speaks good words, while the evil man (who is filled with evil) speaks evil words. 36 I tell you this: on the day of judgment, people will be called to account for every careless word they have ever said. 37 The righteous will be acquitted by their own words, and you evildoers will be condemned by your own words.
Scribes and Pharisees: 38 Teacher, we want to see some miraculous sign from You.
Jesus: 39 You wicked and promiscuous generation—you are looking for signs, are you? The only sign you will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, as the Son of Man will spend three days and three nights in the belly of the earth. 41 One day, the people of Nineveh will rise up in judgment and will condemn your present generation—for the Ninevites turned from sin to God when they heard Jonah preach, and now One far greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will also stand in judgment and condemn this generation—for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom. And today One greater and wiser than Solomon is among you.
43 Let Me tell you what will happen to this wicked generation: When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it rattles around through deserts and other dry places looking for a place to rest—but it does not find anywhere to rest. 44 So the spirit says, “I will return to the house I left.” And it returns to find that house unoccupied, tidy, swept, and sparkling clean. 45 Well, then not only does one spirit set up shop in that sparkling house, but it brings seven even more wicked spirits along.  And the poor man—the house—is worse off than he was before. This evil generation will suffer a similar fate.

===================
Our spirit is definitely a part of our heart,
but as seen in (1 Peter 3:4), it is only a part. Sin, iniquity, unbelief, etc., come from the heart but not the born-again spirit.
 (Hebrews 4:12) suggests that spirit and soul are both part of the heart; hence, 
the scriptures admonish us to believe with all our heart (Acts 8:37),
 have singleness of heart (Col. 3:22),
 and tell us our hearts can have two minds or ways of thinking (Jas. 4:8).

Even Christians still struggle with things like pride and foolishness which Jesus said came out of our heart. It's certain that our born again spirit is not the source of these sins.
 The heart encompasses more than our spirit.

The English word "soul" comes from the Greek word "psuche," translated "heart, life, mind, and soul."
 The mind is the principle and leading part of the soul, followed by the will and emotions.
We could also describe the soul as being the hidden part of all existing beings or what most people would call the personality.
The soul is the center of the feelings and emotions, appetites and desires, as well as sense perception and consciousness.

The soul may also speak of the totality of a person - his total being or self, a person, and the hidden man or inward man. The soul and the body do not get born again.
 It is the spirit of man that becomes totally new at salvation.

Therefore, although every believer receives the same miraculous spiritual rebirth, the visible results of that inward change will vary from person to person according to how much he renews his mind.
The term "heart" can include all of the inner man - spirit, soul, or any portion thereof.
The peace of God will keep your heart at rest in Christ Jesus.

Let Him guide your  heart.    It is your choice ....
