It Takes Two To Talk

"Confusion" "Conflicts" and "Miscommunication" always happen when you go and talk to everybody but the person you have questions for or about.

I learned in life that if you was going to be a friend, be a great family member, a awesome church member and a exceptional minster of the gospel, you would have to do two things---communicate when needed and ignore the lies and rumors of those that don't at all times.

"Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame."

Despised and Rejected

“He was despised and rejected by mankind” (Isa. 53:3).

Jesus came to save all men...and yet was rejected, beaten and ridiculed and you crying cause they talking about you?

My Mom told us as little children, babies, people gone talk and when you talked about you thought about, so understand now, you must be doing something right because folks don't pay you attention unless you are.

So today, I stopped by to tell somebody,hold your head up and know that all you have gone through, you going through now and what you yet to go through has a purpose---not just for you but as a example for someone else that if God could hold you up, keep you sane and help you prosper despite the odds, He can do the same for them.

You don't have to boast or brag, lie nor cheat and definitely not be deceiving, saying one thing and doing another----for people can see God's favor without you saying one word!

"Love’s redeeming work is done, fought the fight, the battle won. Death in vain forbids him rise; Christ has opened paradise."--Charles Wesley

Your Marriage is Not Their Business

Relationship Matters: A lot of people lose the respect of their love ones because they sometimes can be too busy trying to be everything to everyone else and forget that charity begins at home and then is spread abroad. Shower your mate with care and affection before you try to do so to the world!!!

Your marriage and it's problems is nobody's business but yours, your spouse and God---too many homes tore up because even the Pastor said! Moma said! Daddy said! My friend said!!!! What's more important----What is God saying?

Don't lie and say He said leave and you know He didn't----God is not the author of confusion-----and when two unsaved people get married, one should not get saved and start talking about you now are now unequally yoked--- Paul said: To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.

Scripture exhorts women married to unbelievers to “be submissive to your husband so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives” (1 Peter 3:1-2, NASB).

Here are some character traits that may have a profound effect upon your husband’s spirituality: 

1. Be a Woman of Purity:--One of the ways we can be pure – and separated from the rest of the world – is to not have a critical or argumentative spirit. 

Philippians 2:14-15 says: “Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life… ”

(Philippians 2:14-16).   Philippians 2:15 says a person who does all things without grumbling or complaining will “shine like stars in the nighttime sky” (NASB).

Don't let it sadly be said this of you

Don't let it sadly be said this of you: Philippians 3:19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
