You May Never Know What Youre Missing Surely, most everyone who's ever attended church has heard a preacher say, "Faith without works is dead," only to hear echoes in the background chanting, "Uh-huh." He, then, proceeds with, "Show me your faith without your works and I'll show you your faith by my works, " quoting James 2:18 ... which gets the Amen Corner going, "Amen! Right on! Hallelujah! Preach it brother!" Many sit there ...... Similar Editorial : Your Cat Goes Missing by . | Source : Business Responsibility
Peace Makers Some of the most beautiful people in the world are known as ‘peacemakers’. They're often labeled as lazy because they don't match the energy and drive of a doer. Instead, they are more likely to rise to the occasion out of care, compassion, and concern. The peacemaker is tender hearted and generous (with a heart of gold). They're the personality we're most drawn to when we need a listening ear or...... Similar Editorial : Peace Breaks Out by Janette Blackwell. | Source : Business Responsibility
The Best Advise Possible Many have served God for years without having known His voice. The excuse given is 'God now speaks through His Word'. Indeed, He does. None-the-less, God still speaks through visions, revelations, dreams, face to face, in a still small voice, etc. God does not speak to everyone in the exact same way. Though, however many ways we do not believe God speaks - is at least as many ways He would not......

The Final Authority We will all answer to someone, be it foe or be it friend.But, I'm very happy to say, "We answer to God, in the end." While others are, much too busy, judging our own very life ...God, in His mighty great wisdom, has a plan beyond sight. Though words do not always explain what He has called us to do.To Him we should ever obey and to always be true. If we'll only follow Him, we will be blessed with......

Counterfeit Love Some form of the word ‘love’ exists in scripture 543 times and is, conceivably, one of the most abused, excused, and misused words in modern lingo, today. I love your style. I just loved that show. I love the way you fix your hair! I love ice cream. Oh, I love what you've done with this room! I love you in that dress. I love it when you make me laugh. I LOVE YOU ... unless I get hurt ... just don...... Similar Editorial : If You Love Me by Adeyemi Adetosoye. | Source : Dating In College
Writer Wanna Bes Before my discovery of the internet, in attempting to deal with Christian publishers, I came to realize what preachers have known for a long time. Many publishers use the 'Christian' name for a fast buck. Like others, they want to know who you know and everything else possible that might prove your book will sell on the merit of your name, only; without regard to what is actually inside the cover.......

Leaving Your Financial Wilderness ~ Leaving Your Financial Wilderness ~ One’s instinct to survive goes against giving all, as if we’d lose all that’s left. And, whatever we think we possess is just a figment of our imagination. Yet, we cling to it for dear life. Consider conscious choices you’ve made. Didn't you think they were yours? Truth is, every thought keeping us separate from God is based upon a lie. Logic, not given us by...... Similar Editorial : Financial Aid by Cindy Heller. | Source : Finance Forms
Bless The Children Previous generations where raised under the premise that children are to be seen and not heard. If they altered in teaching, the next generation was heard, but their words weren't taken seriously - as adults always think they know more than children do. Following generations often have few to no guidelines, wherein children's behavior screams for someone to care enough to say, "No." Though, what......

Is It Love? W. W. J. D. ? Jesus said ... Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.Mt. 22:37-40So, there you have it. Hang the law ...Is it Love?When you're the picture of health...... Similar Editorial : If You Love Me by Adeyemi Adetosoye. | Source : Match Dating Single
Prayer In Schools Flaws in government fall back on the church, as, divided, we have no voice. Many have mixed thoughts in voting for prayer in schools. Do we want government to teach religion to our children? The next question being, "Which religion?" Once that's considered, "Absolutely not!" Then, why pay taxes for satanic literature offered in school libraries? While some home school, others teach how to be in......
