When we dishonor and disobey God, we have no one to blame but ourselves. All that we do comes out of the depth of our hearts. It is interesting that when we do something good we want all the credit, but when we do something evil we want to blame someone else. Everyone comes from a disfunctional family because no parent is perfect. What excuse did Adam and Eve have, their parent was the Almighty God Himself? If we think our parents are to blame, then how long do we get to keep using them as the excuse for our sinful choices? All the rest of our lives for every sin? No. We only begin healing when we see that we alone are responsible for every choice we make.
If we think psychology has the answers to mans sinful nature, think again. Psychology was born out of unregenerate mankind's attempt to indulge in sin without conscience. It has produced the apostate church we have today and further fanned the flames of wickedness in the unsaved man. The world has been using psychology for several generations to "help" people, and our world is far worse than it has ever been. God's way is the only way, and that is to stand up and admit our sin like mature men and women and joyfully take our punishments, knowing that we deserve it. This is the only path to cleansing and restoration in the soul of man.
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.

Walking With A Perfect Heart
Perfect toward Him
By Jc Nathanael
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“...I will walk within my house with a perfect heart”
(Psalm 101:2, NKJ)
TODAY’S WORD from Jc nathanael
This time of year, people often take time to reflect and set goals for the New Year. But have you ever set “perfection” as a goal on your list?
Now, that may seem a little strange or unobtainable to many, but really, in God’s eyes perfection isn’t about performance. In fact, it isn’t about behavior at all. What God is looking for is a heart that is perfect toward Him. Scripture says that man looks on the outside, but God looks at the heart. That means that He is more pleased with someone who has a heart toward Him who may mess up than He is with someone doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons.
The condition of your heart is extremely important to God. When you have a right heart, you are humble before Him. You seek His ways. You get up each day with a desire to please Him. You submit every area of your life to Him, and you are willing to make adjustments and receive correction so you can grow and come up higher.
As you prepare for the coming year, make knowing Him your number one priority. Yield yourself to Him and let Him shape your character. Serve Him with all your might and let your heart be perfect toward Him!
