life lessons from 1 samuel max lucado

It matters how you finish.A good start is crucial, but it s the end that matters. First Samuel is a book of good starts but bad finishes. Eli was a sterling religious leader, but by the end of his life, the ark of the covenant had been captured and his two rebellious sons killed. Samuel was a prophet of God who anointed kings, but his sons also turned away from the Lord. The most dramatic example is Saul. He seemed to be the perfect choice for Israel s first king. But success led to disobedience, and he slid from prominence to paranoia to suicide. These stories remind us that when it comes to our faith, we also need to finish well. As the apostle Paul wrote, we must run in such a way as to get the prize (1 Corinthians 9:24).The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God s Word. Each lesson includes an opening reflection, background information, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration questions, inspirational thoughts from Max, and a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting and for individual study.

They are like this because they can t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own ⠓ not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.⠝

Kniha konfrontuje úvahy o díle Franze Kafky od třinácti autorek a autorů z šesti zemí a tří kontinentů. Kafkovo dílo je zde zkoumáno z perspektivy různých filozofických oborů: ontologie, epistemologie, filozofie jazyka, etiky, politické filozofie, filozofie literatury a estetiky. Formální a metodologická rozmanitost příspěvků je stejně bohatá: zahrnuje detailní interpretace vybraných Kafkových textů, analýzy charakteristických rysů rozpoznatelných napříč Kafkovým dílem, srovnání Kafky s jinými autory, diskuse s vlivnými kafkovskými interprety či úvahy o problému kafkovských adaptací. Texty jsou tematicky rozděleny do tří kapitol: Struktura světa a hranice poznání, Společenská realita a prostor morálního hodnocení a Fikční světy a způsoby vyprávění. Kniha je v angličtině. The book is conceived as an opportunity for thirteen authors from six countries and three continents to confront the lessons they draw from Kafka s work. They approach it from the perspectives of several philosophical disciplines: ontology, epistemology, philosophy of language, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of literature, and aesthetics. The formal and methodological variety of their contributions is equally rich: it includes detailed interpretations of particular texts, analyses of characteristic features recognizable across Kafka s work, confrontations with other writers, disputes with influential Kafka interpreters, reopening the problem of Kafkian adaptations, etc. The articles are thematically divided into three chapters: The structure of the world and the limits of knowledge, Social reality and the space for moral assessment, and Fictional worlds and modes of narration.

A guided journey to discover your soul’s answers to life’s great questions. Human life is surrounded by mystery. At the centre of this mystery is the question: Why are we here? is there a purpose to our existence, a reason why we’re experiencing the beauty and pain of physical life? There is also the mystery of the universe itself. What is it and where did it come from? Religious and spiritual traditions have created complex cosmologies to answer these questions, but each tradition has a different answer and we are left with profound uncertainty about deeper reality. As psychologist Matthew McKay reveals, we can each discover our own answers to these questions, our own inner truth, by connecting with the wisdom of our souls. In this guided workbook, McKay offers a step-by-step process to unleash the unconscious and intuitive wisdom held in the awareness of your soul. He explains how to use “deep knowledge meditation” to access all of your soul’s accumulated knowledge, everything you have learned across all of your incarnations. Channeling his late son, Jordan, a discarnate soul who has lived hundreds of lives, McKay shares Jordan’s lessons on the mysteries of human existence, including what the divine or god is, the nature of a soul, the nature of matter and energy, the role of love in our lives, and the origin of the universe. Accompanying these channeled teachings are journal prompts from Jordan, to be used with deep knowledge meditation, to help you listen to your heart and shine a light on your own deepest wisdom and soul knowledge. Guiding you on a journey of self-discovery, this book offers the opportunity to find your soul’s truth about your life’s purpose and the nature of physical reality.

He describes the disconnect between academic theory and market practice, in particular the reality and persistence of skill - the continuing ability of the best practitioners to beat the market. But he also underscores the prevalence of uncertainty and human fallibility, showing how a successful investment management business must steer a path which recognises both the persistence of skill and the pitfalls of cognitive bias, human fallibility and hubris.
