Are You Blocking Your Blessing?

“   You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials   so that the genuineness of your faith more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ . ” 1 Peter. 1:6-7 Have you ever noticed that many so called Christian have the ability to point at your failure toward God, at the very time when you need them to lift you up? This is especially true when you are struggling through something in your walk with God. Rather than exhort you and strengthen you to continue in your walk with God they. Accuse you for failing in your walk with God, because you are struggling. It is as if they believe that because you are going through some problem in life you are in more sin then they are! They sit up on their high horse and look down on you because of your problems. This is a natural reaction of those that truly do not know God. Their lack of knowle...

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [ a ] great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

Ok these kids did it to me again. The question two weeks ago is why does the Bible say nothing about dinosaurs?    Here is my answer. Now when we look into the question what I really hear being asked is “The Bible must be wrong because it does not say anything about Dinosaurs” But the assumption is just wrong There are many animals the Bible never specifically mentions, including cats, kangaroos, elephants, aardvarks, anteaters, platypuses, and penguins. Should we say that these animals never existed? To say that these animals do not cohabit the Earth with man because the Bible does not mention them, would, of course, be false. To assume dinosaurs and humans never lived together because “the Bible doesn’t mention dinosaurs,” is equally erroneous. Conclusion; Simply because the Scriptures do not mention an animal does not mean that the Bible teaches the animal never existed.  For a hundred years scientist said there was a dinosaur called a brontos...
