God created us as complex living beings.  We, as human beings are made up of a “system” that is spirit, mind, emotions and body (spirit, soul and body). The soul is made up of the entire mind and the emotions. This is a system because all four of these parts work together synergistically to function as one whole.  If all of the parts of the system are healthy then the entire system can work together in wholeness.

Dear Dave,

I’m 31, single, and I have two college degrees. I have no money to speak of, having just come through a rough patch of unemployment, but I recently landed a job that will pay me $20,000 to start. There’s the added possibility of an increase to $40,000 in the first year. I’m thinking about buying a house, but I’ve also got $50,000 in student loan debt. The good news is that I have no other debt. What are your thoughts on buying a home in this situation?

Janet Roper is into miracles these days, which may not be a difficulty since she’s surrounded by angels—the earthly variety.  Twenty-six special students comprised the student body the past year at a unique school for those with learning differences. 

“Send me a sign an idiot wouldn’t miss.” That’s one of Roper’s favorite prayers as Executive Director of Achievers’ Center for Education, named ACE for short—symbolic too, since the school helps students gain a needed advantage. Signs and wonders are sometimes on the short list of needs though.

In the Bible, Nehemiah was inspired by God to rebuild the ruined city of Jerusalem. Known as a man of action and prayer, Nehemiah successfully reclaimed the land for the Lord. 

Last year a local group followed in the footsteps of their Biblical hero. Members of The Nehemiah Initiative were led by God to reclaim and rebuild an area on San Antonio’s Westside through prayer and action.

A steering committee of 6 members of a Southside pastors and leaders fellowship led by Berta and Rune Brannstrom was inspired by the effectiveness of prayer on the crime rate in Newark, N.J. 

Men of Light Conference is set for June 19th

Followers of Christ were never supposed to fit comfortably in this world. But alluring distractions abound, and kingdom people find themselves compromised, or confused, in need of reminders about their destination. Walk in the light by having fellowship with one another says 1 John 1:7. Many great churches in San Antonio offer such opportunity, and bringing the body of Christ together can yield a potent mix of inspiration.
