If you have family members that hate and dishonor God, and if you love and honor God, there will naturally be division and tension there. Jesus Himself said so. If we love God we must put our relationship with Him above all others. This includes our parents, siblings, and yes, even our children. And in … Continue reading Thoughts & Ponderings: Faithful in the Waiting

Happy New Year!
New Year’s Day is, in reality, just the day after December 31st. Just another day in the huge scope of life.But there’s always something about a new year, seeing that new number, and buying a brand new yearly planner, that makes us think differently about January 1st. And it always seems to “urge” us to … Continue reading Happy New Year!

Asking For Wisdom

Pride Month is Hatred for God
There is a very personal contempt in my heart for “Pride Month”. But it is God Himself that the LGBTQ “community” is in complete conflict with anytime they proclaim their pride in their lifestyle. Scripture denounces self-aggrandizing pride in one’s self and self-glorification. God detests it. God’s word has plenty to say on the subject … Continue reading Pride Month is Hatred for God
Sinful Desires
If some desires weren’t sinful, why would God call them “sinful desires”? Yet some deny that their misplaced desires are sinful, saying they can’t help what is in their minds. But what does God say? “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their … Continue reading Sinful Desires
