Those who keep secrets are more interested in appearances than in solutions, correction and resolutions.
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Only One Family Was Saved
In the days of Noah and Lot only one family were saved out of the wrath of God.
Only one family will be saved from the wrath of God in the tribulation through the rapture, that is the family of God, those in Christ who are born again.
We are living in those last days now when everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes and they are contemptuous toward God's message.

Christ is the Word!
The Bible is the WORD, Christ is the Word, the Bible is the essence of God and His principles. He has imparted to us His very heart in His Word.
To negate the Bible is to negate Christ.
To mock the Bible its to mock Christ.
To pluck scriptures out of context to make them say what we want to believe is to deny Christ.
To use only the parts of the Bible we like is to deny Christ.
As born again believers our marching orders are to seek diligently Christ through His word and prayer.
1 Corinthians 2:16
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ."
Without the mind of Christ the unbeliever cannot understand the Bible even if they read it from cover to cover. Those who don't know Christ will interpret the Bible in terms of their own fallen thinking.
We must have Christ to understand God's Heart.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16
"The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ."
If you want to understand God you must be born again! Then you must study the Word with the help of the Holy Spirit, then there is growth and obedience.

Marriage is a picture of the relationships between Christ and His church.
In the case of marriage the relationship ends at death but with Christ and His church it never ends because it is spiritual.
Ephesians 1:12-14 "…12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. 13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth— the gospel of your salvation— you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.…"
When God makes two people one in marriage its His doing and nothing He has done can be undone.
Marriage is Spiritual not only flesh!
Mark 10:8-9 "…8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, no man not separate.” "
This is why God says if one remarries after divorce they are committing adultery.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 "…10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife."
When Christ makes a repentant sinner into a new creation it cannot be undone, it is a work of God sealed with the Holy Spirit until He comes for us.
Ephesians 1:12-14 "…12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. 13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth— the gospel of your salvation— you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.…"
God never forces anyone but only gives us what we want that is to be changed by Him. When we marry He gives us what we want, that is to be joined as one to our spouse.
We battle our flesh continually, this battle goes on until we are taken out, the same is true with marriage. We battle our flesh in marriage too until one spouse dies.
God designed marriage to be a picture of our relationship with Christ. Those who are not born again do not understand these principles, the reason so many are divorcing and committing adultery in remarriage.
When two people, whether born again or not, commit through promises in marriage, the covenant, they are then joined as one by God. All of mankind is held accountable for their sin against God if they separate and live with another person they marry by the law of the land.
There will be those who tell you that unsaved people are not made one by God, but the Genesis account of creation shows that everyone is made one by God when they marry.
Genesis 2:24
"24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."
From the very beginning mankind was under this standard until now.
Ephesians 1:12-14 "…12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. 13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth— the gospel of your salvation— you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.…"

When Our Rights End
When our decisions impact another human being we do not have a right to do what harms them.
