SUSPICIOUS MINDS How to Deal with “Paranoid” Thinking Suspicion Is Not Always Sinful SUSPICIOUS MINDS SUSPICIOUS MINDS How to Deal with “Paranoid” Thinking Suspicion is not always sinful SUSPICIOUS MINDS • There are times when it is proper to suspect others, and to protect ourselves and our loved ones from those who are a real threat. • There are times when suspicious activity ought to be reported to law enforcement professionals. (C.f. Acts 23:16-21, Romans 13:1–7; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13) • There are times to flee from real danger. The Westminster Catechism says “The sixth commandment requires all lawful endeavors to preserve our own life, and the life of others.” It is also important to consider that on some occasions both Old and New Testament saints fled in order to escape danger. (C.f. 1 Samuel 19:18, 21:10, 27:1-2; Acts 9:23-31, 14:5-7, 17:9-10) Common Suspicious Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS • “I just don’t trust her.” • “I can’t put my finger on it but she makes me feel uncomfortable.” • “I’ve got to keep my guard up when I am around them.” • “I just know they are talking about me behind my back.” • “She looks for ways to push my buttons.” • “He never answers the telephone when I call. He’s avoiding me.” “Everyday Paranoia” SUSPICIOUS MINDS Television news broadcasts, newspapers, magazines, and Internet news cites bombard us daily with reports of murders, kidnappings, suicide bombing and other violent crimes against humanity. Ever since September 11, 2001, we have been repeatedly warned to beware of international terrorism—to such an extent that many have developed an almost hyper- vigilant mindset. We now know that the NSA has been monitoring our personal correspondences. (Who knows what other governments are doing along these lines?) Conspiracy documentaries and web-sites make us wonder who’s really up to what. Even our syndicated television programs and many of the movies our society craves are filled with murder, violent crimes, and lots of other scary stuff. The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS It happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with musical instruments. The women sang as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.” Then Saul became very angry, for this saying dis-pleased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on. (1 Samuel 18:6-9 NASB) The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. • Jealousy and Anger Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” • Suspicion (1 Samuel 18:8) • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on. (1 Samuel 18:9) • Jealousy and Anger • Suspicion • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a • Jealousy and Anger spear was in Saul’s hand. • Suspicion (1 Samuel 18:10) • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Saul hurled the spear for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from his presence twice. • Jealousy and Anger (1 Samuel 18:11) • Suspicion • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Now Saul was afraid of David, for the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul. (1 Samuel 18:12) • Jealousy and Anger • Suspicion • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS When Saul saw that he was prospering greatly, he dreaded him. (1 Samuel 18:15) • Jealousy and Anger • Suspicion • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Then Saul was even more afraid of David. Thus Saul was David’s enemy continually. • Jealousy and Anger (1 Samuel 18:29) • Suspicion • Ranting • Attempted Murder • Fear • Dread • More Fear; and Enmity The Progression of Saul’s Sinful Thoughts SUSPICIOUS MINDS Suspicion causes you to keep your eye on the wrong person. Rather than focusing on pleasing and worshiping the One who sovereignly controls all things (who causes all things to work together for the good to those who love Him and who has promised to protect his children)… Suspicion focuses on the harm one may experience at the hand of an autonomous entity who is going to somehow neutralize God’s promises and penetrate His defenses. In one way or another, suspicious people distrust God himself. They trust instead (or at least more) in their own perceived ability to protect themselves. Sources of suspicion towards God SUSPICIOUS MINDS • Guilt leading to fear of God’s punishment • Traumatic experience leading to wondering why God allowed it to happen • Worry leading to anxiety and fear Dealing with the Attending Sins of Suspicion SUSPICIOUS MINDS • Anxiety (worry) • Evil suspicion • Distrusting God (lack of faith) • Sinful jealousy • Rash judgments • Judging (imputing evil) motives • Unrighteous (or unjust) judgment Dealing with the Attending Sins of Suspicion SUSPICIOUS MINDS • Sinful fear • Not “believing the best” • False accusation • Selfishness • Pride • False reasoning (thinking that doesn’t conform to reality) • Exaggerating the threat of actual dangerous motives What Causes (or Contributes to) Sinful Suspicion? SUSPICIOUS MINDS • Learned behavior • An unclear conscience • Lack of love for (and trust in) God • Interpreting life according to one’s feelings (according to sight or appearances) rather than through the lens of Scripture (according to faith — 2 Cor. 5:6-7) Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord - for we walk by faith, not by sight – 2 Cor. 5:6-7 What Causes (or Contributes to) Sinful Suspicion? SUSPICIOUS MINDS • False reasoning • Sleep deprivation • Inferiority judgments • Drugs and alcohol • Stress • Physical illness • The influence of others Overcoming Suspicion SUSPICIOUS MINDS 1. Try to identify the things that trigger suspicious thoughts. 2. Determine precisely what it is that you suspect others of doing. 3. Determine the biblical validity of the evidence upon which your suspicion is founded. 4. Try to reevaluate the “evidence” in light of Scripture. 5. If necessary, rethink the suspicion in light of Scripture (especially in light of the sovereignty and goodness of God). A PDF download is available at kressbiblical.com Overcoming Suspicion SUSPICIOUS MINDS 6. Look for and dethrone idolatrous desires that may be generating your suspicion. 7. Ask yourself “How would Christ have viewed and responded to the ‘evidence’ upon which I am basing my suspicions?” 8. Learn how to “put off” worrying. 9. Practice believing the best about those who give you no reason not to do so. 10.Prayerfully make it your goal to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself. Overcoming Suspicion ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?.

  • St. Mary's Stroke Center Keeps Elvis Tribute Singer in the Groove
    St. Mary’s stroke center keeps Elvis tribute singer in the groove BY MARY JANE FINE [email protected] Oh, it’d be easy to use all the Elvis clichés about Al Maeyens’ recent stroke, to say he was “All Shook Up” or in “Trouble” or that it was almost “Too Much,” or that his wife, Dee, could’ve been in “Heartbreak Hotel” if not for her husband’s “Good Luck Charm.” Easy, yes. Too easy. Because a stroke is serious business. Deadly serious. “He was paralyzed, unable to speak, deteriorating COURTESY PHOTO: Al Maeyens likes to sing the rapidly,” recalls Dr. Ali R. Malek, who treated Mr. less-known Elvis songs when performing as Elvis Maeyens at St. Mary’s Medical Center. “He had a and The Memphis Beat. blockage in his basal artery, the main artery that feeds the brain.” Mr. Maeyens, who is an Elvis Presley tribute singer – “Don’t say ‘Elvis impersonator,’” he says, “that sounds demeaning” – well, he doesn’t remember much about the day his life almost ended, the day he now calls “that extraordinary event in my life.” It was November of 2012. He had an Elvis booking scheduled for December 2. He’d been having vertigo and what he calls “shimmering auras” in his eyes. He visited an Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT) specialist, who diagnosed an inner-ear problem. He returned home. The dizziness continued. He went to a nearby hospital ER, got a CT scan, another inner- ear diagnosis and a prescription for Antivert, an antihistamine that treats the symptoms of motion sickness.

  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.

  • Introducing Elvis Presley
    Chapter 1 Introducing Elvis Presley In This Chapter ▶ Outlining Elvis’s place in American history ▶ Summarizing Elvis’s life ▶ Tracking Elvis’s popularity from beginning to end n the one hand, Elvis Presley needs no introduction, because his name Oand face are recognized around the world as the ultimate celebrity. Imitators re-create his act; late-night comedians joke about him; cable chan- nels rerun his movies; and merchandisers exploit his image on everything from T-shirts to lamps. On the other hand, the reasons for his fame have become lost in the trappings of celebrity, especially for younger generations born after his death on August 16, 1977. For the original fans, who have remained loyal for over 50 years, Elvis earned his reputation as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll; for others, discovering why he deserved his fame and a place in American cultural history may be a revelation. In this chapter, I introduce you to Elvis Presley through the high points of his life and career, including his post-death popularity. This chapter sets up an extensive exploration of Elvis Presley — the cultural icon — that details the events of his life, explains the significance of his music, and contemplates his meaning to American pop culture. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Identifying a Cultural Icon Almost everyone knows that Elvis Presley was a famous singer, but many people don’t fully understand what he contributed to popular music to earn his widespread fame. Elvis combined different types of music to form a style called rockabilly, which became one of the key sounds in rock ’n’ roll.
