Action

The difference between dreams and reality, because without it, the invisible cannot become visible nor can the impossible become possible.
Action is what differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful, and not so much about their IQ or family background—zero action is the worst kind of decision for failure.

Secret Frustration

Something that you don’t understand or doesn’t make sense why it happens to you, but you also know that God could change the situation, because He can remove that obstacle, open that closed door, or remove that temptation or addiction.
Be it a situation in your health, your finances, or a relationship, when God doesn’t seem to be intervening to turn things around, know that His grace is sufficient for every one of your secret frustrations.

Zeromeracy

When someone is at home with the oft-counterintuitive properties or numerical idiosyncrasies of the number zero—for example, although zero is neither positive nor negative, it behaves like an “even number.”
To appreciate the power and beauty of Calculus, one must be able to understand zero and to learn to live with it, because if zero is let loose, one can only expect chaos from the numerical troublemaker—one needs to be versed in zeromeracy to tame the “infidel number.”

Paint by Numbers

The artistic equivalent of ordering a McDonald’s meal instead of going through the hassle of doing your own cooking at home.
Just as you can enjoy the food prepared by a gourmet chef even if you’re a hopeless cook, so you can appreciate a piece of art even if you’re clumsy at handling a “Paint by Numbers” kit.

Fear-Free Math

When math-fearful believers need no longer suffer, if they would look up to Jesus, who died for them on the cross, whose blood has paid for every deliverance and healing of their addictions and afflictions—and this includes their freedom from mathophobia.
God can restore confidence in someone’s attitude towards math, be it by directing them to a better teacher, tutor, or textbook, because He wants them to live a fear-free math lifestyle.

Math as a Verb

When math learning goes beyond learning facts, figures, and applications; instead, math is humanized so that it is allowed to convey beauty, values, truth, justice, play, and love—when mathematical thinking is viewed as a way of life.
Teachers should present math as a verb, not as a noun—when students should be encouraged to be active players, not mere spectators.

Worry Less

An antidote to “don’t worry,” which is an irresponsible act if you have bills to pay and a family to feed—giving in to more worry doesn’t free you of troubles tomorrow; it only saps more of your energy today.
Worry more won’t add a single hour to your life nor a single centimeter to your height, so why not worry less and cast your cares to Jesus, who promises to provide for those who depend on Him?
