Mind Games!


Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on thee,
because he trusteth in thee.
(Is. 26:3)

Ever heard of ‘mind games’? It is a treacherous game where the victims struggle and strategize to become the winner. When confronted…the players of the game battle for supreme dominance over their opponents. The object of the game is to stay on top. In desperation, each player struggles to “stay afloat”…similar to someone being rescued who can’t swim. They would push down and attempt to drown their rescuers  to save their own lives. Just like a drowning swimmer…people who play mind games are really not in control (II Tim. 3:13)!

Mind games can be one of the longest games ever played. There are no rules or boundaries! Sometimes the players are subtle and at other times mind games can be fierce and highly competitive. The games are cruel and really, in the end, nobody wins!

According to the Bible, Christians are to stay far from playing mind games (Gal. 5:15). If you choose to play you can easily become a pawn to the master strategist himself! It’s really his game — his turf. He plays it so well and would teach anyone who’s interested how to play to their own detriment! Don’t play mind games!

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix
your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and
pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that
are excellent and worthy of praise.

(Philippians 4:8 NLT)

Attention: All ETA Advanced Graduates


 

south-lyon-junk-099.jpgThe International Christian Education Auxiliary (ICEA) has some wonderful news for all former ETA Advanced Grads. We are in the process of selling the gold stoles you used during your graduation. These stoles make great souvenirs. ICEA recently purchased new stoles, which are monogramed with the new initials (ICEA). We are letting the former stoles go for only $5.00 each. While they last, you may purchase one for a keep-sake. E-mail me so I can hold yours before they are all gone. I will be announcing the sale of these stoles during the National Convention. You will have a souvenir of your own to remind everyone of your participation in the ETA ceremony.

Deacon Gene M. Claxton, Sr.
ICEA Director
