I TRULY DECIDE EVERY CHRISTMAS SEASON TO BE GALLED at (in the context of enduring, but very much disliking) the choices people make especially at this time of the year. I’m thinking of those who ‘celebrate’ Christmas. You know, the phonies who want Christmas pies, cookies, fudge, warm fireplaces, gifts and love without Christ. (I say this boldly because it is true! And: Beloved, I say this boldly because I repented that I was ever a phony! So, that takes…..
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND: make it fun all around! When I spray my hair to set it: I spray in the tune of Jingle Bells! Makes me smile every time! Nehemiah 8:10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
ONE OF satan’s EFFECTIVE TOOLS IS THIS LIE: “That’s so old-fashioned!” The intonation is this: old-fashioned is outmoded, outdated, out of vogue, not popular… and this would, of course, by the seasoned and reasoned secular mind include, The Bible! Therefore: because God is The Ancient of Days, He must be outdated, not popular. Have you ever heard this lie?! “It’s just an old, outdated book written by a bunch of ignorant fishermen!”? Wrong, WRong, WROng, WRONg, WRONG!!!! GOD IS THE ANCIENT OF DAYS. HE…..
RECENTLY WE BOUGHT A NEW PUPPY. I named her Tina. Tina’s a terrier mix. She’s beautiful of course! Her tail is unlike a pure terrier pup; its fur is feathery and the tail curves like one huge question mark! Interesting to note: her tail wags to the left and our fawn pug’s tail, Rocky, wags to the right. God is so creative. Creation is created by the Creator! Selah. Puppies are a whole lot of work, loving work. You do…..
TIP #13… AN EXCELLENT TIP NOT ENDORSED ENOUGH! When your wife re-visits an issue you don’t want her to… tell her. Titus 3:1-2 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.
PSALM 139 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can…..
The best answer to that hateful commentary… “Holier than thou?” “You can be holy too!” Romans 2:8-11 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show…..
SOME OF THE SWEETEST WORDS… “That’s my fault.” Proverbs 24:26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
WHEN YOU ARE FRUSTRATED that your children don’t call you back to confirm dinner dates and activities… hand that duty over to your husband. Ephesians 4:1-6 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called…..
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. That’s my King! It’s interesting… when the wicked want to do some of their heavy-duty swearing what do they most usually say? No way will…..
