Judgment Day!

Upon reading the Word, I truly can learn from our ancestors of how they truly followed the Divine example of Jesus Christ in all of His ways and actions! Every day I get a revelation of something I have previously read; however, God reveals it to me when He knows my spiritual maturity is at another level to obtain the true meaning! I know many of you have heard people say, “Don’t judge me”! I did not realize how powerful judgment is in the Bible; and how serious it is that we misuse it and abuse it! Know this, “judgment” is authorized to only one being – Jesus Christ to determine our fate when we leave this earth and His judgment is determined by the good deeds we do unto others; if you don't, then you will be judged! Opportunities arise daily for us to give, help, clothe, feed, shelter, even smile, but we are so timid and fleshly (meaning, easily offended and self absorbed) that we either cuss them out or call them names behind their back. And some take it a step further,...

Afterthought!

So what qualities are you looking for in a potential wife or husband? Seriously think about that question before you answer it! Those who are born again believers should not hesitate or stumble with an answer! I t’s becoming more and more prevalent in our society that we do not consider the words “Love ” and “Commitment”! The word I am going to use, I feel, is how the world chooses a mate is “Lust”! We look at the outer appearance and have no knowledge of what lurks inside! It’s like taking a beautiful piece of fruit, and once you cut it open, the inside has rotted! True beauty radiates from the inside out!  My son, be attentive to my Wisdom [godly Wisdom learned by actual and costly experience], and incline your ear to my understanding [of what is becoming and prudent for you], 2  That you may exercise proper discrimination   and discretion and your lips may guard   and   keep knowledge   and   the wise answer [to temptation]. 3...

Under Construction!

I know there are many women and men who watch Home and Garden Television (HGTV). I do and there are several episodes I thoroughly enjoy such as Fixer Upper, Property Brothers, Rehab Addict, 5 Day Fix, and some new ones that have just surfaced. Of the ones mentioned, the homes require extensive renovating to meet the buyers’ needs! Once demolition begins, it exposes years of neglect, improper installation of electrical, plumbing and foundation issues; that if not revealed could cause the owner twice as much damage and money down the road! There are also issues such as asbestos, termites, mold, and bee and wasp nest lurking too!  Personally, anything hidden for a long period will eventually be exposed to the light; and for good reason! It could be demolished because it is such an eyesore, or restored, because there is still hope! A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the...
