Children Shall Rule Them
Has anyone noticed that children seem to rule this nation and their families, in various ways?
How many families have we met in which the children call all the shots. When they don't get their way they have a tantrum and the parents immediately give them what they want to stop the tantrum, instead of disciplining them to teach them respect rather than self indulgence.
We see the consequences of this mentality of lack of training in our culture every day. We see young children slapping their own parents in the face while the parent giggles in embarrassment.
We see children who are never content with what they have, they lack gratefulness, manners and kindness, nothing seems to satisfy them except temporarily while they are getting a new present or toy.
The parents of these children are frustrated all the time, using yelling as their method in an attempt to get their children to obey, but it doesn't work. The parents of these children do not enjoy their children, they are wanting to leave them with baby sitters and Grandmas often to escape the little monsters.
God spoke of this in His Word. These children grow to be the leaders of companies and nations. They love themselves with little regard for others, this is the plight of our nation and many families right now.
Isaiah 3:11-13
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
"11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him.
12 O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths. God Will Judge
13 The Lord arises to contend, And stands to judge the people."

Atheists Are Lying
Atheists Are Lying
I don't believe atheists, when they say they don't believe
in God.. They are lying, they know there is a God but they refuse to confess He
exists.
"For the choir director. A Psalm of David. The fool has
said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have
committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good." Psalm 14:1
God said, "only the fool says in his
heart....NO....God!" The atheist knows but refuses.
"For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."
Romans 1:20
God said "you have no excuse because you have seen my
handiwork in nature." If the atheist really didn't believe in a God, then
they would not be upset when others want to pray to Him.
They would treat God like another ferry story like Santa
Clause or the Tooth Ferry. We don't see atheists bothering to become enraged
when our culture puts a Santa in the public squares. We don't see these people
attempting to take Santa out of the public places. We don't see the atheists
angry with the Easter bunny or other ferry personalities.
The reason atheists are so angry and quick to condemn any
form of Christian expression of the works of Christ, is because they know He is
the truth and want no accountability to Him.
For the atheist God is an affront to their freedome, He has
authority, one thing the atheists hate more than anything else, is authority
that would demand compliance.
Santa and the Easter bunny never require anything from their
followers, they simply give them what they want, indulging mankind in fantasy,
any way one chooses to express themselves.
Christ, even though He gave His all, expects us to confess
our wrong, these other fantasy figures merely indulge us in personal freedom
and happy thoughts, without accountability or shame over sin.
Christ offers a much greater blessing and eventual existence
than the imaginary personalities. These personalities focus on happiness and
fun for the moment, while Christ offers and eternity in a pure and perfect
relationship with a loving God.
Which will you choose? Difficulty for a time on this earth
to follow Christ with an eternity filled with perfection and love, or the
fantasy that lasts for one day, gives temporary fun and happiness, after which
it leads to a fiery eternity in darkness without hope?
I have chosen Christ, He died for me, He continually
cleanses and grows me, and one day He will come for me to take me to my perfect
and eternal home full of the love that could not be found on this earth, except
through Christ Who lives in us.
We may not have much time left to choose!
Joshua 24:14-15
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
“We Will Serve the Lord”
14 “Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity
and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and
in Egypt ,
and serve the Lord. 15 If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord,
choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your
fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in
whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Feelings Are Neither Here Nor There
Feelings are fleshly and do not help us. It is best to think rationally to evaluate our feelings, whether they are truth or godly. If they are not, then ignore them and do the right thing.
Waiting On God!
Arabs have been a continual problem to the Jews, in attempts to expunge them from the face of the earth.
Ishmael is the father of this rebel nation of Islam, they claim parentage through Abraham. They are the children of Abraham, but they are the illegitimate children of a slave girl. Praise the Lord that God can save them just as He can save us, but their nation as a whole, will always be a problem to Israel.
Notice what happened when Abraham went ahead of God to fulfill God's promise his own way rather than believing God and waiting on Him.
Do we want God to perform His miracles and promises to us, or do we set out to do them our own way and reap the terrible consequences of our willfulness?

Dinosaurs Walked With Man
Dinosaurs Walked With Man
The true science has been documented in the Bible! All that we have been taught in the public institutions about the big bang theory has been nothing more than pure perverted imagination, ferry stories developed by men who set out to destroy the faith of many, to disprove the existence of God.
God describes in His Word how the world was formed and even mentions in some detail the creatures that lived and walked on the earth during the time of man.
One of the creatures we were raised to believe was a cartoon character was that of the dragon. The Leviathan was a creature such as this.
God speaking in Job about the Leviathan, a dinosaur dragon that walk when Job walked:
Job 41
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
"41 “[a]Can you draw out [b]Leviathan with a fishhook?
Or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 “Can you put a [c]rope in his nose
Or pierce his jaw with a [d]hook?
3 “Will he make many supplications to you,
Or will he speak to you soft words?
4 “Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him for a servant forever?
5 “Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you bind him for your maidens?
6 “Will the [e]traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him among the merchants?
7 “Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?
8 “Lay your hand on him;
Remember the battle; [f]you will not do it again!
9 “[g]Behold, [h]your expectation is false;
Will [i]you be laid low even at the sight of him?
10 “No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him;
Who then is he that can stand before Me?
11 “Who has [j]given to Me that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
Or his mighty strength, or his [k]orderly frame.
13 “Who can [l]strip off his outer armor?
Who can come within his double [m]mail?
14 “Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth there is terror.
15 “His [n]strong scales are his pride,
Shut up as with a tight seal.
16 “One is so near to another
That no air can come between them.
17 “They are joined one to another;
They clasp each other and cannot be separated.
18 “His sneezes flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 “Out of his mouth go burning torches;
Sparks of fire leap forth.
20 “Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth
As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 “His breath kindles coals,
And a flame goes forth from his mouth.
22 “In his neck lodges strength,
And dismay leaps before him.
23 “The folds of his flesh are joined together,
Firm on him and immovable.
24 “His heart is as hard as a stone,
Even as hard as a lower millstone.
25 “When he raises himself up, the [o]mighty fear;
Because of the crashing they are bewildered.
26 “The sword that reaches him cannot avail,
Nor the spear, the dart or the javelin.
27 “He regards iron as straw,
Bronze as rotten wood."

Fighting With God?
Fighting With God?
I was once accused of giving too much scripture. What was amusing to me is that I thought I wasn't giving enough.
The one who accused me said she wanted to hear my thoughts, that I didn't seem to be able to think for myself.
I knew the real reason for her complaint, she wanted to argue with me about "my opinion", while being uncomfortable with arguing with God.
She had nothing to say against me when it was God I was quoting. The only criticism she had against me was to quote too much of God's Word. LOL!
There are times when we need to be silent and just let God speak through His Word. Let the rebellious fight with God, He can handle it.
