God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God hates sin and it will be punished. Jesus’ first coming was to bring salvation - he came in peace preaching repentance and forgiveness of sins. Jesus second coming will be in judgment. The New Testament is very clear. Those who have not believed have been judged already.
This is my church. The pastor is a biblical preacher, true to God’s word. He is not afraid to speak truth. https://churchontheave.com/watch https://m.facebook.com/233359980698090/
The series we are in is in 1 & 2 Peter - standing firm in the face of persecution
My husband just got out of the hospital. He got covid over Christmas so we were able to get ivermectin from the frontline doctors. He was able to take a few doses before he went to the hospital for low oxygen (74!!). They were going to prescribe remdecmiver but I warned him before he went in so he rejected it. They did give him some alternative medicine but I’m not sure what that was. It’s been a crazy few weeks.
Paul tells us that our enemies are not flesh and blood, but principalities. Biden, Fauci, all of them are controlled by darkness. Think of them as imprisoned, held by chains. They need to be rescued. They need the light just as much as anyone else.
There are my hypocrites out there. However, we were not meant to walk alone. The church was set up by the Holy Spirit in Acts.
As brothers and sisters in Christ we are to help each other grow. You cannot throw out the church because there are bad people. Go read your Bible, Jesus even said this would happen. The point is to keep our eyes on Jesus.
You can’t use scripture to prove your point. You’ll end up taking it out of context. You must go to Scripture to seek the Truth in Gods word - and be willing to hear the Truth.
This is how people justified may things - slavery, right of a husband to abuse his wife. If you want Truth, I do not believe you will find any affirmation for violence.
I just returned from the Bible Bee competition in Kentucky this past weekend. God is moving through our kids. Preparing them for battle by knowing Gods Word and making it known.
Any parents interested should look up the Bible Bee website and check out the clips on YouTube. It was a blessing to my heart to hear the Word of God proclaimed by children ages 7-18. Our God is sovereign and He is in control!
Honestly, I don’t worry about that at all. I teach my kids how to interact with people when we go to the store - how to be respectful and polite. This is not something kids will ever learn from each other. I am constantly talking to my kids. I have had people tell me how well spoken my kids are. We read a lot and not the books that recommended these days. We read classics. I am also involved in church. We are there every week. Whenever there is an opportunity to serve I get my kids involved. We take snacks/cookies/donuts to local police stations so that they learn to show respect to officers.
I really do not want my kids learning from their peers - disrespecting elder, bullying, name calling … no. As my kids have grown they have had more and more interaction, but they know where to come to discuss issues. And they know the type of behaviors we do and do not approve of. We do not watch much TV either which is only brainwashing anyway.
You can join a co-op group. Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. Sign them up for dance or martial arts. That’s just not in my budget.
““ ‘Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 7:9-11 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/jer.7.9-11.NIV
