Sometimes our love is misunderstood! Sadly the love that requires change and effort, is the one that is the most neglected.
We forgo loving the tough love in favor of personal happiness.
No one grows in holiness this way, they merely struggle along, with plastic smiles hoping everyone they encounter will love them, but they love no one and they help no one, at least in the most important ways.

Narcissists are Babies with Attitude
Next time a liberal rages at you, or a narcissistic family member engages in tactics to undermine you, remember liberals hate to lose control over others. They are narcissists, they exact revenge when they do not get their own way.
2 Timothy 3:12-14 "…12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you learned them.…"

Murder and Theft are Sins Against God
On another thread someone wondered if it was alright to commit abortion if all babies go to heaven, here was my answer to that, which by the way has crossed the minds of many people.
My Answer:
"I am convinced all babies go to heaven, but that does not make it alright for someone else to commit murder by killing them. All born again believers go to heaven too, but that does not make it alright for people to kill a Christian.
A baby who is murdered will go to heaven, but if someone else takes their life, that someone will be guilty of murder.
It's akin to the argument that if a man steals from rich people who have insurance, it would be alright to steal from rich people. EXCEPT that stealing and murder are sins against God, the outcome is not relevant, only that someone is a murderer or a thief."

Truth Over Emotions
People who live by their emotions believe emotions are truth which justifies them. They don't realize that emotions often lie to us, they say we are right when we are wrong, they say we are wrong when we are right AND, they are easily manipulated by the responses of others, rather than truth.
The More We Understand The More It Hurts
Ecclesiastes 1:17-18 "…17 And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realized that this also is striving after wind. 18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain."
The more we understand the more sorrow and pain we experience.
The more we understand the more sorrow and pain we experience.
Come Quickly Lord...PLEASE!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
I don't even expect good sense in anyone any more. It seems that the entire culture is living in a world of pretend.
The bullies and brats are thinking all they have to do is have a tantrum, say anything they want and everyone is suppose to bow to them.
Getting sick of all this foolishness, Lord comes quickly please.
Revelation 22:20 ". 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.…"

Parents Stopped Fighting for Control
When parents began to be told they had no say in the education of their own children, the parents turned it all over to the government, this is the reason "values" are being taught in school by a government that largely has few if any values.
In the beginning of "public education" the schools were controlled by the school board made up of the parents of the children who attended. The parents even hired and fired the teachers that would educate their children.
The parents were the ones who made the decisions about the school, while determining curriculum for their own children.
The problem came when the school board began to be made up of strangers imported and mandated by the government, while the parents no longer had a say in anything.

Want to be Intelligent?
Want to be intelligent?
Seek God for wisdom, that is the only way to correctly use the knowledge that we have.
Intelligence is not based on how much we know, but how we use what we know.
Sadly we live in a culture of young people under age 45 who think they know everything even though they have experienced far less than their parents and grandparents.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 "1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.…"
Proverbs 1:7
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Colossians 2
"You Are Built Up in Christ
1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face,
2 that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth [b]that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself,
3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument."
1 Corinthians 1:25
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
Job 12:12 "12 Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?"
Psalm 37:30 "30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just."
Proverbs 1:7 '7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
