WHY BEHAVING IN THIS WAY? (Part One)

WHY BEHAVING IN THIS WAY? (Part One)

“…He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his peace…” (Proverbs 11:12) “…Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established…” (Proverbs 24:3)

The relevant answer to this question is not a simple one.
The study of the diversity of human behavior involves behavioral science. It is a multidisciplinary field that uses psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines to understand the wide range of different personalities, human actions and interactions. It examines how differences in biology, culture, environment, and experience lead to variation in human personal traits within and between populations.

Key goals of this study are to appreciate ourselves, describe our motivations, comprehend behavioral patterns, and predict these variations to improve individual and group outcomes. We shall understand management strategies to avoid infractions, conflicts, breakdown of relationships, and etc. It is hoped that this treatise will advance our understanding, improvement of family bond, interpersonal/intrapersonal relationships, and unity among the Brethren!

The differences in human personalities are rooted in a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and cultural factors. Here are some key influences:

GENETIC FACTORS.

1. Genetic predispositions: Genetic differences can influence personality traits, such as extraversion or introversion. 

 2. Brain structure and function: Variations in brain structure and function can impact personality.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

1. Upbringing and family dynamics: Family environment, parenting styles, and sibling relationships can shape personality. 
 2. Life experiences: Significant life events, such as trauma or major life changes, can impact personality development. 
 3. Social interactions: Interactions with others, including friends, peers, and community, can influence personality.

CULTURAL FACTORS

1. Cultural norms and values: Cultural norms, values, and expectations can shape personality development. 
 2. Socialization: Cultural socialization can influence personality traits, such as collectivism or individualism.

INTERACTION OF FACTORS:

1. Gene-environment interaction: Genetic predispositions can interact with environmental factors to shape personality. 
 2. Epigenetics: Environmental factors can impact gene expression, influencing personality development.

The complex interplay of all these factors contributes to the unique personality differences we see in individuals around us, in the family, community and in the Church.

TODAY'S TOPIC: Biblical View of Vigils and Cross-Over Night Prayers.  "...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God..." "...And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him..." 1Cor.10:31; Col. 3:17. As a Disciple of Christ, it is essential to approach this question with Biblical authority (Colossians 3:17), and a commitment to practices explicitly commanded or authorized in the Scriptures.  Let us examine this topic through the lens of Biblical teaching! --- 1. Understanding "Vigil" and "Cross-Over Night Prayers". Vigils generally refer to late-night or all-night gatherings for prayer, worship, or reflection. Cross-Over Night Prayers are specific to New Year’s Eve, where individuals or Congregations gather to pray into the New Year. These practices are popular in many religious traditions, but we must ask: Are they authorized by Scripture, and can the Church of Christ...

He who abides in the doctrine (teaching) of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine (teaching), do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds..." As we enter the month of December, the season of the year when many of our friends, relations, and neighbours will be observing the Birthday of Christ.  It will be appropriate that we give some time to a careful study of Christmas. We will attempt to give a comprehensive picture of the truth about Christmas.  Do you know about the origin and history of Christmas?  Humans are prone to take so many things for granted!  Where did Christmas come from?  Who authorized it?  Many of us will quickly answer that it was ordained by God, and orig...
