Lifestyle

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done ... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) whatever it is ... You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. 

He loves you and you are forgiven.  He’s just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.  

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets.  

Is Strictness the Problem?

A ‘good deal of nonsense is being palmed off today concerning the reaction of a child from over-strictness in parental training.

I sometimes hear, “My parents brought me up so rigidly that a reaction took place in my mind, and I have turned away from religion.” I then ask, “Did they teach you to be honest?” “Yes.” “Were they strict about that.” “Yes”. “Did they teach you to tell the truth?” “Yes.” “Were that strict about that?” “Absolutely”.

An Easter Prayer

O God of Easter, God of resurrection power, 

Bring heavenly life to our earthbound souls: 

Thou, who did’st call Lazarus forth from his tomb, 

Call us from dead works, and let our hearts aglow with immortal glory and power. 

Call us out of the tomb of hollow profession, of cold creeds, and wordy ritual. 

And let Thy life abundant permeate and saturate our stagnant souls. Bringing joy where there is heaviness of heart. 

Bring peace where there is confusion;
