What are your feelings about eating meat?
I don’t want veggie burgers . I ate a pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich yesterday and you can’t do that with tofu. 😊
Many things in our world are broken. Our relationships with each other and with other nations fall into this area of brokenness. The news doesn’t report this because it would hurt people’s feelings today. The evidence is in every report even though it isn’t pointed out.
Why is our world broken? Because we have broken it. Our relationship with God has been broken for a long time and the effect of that has spread all over the world. God is allowing all of this brokenness because of the time that we are living in. Some people can see this because they believe in God’s Word which foretells most of what we see and hear in the news today.
What does this mean to America or any other Christian nation today? Read Ezekiel 38 and compare it to what is happening in the Middle East. God is in control of this and very soon the world will see His hand in this. I pray that anyone reading this will seriously seek to know Jesus as your Savior.
Augustine was an early church father/preacher who wrote and taught many things in his lifetime. One of the opening sentences of his writings is this paragraph of The Confessions of Augustine, which acknowledges, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” (Confessions, 1,1.) Only in God is found the final happiness of any person.
This is a teaching and a truth I have written about myself that I learned through the Holy Spirit as I read the Bible over the last ten years. God reveals His wisdom and truth to us as we read and study His Word…if we seek His wisdom and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us. I am not bragging that I learned this because of Augustine but that it surprised me today as I was reading about him. God’s Word is the best book of Wisdom in the world because it comes from Him. There is no “human wisdom” contained in it because all that is written in it was inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Seek to know Jesus as your Savior through your study of His Word and ask Him to come into your heart and cleanse you while you study. He will give you the joy and peace that you have been searching for that can’t be found in schools or jobs or in any endeavor that we engage in daily.
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
If I didn’t need to sleep, I would read the Bible every night. Reading it is the only way to know God’s will. You can’t know Him or His will without reading it and asking God to show you what He wants to say to you. I’ve read it every year since 2011 and I find new information every time. Sometimes a verse will tell you one thing and the next time you read it there will be a little different bit of information.
That doesn’t mean that God’s Word is not true, it is the Holy Spirit that teaches you and me when we read it prayerfully. Seeking God’s wisdom is the only reason to read the Bible. That’s what I would do with the extra time if I didn’t need sleep.
In the world that all of us live in today, these two words are hard to find and even harder to know if you can or even know either one. The media doesn’t really lend itself in either area and our government hasn’t had our trust or given us the truth in so long that I’m not sure they even know how.
The only real Truth is in God’s Word. Since it is God’s Word we can trust it and Him to be truthful in His promises and in His covenants as well. I am putting this out here to get some other opinions so let me have them, good or bad.
Who are your current most favorite people?
I’m not talking about just my wife and my son. My daughter in law has been a wonderful wife to my son. My in-laws are wonderful, loving people. But my family doesn’t end there. The people I go to church with are also my family. We worship together, we cry with each other when there’s sorrow and we praise the Lord when a prayer is answered. These are my favorite people. I pray that you have some like them too.
What are your favorite animals?
I found out 18 years ago that they are the most loyal and loving of companions I want in my life, besides my wife of 31 years 🥰.
According to the Bible and the prophecies He was/is Immanuel…God came here to be one of us! He was a human for the life that He lived while He lived with His human parents. Was He God? Yes, He was and is God the Son. He laid His divinity down and became one of His creations, the people that He loved and still loves more than His life.
While He was here in the flesh of mankind He felt everything that we feel during our lives. He felt hunger, thirst, sadness, weariness, love and anger. Yet He did not sin in all of His human feelings. He did this not because He had to but because He LOVED us! This is the same reason that He died on the cross and rose again on the third day! I pray that anyone who needs a Savior will seek to know Him while there is time to call on Him and then answer His call that comes back to us. He wants to know you, even though He already does. He wants to be involved in your life daily so please don’t push His call away like some telemarketer.
