As Believers in Jesus Christ, we have a joy because we are saved from the penalty of sin and from the power of sin so that it may not have dominion over us in this life if we walk in the spirit.

Whatever God commands us to do we strive to do in obedience.  For wives there are many commands and many helps from God to equip a wife to be obedient, faithful, and wise. Philippians 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 2 Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Matthew 5:16 KJV Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven . Wives: The degree to which you submit to your husband is the degree to which you submit to the Lord. Colossians 3:18   Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Ephesians 5:24   Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. James 3:17 KJV But the wisdom that is f...

1 Corinthians 5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. EXTORTIONER:  The Greek determines this is an adjective.  Remember what an adjective is: a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it. A person that acts like an EXTORTIONER: 1. exceedingly and violently greedy, ravenously predatory, extortionate, rapacious. 2. (thus) taking great pleasure in pursuing and successfully exploiting others (while thinking highly of themselves). RAILER : adjective again. abusive. COVETOUS : adjective holding (desiring) more, i.e. eager for gain (avaricious, hence a defrauder) drunkard, idolater, and fornicator are more obvious. Many narcissists are all of these things. What to do if you are married to narcissistic/abusive spouse? ...

John 9:39-41 KJV And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind . 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth . Galatians 6:3 KJV   For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

James 3:1-11 KJV  1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 But the tongue can no man...

It seems I've always thought that Jesus gave a new commandment of Love they neighbor as thyself. But the new commandment Jesus gave was more like, love each other as I have loved you. So that is very different from what is written in Leviticus: Leviticus 19:18 KJV Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. And I was thinking Jesus was giving a new commandment for us to love one another as He has loved us. Well, it does look like this was Jesus telling the disciples that were with him that he has a new thing to tell them.  And he does: Jesus said these words to the disciples: John 13:34 KJV A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. So this is something somewhat new because it is Jesus telling His disciples to love one another as Jesus loved them.  These real people that lived were taught in perso...

Recently I listened to a sermon about miracles and if they are for today or not.  As I've experienced life as a believer in Jesus Christ I've often listened to preachers or people that have been Christian for many years and study the bible and read a lot of books about the bible and I've made many observations. Making Stuff Up: Many times teachers and preachers teach what man has taught them learning from those that have a specific doctrine and one of their rules seem to be: Thou shalt not contradict your doctrine of man. For example. I was listening to a baptist preacher speaking on what miracles are and are not. Now remember the audience he is speaking to generally speaking doesn't believe in demons having any ability to influence a believer.  Much denial come out from this false belief. I don't even think they realize they have this blind spot. Question: Define Miracle Doctrinal blind spot: Rarely acknowledging the supernatural leads to people that...
