RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms
The structure in our society is dumbing us down, and i know many can attest to the fact that our education system and the ways of this culture in the US are slowly evolving for the worse, so why even bother…but i cannot stress enough the importance of educating yourself at least. It doesn’t mean you have to go get a degree, but damn. WAKE UP.
You can always count on Sir Ken Robinson to bring some truth.

“We find that there is more for us; there is victory, perfect cleansing, sweeter communion and deeper spirituality, but a sin principle within which defeats and robs.
We come to see our inability to fill ourselves with the Holy Spirit or to crucify the flesh with its lusts; and we, by faith, come to the Holy Spirit to let Him do for us what we could not do; and, as by faith, we turn ourselves over to Him, He fills us.
Here is the only part of sanctification that we can do; see Romans 6:11-19, a reckoning or counting and a yielding. The first is active; the second is passive; a positive faith, and a surrendered faith for His working.
”
Systematic Theology, Soteriology E.C. Bragg
“ Faith is not the absence of doubt; it’s the presence of belief. I may not always feel that I have great faith. But I can always obey, laying my hands on someone and praying. It’s a mistake for me to ever examine my faith. I seldom find it. It’s better for me to obey quickly. After it’s over I can look back and see that my obedience came from faith. ”
Bill Johnson When Heaven Invades Earth
“I do not exist,” we faithfully insist
sailing in our separate ships,
and in each tiny caravel -
tiring of trying, there’s a necessary dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper season sheds its shell
such distance from our friends,
like a scratch across a lens,
made everything look wrong from anywhere we stood
and our paper blew away before we’d left the bay
so half-blind we wrote these songs on sheets of salty wood
you caught me making eyes at the other boatmen’s wives
and heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters
I’d set my course for land,
but you well understand
it takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters
the propeller’s spinning blades held acquaintance with the waves
as there’s mistakes I’ve made no rowing could outrun
the cloth low on the mast like to say Ive got no past
but I’m nonetheless the librarian and secretary’s son
with tarnish on my brass and mildew on my glass
I’d never want someone so crass as to want someone like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I assure you, it was not what it expected it to be!
I still taste its kiss, that dull hook in my lip
is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel
to an anchor-ever-dropped-seasick-yet-still-docked captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong. we keep our confessions long and when we pray we keep it short
I drank a thimbleful of fire and I’m not ever going back
Oh, my G-d!
“I do not exist,” we faithfully insist
while watching sink the heavy ship of everything we knew
if ever you come near I’ll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as you

I believe in a light that shines
in a voice that finds me in the darkest place
I believe in an endless love whose everything
He’s breath and life to me
I believe God has a son, his only one
and He gave him up for me
I believe in the risen one, His kingdom’s here
Death’s overcome in me
I believe He loves me
I believe He loves me
I believe He loves me
That’s all I need to know
I believe in a peace that rules
over trials and storms and fear that can be so cruel
I believe in a wind that blows
In a Holy Ghost and His fire is consuming me
I believe He loves me
I believe He loves me
I believe He loves me
That’s all I need to know
