The Word Condemn...

Condemn means to indicate strong disapproval of to determine, or judge to be wrong, or guilty.

1 John 3:20-23 ~For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Remember To Love...

Remember to love, forgive, and be kind to others. No matter how people treat, or have treated you... Don't hold on to the poison that grudges and unforgiveness can bring. Because when the time comes for you to pass on

from this life into eternity... NOTHING will matter but how you lived your life, and the condition of your soul... So lead a life of love, forgiveness, and kindness, and carry a spirit filled with Holiness!

Hebrews 12:14 ~Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Tormented By Fear...

There are many people that are saved, but still battle fear, and I wanted to post this thought of encouragement. To say that fear can be combated, when you believe what God's word says about the topic.

Don't let the enemy confuse you, by convincing you that this is just your personality or it's how you will always be. Not true, bind and cast away those negative feelings from your life.

By remembering that God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind... embrace your sound mind today, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

2 Timothy 1:7 ~For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Every Day All Day...

Sitting and thinking about how great it feels to be alive, to be in good health, to have a family to love, and that loves me back...

God is so faithful, just, and good to us all. In so many ways both great and small.... Whether we choose to believe it or not. He is beyond AWESOME every day all day!!

1Chronicles 16:9 ~Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

Having Agape Love...

This Wednesday nights bible study was about the importance of having agape love. Showing a love for others that is unconditional.

1 Corinthians 13 ~ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

A Charge To Keep...

Those that are saved should always remain sober, about having a Godly impact on the people around us. Whether it's our father, mother, siblings, friends, and even our enemies.

Remember that we have a charge to keep, and should always love others enough to tell them about how they can be saved.

Matthew 22:37-39~ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

With Sincerity...

This Wednesday's bible study was about Holiness in relationships. How God did not have any respect of persons, loved everybody, and we should do the same. Loving others with sincerity and without favoritism no matter who they are.

Romans 12:9 ~ Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Don't Give Up...

To not love and always associate someone with the mistakes or bad things that they have done in life is not good... If any human is still alive, then they still have the opportunity to become all the good things that God has called them to be.

Don't give up on them, pray for them, and watch God work... For only he has the power to change a person, no matter who they are, if it's his will it shall be done!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7~ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ~KJV Bible~

Fix And Heal...

Staying quiet and prayerful about people and situations, is always better. Than to gossip and "uncover" them before others.

Doing so can negatively "grow" a problem and make it even worse. But praying to God about it has the power to fix and to heal!

1 Peter 4:8~ And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

A Beautiful Saying...

A beautiful saying that I want to always remember..."The greatest privilege man has is the opportunity to love God and serve Him. We must never take this privilege for granted" ~Quoted From Our Adult Student Handbook~

Let's Play Boosh...

Running up to me, wide eyed and with a smile. Our son "bubby" says, mama let's play "boosh". "Boosh" is a sound that I make when I'm tossing him up in the air, and he loves it.

Then of course once I started playing with him, all the rest of our children wanted to play too, and as we laughed, played, and had fun together.

I thought about how these are the moments that children enjoy the most, and our children will probably remember for a long time. Take the time to love on, and have fun with your children, because when that precious time is gone... it's gone and you can't get it back.
