Question Of The Day: Do Christians Want Revival

So many Christians want revival, but are WE (believers) ready for revival? Some believers truly desire revival, but when it happens, many of them may not be able to handle it. 

Going Through Troubled Water

 

God is wild. He's showing me how to view trials through this lens. Mature believers will understand the above picture because when God takes you through troubled waters, he's there with you & is drowning your enemies. How awesome is that? To go through hard times as a believer, knowing your enemies won't be at the finish line? I used to complain when bad situations beyond my control happen, but now...I'm learning to look at trials through this lens because if my enemies won't be at the finish line, then God has my permission (not that he needs it) to take me through deep water because I know when I come out, no enemies will be waiting. Even if they were, it's already handled.

America Is NOT A Nation Under God: Charity Israel

 

Facts...all facts. How can believers demand godly behavior from ungodly people? They can lead by example, but it's still the unsaved person's choice to follow Christ or reject him.

Today's Thought

Harsh message, but it needs to be said. I'm tired of reading articles about children and pets dying from being left in hot cars in the summer. Children & pets (even adults) can't endure a hot car for long so why leave them to die? Makes no sense. The only time my dogs are in the car is when we're going for a drive, and I have the A/C on. Otherwise, they stay home while I run errands. With the heat & humidity being like it is, I restrict my dogs outside time to early mornings and late evenings; those times of day it's cooler & they enjoy it better. These tragedies can be prevented if parents and pet owners exercise a little common sense.

Student Debt Relief: Students Scammed By For-Profit Institutions

Student debt relief has been discussed in the news & media, with Biden cancelling another $8 billion for students scammed by for-profit institutions. Right On! Students scammed by for-profit institutions SHOULD have their debt cancelled because it's not their fault their school scammed them, so why should they have to repay loans through no fault of their own? That's ridiculous. Unlike most whiners, I'm happy for those who had student debt wiped out. That's money the recipients can use to start families, businesses, save for retirement, etc. Now...some people are BIG MAD because students scammed by for-profit schools had their debt wiped out. I'm sick & tired of these clowns whining like babies: "WAAAAA WAAAAA, where's my relief? I sacrificed to repay student loans, they should too. I didn't go to college, why should I have to repay others' debts" A lot of student debt relief opponents like to scream taxpayer cost, or they say "It's an insult to those who repaid their student loans" The same arguments are recycled. Guess what? The targeted relief already went through so people need to grow up and stop crying about relief that others received. Just because YOU didn't receive the break someone else did, that gives you a right to be in your feelings over their blessing? Shut up, seriously. It speaks volumes about society when people can be offended over another's relief. I'm sure the complainers got breaks others' wished they received, right? Miss me with that crybaby stuff. Jealousy is not a good look, especially when it comes to student debt relief that others have received. We have got to stop celebrating the struggle. Again, I salute everyone who was/is the recipient of student debt cancellation. I'm pretty sure more student debt relief will be coming soon, and then what are the haters going to complain about next? Knowing them, they'll recycle the same arguments: You took out a loan, you pay it back; It's an insult to those who repaid their loans, taxpayer cost, I sacrificed to repay my loans, they should too; where's my relief, do I get a refund, etc.

Thursday Message: Blessings Don't Come With Sin

It's a curse. You won't enjoy that "blessing" because you did wrong to get it. God's blessings come with no sorrow.
