    Unjust Suffering

    Do you ever just want to run away from your circumstances? Or, do you call out to God in your suffering, and beg for deliverance from it all? The pain of all you are going through just seems so overwhelming, and so you want relief. You want it all to be over, gone, done away with. And, yet it...

    Steadfast is Your Love

    Jesus said that if we follow him, that we will be hated as he was hated, and that they will treat us the same way as they treated him. We are taught in scripture that we can expect to be persecuted, too, for righteousness’ sake, and that we are blessed when people revile us and say all manner of...

    Let's Face It!

    We all have enemies, let’s face it. No matter how nice we are, there are always going to be people who won’t like us, and who will rise against us, just because we are not like them; just because we are different. Yet, for those of us who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of...

    Don't let the birds overhead hinder the effort to sow seeds

    The enemies approach on us is very similar to the approach taken on Jesus in the wilderness temptation. It attacks all areas of human living. Body, mind and spirit. Emotion, intellect and will. From how we worship and serve, in our physical necessities, to our spiritual activity. FI= There is...

    Love those who hate you

    I have thought of the concept (forgive me if I misquote this); "If you love only those who love you, ... do not even the Gentiles do the same?" And bless those who curse you. How do you not resent but love those who hate you? Or are always against you? Also remembering this; “Love is patient and...

    Is it alright to pray for God to fight for you?

    Before officially asking this question it is useful for you to know a bit why I am asking this question. My mother has been experiencing some spiritual attacks recently and knows who it is. Now, coming from the pentecostal sect of Christianity she believes that it's ok to pray for those fight...

    Can you forgive someone but still hate what they did to you?

    I still get real mad when I think about some stuff that happened to me at my workplace a few years ago. I was railroaded. I wouldn't wish harm on this lady, and I'd probably help her if she were hanging off of a cliff, but I don't like her. Does forgiveness mean you have to forget everything...
