“The answer to that question is categorically, ‘No.’ Rather, Paul was saying that Euodia and Syntyche should have the mind of Jesus Christ. The mind of Jesus Christ is described in Philippians 2. The mind of Christ was an unselfish mind. It was a mind intent on doing the will of God. It was a mind of a servant. It was a mind that was filled with concern for other people. To ‘be of the same mind in the Lord’ means that both parties involved in a disagreement should focus their concern on the other person, not on themselves or their rights or wishes or desires. Paul was exhorting Euodia and Syntyche to stop being so selfish.” (Pages 49–50)
“Learning problems are frequently related to intelligence factors, but they may also be related to disabilities not tied to intelligence, such as medical concerns involving general health status, nutrition, prenatal circumstances, body chemistry, vision and hearing, allergic reactions, etc. In addition, they may be related to problems involving the receiving of information (reception), the integration of information (association), and the memory processes.” (Page 31)
“Your comments and/or specific questions will help the evaluator to zero-in on pertinent concerns more quickly, perhaps eliminating a lot of exploratory work which might normally be done.” (Page 31)
“For example, if the problem cannot be ignored because the other person does the same thing over and over again, then the Bible designates the proper way to handle the situation.” (Page 47)
“There is a biblical way to handle resentment and mistreatment. If we handle the mistreatment incorrectly, we’re just as wrong as the person who mistreated us.” (Page 46)
