The Hidden Sin of Frienemies We’ve all heard the expression, “keep your friends close; and, your enemies closer.” I don’t know who the first person was to say this; but, I can certainly understand it’s intended, advisory, purpose: Being that, if you can see your enemies, to keep an eye on them; then, you will have a better chance at, not only, knowing what they are up to; but, likewise, at countering their attacks. But, oftentimes our enemies are those who are already closest to us; those whom we trust, not to betray us. And, sometimes we allow people that we think are friends to get too close; so close, in fact, that we show to them all that is in our houses, withholding nothing. So, then what? Here’s what the Bible says about...
When we think of the effects of the Fall, passed on to us, we think of sin, imperfection,and death.But one thing I notice that may not be focused on , but taking a look at it, I couldn't picture it happening before the Fall,is the aging process.How would that be tied in to the Fall?Well, death entered in{"Through one man death entered in"}.Spiritual death of course, but also physical.Now how does the road to physical death start?Barring exceptions, like a young person dying on the football field,a stillborn, or the youngest yet,a miscarriage,if the person lives out their lives,when they're young{teens...early 20s..}.they have a lot of energy,and their body lets them get away with murder.

No matter what you are going through in this life, at work, at home or within yourself.... God will take care of you, because He loves you, He cares for you, He wants you to be happy and joyful. At work.... 1. The boss picks on you all the time and refuses to help. Pray for him or her. They are so far from Jesus and they need our prayers. 2. Fellow coworkers make fun of you and do not believe our witness is true. Ask Jesus to deliver them from the devils hands. 3. The secretary forgot to write your name on the payroll and now you will not get a paycheck. Pray for her. At home.... A. Your husband picks on you and threatens to divorce you. The devil is using him to make your life miserable. Fast and pray for your...
Described; not prescribed, were the words of a sermon I heard recently. I thought to myself: “That’s absolutely correct;” just because something is written in the bible, doesn’t mean it is a prescription for us to perform in our lives. In fact, having exclaimed: “Just because ‘It is written,’ does not necessarily mean ‘it is approved;’” I have paraphrased that very same sentiment, for quite some time now; especially when the intent is hateful or destructive. Yet, there is a word in my translation, which is left out of the sermonic version: “necessarily.” That little word, necessarily, makes room for the component which completes the equation: COMMANDED. So then, let’s look at the equation, in its’ full context: “described...
2 Chronicles 26 King James Version (KJV) 26 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did. 5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. 6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the...
Pray About Everything Be anxious for nothing (don't worry/stop worrying), but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (pray about it); and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Meditate on These Things Finally, my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate/think on these things. Fill your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse...
