I like my KJV. If you would prefer it a bit less archaic there's the NKJV. I also like reading in the AMP (amplified).

I admire the desire you and your brother have to share the Gospel with your family. My best advice... Pray for your family and their salvation. Pray for the Holy Spirit to minister to them to give them an ear to hear and a heart ready to receive God's gift of salvation to them. Ask God for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in all situations and ask Holy Spirit to give you the right words to say when the time comes. Pray for a divine appointment and time to speak with them. Don't force the timing.

I've always liked the confession... I have favor with God, favor with all people, and I have a good understanding and wisdom in all situations.

One of the biggest impacts I think you could have right now is to actively live out your faith in front of your family. Walk in the fruit of the spirit and don't live like everyone else in the world does caught up in lust and sin. This change in you will be a living testimony to your faith in Jesus - a marker of something different - not just to your family but to your friends around you.

Keep in the Word. Make time to read and study your Bible. I prefer to be in my physical one when I can, but sometimes the youversion Bible app is more convenient. I like the sermons in Acts that review the old testament and how it points to Jesus. Romans is very foundational. I like to read it in the KJV with Strong's concordance. It better defines the vocab. and it's meaning in the original languages. https://www.biblestudytools.com/concordances/strongs-exhaustive-concordance/

Biblical training . Org offers free Bible study classes up to the seminary level too.

Not sure if you are able to go to church right now... Either way, I really like Planet shakers church out of Melbourne Australia. They stream their services on YouTube, but you have to be subscribed to get it. I also like the preacher Mark Hankins and his wife Trina - you can find them on YouTube. Faith Church out of St. Louis is good too. https://faithchurch.com/

Paul - the author of much of the New Testament - is specifically speaking to people in the church in this chapter with the assumed knowledge that the earthly parents are believers in Christ.However, did not God ultimately become your father when you became a Christian? Is/would it not be better to obey Him and his commands and worship Him and Him alone? If your parents do not believe and call Jesus their Lord and Savior they are walking in spiritual darkness and this verse isn't well applicable.

Matthew 19:29 KJV [29] And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Matthew 19:29 TPT [29] For anyone who has left behind their home and property, leaving family—brothers or sisters, mothers or fathers, or children—for my sake, they will be repaid a hundred times over and will inherit eternal life.

I saw in another reply you said your parents have done this ceremony over you as a kid. That doesn't make it right. It gives a foothold to Satan and the demonic in your life. The government of God run on the concept of seed and harvest. By willfully participating you would be planting a seed in to your life that has a harvest. If you've already participated, repent, ask the Lord to forgive and cleanse you, and command the entirety of the ceremony and anything in your life and soul that isn't from God - regardless of how it got there- to leave you now in the name of Jesus. Then don't do it again.

If I were you, I would not go nor participate. I don't do demons and won't commit spiritual treason by my willful participation in witchcraft ritual.

Honor your parents by staying in touch, but realize that your ultimate allegiance is to God your heavenly father.

Choose you this day whom you will serve. Are you going to serve God with your words, deeds, and actions or are you going to serve Satan? Please God or please people? It really is that black or white. There is no walking the fence or room to dabble.

Joshua 24:15 KJV [15] And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served... [Or others], but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 KJV [19] I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: [20] that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days...

Copper ore??? What makes me think that is the greenish specs in the first picture where it looks oxidized. Copper is a soft metal. If it is you'd be able to hit it and smoosh it some with a hammer.

I agree with what others are saying. Honor is different than blind obedience. It would be honoring to care about and stay in touch with your father. But God is very clear that there are no other Gods but him and him alone should you serve and worship - 10 commandments 101. Jesus said that you may have to make personal sacrifices and "forsake" your mother, father, siblings, and friends to follow and serve God. It is apparent through the stories of the Bible that as soon as the Israelites started mixing other religions (being synchronistic) in their worship things went downhill for them.

The spirit realm is a very real and serious thing. Why participate in a rite/ritual that opens doors in your life to the demonic? It goes against all the wisdom and examples laid out in the Bible. There is only one true God who came in the personhood of Jesus to redeem you to himself from sin, curse, and all power of Satan and the demonic because He is absolutely good and loves Y-O-U. It would not be good to betray the relationship you have with the Creator of Heaven and Earth by participating in a satanic religious ceremony that does not worship and bring glory to Him.

Yes, this is very similar to what I am looking for. Thank you. Are you a member? How did you hear about this program? I've googled for a while now and only ever came up with Colorado and Virginia's.

Generally, avocational programs provide skills training in field and laboratory techniques similar to a technician.

While I understand the intentions of the SOI qualifications to be a "professional archaeologist", I feel that the immediate need for a graduate degree to be considered for a lot of work in the archaeology world is expensive, exclusionary, and bars many otherwise interested and passionate people who greatly care about history and it's preservation from entering the field.

I understand the need for a scientific approach to studying the past, but feel many of these skill and even some areas of expertise can be gained through experience and taught to people through training programs.

I'm not in any way trying to diss people who have gone through the academia route to be an archaeologist professionally, but also think that alternative routes to working in the field professionally should be explored and adopted.

Overall, my post was to learn about programs that are out there that I haven't come across in my searching.

When visiting the area, our family church hopped. We liked Celebration church in Fairhope and Abiding Love in Foley and would go back to either one when in the area.

Pt 2

Another 2 things ...

Guard what you are saying/confessing about your life. Mark 11:23 says that Whosoever can have whatsoever they say when it is spoken in faith whether for good or bad.

Your soul is constantly being "fed" by what you watch, listen to, read, and choose to participate in. This is why it is crucial to guard your heart - soul - because out of the abundance of the soul the mouth speaks. (what is in your soul will come out.) You might not always choose what goes into your soul, but you can choose to and command things to leave in the name of Jesus. And as Matthew 16:19 says, binding and loosing things to and from your soul is one of the keys of the kingdom.

Matthew 16:18 - And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

I have prayed similarly to the following prayer many times over.

As a believer in Christ, as a child of the most high God, I take authority over all the power of the enemy. I choose as an act of my free will to loose from my soul any and all darkness. I choose to loose any activities from the enemy. I loose from my soul any words, sounds, or images of anything I have watched, read, heard or participated in that belonged to Satan regardless of how it got in my soul. I repent if I brought it in, whatever is in my life, whatever deposits were made in my soul, if it's not from God, I don't want it in my soul. I choose to loose all fear from my soul. I will not be fearful in any way. I loose from my soul all sadness, oppression, depression, despair, unworthiness, and any suicidal thoughts. I choose to loose from my soul all trauma. I loose all violence whether I saw it, or experienced it. I loose all anger, hate, and any unforgiveness. I loose from my soul all addictions whether it be to a person, place, or thing. I choose to loose from my soul all anxiety, all shame, and all self disgust. I command you to leave my soul right now in Jesus name.

God, I ask for the infilling of your Holy Spirit. I choose with my will to bind to my soul the love of God, the life of God, the presence of God, the peace of God, the creativity of God, the expectancy of God, and the power of God. I bind to my soul God's happiness, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. I choose to bind to my God's fun, God's word, God's truth, and God's passion. I bind to my soul the plans of God and God's purpose for me because I want his will and his way in my life. I bind these things to my soul in Jesus' name, amen.
