“Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers

Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs

That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers…”  Can’t you just hear Garth’s sweet croon?

‘Not really sure why it makes it more ‘country’ to use bad grammar—‘hmmm . . . can’t imagine why some folks think country singers are just a bunch of hicks… but what about the theology of the lyrics—is it…

As we all know I was saved on November 8th of 2010. Praise the lord but now we are having a problem. I will be 21 on June 19th and the urge to go back to old ways spend time with old friends and go back the girl I used to be instead of continuing work on the woman I am now is pulling harder than ever. My actual birthday is on a Sunday which at first I saw as a sign that I needed to get baptized and saved completely But now after putting some more thought into it the only reason 21 is…

I figured every parent could use a prayer like this..........

Please Dear Lord,

Give me patience with this kid.

I am about to loose my lid

That Smirk, I could just smack

Please hold my temper back!

Give me patience with my child

I know I must not seem at all riled.

Oh I know I want to just scream

But your love must reign supreme.

Give me patience with my daughter.

Let your love…

Three things struck me about the following story—

-Sometimes God creates by making something beautiful of our lives

-It is in the ‘canyon’ times that we see growth

-If in the ‘canyon’, we ought be looking around for the beauty that

       has a unique opportunity to grow …

A friend read this story to me on the phone, and I hope it speaks to you as it did to me:

Gwen was an undisciplined and strong-willed girl, always accustomed to having her own…

Purpose in pain … three things to remember.  Romans 8.17 ff

Yes, my mom always told me that things came in threes.  A backward glance at our Romans 8 study reveals three things that groan—three things that keep us hopeful—Creation, believers, and the Holy Spirit, who prays for us. 

I am incredibly inspired by Romans 8!  Paul has so much to say to believers that we could honestly camp right here for several more weeks.  One of the areas that Paul speaks toward is suffering in…

I'm going to make this perfectly clear and be bold: I do not believe in 'once saved, always saved'. I believe that we, as humans, must strive to be perfect for God to make it to heaven. Anyways, I'm going to talk about 'So Long World..."

The Word tells us "Be not conformed of this world..." That is a commandment, not a suggestion. My family, right now, is in the living room enjoying a movie. I believe in not watching television, that is my personal conviction. The Word also…

"Hear O Isreal: the Lord Thy God is one Lord"

Praise God! We only serve One God and His name is Jesus! God took on the human flesh to reveal Himself to our eyes! I'm so glad I serve One God who is able to do anything and go anywhere and is not limited to anything! My God is One!

Is it just me or is this just awesome???

We must consciously choose our words and not arbitrarily say things.

We also need to take into consideration the ''slangs'' we use.

They may be popular with the world but it will bring destruction to our lives and the lives of others in the realm of the spirit.

There is power in the tongue and if we indulge it in a negative way, demonic forces hear these negative confessions and act on it.

Mama always told me that things come in threes.   Yesterday, today, tomorrow … tic-tac-toe … Father, Son, Holy Spirit … in baseball—three strikes, three bases, three outfielders … as we look a little more closely at the middle of Romans chapter eight, we see Paul’s observation that in life, there are three things that groan.  Take a look at Paul’s thoughts:

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.  For…

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH JESUS

“God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by His Son, Whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty…
