School Shootings, Lockdowns, Body Shaming And Bullying: Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein Offers Tools That Help Young People Deal With Anxiety

Dr. Holstein, a Positive Psychologist/filmmaker and originator of a unique Selfie Film concept, is making her latest film, 'Lockdown', available to parents and educators.

Young people growing up in America today face staggering challenges - more so than any generation before. Lockdown drills. School shootings. Body shaming. 24/7 bullying delivered via social media. Drugs. Adolescent suicide. Climate change.

All of this produces a level of anxiety - for young people, their families and educators - that is beyond anything we have ever seen. What do we say to our children? How do we say it? Positive Psychologist and award-winning selfie filmmaker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has the answers to those questions.

Dr. Holstein hopes to bring parents, teachers, librarians, grandparents and media together to accomplish one goal: Change in the lives of young people who suffer from anxiety and a growing sense of hopelessness and despair.

Dr. Holstein wraps Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that young people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

Award winning books (perfect for school libraries)

The Selfie Project

Award winning films and selfie films

Podcasts

Dedicated websites

Stage plays

A library of articles

Ted-style talks

"I am making my latest film 'Lock Down' available to parents and educators," Dr. Holstein stated. "We have no time to waste in dealing with the safety of our kids, physically and emotionally. I hope 'Lock Down' will help generate the type of compassionate concern and connection that moves us as a society to thoughtful and timely solutions."

"I have been concerned about children's mental health for my entire career, spanning teaching elementary school, training teachers, being a school psychologist, being and still am a clinician in private practice. Now I am going public, sharing my concerns. Briefly, 'The Selfie Project' brings to the public both dramatic films and documentaries that give us a new window by which to understand the complex problems facing kids today. The Enchanted Self Podcasts discuss with experts and kids the complex anxiety problems facing our youngsters today."

Holstein's short films have won numerous awards and accolades.

Contrary To The Teachings Of Bruce Wilkinson, There Are Two Sources Of Miracles In The Bible Says Evangelical Outreach Director Dan Corner

Corner is a Christian author, former Pastor, defender of the Christian faith and evangelist who has had over four decades of experience dealing with the Bible.

When we think of miracles, most of us believe that miracles are produced only by the power of God. However there is another kind of miracle that is satanic in nature. The purpose of such satanic miracles is to deceive well meaning followers. Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach, urges us to be on our guard against deception. He recently had this to say:

Miracles from God and from the devil do occur! Because people don't know that there are two sources of miracles, they are getting lethally deceived. Therefore, how to distinguish miracles of God from Satanic miracles is nothing less than vital! When one reads through the book of Revelation, he will notice that the last generation will live through and see not only the effects of war, famine, martyrdom and gross sin, but they will also be subject to gross deception through Satanic miracles.

Remember, miracles do come through two supernatural sources – both God and the devil. In the book of Exodus, some of God's miracles were duplicated by Satan's power channeled through the Egyptian sorcerers -- their wooden staffs became snakes (Ex. 7:10,11); water was changed into blood (Ex. 7:20-22) and frogs came out of the water and covered the land (Ex. 8:6,7). Demons can and do perform miraculous signs (Rev. 16:14).

The last generation will see fire coming down from heaven to earth (Rev. 13:13) and an image of the Antichrist speaking (Rev. 13:15) because of Satanic power. In fact, it will be because of such Satanic miracles that the ones who fatally receive the infamous "mark of the beast" will be deceived (Rev. 13:15-17 cf. 19:20). They will be deceived by the astounding and awe-inspiring miracles produced by Satanic power! See also 2 Thess. 2:9,10.

Satan has used miracles in the past to deceive, and he is still using and will continue to use miracles to deceive. This truth is the answer to the mystic questions regarding Edgar Cayce, Padre Pio, etc.; all of these different religious figures had miracles with the accompanying signs and claims about God and the afterlife, but all of these message conflicted with each other and, more importantly, they conflicted with the Bible, the ultimate, sole and final spiritual authority.

Similar conflicting messages surrounding miracles and visions are also found in Mormonism and Catholicism. In Brigham Young's day, after prayer, they were saved by sea gulls which ate the grain eating crickets.

In contrast, in Catholicism, there are the 1917 "approved" Fatima visions of a personage claiming to be the Virgin Mary, who declared herself to be our "refuge" and "the way" that will lead us to God. The "miracle of the sun" also happened. Such a message about Mary, however, is in direct conflict with Jn. 14:6 which declares Jesus as the only "way" to God and God as our sole refuge (Psa. 46:1; 62:8; etc.)! Even if the so-called "Eucharistic miracles" in the Catholic Church really did occur, they are not determinative of spiritual truth and reality; WHY? Because even the Egyptian sorcerers could transubstantiate water into blood (Ex. 7:20-22); remember there are two sources of miracles. The issue is not if a miracle actually took place, but what is the source of the miracle? If a miracle parallels the Bible message, then it is from God; if the message of purported miracle contradicts and leads one away from the message of the Bible, then it is from our enemy the devil.

Additionally, the Eucharist does not satisfy the conditions of a genuine transubstantiation because it does not become and taste like real flesh and blood, unlike the Bible-based transubstantiation miracle we see in John 2:10, whereby Jesus transformed the water into wine; there, the water tasted like real wine and actually became wine. Most importantly, the message of the Eucharist contradicts the Bible’s salvation message because one gets eternal life solely through repentance and a submissive faith in Jesus (Jn. 6:47; 6:35; Acts 10:43; etc.) without communion.

Furthermore, since Mormonism and Catholicism both have miracles and visions, and since their messages about salvation are in conflict with each other, we logically know that God cannot be the only power source for miracles and visions because God is not a God of confusion. In reality, God's power was NOT active in either of those cases.

The Indian guru Sai Baba's healing and materializations, as well as the Catholic healing waters of Lourdes, also do NOT parallel the Bible message either. Hence, Sai Baba's miracles and the healing miracles from the waters at Lourdes, France cannot be from the same source who gave us the Bible. Do NOT be deceived!

By what then must we gauge all messages and teachings, considering that miracles, visions, signs, etc. can be lethally deceptive? The only criterion is God's written word (2 Tim. 3:16,17). If God's word is not considered as FINAL AUTHORITY when "testing" a miracle, vision, dream, prophecy, or teaching, etc., then one will surely be deceived. Did you know that if you are deceived by a miracle to receive the mark of the beast, YOU will end up in fiery torment, even if you were once saved (Rev. 14:9-12)? We MUST be both "self-controlled" and "alert" in order to stand till the end against the deceitful devil and his wiles (1 Pet 5:8; Eph. 6:10,11).

Remember, these are perilous days with rampant religious deception. In conclusion, God still performs miracles, and he still heals in our day (Jn.14:12; Acts 4:30; etc.), but again, so does the devil. The Bible remains final spiritual authority and will enable us to distinguish God's miracles from Satan’s deceptive miracles. The one and only truth about forgiveness of sins and salvation is repentance from sin and a submissive faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to serve him (Acts 20:21; 26:20; 1 Thess. 1:9; Jn. 3:36; Heb. 5:9; etc.). There is no eternal security (Mt. 10:22; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:10,11). Prepare for your death and judgment afterwards (Heb. 9:27). Pass this teaching on to another.

Dan Corner, a former pastor and ex-Catholic, is the author of a number of books including 'The Believer's Conditional Security: Eternal Security Refuted', 'The Myth of Eternal Security' and 'Is this the Mary of the Bible?'.
