Being A Christ Follower

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The Affects Of The News On Your Health

We all watch the news from time to time, and some make it a daily and evening part of their life. The news can be very informative, educational and keep you up to date on national and world events, from the weather to just about every other unfolding situation.

 

However can a daily and evening dose of the news have affects upon your health? I believe that it can because while there are happy news stories, there are a whole lot more depression news stories. In fact much of the news that we watch is depressing.

 

Personally, it would be so much nicer if there were balance with regards to the news and the stories they report on. But then again, if the new were more encouraging and reported on stories of encouragement and hope, most people wouldn't be glued to the news programs.

Let me encourage you to feed your inner man with something more fruitful than stories that sow depression.

The History Of Halloween

That time will soon be here and millions upon millions of children will celebrate Halloween. So what is this holiday and celebration all about? Is it simply fun, costumes, candy and children going from door to door? Or is there something else behind the holiday and celebration of Halloween? What is the History of Halloween?

 

As kids growing up, both I and my sister celebrated Halloween. Dressing up, the costumes, the trick or treat lanterns and yes, the candy was all a part of the celebration. It was fun and as with all children, we eagerly awaited that day.

 

Many years passed and when I became a Christian I did extensive studies online about Halloween and was quite shocked at what I found and read. I'm not going to go into details, other than to provide our readers with some links that will lead you to some informative sites about the history of Halloween like The Bible & Halloween. As Christian's and Christian parents, we must individually decide whether we should allow our children to participate in Halloween. Should Christians Celebrate Halloween

The Stock Market Rally & You

Have you seen it? The rally and comeback as today's stock market hit 10,000 plus. Hey great. So do you have more money in your savings, did you get a raise at your job, did your utility bills go down, did your medical costs go down, did your health insurance go down, auto insurance, etc. Did this rally and comeback place any more money in your pocket or get your bills closer to being paid off?

 

How about our senior citizens. Did this rally and come back help them? What about all the people that lost their homes and life savings. Did it help them? I wonder who will get the credit for this great comeback and rally?

 

Fuel for thought.

Intentional Malicious Intent

Have you ever encountered someone that intentionally starts arguments and intentionally tries to get your attention through arguments? I'm not talking about the antics of children, but adults. Those people that go out of the way to try and get your attention through malicious words, immature words and just down right bitterness spoken, as if they are simply trying to inflict their own misery upon you. Well, our world is filled with them.

 

So what do you do when that person is a spouse, a relative or a close friend? What do you do when as the seasons have passed that person continues to inflict such emotions upon and against you?

 

Pray and pray and pray that God delivers them from their own torment. Because torment has it's grip upon them.

Of The Times & Seasons

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

 

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

 

Ouch!

International House Of Prayer

Here's a really awesome ministry to visit. The International House Of Prayer. I have a friend that moved to Kansas City that serves at IHOP. He and his wife just love it there. I've yet to visit IHOP in Kansas City, however I did get the chance to hear Mike Bickle preach at our church some years back and we have hosted the OneThing Conferences which are a blast to attend.

 

If you've never visited The International House Of Prayer's ministry site, here's a great time to check it out. International House Of Prayer

Loving The Un Lovable

Jesus said "love one another" and spoke of love being the greatest of all gifts. However, how do we love the unlovable? Those that are just difficult to get along with, that are always complaining, full of bitterness and very hard to be around. Most definitely a challenge at times, and especially if they are in your household. To be quite honest, other than saying love them with the love of Christ, I do not feel there is a true answer.

 

Yes anyone can tell you the 1-10 ways to love the unlovable, however telling someone and walking in those shoes are two different things. Loving the unlovable is a challenge that takes great wisdom, great patience, great understanding and extra measures of God's love flowing through you.
