Media Influences on Society is an Exploration of Moral Well-Being
Media Influences on Society is an interdisciplinary exploration of Psychology, Spirituality, and Emotional Well-Being Our world is brimming with complexity; this blog post invites you to explore an interdisciplinary approach that blends psychology, spirituality, and media, helping you curate a personalized toolkit for emotional and moral well-being. I find that the divergent realms of psychology, spirituality, and media each offer valuable but isolated insights into human behavior and emotional well-being. This fragmentation can be deeply problematic, creating a disjointed landscape that contributes to societal discord, emotional distress, and ethical confusion. The solution lies in an interdisciplinary approach that merges the wisdom from all three domains. By integrating psychological theories with spiritual insights and honest media, we can offer a more cohesive and comprehensive help for individuals navigating life's complexities. This unified perspective can potentially enhance individual well-being and, by extension, create a more balanced and ethically grounded society.

Responsibility As A Pastor:
My Responsibility As A Pastor: A Commitment to Truth and Balanced Interpretation As a pastor, I consider it not only an honor but also a great responsibility to stand before you each week and delve into the Word of God. The pulpit isn't just a stage from which to deliver spiritual guidance; it's an educational platform where we explore Biblical texts together. My role goes beyond merely citing scriptures. I aim to offer a balanced, nuanced understanding of the Bible that upholds its integrity while making the lessons accessible and relevant to each one of you.
GRACE: JOHN WESLEY’S UNDERSTANDING
This should help us understand salvation is not earned. Grace is not something we control. Rather, grace is given to bring us into the fullness of salvation.
A Brief Look at 1 Samuel 31: Death of a Terrible King
Saul was King for forty years. During that time he could not gain land that God had already promised the people. He didn’t drive away the enemies. In fact, at his death he is afraid of them. Saul’s kingdom gained more Philistines than they expelled. This shows he hurt the nation more than helped. And he died at the same place where he started. Saul began as a man with the Spirit of God on him. God gave him a new heart. At the end of his life, he asked the one person sworn to protect him to kill him, because he wants to look good. What will be said of you and me when we die? Can it be said that you attracted more of God’s enemies than you ran away?
Please don’t say: I AM A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE.
It is theologically impossible to be both a sinner and to be saved. What are we saved from? We are saved from sin and the punishment for sin. If they…

SAVED by GRACE: Not a Sinner Saved by Grace
After a meal you wash the dishes. Why do you wash the dishes? Because they are dirty dishes. You wash the dishes in dishwater and soap. Afterward are the dishes clean or dirty? Do you say, “My spoon is a dirty spoon washed by Dawn”? No, that doesn’t make sense. If we wash it, it is no longer dirty. Then why do people say, “I am a sinner (dirty) saved (washed in Christ’s blood) by grace?

Classical Explanation of Salvation
In these verses, Paul shifts our thinking from what Jesus did in relation to God to what Jesus did in relation to us. He shows us that, while Jesus accomplished something for us in the past, He continues working for us in the present.
