“I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light. As a miracle worker, I think he would, by the power of God's teachings, the perseverance and the truth, influence in a modern sense whoever is put into office how to best serve his fellow men. One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious.” ThinkingMenMayLightAsksJesusForeverInfluenceTeachingModernOfficeMessagesPerfectionVoteMiracleFellowsWorkersPerseveranceGods WillApathyFellow ManMomentumSkepticPower Of GodDisinterestMiracle Worker Author:Criss Jami

“Two questions help us see why we are unlikely to get what we want by using punishment... The first question is: What do I want this person to do that's different from what he or she is currently doing? If we ask only this first question, punishment may seem effective because the threat or exercise of punitive force may well influence the person's behavior. However, with the second question, it becomes evident that punishment isn't likely to work: What do I want this person's reasons to be for doing what I'm asking?” IfsWantFirstsWellsMayPersonsTwoDifferentReasonHelpingSeemsAsksForceInfluenceExerciseBehaviorAskingThreatPunishmentEvidentUnlikely Author:Marshall B.
