True Talk 101

If a man's confidence comes through having sex, how was his confidence before he became sexually active?

If couples can get along only when they're inside each other, that's not a relationship.

Born-Again Virginity

Born-again virgin? There's no such thing because once you've been sexually active, that's it. You can't regain your virginity.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) January 24, 2016

Me & one of my FB friends had a little debate based on this tweet, so I'll post the conversation here.

Robin Butler If you can be made new in the spirit, I'm sure you can be a born again virgin. Now the way some people try to use it, no. But to be born again, that's everything.

Richard Hudson I'm not buying the whole born-again virgin thing, because for one thing you decided to throw away your precious jewel and now all of a sudden you realize your worth and want to save yourself? It's bananas to me.

Richard Hudson Yes, all have sinned and fallen short, I get that. Before you got saved, you were sexually active and now that you got saved, all of a sudden you want to save yourself for the right one. Why? What could you have to give someone that you haven't already given away? That's what I'm referring to.

Robin Butler You holding grudges. Stop. They can give the same thing. Just bc a person has had sex doesn't mean they have ever had intimacy. They just exchanged bodily fluids. Sex is so much more than what people think sometimes. But all in all, it's nothing wrong with turning over a new life. In fact, you should encourage the change so more would do it.

Richard Hudson I'm not holding grudges, I'm telling it like it is. So you mean to tell me a virgin and someone who's been sexually active can give the same thing? Negative, and you know it. I support anyone trying to change. If more folks were open to change, the world would be better off.

Robin Butler Yes that is what I'm telling you. In the spiritual sense, yes they can. If you are still thinking world then yes you are correct they can't. It depends on Your mind frame tho, not theirs. That's the trick. 

Stop Asking For Unconditional Love

Men & Women: Stop asking for unconditional love if you have prerequisites attached before you choose to love somebody.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) January 25, 2016

People are funny when they talk about unconditional love because I know they're full of crap. With the proper exception of Jesus' help, NO ONE can love unconditionally. They may do well for a moment, but many people's tolerance for foolishness is very low, as it should be. Nobody should have time to keep giving people chance after chance when you don't see improvement; that's bananas. Men and women should stop asking for unconditional love if they have prerequisites attached before they love someone. Both genders are guilty of this. Men are like: I want my woman to be perfect before I give her my love. She can't have attitude, must be a great cook, this, that and the other.
Nothing wrong with having standards, BUT...do some men possess most or all of what they require in a woman? Women are like: I want a man to love me at my worst, or he won't get my best. LOL! Ok then. This is the mindset of some men & women. If you're going to love someone, love them unconditionally. You can't put conditions on love for your spouse. You must love your (wo)man even though at times you may not receive that love back. You must be able to love that (wo)man even if they piss you off sometimes. If you can't do that, the best thing to do is stay single. Nobody should be expected to love someone unconditionally if that person isn't willing to return the favor.

Open Up With Caution

These tweets deal with how people shouldn't be so quick to open up to everyone. The reason why I say you shouldn't open up to everyone is that there are people who are ready to use your details against you.

Sometimes, you need to have your guard up when meeting new people. You don't know what they're about yet.

There's value in keeping quiet sometimes.

Strawberry Letter: Mooching Husband

Mooching Husband

 

 Her husband is LAZY and doesn’t want to work. I’m sure there were all types of red flags before she married him. Ten years UNEMPLOYED should’ve been more than enough indication of who she married. She enabled him all these years and continues to enable him by tolerating sorry behavior. I don't know any man who would stop working because his wife makes more. Ummmmm.....*long pause*. There's nothing further to say if she doesn't know by now. He's living off her, so why stop now? I'm still stuck on the 10 years unemployment part. If she has children, she needs to tell it like it is TO him and ask him if this is the example he wants to set for his children. Let's be clear, she saw this coming. Mention "unemployed" to today's woman, and she'll side-eye you and leave.

I Have Discernment

People love talking about how much "discernment" they have. If you have discernment, who are you trying to convince by talking about it?

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) January 20, 2016

Discernment is one of those overused traits everyone claims to have. Everybody talks about how much discernment they have, like they're the only ones who can have "discernment". Many people talk about discernment, but they have no idea what it means. Discernment is keen perception or judgment. While others look at the surface, discerners see things from a spiritual standpoint. This term is popular in Christianity because of the spiritual aspect. If you have discernment, who are you trying to convince by talking about it? What's understood doesn't need an explanation. If you have discernment, it speaks for itself. It shows in the decisions you make and the company you keep. Discerners are very careful before they make decisions. They look for the greatest outcome and proceed. If something doesn't feel right to a discerner, forget it. My point: Everyone who says they have discernment, doesn't. You couldn't tell someone has discernment because they continually make poor decisions. Discernment is one of those silent gifts. You let it speak for you in the way you move and think. If something doesn't feel right, that's your discernment telling you something's wrong.

Some people can't understand God's word yet. That's why they sit in church worried about the football game and what they going to eat. Wishing the pastor would hurry up while the man next to them shouting "take your time preacher!".....let me break it down for you.

You know how you feel when your football team down by the 2 point conversation and they make that amazing catch just in time and you run shouting and spraying vodka everywhere....this is the feeling Christians get when they can witness and amen to what the pastor saying bc they been there.

The SUPERBOWL come once a year. Imagine that feeling coming every morning, everyday because of your relationship with God. Not everyone will understand your praise! This is why a child of God can still smile when they going thru because we know we already have the victory. Just like nobody can talk noise to you about your team after they won the game. Nothing they say matter because WE WON!!! ‪#‎Gotthevictory
