Friday Gospel

Repost from Michael ShoNuff Glenn:

Sometimes in Life Ya Just Have To STOP Seeing the good in SOME Folks and Start Seeing What They Show You..

BE RESPECTFUL 

BE HUMBLE 

I’m learning how to do this daily. We want to believe that everyone has good in them, but when they show you otherwise, it’s difficult. Truth be told, some people are evil and rotten to the core. 

Giving People Their Flowers While They're Living

It's sad some people give folks their flowers once they're gone. I don't know if it's pride keeping them from squashing conflict or what, but life is too short for nonsense. If you have love for someone, show it. When they're gone, it's too late to show them love because they won't feel it.

This & That Don't Mix

 

Imaginary Aid

I don't think l will ever understand foreign aid sent to these countries, or sending troops overseas to fight in battles when we have so many problems on our own soil. One day maybe this country will get it right. 

Today’s Thought: Keep Success Private

A sign someone is living their best life: they are accomplishing things everyday, but keeping them private. 

A lion doesn’t roar after a kill 

Question Of The Day: Are We Willing?

For Christians: Are we willing to be sent by God? We should be. We are called to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Protecting What's Yours

Why Gospel Singer Kierra Sheard Has Friends At A Hotel 

When I read this article, the first word that came to mind was trust. She doesn't trust her man NOT to sleep with any of her girlfriends, so she sends her friends to a hotel. If she has to do all that, maybe she needs new friends OR...a new husband. It's not her responsibility to police a grown man; it's HIS job not to put his wife in a position to have to put safeguards up. Are some men that weak for women? I'm just asking because anytime a man is caught in infidelity, some folks try to excuse his sinful act by blaming his "flesh" Look, ALL of us have & do fall short, but at some point, we need to use wisdom and avoid getting caught up. This article sounds like her husband was caught slipping with one of her girlfriends, and like most women, she stood by her man. I'm sure she let him have it but feels like she has to protect her marriage by not entertaining any potential temptation. Whether she trusts her man is a mystery. I think she makes her job as a wife harder than necessary, but that's on her.

Who really has time to watch an adult 24-7 to make sure they do right by them? If I have to police my wife to make sure she's faithful to me, then I don't want marriage. I have business to tend to, so my spouse needs to be grown and honor the vows she took & vice versa. Shout out to the brother for this comment: 

Sidney's comment ties into what I said previously about having to police an adult. It does seem like a man's sexual responsibility falls on the wife because the moment he cheats, some people justify his mistake by saying, "his wife must not have been meeting his sexual needs". Like the brother in the comment said, "Temptation & weakness is not a legitimate excuse for a man to give into his sexual desires." Hebrews 4:15-Jesus faced temptation, but did not sin. If Jesus didn't sin, then men should have enough sense NOT to put themselves in compromising positions. Flat out, some Christian men are hoes. Sorry to use that term, but I have to call it what it is.
