Church... it is time

I am going to be honest. I wasn't raised in church. I was baptized in a Methodist church, went for a few years, and then made the decision to not go any longer. In the midst of my curious late teen years, I became a practicing Wiccan. I was doing horrible things to myself and to be hinest, probably others as well.

We I came to know the Lord, it was through a crisis. Knowing there had to be more when I was thinking that my life was ending. Sometimes, that's what it takes.

Church, I'm not going to sit here and watch a Christian holocaust start. I'm not going to sit back with my mouth shut and watch my brothers and sisters around the world lay their life on the line. It is time to rise up church!

Jesus calls us to walk like him. To be his hands and feet. How many are actively in the community praying for people, laying hands, sharing the Gospel? It is time. Whether you'd like to believe it or not, we are closing in on end times ladies and gentlemen. It is only going to get darker. But darkness must flee in the presence of light.

GO BE THAT LIGHT!

Weighing in..... this may hurt

Hey everyone ♡ I wanted to stay out if the Supreme Court's decision, but I just can't. I'm going to weigh in on this subject.

There is so much hate being slung around the interwebs since Friday. Hate from both sides. Hate from supporters and those who don't support it. Hate from christians to nonchristians.

EVERYONE JUST NEEDS TO STOP!!!!

Jesus ate with sinners. Jesus loved people, no matter their walk of life. We as Christians need to show those who are sinning the love of Christ. By belittling them, being nasty, and sarcastic is not the way to bring people to Christ.

Do we have to agree with the ruling? No. Do we have to agree with homosexuals marrying? No.
Does that give us the right to turn into hypocrites? No.

We are in dark times right now. But darkness cannot stay where light is! We are the light of Jesus! Do not condemn. Do not ridicule. LOVE! Love others with the love Jesus has given you. Love all others with the same grace and forgiveness that God has given you. Don't forget, none of us are perfect and sin free. Only one person was, and that was Jesus.

We can save those who are lost in this world. But only with love. Go out and be His hands and feet.

God Bless and Keep Smilin'

I am so blessed to have been asked again by Darlene Schacht to review another book she has written. So thank you Darlene!!!! 

Ok, so on to what I am here to do. This book is without a doubt a blessing to the covenant of marriage between a wife and her husband. Throughout this book here is a prayer listed for specific circumstances that arrive in our lives as wives. The prayer for each life circumstance is completely heartfelt and so filled with love. There is also scripture that follows each prayer, which to me strengthened my heart as well as the prayer. 

Whether you are just married, thinking of marriage, or married for 50 years, this is a tool to strengthen your prayer life in marriage. Darlene has done it again! Her amazing love for God and her husband and her readers shows with each word written.
