Today's Children are under Attack!

Someone sent this to me and I must say that I couldn't state this any better.
Today's kids are under such an attack to compromise and to be "accepting" of others, but not just in a "walking in love way" in a way that completely violates the word of God! We have to many of the so called "seeker-friendly" churches, shoving the whole "walking in love" and "not judging people" down our throats... yes, we need to walk in love, but we need to follow the example that Jesus himself set before us... He walked in love by saving people from a path of destruction, He didn't say "you're ok just the way you are, go on living life just as you are because I love you" NO! He said "go and sin no more!!!!"... He threw the people out of the temple who were undoing the Holiness of the temple and were using it to do sinful acts, etc. Does this sound like the "love" that these "seeker-friendly" groups are propogating??

ISLAM... a peaceful religion?

ISLAM.... a peaceful religion? You decide....
Many of you probably know my opinion on this subject, but i didn't want to just state my opinions i wanted to show you what the muslims actually believe... i personally know people in my church who were muslims about a year ago and came into the church and got saved and shared what they were taught as muslims and what happened when their families found out that they had become Christian.... anyway that's another story... but here are quotes directly from the Qur'an... decide for yourself....

Can't Hide Behind a Religious Mask


Can't Hide Behind a Religious Mask

I love both of these two translations of the verses below. It really makes you evaluate your life and make sure nothing is out of place and it also sticks with you ... I've just really been thinking about this kind of stuff- it seems hypocrisy has become almost a thriving trend in some circles, i have seen so many young people become masters at being hypocrites- they are perfect Christians and then nights and weekends are their times to act like the rest of the world, violating the purity of their bodies that was given to them from God as a treasure to cherish and save for the right time but they have fallen into a trap of perverting something that is meant to be beautiful.

The Love of GOD: How we, as Christians, should act.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NKJV
I wanted to start with these verses because they are basically the foundation for what I am writing. I think that today so many Christians miss such a basic message in the Bible~ the message of love. One of the commandments Jesus gave us was to love our neighbors, friends and enemies, as we love ourselves. But I have seen so many people put their personal opinions and beliefs above loving others, instead of having a reputation for being loving, kind, and honorable people, we are seen as uncaring, rude, hypocrites. This just breaks my heart.

Take a Stand

Ok I didn't write this, but i TOTALLY agree with it!!!!

This was a post written by my younger sister...

Subject: on my mind.....
Body: okay, so here's what I've been thinking lately.

"I was reading my Bible and I came across a part in Acts where Stephen was killed. I had read it before but it never registered to me. I was just in awe. Stephen was not afraid to do miracles even when people were opposing him. One of the reasons he was able to do these things was he was full of faith and he was full of the Holy Spirit. Another thing that amazes me is that even after he was arrested...he still preached to the very people who had the power to kill him. He condemned them in their sin of refusing Jesus and disobeying the law. For this they stoned him, but...here is what really gets me... Stephen asked the Lord to not count the sin against the men stoning him. (this is in Acts 6 and 7)

How great was Stephen's love and faith and strength through Jesus. Even as he was dying for his Savior he was full of love. Why can't we be more like Stephen? Instead of standing up to sinfulness...we have been backing down. Instead of telling to minorities who are against God and everything else Christian to shut up we take their junk. What is wrong with us? Why are we so scared? We need to rise up and take our stand. We need to take a stand on the Rock of our salvation. Why are we actually sanctioning homosexual marriages (when the Bible clearly is against this)...why are we allowing doctors to daily kill thousands of unborn children (when the Bible is also against this)...why are we allowing people to take away our freedoms? If we live in a free country then we should be free to speak our opinion. Why is it that Christians are the ones who have the hardest time in politics? Because there aren't enough Christians with enough back bone to stand up for what is right. I am encouraging everyone who calls himself a Christian and believes that the Bible is true in everything to take a stand no matter how small it will matter.

Thank you for reading this if you actually took the time."

Hello

I will be adding a few old blogs to this account that I feel are very relevant and just as important now as they were when they were originally written.
