Kissing is good for the soul! Don’t believe me? God says I’m right. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love is more delightful than wine. Song of Solomon 1:2
CULTURAL SENSITIVITY IN THIS DAY AND AGE WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT cultural sensitivity as if we have to get along with everyone; as if we have to approve of everybody’s lifestyle. God doesn’t… First of all, why then is there a Heaven and a Hell? “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me…..
ONE OF THE QUALITIES I love about myself is my refusal to give up when I know what I’m supposed to do! The Bible denotes perseverance as constancy, endurance, a patient enduring. It is the characteristic of a man who is not swerved. He has deliberate purpose and loyalty to his faith. There is piety even regarding his greatest of trials, his sufferings. This is cute: I even had difficulty spelling and writing p-e-r-s-e-v-e-r-a-n-c-e! Some words you type are much…..
Idea: When those you know are sinners, the kind that groan, moan and complain, gossip, badmouth, swear, use God’s name like a dirty rag — and then have the nerve to say: “Good morning.” YOU SAY: “IT IS!” WHY? BECAUSE: YOU KNOW these kind of folks are not having a good morning! They can’t! They are not inviting God into their morning! Pray they see you’re not accepting their lie; pray they receive the Holy Spirit’s conviction – because their…..
AMERICA’S CHRISTIANS are no more loved by God than other Christians. America’s Christians also undergo persecution, seemingly being mocked… We Christians born and bred in America might have to choose between a certain type of employment or putting God first in our lives. Breathe. Take a breath! Now is a good time to meditate on these two specific truths: What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone…..
A twisted mind…. can be straightened out! The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness,and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind…..
AS A YOUNG GIRL AND LATER ON, AS A TEENAGER, I WAS TOLD sometimes: “Ann Marie, you wear your heart on your sleeve…” The impression I got about this was bad, that it was not good to let anyone know how I was feeling, what I may be thinking according to the smile, grin, scowl, look of timidity or anger seemingly reflecting in my face, my body language… Remember, I did not have godly parents. I really…..
OF COURSE YOU DO! GET MORE WISDOM! Below Psalm 111 is listed for you to live by, not skim over… As I listen to many different kinds of people… many different attitudes… many different beliefs… many different opinions… I NOTICE the uniformed, those unbelieving in Christ, the ignorant and all liars have some very similar traits: INTERRUPTIONS are one of their tactics. They use interruptions to attempt to take the person’s mind off any certain subject. SIDETRACKING is another……
JUNE! JUNE!! JUNE!!! A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN HERE IN MINNESOTA IN JUNE! Graduations are a big thing here: many folks have what’s called ‘an open house’ – that’s a party to celebrate a graduation with food, CAKE! and gifts… A good time can be had be all when the cause is right. Weddings are HUGE in Minnesota June: I really can’t figure why (Smile!) most people opt for warm, calm…..
THIS MORNING I HEARD SOME WOMAN ON THE NEWS TALKING OF SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES FOR US: LET’S GET THIS STRAIGHT!…. No child of God lost is life in battle! Children of God are never lost; and as they die they are taken to their Creator… No sir! The man of God did not lose his life — he gave it! And he gave it willingly! In this day in American history, May 29, 2017, we acknowledge –…..
