God cares for the fatherless. He sees them. He knows them. He wants them to know who they are, created in His image to be loved and accepted, not abandoned. #FathersDay #insteadofshamehonor https://t.co/qqlgFa7t0M

@JD_Wininger Thanks JD. So important

@life_exchanged #healthyfaith Not ignoring this question, but gotta run! I like doing this live WAY MORE than trying to sift through the thread afterward. I just forget.... Thank you! Great convo.

@life_exchanged #healthyfaith If we hear and don't practice, it's just head knowledge. We don't see how it truly works well and leads to flourishing life. With results from use, we believe all the more strongly in God's Word and put more of it into practice. Positive reinforcement.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@life_exchanged #healthyfaith It's my rock, my foundation, my hope, my identity, my balance, my standard for love, my go-to guide for thoughts and actions. It's how I know God. If we don't know what the Word says, we don't know who God is or what He expects.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@RachaelColby7 #healthyfaith agreed Rachael, the old is gone and we are made new. But in practical terms, it doesn't just happen. It is Truth but we need to sink in to that identity by learning the Word and developing a personal relationship with Jesus. We often need a good guide/mentor.

@CSLCHSnMore #healthyfaith I was raised in the church learning Bible stories. That doesn't mean I understood their significance - only to model that behavior. I dug deep while attending a Christian middle school, but it focused on hell insurance. Adult study made it real and personal.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@life_exchanged #healthyfaith A5 - I agree with the previous responses. What goes in to our hearts will come out under pressure. We have to steep ourselves in the Word and our relationship with Jesus so we become more like Him. Always humble. Always repenting.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@heyjustmaga @life_exchanged Great example! Yes! Anger over injustice is actually encouraged, even demanded, by God. #healthyfaith

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@brad_cavendish @life_exchanged Perhaps what I've been referring to as anger so far is righteous indignation. Yes, anger usually leads to trouble, but sometimes one needs to emphasize the seriousness of a sin or situation by expressing anger. Is this righteous indignation? #healthyfaith

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@bassmanbrian @life_exchanged Brian, it seems like you're referring to being angry with a person. Would your response change if you were angry with a situation or some sin in a person's life? Not angry at the person. #healthyfaith

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@life_exchanged #healthyfaith Absolutely. Controlled, purposeful, righteous anger can draw needed attention and importance to a problem/sin. Sometimes you can't tiptoe and get the job done. Attack the problem not the person.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@bassmanbrian @CSLCHSnMore Yes, anger eats us up.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@life_exchanged #healthyfaith I do believe there are times for anger - righteous anger that is controlled and purposeful. Sometimes the only way to make people understand the seriousness of a problem and to get their attention is to become angry.

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

@beautifuljoy90 @life_exchanged Yes! More time to listen to the Holy Spirit and follow guidance rather than rushing forward with our own words. #healthyfaith

[Cathy Chung @Cathy_Chung]

#healthyfaith Question 1: We'd understand one another better. We'd listen to their story and perhaps ask questions to get to the reason for their story. In short, relationships would be better.
