JUST A MINUTE, PLEASE! [THE PREACHER'S CORNER] 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 IS SURROCACY BIBLICALLY SOUND A WAY OF HUMAN REPRODUCTION? 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 Since the beginning of time,Lucifer has and continues in his failed attempts to use "SCIENCE" to try and obliterate God's Word and Sovereign Authority. But one certain thing he knows is that, his BOSS AND MASTER,who he is fighting is only using him as a tool,and once his time is up, he and his demons/ earthly worshippers will be sunk in his eternal abode...hell! Those in my orbit know I'm not really a fan of engaging in controversial subjects,which always ends up in profitless(in most cases) heated debates. But for this ...I have been trying for long to avoid it,but the burden became so heavy that I'd to seek out those who share the same Biblical,and equally clinical belief in the ungodliness of surrogacy as an option of human reproduction as I. Even though there is a lot of dialogue around having babies, if a couple cannot have a baby, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them... not from a spiritual perspective or their alternative choices to have children. The Bible recorded no entire lifetime barren woman, except Michal, Saul's daughter and King David's wife,who mocked him for praising God with heartfelt abandon. God was wroth with her! Surrogacy is a popular subject within the Christian community as well as outside the Christian community. There are many Christians who believe it is perfectly fine to have a baby via surrogacy, and there are other Christians who take the opposite view. With the differing views among Christians, we need to turn to the Bible. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; however, the Bible contains the truth. THE FIRST SURROCACY! The first surrogacy found in the Bible is in Genesis 16. Abraham and Sarah are the first parents who use a surrogate mother in order to have a child. Sarah was unable to have children, so she had her servant, Hagar, become the surrogate mother of her child. TAKE NOTE OF THIS...SARAH WASN'T CREATED BARREN...GOD PRESERVED HER WOMB FOR HIS OWN GLORY...BUT BOTH ABRAHAM AND SARAH COULDN'T UNDERSTAND GOD'S PLAN AS AT THAT POINT. Abraham was still the father: however, the true mother of this child was not Sarah but rather Hagar. Despite Hagar only following orders from Sarah, Sarah became extremely mad at Hagar and beat her. It went as far as Hagar running away from Sarah. Hagar ran away with her son and was prepared to die. God comforted, knowing it wasn't her fault,as she had to obey her "Madam" Sarah, and Hagar eventually returns with her son to Abraham and Sarah. From this first account of surrogacy in the Bible, we can see just how much pain it can cause. Till today, we see the havoc being inflicted on the world by that singular act of impatience. Abraham had to send Ishmael away,as he wasn't the God promised SEED. Thus, whoever is using this as a backup for surrogacy is on a wrong track. Abraham slept with another woman (not fusion of sperm and ovum.) While surrogacy doesn't occur today as the result of a husband being intimate with another woman, the principle is still there...AND I REPEAT, THE PRINCIPLE IS WRONG...THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR! Committed Christian believers who know their God will never opt for surrogacy even if they cannot have their own children...the wait can be emotionally traumatic. But once they hold on to the fact, that there was no barren in God's Word, they will learn to trust God and wait for His Plans for them; (Jeremiah 29:11) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. From the viewpoint of the woman who cannot have the child, and opts for surrogacy (science,) it can cause her great pain to know that she cannot be the one who carries her child. Many of us may shrug over this, but for others, it can cause great heartbreak and ache. As a temporarily (temporary , because years don't count for God the way they count for us,) childless Faithful christian married couple, considering surrogacy, you need to make sure you think over this topic immensely and go back to your God and His Word. Because, it will be a decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life. Nowhere in the Bible does God directly forbid surrogacy (OH YES BECAUSE, GOD KNOWS HE NEVER CREATED ANY WOMAN TO BE BARREN, NOR ANY MAN TO HAVE A LOW SPERM COUNT, SO NATURALLY, THERE'S NOTHING TO FORBID THERE.) However, as we can see from Genesis 16, the look alike we lay claim to in supporting our impatience and lack of confidence in God's Word did cause problems. When a husband and wife get married, they become one flesh. If they have any children, it will be the two of them who are the parents. This is how God designed the family relationship to be ... one mother and one father. When there is a surrogate mother involved, it means there is an additional third person in the scenario.(An aberration in God's Sight...you are not obligated to believe,but I'm obligated to tell you.) As we can see from the Bible, marriage is to be between one man and one woman...not a man and two women. Anything outside of this union goes against God’s design for marriage. Every male Bible character that went for more than one wife, experienced one problem or the other...even to the point of losing salvation like ever infamous King Solomon...the polygamist's solid defense. If we look from the surrogate mother's perspective, we can see things differently too. It would be hard to fathom that the surrogate mother wouldn't build some sort of motherly bond with the child since it would be her own child growing inside her for nine months. Going further, even if the surrogate mother changed her mind and wanted to keep the baby, she couldn't. Due to the law, she would have to give the baby to the man and woman who wanted to have the child. Who knows how much pain a surrogate mother would feel the moment after she delivers a baby, just for a nurse to take it away, and she will never see the baby again. There are many ethical problems surrounding this that can cause great pain and problems for everyone involved, including the baby. When that baby grows up,and discovers that he/she came into the world in another woman's womb other their professed parents. Isn't it traumatic? Some would want to go looking for the woman who was a home then for nine months. Many individuals try to use the Old Testament out of context to try to claim the woman is struggling with a sin problem, and that's why she can't have children. This couldn't be further from the truth. ALL THE WOMEN IN THE BIBLE, THAT PEOPLE THEN DEEMED TO BE BARREN, EVENTUALLY GAVE BIRTH TO "SPECIAL CHILDREN." Sarah had Isaac, Rebecca(after 20 years,had Jacob and Esau (two nations,) Rachael had Joseph, Manoah had Samson, Hannah had Prophet Samuel, Elizabeth had John the Baptist, etc,! There is not an underlying "sin problem." Instead of condemning the woman for not being able to have a child, it is best to be encouraging and supportive...for God is preserving their wombs for special SEEDS. AGAIN, I WANT TO REEMPHASIZE THIS...GOD CREATED NONE TO BE BARREN, DEFINITELY NOT THOSE SERVING HIM FAITHFULLY; There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. (Exo 23: 26) Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. (Deu 7: 14) While many people may point her in the direction of surrogacy, this might not be the best idea. As established, it can cause unfixable pain, anguish, and disaster. Isaiah's words in(Chapter 54:1-6) weren't merely figurative,but rather prophetic ... a passionate appeal for waiting couples to stay in the Faith; Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. (Isa 54: 1) For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. (Isa 54: 5) ADOPTION IS A BETTER OPTION FOR THE IMPATIENT COUPLE! Rather than opting for surrogacy, consider the idea of adoption. Adoption is a big decision, just like surrogacy is, but adoption doesn't come with all the pain and heartbreak that surrogacy can involve. Surrogacy doesn't fit in any place in God's Word, however, in the Bible, we do see that adoption is encouraged and Biblical. In fact, when we become believers, we are adopted into the family of God. Despite the fact that we are not Israel, God brings us into His family as His adoptive sons and daughters. This is a beautiful truth for all believers across the globe. Even though we might look different from one another, we are all adopted children of our God. If you choose to adopt rather than use a surrogate, this is a biblical alternative. There are thousands of children who need a home and a loving family. While these children are not technically your own flesh and blood, you have the opportunity to love them just as God chooses to love us as adoptive children. In this way, the love of God can be modeled in your actions and in your own family life. If you are struggling to have children, you can choose to either keep trying or consider adoption. Reflect on all of these decisions and turn to the Lord in prayer. Make sure to include Him in any decision you make and ask Him for guidance... Amen🙇🙏!

## Shaping Success: How Skinner's Operant Conditioning Powers Performance Across US Industries **By MaxLearn** In the fast-paced, competitive landscape of American industry, optimizing performance, boosting efficiency, and ensuring compliance are not just goals – they are imperatives. While cutting-edge technology and data analytics often grab headlines, the fundamental principles of human behavior remain the bedrock of sustainable success. And when it comes to understanding and influencing behavior, few theories are as impactful and widely applicable as B.F. Skinner's Operant Conditioning. At MaxLearn, we believe in the power of applied psychology to drive tangible results. Let's explore how Skinner's insights, focusing on the relationship between behavior and its consequences, are being strategically leveraged across diverse sectors in the USA, from the trading floor to the mine shaft. ### The Core of Operant Conditioning: Reinforcement and Punishment At its heart, operant conditioning is about learning through consequences. Behaviors that are followed by desirable outcomes (reinforcement) are more likely to be repeated, while those followed by undesirable outcomes (punishment) are less likely to occur. This deceptively simple concept holds immense power for shaping individual and organizational behavior. Think of it this way: * **Positive Reinforcement:** Adding something desirable to increase a behavior (e.g., a bonus for exceeding sales targets, praise for a job well done). * **Negative Reinforcement:** Removing something undesirable to increase a behavior (e.g., a deadline extension for completing a challenging project ahead of schedule, removing a tedious task once a safety protocol is consistently followed). * **Positive Punishment:** Adding something undesirable to decrease a behavior (e.g., a penalty for non-compliance, a negative performance review for missed deadlines). * **Negative Punishment:** Removing something desirable to decrease a behavior (e.g., loss of privileges for a safety violation, reduction in commission for poor customer service). Now, let's see how these principles are put into practice across various American industries: ### Insurance & Finance: Driving Sales and Diligence In the high-stakes worlds of insurance and finance, performance is directly tied to knowledge, compliance, and client interaction. * **Insurance Agent Training & Claims Adjuster Training:** MaxLearn's programs, incorporating operant conditioning, reinforce best practices in sales techniques, customer service, and ethical conduct. Positive reinforcement, such as bonuses for high policy conversion rates or recognition for quick, accurate claims processing, drives desired behaviors. Conversely, rigorous **liability insurance for personal trainers** and other professionals often involves training that uses negative reinforcement by highlighting the severe consequences of non-compliance, thereby encouraging adherence to standards. * **Investment & Corporate Banking Courses:** Our **investment banking prep course** and **corporate banking courses** utilize immediate feedback and progress tracking – forms of positive reinforcement – to encourage mastery of complex financial models and regulatory knowledge. Passing an **American Bankers Association certification** acts as a powerful reinforcer, validating expertise and opening doors to career advancement. ### Retail & Banking: Cultivating Customer Excellence and Operational Efficiency The success of retail and banking hinges on consistent, positive customer experiences and streamlined operations. * **Retail Sales Training & Management Courses:** MaxLearn's **retail sales training** and **retail management courses** employ operant conditioning to shape employee behavior. Sales associates receive positive reinforcement (commissions, public recognition) for meeting targets and providing exceptional service. **Retail store manager training** often involves systems where adherence to visual merchandising standards or inventory accuracy reduces negative consequences (e.g., less time spent correcting errors). * **American Bankers Association Training & Mortgage Loan Processing Training:** In banking, our **American Bankers Association classes** and **mortgage loan processing training** reinforce meticulous attention to detail and compliance with financial regulations. Timely processing and error-free applications are positively reinforced, while procedural errors may lead to corrective feedback, a form of positive punishment designed to decrease undesirable actions. ### Healthcare: Enhancing Patient Care and Compliance From clinical skills to administrative precision, operant conditioning is vital in healthcare. * **Online Medical Billing and Coding Training & Home Health Aide Training:** MaxLearn's **online medical billing and coding training** emphasizes accuracy, with correctly coded claims serving as immediate positive reinforcement for trainees. **Home health aide training online** reinforces proper patient care techniques and safety protocols through simulation and positive feedback, ensuring quality service delivery. * **Healthcare Administration Training:** Effective **healthcare administration training** uses operant principles to instill efficient management practices. Meeting administrative deadlines or successfully implementing new patient intake systems can be positively reinforced with performance bonuses or leadership opportunities. ### Mining, Oil & Gas: Prioritizing Safety and Skill Development Safety is paramount in the mining, oil, and gas industries. Operant conditioning plays a critical role in fostering a strong safety culture and developing specialized skills. * **Mining Safety Certification & MSHA Certification:** MaxLearn's **mining safety certification** and **MSHA Part 46 certification online** programs heavily rely on negative reinforcement – by avoiding potential accidents or regulatory fines through adherence to safety protocols. Positive reinforcement, such as safety bonuses or recognition for incident-free operations, also encourages safe behavior. Our **msha trainer certification** programs specifically equip trainers to apply these principles effectively. * **Training for Oil and Gas & Oil and Gas Certification:** In the **oil and gas industry**, MaxLearn's **training for oil and gas** and **oil and gas certification online** programs reinforce precise operational procedures and emergency responses. Successful completion of **certification in oil and gas industry** modules serves as a powerful positive reinforcer, validating competence and enabling career progression in a high-risk environment. Consistent adherence to safety checks reduces the negative consequence of equipment malfunction, a form of negative reinforcement. ### Pharma: Driving Sales Excellence and GMP Compliance The pharmaceutical sector demands both sales prowess and unwavering adherence to strict regulatory standards. * **Pharmaceutical Sales Training & Pharma Rep Training:** MaxLearn's **pharmaceutical sales training** and **pharma rep training** programs leverage positive reinforcement, such as sales incentives and recognition for achieving quotas, to drive performance. Role-playing and simulations provide immediate feedback, allowing sales representatives to refine their approach before engaging with real clients. * **GMP Training for Pharmaceutical Industry:** Critical for compliance, **GMP training for pharmaceutical industry** utilizes operant conditioning by positively reinforcing correct procedures and documenting compliance. The avoidance of regulatory penalties (negative reinforcement) also strongly motivates adherence to **Good Manufacturing Practices**. Our **pharmaceutical training** ensures that employees understand the consequences of non-compliance, reinforcing the importance of every step. ### MaxLearn: Your Partner in Applied Learning At MaxLearn, we understand that effective training goes beyond simply imparting knowledge. By strategically applying the principles of Skinner's Operant Conditioning, we design programs that not only educate but actively **shape desired behaviors** across your workforce. Whether it's improving sales performance, enhancing safety protocols, ensuring regulatory compliance, or fostering leadership skills, our tailored solutions create environments where the right actions are consistently reinforced, leading to measurable success. **Ready to transform behavior and drive performance within your organization?
