IN RESPONSE..

 In Roman16:17-20)
17 Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. 18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19 For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil. 20 And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.s it says, "

The wolves are creeping in.  In fact now that this Amendment one in North Carolina has passed, the wolves are being wolves!  They are heads of congregations too.  It is so saddening and bringing out anger.  Satan loves anger and rage.  Christians should not fight back.  Those who voted against are very upset and they are being hateful saying that those who voted "for" are for hate and that we are teaching our children hate.  Not true.  Everything we Christians do is based on what God has taught us.  Sin is not OK.  Never!  God has rules and we are to follow them.  If you go against God's rules your life will have turmoil.  Sex is for after marriage.  If everyone did as God said, there would not be all this controversy with unmarried couples and their children born out of wedlock.  They can turn their attitudes around and find this love that they are preaching that everyone is supposed to have.  They can turn their eyes upon Jesus and he will take care of them. 

Yes, God is all about Love.  He sent Jesus to die for us out of love.  But God is also vengful to those who dont accept His Son.  He is also vengful to those who disobey his "rules" 


This amendment has split up families and friends.    They are just blind and dont understand.  We can just pray as Jesus did when he was on the cross.  "Forgive them for they know not what they do." 
So how can we be angry with them?  It is not their fault that they are chasing the wrong thing. 

I just get so upset when they attack those who do understand.  We know the truth.  And if we did vote the wrong way, God can take a bad thing and turn it in to a good thing.

Manners

What has happened to this thing called Manners or Good ediquette??  When a person gets an invitation, they should RSVP.  Respond Very Promply (I think)    Another thing that is bugging me is why do people think they dont have to do anything and that everyone owes them.  They are very self minded.  They dont show happiness for anyone else but when good things happen to them they expect everyone to just flock and celebrate with them.  They also dont say thank you for gifts they are given.

Ok! Enough

It is so sad that there is so much conflict.  People disagreeing about almost EVERYTHING!  I am not going to go into the mess that North Carolina is in right now because of the Amendment one situation.  Then there is the Time Magazine with the breast fed child and his mom on the cover.  Oh my goodness, people are in an uproar about that.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But dont put others down for what their opinion is.  It is ok for a woman to give her child mommy milk.  There is a limit, though.  I dont think 2 or 3 is to old.  A woman can choose how long she wants to nurse her baby.  Everyone is different.  If you disagree and it has nothing to do with sinful behavior, then just be silent.  You dont have to agree.  God made woman to feed her babies.  The Bible says to be peaceful.  You can point out a sin but do it with love and not anger.  If a the sinful person doesnt listen..so what.  Dont take it personally.   Of course this is an area I need to work on.  I take everything personally and I dont like conflict at all.  It take me a while to get over insults.  This is my weakness.  I cant just shrug off hurtful things that are said to me.  God is working with me on this.  I have come a long way in not lashing out in anger or RAGE!  I now try to walk away. Or I  tell myself that, "They do not know what they do."   I just take it to the Lord and he gives me peace.

Confused or Paranoid

Maybe I am trying to hard.  Too hard at what??  At being a Christian.  I think I understand it all and that I am doing well, then someone says something and I think the comment was directed at me.   Or is this paranoia?  All I know is that I am tired of feeling self conscious.  Self..maybe that is the word.  I am focusing on myself.   I am trying to not let this court judgement thing overwhelm me.  The court says I have to pay.  The lier won.  It is not fair.  I want to to the right thing in God's eyes.  What do I do?  Lord, What do I do??   I dont have any money.  I owe so much money.  so many doctor bills.  I want to do what is right.  I dont want to be sinful.  The Bible says to "BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD!"   So I will do nothing right now and be still and focus on God.,  Pray and Read the Holy Scriptures.
