Although God Loves Us Unconditionally, He Does Get Angry At Sin, Wickedness And Evil. But He Is Not An Angry God. God Hates Sin, But He Loves Sinners! He Will Never Approve Of Sin In Your Life, But He Always Loves You And Wants To Work With You To Make Progress In Living A Holy Life In Christ.

There Are Many Things That Happen Every Day That We Could Murmur About If We Let Ourselves Go There. But They Really Aren't Worth The Effort It Takes To Get Upset And Gripe About It.

If You Are A Believer Married To An Unbeliever I Want To Tell You That The Greatest Witness That You Can Be To Them Is To Try To Be The Same All The Time. Don't Let The Way They Act Control You.

Thoughts On Life

When An Injustice Happens, We Want To Be Vindicated. People Feel That If They Forgive The Person Who Hurt Them, Then They Will Continue To Take Advantage Of Them Or Not Take Responsibility For What They Did Wrong. If We're Honest, We'll Admit That We Usually Want The Person Who Hurt Us To Pay For What They Did. We Can't Get Past This Until We Get The Revelation That Only God Can Pay Us Back. He Is Our Vindicator - He Will Heal And Restore Us If We Will Trust Him And Forgive Our Enemies As He Has Told Us To Do.

Satan Gains More Ground In The Believer's Life Through Unforgiveness Than Any Other Thing, So Be Sure You Let Go Of All Offense And Pray For Those Who Have Hurt You.

Refuse To Let Your Love Grow Cold. Stir Up Love In Your Life - Towards Your Spouse And Towards Your Family, Friends, Neighbours, Co-workers. Reach Out To Others Who Are Hurting And In Need.

And I Think There Are Literally Millions Of People Who Miss The Will Of God For Their Life Because They Think Little Things Don't Make Any Difference.

In My Relationship With God, I've Learned That If I Follow A 'formula' For How I Spend My Time With Him, Then I'm Just Accomplishing A Checklist Of Things I Feel Obligated To Do To Please Him. This Makes My Spiritual Life More About Doing What I Need To Do To Fulfill An Obligation Than Something Meaningful.

Compromise Means To Go Just A Little Bit Below What You Know Is Right. It's Just A Little Bit, But It's The Little Foxes That Spoil The Vine.

The Devil Will Give Up When He Sees That You Are Not Going To Give In.

I'm Just Telling You, God Permits Things In Our Lives Sometimes For Reasons That We Do Not Understand Yet Because Of The Spiritual Level That We're On. We Can't Have Any Understanding Of It, Because We're Not At A Place Of Spiritual Growth Yet Where We Understand The Deeper Things Of God.

You Can Have Jesus In Your Spirit And An Outrgeous Mess In Your Soul, And If You Don't Know What That's Called It's Called Religion. That's What It's Called Dead Dry Religion......jesus Said You Are A Bunch Of White Washed Tombs Full Of Dead Men's Bones, And I Tell You If That Didn't Describe Me I Don't Know What Did, Because On Sunday Mornings I Dressed It Up And Took It To Church.

My Father Was A Mean, Controlling And Manipulative Person For Most Of His Life. He Was Unpredictable And Unstable.

If You Want To Be Unhappy, Uncomfortable, And Insecure, Just Spend Your Life Trying To Do Something That Is Not Right For You. It Is Just Like Trying To Wear Shoes That Don't Fit.

If I Have To Build A Big Company By Mistreating Other People Then The Bible Says Woe To Me. I Don't Know What That Is, But I Don't Want Any Of It.

If You Want The Great And Mighty Things God Has For You, You Must Get To The Root Of Anger And Deal With It. Get Rid Of The Masks And Face The Things That Happened In Your Life That Made You The Way You Are Today. Admit That You Can't Change By Yourself. Until The Root Is Removed, It'll Continue To Produce One Bad Fruit After Another.
