I am a Christian

I feel the need to say something. I am a Christian. Among other things that means I am trying to follow the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles, as given to us in the New Testament. Please take time to read it. It's a short book, not much bigger than the average Louis L'amour book. Whether you believe in God or not these teachings can transform your life and our country. If you haven't read the New Testament, all the way through, you may be very deceived about how we Christians are supposed to be living. The fact that I fail sometimes, okay, maybe a lot, doesn't take away from the great truths found in Jesus and the New Testament.  These truths are all wrapped up in one giant package called, LOVE.

STRONG WOMEN

A strong woman provides a stable loving home for her family.  She raises Godly moral children and is a helpmate for her husband; helping him be a Godly husband and father; a man of character.  She joyfully gives of her time, herself and her love.  The saddest day in a persons life is when we outgrow our mother's lap.

Women of America beware of your pride and arrogance; it will be your downfall.  We men have fallen far from our created role.  Truly strong women are helping us get back on track, not usurping and condemning us.

Gods will will be done.  Like it or not, believe it or not!

Weather Madness

Oh that the clouds would part, giving way for sunlight to relieve my tormented mind...The unfairness, sunlight traveling ninety-three million miles, only to be stopped a few thousand feet from my house by a layer of clouds.

UNFORGIVENESS

by Derek Prince

I pointed out on the basis of The Lord’s Prayer and several other passages of the New Testament this vital principle that we can only claim forgiveness from God in the same measure that we forgive other people. In The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus said, “Forgive us our trespasses [or our debts] as we forgive those who trespass against us.” He tied us down to not expecting forgiveness from God in a greater proportion than we forgive others.

And then you remember, we looked at the story—the unforgiving servant—the parable, who was forgiven a tremendous debt of six million dollars but refused to forgive a fellow servant a petty debt of 17 dollars. And we saw three great lessons. First of all, that unforgiveness is wickedness. Secondly, that our failure to forgive provokes God’s anger. And thirdly, that our failure to forgive causes God to deliver us to the tormentors.

And I pointed out that many, many professing Christians today are in the hands of tormentors. They’re undergoing various kinds of torments—the physical torment of arthritis or ulcers or migraine. The mental torment of confusion and fear. Spiritual torment sometimes of accusations of Satan that God hasn’t really forgiven them or they’re not really saved or they’ve committed the unforgivable sin. I’ve met Christians in so many different kinds of torments. And I’ve learned by experience and from Scripture that many times the reason that they are in the hands of the tormentors is that they have failed to forgive others.

Now when confronted with this requirement that we have to forgive others as we want God to forgive us, I’ve often heard people say, “I can’t forgive.” But this arises from a misunderstanding of the nature of forgiveness. Forgiveness is not an emotion; it’s a decision. You can’t work up the emotion, but you can make the decision. This means that you can forgive if you know how.
