Affairs and divorce seem to be common among Christians these days, and I have some ramblings I want to share with you about them. As soon as people have a problem in their marriage, instead of trying to fix things, they go straight into filing for a divorce. Keep on reading to hear my ramblings, though. In order to do this properly, I am going to tell a fake story with fake names, but with many truthful facts that are…
Churches today seem to have lost their desire for children and no longer encourage their members to have children, which is sad since God tells us that children are blessings from Him. One woman asked the women in the chat room if any of our churches encourage childbearing. Lindsay Harold responded, “Our church has a lot of families with several kids, but rarely have I heard a pastor encourage families to have more children, and I certainly never heard them…
How can we be angry and not sin? The Bible commands that we do not sin in our anger:Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath (Ephesians 4:26). A few verses later it tells us NOT to be angry: Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice (Ephesians 4:31). There are so many other verses about being at peace with all…
Written By Ken Alexander The Law and Grace cannot co-exist even as Christianity often times tries to make the two do so. Standing firmly on God’s Word is our goal and yet it is as hard to do as riding a horse bareback. You can ride a long way at times tightly to the mane of your stallion, but it is almost impossible to get up the hills and through the woods without getting knocked off a couple times and…
Shirali Mislimov of Azerbaidzhan, U.S.S.Rallegedly lived to be 168 years old and died in 1973. In researching his life, I found some interesting things. Now, I’m not interested in living that long but I do try to live as healthy as I can while I live. Yes, there are some things that have happened to me beyond what I could prevent like head and neck trauma that most likely caused my brain tumor and needing a neck fusion. But we…
Many people use the verse in Ephesians 5:21 to explain that husbands and wives are supposed to be mutually submissive. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. I have heard this from the pulpit, from books, blogs, speakers, and teaching preachers on the radio. My question is how can that work in marriage when wives are commanded to submit to their husbands multiple times and husbands are never directly commanded to submit to their wives? I decided…
Ever since I had my second son thirty two years ago, I have been home full time except for a few teacher substituting jobs one year. I love being home full time and it’s all I’ve ever wanted. I love never having to wake up to an alarm. If I’ve had a rough night of sleep or can’t sleep, I don’t worry about it because I know I don’t have to go to a job in the morning. I love…
Danish people are supposedly the happiest people on earth, or so “they” say. Denmark is a socialist country, so the taxes are high and the government is large. Here is what Helen Russell, who loves living there, wrote in her article called What Living Danishly Taught Me About Happiness. (You must sign up to get the first magazine with the article in it for free.) “Most Danes don’t mind paying taxes of 50 percent or more, because there’s a trust…
During my thirty six years of married life, I have read many marriage books. Even when we had a difficult marriage, I would be searching and reading for answers to our marriage problems. Now, I understand clearly why most marriage books didn’t help me. There’s one I’m reading now and it is written by a woman but she writes to men, too. She explains a wife’s role and then a husband’s role in marriage. I am often told that I…
“Satan knows how to deceive her. She has a questioning spirit and a seducing spirit. ‘Hath God said…?’ (Genesis 3:1). There is confusion from women leaving their supportive role as a mother and seeking a career with devastating results.” These words were spoken by Denny Kenaston in his sermon “The Hidden Woman.” Women question God’s Word constantly. They don’t want to do God’s will for their lives so they listen to women preachers/teachers/bloggers/writers that tickle their ears. These female preachers…
