This is my dad!!! Good job dad!!

Listening from South Africa Thank you for a very deep message Much appreciated Plenty of food for thought! We so greatly need the guidance of the Holy Spirit Create in me a clean heart Father

Pastor says rightly--Let's look at ourselves, our conduct. I say God created what's called Karma (as you do to others, life returns same, eventually, to you). I say bad karma hurts ourself: we spend far too much time getting not very far when we've failed to treat others politely, how We would want to be treated. God created into destinies---blowback. I'm careful how I speak at God, now without anger over being orphaned, renamed, stolen age 2. Humility I've learned and needed to be a better leader, if God allows.

This is one of those fall-asleep sermons!

If you check this new thing called maps, you'll see that during the entire estimated time frame for shis supposed Exodus two things were true. 1) Egypt OWNED Canaan so in effect, the Hebrews didn't leave Egypt at all. 2) Egypt has a continuous dynastic record that doesn't have any breaks in it. Yes, they might not have written it down, but you can bet your bippy their ENEMIES would have. And there's no record of that or of incursion when the country was left detonated. So--sorry. NEVER happened. The entire story is the wet dream of a small insignificant and probably smelly group of livestock herders in the Southwest Asian desert.

Pfft... that's an understatement.

That’s a hoot! “Honor my name” Wouldn’t it help if you first knew who God is, so as to be able to know his name?

Honor yourself bc if you don't no one will Be Thankful for a blessed body and beautiful face many people wish they had

As crestons wife if people would have boundaries and gave more tough love to people who are selfish and treated them like God did like the prodigal son whether they are your child or not there would be less selfishness enablers are as bad as the selfish people for allowing it stop enabling them codependent people detach from them let them learn on their own look at their track record the past and the present will tell you alot about who they are let them take of themselves if they are selfish Jesus gave tough love to the people in the temple so did God with the prodigal son we are not to keep helping selfish people let them go

As crestons wife we have to protect ourselves from people who are all about them Jesus said don't cast your pearls before swine and come out and be separated and don't fellowship with people who are not Christians because they will tear you down

As crestons wife I don't have time for selfish people as adults Jesus said don't cast your pearls before swine I don't have time for selfish people they know who they really are but they won't admit they will blame you and else for what happened that they caused they blame the cops etc nothing is their fault ever stay away from them you can't help people like that let them fall on their butts it doesn't matter if they are friends family or inlaws don't enable them it will make it worse for you. Even if it's your own kids treat them like the prodigal son your children will devour you if you don't give them tough love is that what you want if it happens blame your self you caused it to happen by not giving them tough love when they needed it

To the extent that singleness is a gift, it is a cross-shaped gift. The truth is that unwanted, pro-longed singleness is a serious, painful, and exhausting trial that few, save those who live it, truly understand. To endure it, one must always keep their gaze on Christ. I always think of how Peter walked on water so long as his eyes were firmly set on Christ. The moment he took his gaze off Christ, he began to sink. Likewise, the moment we take our eyes off Christ is the moment we begin to sink into the depths of sadness, loneliness, bitterness, envy, sinfulness due to sexual frustration, and anger. Always we must keep our eyes fixed on Christ and draw closer to Him. It is a common misconception, not to mention an overblown cliche, that "the free time of singleness" allows for a person to have "undistracted devotion to God" and a "radical approach to service," as if dropping kids off at school or taking a walk with your spouse means you are a less devoted Christian. Well, regardless of that, I cannot think of more invasive, unending, unrelenting, and painful distractions than sexual frustration without respite or loneliness without comfort. Frankly, the "distractions" of marriage pale in comparison. This misconception is born from a lack of experience seeing as it is most often asserted by those who were either married early in their lives or those who have not yet experienced the trial of truly pro-longed singleness. It would not be hyperbolic to suggest that 99% of pastors, Christian UA-camrs, and people engaged in mission work are ... you guessed it .... married. Indeed, most of them are married quite early. It is rare indeed to see any pastor actually take Paul up on his advice. So evidently "free time" and "undistracted devotion" is not as important to serving the kingdom as we think? Does that make any sense to anyone? Pastors, in particular, are chosen by God for a unique and central role in His church. They minister to the flock of believers and guide them in their understanding of and growing in the truth of the Word. The stronger the pastor, the stronger the church; the weaker the pastor, the weaker the church. If anyone should be wholly devoted to God's work without the "cares or burdens" of a spouse, it should be pastors, according to this thinking. But we all know that is rarely if ever the case. Why is that? No one ever tells a pastor he'd be better off single .... they only say it to older singles who are struggling with their singleness. I have even heard pastors say that young pastors should seek out a spouse so that, in having a God-blessed and God-ordained marriage within which sexual intimacy is both possible and cherished, the desires of the flesh can be properly directed. Go figure. For all the preaching on singleness that surrounds 1st Corinthians 7, the first few verses of that chapter are rarely, if ever, addressed. That being said, I would say that there is truth in the idea that singleness can and should bring a person closer to Christ, but not in the way inexperienced people think there is. The "free time of singleness" does not drive a person closer to Christ; the pain of singleness does. Years upon years without the blessing, joy, and comfort of a loving, God-ordained spouse with whom to share affection, love, trials, friendship, and sexual intimacy amounts to an afflicted existence, in all seriousness. Yes, Christ is all we need. Yes, God is sovereign. Yes, God uses afflictions to teach, guide, and mature us. Recognizing these truths, however, does not alleviate the pain of prolonged, unwanted singleness, even if it does place that pain in the proper, spiritual context. Can it be a "gift?" Certainly it can. It is a gift for others and for the kingdom of God with regards to whatever work the Lord would have a person do in their singleness. And certainly, we must obediently walk whatever path the Lord calls us to walk. Yet as is often the case when serving God in obedience, there is pain. Even the gracious, merciful, loving, and amazing gift of salvation came at the price of sacrifice and suffering in the form of Christ on the cross. So the "gift" of singleness can be a blessing, yes. But it will also result in lonely nights, no family of your own, the lack of the affection and companionship of a spouse, and also the seemingly endless and maddeningly frustrating battle for sexual purity for which there is no release and expression that is not categorically sinful. I say this not in a negative way, because I do believe we must be content and find joy in whatever circumstance the Lord places us. But as the years go on, the "gift" of singleness becomes a trial and battle of an entirely different nature and intensity, rest assured. Do not mistake me. I am not questioning God. I have no doubt that God is good and sovereign and desires what is best for His children. But C.S. Lewis said it best when he wrote, "we are not necessarily doubting that God will do what is best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be." And for anyone dealing with truly prolonged, unwanted singleness/celibacy, it is like picking up a bloody cross and following Christ. But He did, after all, say that true discipleship would be like that.
