But he who endures to the end and runs the race before them, and when they've done all, to stand - shouldn't we bend our attitudes towards Christ's mind? That is, if we look at this through the lens of Heaven, do we see the doom and gloom only or can we finally begin to see the soon coming of our Hope? We all know it won't get better on Earth. But let's be honest and face it head on, remembering the government is upon Christ's shoulder, not this evil, wicked corrupt government we look at now.

If we are to bring our children up in "the fear and admonition of The Lord" (Deut 6:7) shouldn't we bear in mind a truthful understanding of their nature? Otherwise we are treating the symptoms and not the illness. Recognizing who your children are (read through Proverbs and Psalms to find out what our nature by birth is) is the most loving thing a parent can do! Then you can prayerfully and lovingly instruct them. When they display foolish childish behavior, you can know where to correct; it's the only way to reap that harvest of righteousness (Heb 12:11). I don't believe this lady was in any way being demonstrative towards her children; rather she recognizes their need for God; she can always point them to Him, no psychobabble necessary!

We watched my grandfather die a long, excruciating death. Through it all, he continued to remind us that God is God over everything, beginning to end, and we have no business meddling in His affairs, as such. Job and David both spent time lamenting their birth and wishing for death; yet they dared not take their life knowing it was not theirs to take regardless of the circumstances - and they had really good circumstances!!

So the cat's finally out of the bag! You DON'T have to practice self control in difficult situations and it really is okay to join in with others in unwholesome speech! And all this time I thought that blue haze over the city was smog... What a load of- what?! The article SAID it was ok! All the more reason to season our speech with grace, taming the tongue, and practicing self control.

However, when the second store turned over the store management position to a ravenously gay man, they got their panties in a twist! Now what?!
