You Will Win! Amen!!!!!

Daily Bible Verse

For thou Lord, art good, and ready to forgive: and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. ~Psalm 86:5

Daily Inspiration

Think of a grudge that you held on for a long time. Did you feel better from holding this grudge? Now think about this deeper: what if God held a grudge against us? Wow, how blessed we are that He forgives those us that He forgives our sins! He leads by example, forgiving those of us that do exactly what He asks us not to do. We ALL should ALL be more forgiving, like God is to us.

Daily Prayer

You sent Your Only Son to the world to die so that we may be forgiven, Merciful God. Forgive me, once again, for being too selfish and proud to not forgive those that trespass against me. I wish that I can sin less and ask for forgiveness and guidance when I need it. I thank You for sending Your Son to us, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Just Pray And Everything Will Be Fine!!!!!

You Are A Temple of The Holy Spirit

By Frances Taylor

You Are A Temple of The Holy Spirit: Men and women are ALL created in the image of God, to be the face of God in the world. ~1 Corinthians 6:18-20

This is a hard saying in today’s world. Sexual immorality is so rampant and public that few people believe it to be immoral! People no longer think of sexual behavior outside of marriage as wrong and, in fact, have no problem with going from one person to another quite publicly, broadcasting their behavior on social media and if you’re famous enough, on Twitter/X, on TV, in magazines, etc. What happened to “Thou shalt not commit adultery?” I guess I’m old fashioned, I’m not about to condemn anyone who truly loves another and is faithful to them regardless of marriage, but I don’t understand and cannot condone random sexual encounters that are not based on love but lust, have no desire for permanency but are literally just to satisfy a sexual itch.

Sorry if I offend anyone but if we believe that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit to be kept Holy, how can we treat them as what – toys, prizes? I’m aware that women have often been treated as sexual objects rather than human beings, but men have also been treated badly and often have been given expectations that are false. Men and women are ALL created in the same image of God with the same free will and with the same purpose, to be the face of God in the world. And our God is not like the promiscuous gods of the Romans, the Greeks, the Egyptians, or any other culture. for our God is one of unconditional love, and as He loves us, He expects us to love others and that does not mean using another for pleasure. I hope that someday, we will cease to promote immorality and be more concerned with our immortality.

Prayer

Lord, we have come so far from the people we were created to be. Help us to return to You and live Your commandments with a renewed respect for the bodies You have given us. Amen.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. ~John 15:21
