INSPIRING STORY OF ONE WOMAN PARENT REVIVAL IN SCHOOLS

Today, hear the extremely inspiring story of Marta Silva’s one woman revival in schools by reaching out to parents. With nothing more than the mandate from God, Marta went to schools in her area (northeastern US), reached out to parents, held a meeting, told them the problems, and inspired them to an active revival.  It is an inspiring story! One woman caused a parent revival that addressed the problems of their children in schools.

I met Marta at Calvary Pentecostal Campground one summer on what for me what a worship retreat and reconnoiter. Marta was the bright spot, so full of energy and faith. She told me what she was doing, just as a woman and a mother — but full of faith and Spirit. She was going to various school surroundings, door to door, asking parents to a meeting, sometimes at the school depending upon the administration, telling parents the problems, and getting revival and mobilization for reform.

Hear her story. Be patient with the sound. Then, go and do thou likewise!

Tell What is True by Using Math

This episode, on How to tell what is true, using math — and why it is a civic responsibility to do so — is a rerun.  First aired in June 2021. It is part of our pandemic packet. Would you like more on this? It is unimaginable to me that some people are still pushing the narrative… obviously fake narrative.

Would you go to a doctor who couldn’t pass Biology 101? Would you go to a doctor who had killed 40% of his patients? You would have known had this been posed toyou in 1800 in a little village. But now. Apparently, many do. Because they are mesmerized by TV reports.

Let’s do a little thinking. Let’s reason together, shall we? Teach your children.

Even the expert can be fooled. So, what I am saying is to learn and teach independent real thinking. BTW, it goes along with faith. No one smart, well-meaning urges blind faith. Jesus didn’t. Jesus healed people. God even said at one point: try me. (That was Malachi, btw.) Reasoning and faith go together. For now:  focusing on how to tell what is true.. by reasoning.

Soon, we will be talking once again about faith, healing, and miracles. We believe in them.

 

How to Tell What is True

Brief course in how to tell what is true and what is not. And how to teach that to your children.

This is the episode to maybe start with on how to tell what is true, but we have several, and they keep coming.

Maybe I got an extra dose because my mother was an educator and my father was a lawyer. They sat with me to dissected television ads. They guided be about TV ads. They kept on, talking to me about vacuum cleaner salesmen when I was a young married and about financial product salesmen when I was in grad school. Learn. Now.

How to Build Confidence in the Student with LDs

Great topic for back to school! Confidence for overcoming school challenges is a vital issue for the student who has some sort of learning problem. First, one must start with the right identity or self concept. Then one must say, enunciate positive confessions (both good self-talk and appropriate words in social context.) This is fundamental. Almost always, the process of diagnosis and the school situation gives the bright student the idea that he or she is stupid. From that perspective, they do not find the solutions for overcoming that they need. Faith, here, finds the grace available. The first — and last word — for helping the student with LD/learning problems.
