Default What can be done to help people change? - 02-25-2010, 11:18 AM

Everyone talks about achieving it, but most people have plenty of excuses as to why they can’t, won’t, or don’t want to change their current status. The most common excuse people make for not trying to have a healthy lifestyle is “a lack of time.” Have you ever said to yourself, “Oh, I’m tired, I don’t have time to exercise?” or “I don’t feel like cooking dinner tonight; let’s just get some fast food.

Yes Dorothy, excuses are real and they are contagious.
Time and health always seem to be at odds with each other. We have time to work, time to commute, time for our business associates, but very little time to spend on ourselves, people we love, or even random people who deserve our attention.

I couldn't agree to you more on this, people tend to make different excuses for them not being able to exercise properly and the most common among them is the lack of time. This is an excuse that has kept people from sparing some time for their own body. I believe that a healthy mind would be the resultant product of an healthy body. A healthy body is of the utmost importance to excel in your ventures. If I don't have the time I would prefer to wake up early. A little jogging and stretching would also do some great benefits.

Hello friends

I was given this book by a friend to read. Prior to reading it, I had never heard of Jay Adams or read any of his books. I had seen his name one time mentioned in another book I was reading on preaching, but other than that I was unfamiliar.
This is a good book. It's a quick read at 200 pages and you'll find yourself making good progress thorough it pretty easily.
The book is based off of 2 Timothy 3:14-17 where Adams sees the progression that Paul uses in that passage as the basic flow we should use in counseling folks. Before I get to that, this book is as much as defense of actually USING the Bible in counseling as it is a handbook on the process to use when using the Bible in counseling. Adams is unapologetic in the fact that in too many counseling circles the Bible has been abandoned altogether in favor of "newer" psychological methods etc.

Thanks for all friends

Can people change? We wonder. In what ways and how fast and how much can a person change? What about those who vow to change only when caught, become penitent at the moment of truth--a sort of death-bed conversion with a second chance? How many faults can we tolerate, knowing that we all have our share?

And don't we often flinch at the wrong flaws, shunning leaders who found honorable help for honorable problems such as depression, yet accepting all manner of lies, pretending a little dishonesty doesn't matter?

Character is not only a political issue, it is a life issue, too. Our trust is betrayed, our hearts broken, by changes we never prepared for and sameness where we hoped for difference.

We all blunder; who can "cast the first stone"? No one is perfect, yet, to paraphrase Orwell, some are more perfect than others. Which mistakes are actually such deep manifestations of one's basic being that we cannot reasonably trust for the future? Once a thief, always a thief?

Faith in human transformation is a phenomenon basic to our culture. We buy self-help books believing we can reverse ourselves from meek to assertive, depressed to joyful. We adopt abused children confident that we can erase these painful experiences from their psyches. We join Alcoholics Anonymous with the hope that we can become sober citizens. And sometimes it works. I could not have been a therapist if I did not share in this vision of possibilities.
