Last weekend a student from our local college wasspeeding to get home to see the football game when he ran into an oil Rig at a high rate of speed. . I posted this to encourage others not to speed just to get home and see something that you can tape on your VCR or DVD. Ask youself if speeding just to see something is worth possibly losing your life? I don't believe it is.

Recently, I've been extremely confused about what the process of courtship is supposed to look like in my life. I was saved at the age of 10 but raised in a non-Christian household. When, I was 18, I left home because I wasn't allowed to attend church, read my Bible, etc. My parents (more specifically my dad) did not want me practicing Christianity under their roof and ultimately gave me the choice of renouncing my faith or moving out. Today, I have a relationship with my mom but my father is still refusing to speak to me and has vowed not to walk me down the aisle when I get married. I have been attending a small (50 people) independent Baptist church for a little while …

Parenthood Many folks say, or think, that parenthood is a “no brainier”. They consider it “child’s play”, and yet when you think about it, by the time your children grow up and leave home, you have functioned in many professional fields. By the time they are grown, the parent has learned much; they have experience as judges; nurses; social workers; pharmacists; policemen; lawyers; teachers; handymen; scientists; referee’s; care providers, and many more. Though men scoff at parenting as if it were of little importance, or prestige, and though many think it to be a “simple” thing for the simple minded, and they look at it with disdain and scorning, it is essential in …

For the past few years, since 1999, I have been in deep depression about my divorce. It is over, but I cannot seem to get pass the fact that is happened and divorce was wrong in the eyes of God. I feel as though I cannot be useful to God because of it.... Just venting.

My 9 year old son woke me up this morning by saying, "Dad, I need your help." He walked into to the bathroom, and I followed him, turned on the light, and saw melted chocolate all over his face, hair, pajama shirt, and arm. He said he took chocolate chips out of the kitchen during the night and brought them to his bed. He fell asleep before he could eat them all, and now he, and the bed (sheets, blanket, and pillows) are covered in melted chocolate. I gave him a washcloth and told him to wash himself up. Since I was needing to leave for work, I let him know that he was in BIG trouble and sent him to the extra bed. My wife told my son that he has lost priveleges …

Ok, let me start this off by saying that I was divorced and have since remarried. That is NOT what this discussion is about, so please keep those comments to yourself. Anyway, my ex-wife and I have 2 kids together (11 and 9). My wife and I have 3 kids together (5, 3 and 2). We are members of a local IFB church and absolutely love it. However, let me give you the backstory to all this. My ex and I graduated from Bible college and served on staff of a church where we felt God had called us into missions. Therefore, we have the same biblical foundation and beliefs. Now, to the present. My ex has since remarried and he DEMANDS they attend a Presbyterian church. He h…

Here's another one she wrote. It's for ladies, as you proably noticed though, I'm not a lady, so I can't post this in the ladies forum. It's a very good series of articles that I think ladies who have to go through the trials and tribulations of being modest and yet in fashion will appreciate. Feel free to leave a comment on the blog, I'm sure she'd love to hear from you. -- My prayer and purpose for this topic is to strike that balance between being “in this world and not of this world” in regards to The FIVE “F’s”: Fashion, Fit, Femininity, Function, and Frugality in a way that conforms to God’s word. Please enjoy reading my philosophy and frustrations of fa…

. While husbands are commanded to love their wives; the wives are commanded not to love their husbands, but rather, to respect them. †. Eph 5:3 . . And the wife, see that she reverence her husband. †. Eph 5:22 . .Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Shaunti Feldhahn relates a survey taken among segregated groups of men and women with this question: Given a choice; would you rather be disrespected, or would you rather live alone and unloved in the world? Just about every one of the ladies chose disrespect rather than living alone and unloved in the world; while the men chose to live alone and unloved rather than be disrespected. This…

This article is brought to you in part by Kita's Cookies, of which I consumed many while writing this. Thanks Kitagrl!!! ----- I am a flag waver. I blink back the tears at the sounding of the national anthem, my heart swells with pride when hearing the stories of my country's history. I believe America is a nation blessed by God and has been used by God to do more for the cause of Christ than any other nation. She's come a long way, baby. According to Revelation 13, there will come a day in the future when the world will submit to one man who is indwelt by Satan himself. The world will operate on one currency, one socialist-communist political system with …

Complete Article by my wife. (My four year old daughter asked me, with no previous prompting and much to my discomfort, that question. Do you see a difference? It's so subtle I didn't even notice, but it wasn't subtle to the innocent unconditioned mind of a little child. Out of the mouths of babes.) In the first few years of my marriage, I became aware of three marriages that were affected by pornography within my circle of friends. In two of the cases, the men refused to change their ways and the marriages ended and children were left without an intact home. In the third case, the man repented and through God’s grace, forgiveness, some boundaries and accountabilit…

Here's part of an article my wife wrote. You can find the entire article here: http://melissaattruthandsong.blogspot.com/2010/08/raising-versus-training.html -- In the book, “Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World” the author talks about the difference between Parent Centered Homes, Child Centered Homes and Character Centered Homes. EVERY CHILD’S UNDOING I call a “Parent Centered Home” one where you “raise” your child. Raising a child entails that they have a roof over their head, food in their belly, and stay alive until they leave the home; they occupy themselves … at least they occupy themselves until they become a disturbance to the parent. T…

. No doubt someone's nose is going to get bent over this topic but let me assure them I don't mean Mr. Clinton's daughter any harm but only to utilize her recent marriage as a convenient OBject lesson. Chelsea' marriage is off to a very, very bad start; in point of fact, it's a marriage made in Hell. Why do I say that? Because the bride's religion is Christianity, while that of the groom's is Judaism: two religions which are totally incompatible. †. 2 Cor 6:14-18 . . Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or…

I was planning on posting this tomorrow, but just couldn't wait! Hope it can be of use to someone. We need to seek out principles for restoring relationships, and remember that love always prevails. 1. Reminisce about past shared experiences. Remember the “good old days”. Times spent, things done together. 2. Don’t be afraid to “eat crow”. Swallow your pride. --Pride is destructive; it seldom, if ever, edifies. Why not take the blame for the problem? 1 Cor. 6:7 At least make it right on your end. 3. Build dreams with them! Talk of “better days” ahead; Instill in them a new hope. Find something to compliment them on (Need not lie, everyone has…

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Prov. 22:6 All training is rigorous, whether it is in working out physically, or training for a new position in our career. Whatever the training is for, it is never easy; it consists of several elements, including instruction, discipline, hard work, and much patient love. Training a child is no exception. It takes diligence on the part of the instructor, or teacher, but especially the parent. Much time and prayer is needed to “do it right”, and with children, we often only get one chance to get it right. Often, when we have failed to do our part, we remind each other tha…

Anyone need children's Bible stories? They teach character and Christ. Take a look. Ephesians 6 (Parents please read the entire chapter with them.) “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (v. 11) Did you ever see a picture of a soldier with all the stuff he wears? It looks awfully heavy, but he wears it because it helps him to do what he is supposed to do. Some of it is to keep him safe, and some of it is to fight against his enemies, but it is all there because he needs it. The Bible is like that for us, some of it is to protect us, and some of it is for chasing away the enemy, except that the Bible is …

Many times those who have no standards accuse those who have some standards as being self righteous Pharisees. Typically, those with some standards don’t care how those with no standards live their lives, so long as it doesn’t affect them or their children. This isn’t good enough for those with no standards; they must openly or secretly attack the “Pharisees” for living their lives differently. People who do this are toxic, backbiting cowards. Ironically, when rebuked for gossiping, backbiting, and sowing discord, they refuse to apologize and in turn go full circle into what they accuse the other people of being, self righteous. Only now they are self righteous Sa…

Galatians 6:2 says "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." The other week, I was asked to fill a pulpit on short notice. It was almost immediately that the Lord burdened my heart with the thought of caring for one another within the church. If we read further into Galatians 6, we find that verse 10 says that we should "do good unto all men, especially unto them who are the household of faith." What about those who are in our very households, though? Should we care for them? Should we prefer them? Should we humble ourselves and consider their needs before we consider our own? These are all things we are commanded to do when it comes to the br…

Hi All, My wife and I have been having some marital prOBlems lately. She feels that I am not showing her enough affection and love. My defence was I was always making sure that the cleaning and housework was done before she arrived home from work so that she would not have to worry about it after working a long 10 hour day at work. Then I realized that I was going about it in a way that she didn't recognize that I was showing her love in doing this. So, lately I have been trying to tell her how much I love her and want to work things out because she felt that we weren't getting anywhere in our marriage and was considering leaving. We have been talking about a lot of thi…

Proverbs 14:16 says "A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident." I recently saw the title of a new book out by Max Lucado called "Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear". I have not read this book so I cannot endorse it or criticize it in any way, but the title struck me as something to consider within the context of the home. Imagine your home life without fear. Fathers and husbands, imagine having no fear when it comes to making hard choices and tough decisions for righteousness' sake. Think what it would be like to know of some scriptural command that you must implement in your own personal life and in the life of your f…

Job and Psalms refer to several dinosaurs after the flood. Man walked with dinosaurs. They were not killed due to any disaster, but were a threat or a source of hunting for man and man caught and killed them over hundreds or thousands of years. There are pictures and drawings of various creatures men killed during the dark ages; therefore men encountered them and fought them even since the time of Christ. All may be killed off now. -

Thank you for answering me ! Many Greetings,Kati -
Dinosaurs on the ark never made sense to me. Why save the dinosaurs if they were just gonna die right away due to climate change. Either they were an abomination created in Genesis 6 or perhaps prior between Genesis 1:1-2 and were wiped out during Lucifer's rebellion. Incidentally, Satan is compared to a dragon aka dinosaur. -
The Bible teaches by man came death. At the end of creation week, there was no evil in the universe. God declared all He had made very good. All the angels rejoiced on day three - when the foundations of the earth were laid - Job 38:7 - which meant none had fallen yet. You can also see the same order of events of creation week (as shown in Job 38) presented the same way in Psalm 104. Satan walked in Eden before he fell - Ezekiel 28:13 - and Eden was not created until day 6. Nowhere does the Bible state Adam and Eve fully understood how death would affect things, only that it was promised as a judgement if they sinned. Satan fell sometime after creation week, then he later tempted Eve and Adam; and their sin resulted in death, the curse, etc. being brought on creation, including all biological life. Romans 5 is very clear on that.
