One should be thankful one has a job, especially considering the state of unemployment. "But godliness with contentment is great gain." - 1 Tim 6:6 |
I pass no personal judgment, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;” - Rom 3:23. GOD HIMSELF is Judge. However, these are one of the many, many signs of the times in which we live, (the very end times) “Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.” - Psalm 96:13 ---- “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” - Romans 1:25-27 |
I pass no personal judgment, GOD HIMSELF IS JUDGE. In fact, The Lord Jesus Christ says “Judge not, that ye be not judged”, but i tell you - "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" -1 Pet 4:17-18 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." - Matt 24:24 "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." - 2 Cor 11:13-15 (also see 2 Thes 2). ---------- Let me encourage everyone, self included, to be a follower of GOD, The Lord JESUS CHRIST only, by HIS grace (not our works), particularly in this day and age (in these very last days), wherein are many deceivers. "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."- Romans 3:4 Pls stay in the infallible, life-giving, true word of GOD, which is pure, abides forever and never deceives. Keep reading and keep praying (1 Thess 5:17), "watch and pray". |
"Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"- Col 3:5-6 “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”- Rom 8:6-7 “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” - Hebrews 13:4 |
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philp 4:6-7 |
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" - 1 Pet 4:17-18 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." - Rev 18:4 |
A husband, and his wife, are to love each other unconditionally, by the grace of The Lord GOD. There is to be no divorce for any reason, including infidelity. "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. " - Matthew 19:6 Remember the account of the woman taken in adultery? (Joh 8:1-11). The Lord JESUS CHRIST's response to the scribes and Pharisees that brought the woman to HIM, in anticipation of stoning her to death according to the law, was "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. " (John 8:7- - "And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst." -John 8:9 Thus, for as much as is in us, by GOD's grace alone, we ought to forgive one another, even and especially our spouses. "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" - Luke 6:37. "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." - Matt 18:21-22, (that is, infinitely.) ------------- "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." - Col_3:19 (Ephe 5:25) |
My pleasure friend, please, to GOD be all praise and glory. "Let GOD be magnified" ----------- “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 |
posted previously: Note: The only biblical reference to the heavenly language of tongues is found in 1st Corinthians, that is, (the spiritual language from GOD, not the "native tongues" in which the apostles spoke (in Acts) to people from different countries/region who they publicly addressed… ["And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" - Acts 2:8.] The GOD given rules/ principles re: tongues - [b]There must always be an interpreter when someone is speaking in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:27; No more than three people are to speak in tongues in an assembly/congregation. 1 Corinthians 14:2; (humbly, not judgmentally, …i've been among people/friends all yelling in "tongues" while in prayer… no one interpreted…"[color=Black]If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?" 1 Corinthians 14:23. This deserves caution! (one toward another, based on the Word of GOD)… Not our way, but the LORD's way, otherwise, we are in error & must correct; The gift of tongues was established by GOD primarily to bring the message of the Gospel to unbelievers, not believers. 1 Corinthians 14:22 The purpose of tongues was also to edify the church -1 Corinthians 14:26; God distributed spiritual gifts as He saw fit. 1 Corinthians 12:11; It wasn't GOD's purpose that everyone have the same spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:30; and The gift of tongues is the least important spiritual gift given by The LORD 1 Corinthians 12:28[/b].[/color] "I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying." (1 Corinthians 14:5). To prophesy is to declare the Word of GOD, from the Bible only, in truth. The value of tongues was in the substantive content, not the actual or perceived/made up experience… & without interpretation tongues was considered useless (1 Corinthians 14:6-19). The church at Corinth (the only one in the Holy Bible in which the use of tongues was briefly documented by GOD) was already abusing it as far as not following the rules of edifying others through interpretation… we must be careful not to carry on in like manner re: such gifts/signs, such is apostasy A sign is a token of something much more phenomenal, that is, "something material or external that stands for or signifies something spiritual", "something indicating the presence or existence of something else signs of success> sign of the times"… 1 Corinthians 14 shows that members of that church (not every single member apparently, but many, & thus generally), were undoubtedly more interested in the phenomenon of the sign/gift of tongues, rather than in its substance… that is the receipt of grace & mercy & eternal life in/through The Lord Jesus Christ through the preaching of the Gospel of GOD's salvation for mankind. We all must be careful not to abuse spiritual gifts (tongues, miracles, signs) contrary to the Word, and to the extent that they become a real distraction away from the true message of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (Which is… "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 - [the second death,, of the soul] "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17, that is, the faith of, The Lord Jesus Christ (not ours). (Romans 3:22, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:20, Galatians 3:22, Ephesians 3:12, Philippians 3:9, Colossians 2:12, 2 Peter 1:1, James 2:1, Revelation 14:12) Another word of caution to us all (from the Word) re: messages outside of Holy Scripture that are reportedly from GOD in form of tongues & the like… The Word of God/The Holy Bible contains more than enough message(s)/revelation/Good News regarding salvation and more, from The LORD that we can ever dream or hope to receive & understand in our lifetime (accumulated over time, "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" 2 Peter 1:21 & "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”" -2 Timothy 3:16-17… all ending with GOD's/The Lord Jesus Christ's revelation to the apostle John in the aisle of Patmos, approx. 62 yrs. after The Lord's glorious resurrection, praise The LORD! It is reasonably conceivable that no man, (or woman), especially in these days has fully understood the entire Bible/Word of GOD/Wisdom of GOD. Thus, we are cautioned to focus on the written Word of GOD only… the answers, all the answers to life are contained in the Word of GOD alone. Once we step out, there are no guarantees of truth, and thus no "safety" regarding messages/gospel(s) we receive outside the Bible. "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." (Proverbs 30:5-6) "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.(Revelation 22:18) "For the word of God is quick [living], and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the hear[/b]t." (Hebrews 4:12) "[b]Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" Tongues? …. "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." 1 Corinthians 14:6-19 May The LORD bless you. |
Exercise is not a bad thing, but too much emphasis on it is; "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." - 1Ti 4:8. Keeping in mind also that, "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." - Proverbs 31:30 . This is truth. |
I have said that GOD's judgment took place on May 21, and the churches are and have been under GOD's righteous judgment (1 Peter 4:17), we see the evidence thereof. I have said that The return of The Lord JESUS CHRIST is imminent and like in a court of law, sentence /execution will be carried out at that time, after judgment is read. Think of it as being on "death row". Now: Find one post wherein i indicated that the world would be destroyed on October 21st, please, just one? If you cannot, then with some dignity /self respect, please, stop following me around on threads, be silent and sit back and wait to see what happens soon enough when judgment is finally executed on this world.. ---- "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." -2 Pet 3:9-13 "Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?" - Amos 5:16-20 "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." - Rev 21:7-8 "wait for it, ". |

The op, asked about predestination and i have tried to answer his question faithfully from the word of GOD. ---- "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

friend, predestination is true because GOD says so repeatedly and “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17 Eph_1:5 - "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will," Eph_1:11 - "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:" Eph_1:4 - "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" The truth of the matter is that since the fall of man, GOD, Who is Righteous and Holy, and Just is/was under no obligation to save anyone. HE (and it) is a Wonder that HE does and has to Sacrifice Himself in The Person of our Lord JESUS CHRIST to justify / pardon anyone. "(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)" - Psa 49:8, and (John 3:16-17). "precious = costly" Note, The Lord JESUS CHRIST says: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44. That is because human beings are born spiritually dead, (1 Corinth 15:22, Rom 5:14, Ezekiel 37 - > Eph 2:1). --------- So, the issue of giving eternal life in one's soul existence, only GOD can do, never man by any operation (baptism, circumcision, "confession of faith", etc). If i may humbly use an illustration, picture all human beings as convicted prisoners who are worthy of death (Rom 3:23, Rom 6:23), all gathered together in a deep pit awaiting execution, then comes The King, who mercifully pardons as many as HE intends to pardon, at great expense to HIMSELF, that is, humbling HIMSELF to undergo their punishment, not because of anything they did, but according to HIS own will and purpose and goodness, HE being infinitely wise and perfect. “The Lord [is] gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, And of great mercy.” - Pss 145:8 "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." -Mar 10:25-27 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-13 May GOD bless you. |
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" - 1 Pet 4:17-18 |
If you feel it is right to insult and call names, that is unfortunate. My GOD, JEHOVAH, The Lord JESUS CHRIST has given me an indescribable gift(s) in HIS goodness, kindness, mercy and magnanimity. By HIS grace, this is not an intellectual exercise for me. "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ," - Phil 3:8 "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." - Matt 5:22 |
friend, from at least 1447 B.C. to 1407 B.C. (Israel's exodus from Egypt to the time of their crossing the Jordan) under GOD's mighty hand and outstretched arm, GOD, through Moses as HIS pen-man/prophet/servant, wrote the first five books of the Bible. "And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel." - Exo 34:27 (also Exo 17:14, Exo 31:4). GOD, The Lord JESUS CHRIST dictated and inspired the apostle John (around A.D. 95) in the isle of Patmos to pen the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelations. "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea." - Rev 1:11 So, GOD wrote The Holy Bible through HIS prophets approx. during this time period. -------- “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." - 2 Pet 1:20-21 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Heb 4:12 |
^^ human beings don't bark by nature. Compare my initial response to the original poster's inquiries (i.e. injustice associated with the method of the spread of The Gospel in Africa, etc) and perhaps you'll understand. I am declaring: ", JEHOVAH, HE is GOD, YAHWEH, HE is GOD". "For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone." - Psa 86:10 |
@TPS360, what you saw on cnn is a clear indication of GOD's righteous judgment on the churches for apostasy / spiritual harlotry, as is on the rest of the world. "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" - 1 Pet 4:17-18 All sin is sin, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;” - Rom 3:23, though the type of sin in question is abominable. We should all search our hearts, by GOD's mercy. ---- "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." - 1 Corinth 6:9-10 (also, Romans 1:25-27) |
friend, GOD was/is under no obligation to save any human being from destruction / HIS righteous wrath for sin (Rom 3:23 & Rom 6:23). It and HE is a Wonder that HE, The Lord JESUS CHRIST, sacrificed HIMSELF in the place of many undeserving humans. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Rom 5:8 "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;" - Col 2:13 I tell you, “The Lord [is] gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, And of great mercy.” - Pss 145:8 (John 3:16-17). "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him." - Psa_18:30 I tell you also, There is only One GOD, - "For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens." - Psa_96:5, "The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands." -Psa_135:15 ------- "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:" - Isa_45:5 "Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me." - Isa_45:21. LORD ---> JEHOVAH, YAHWEH, JESUS CHRIST The Lord. |
That's a pity because there should be no divorce for any reason. Each spouse should love the other unconditionally until death do them part (Ephesians 5:25-32). "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -Matt 19:6 |
friend, don't even think about it (leaving your wife and child). It is not good and the consequences are serious. “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” - Hebrews 13:4. Re: your so called "ex" - "Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids." - Prov 6:25. "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." - Matt 5:28. I tell you, there are consequences. Love your wife and your family. You are the head of your home, and GOD is your head. As a humble captain of your house, you should not "jump ship." There is to be no divorce for any reason: "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." - Matt 19:6 Why not take it to GOD in prayer (Phil 4:6-7), asking for the strength to do what's right. Also, gently and lovingly make your wife what you want her to be. Help her exercise whenever possible, keeping in mind that "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." - 1 Tim 4:8 Put yourself in her shoes. What if you all of a sudden weren't loved because of some fault you had that perhaps you couldn't help & were all of a sudden cast and put away? How would you feel? We husbands are to love our wives unconditionally and help them and vice versa. "For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously." - Mal 2:16 (putting away is divorce and it is bad). "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." - Col 3:19. May GOD bless and guide you. (both of your spend time int he word of GOD together and in prayer and then some recreational activities). "But godliness with contentment is great gain." - 1 Ti_6:6 ------------ "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband." - Eph 5:25-32 |
friend, take it to The Lord GOD in prayer - Phil 4:6-7 |
“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” - Hebrews 13:4 |
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" - 1 Pet 4:17 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." - Rev 18:4 By GOD's mercy and grace, he who has a an ear to hear, will hear. |
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" - 1 Pet 4:17 |
"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." - Prob 31:30 |
The Holy Bible, the only infallible word of GOD by which mankind can be saved, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Heb 4:12 and - “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17 “So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of GOD.” - Rom 10:17 |
friend, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Phil 4:6-7 (be careful means be anxious, for nothing). Take it to GOD in prayer first of all. Second, pray for your wife that GOD may touch her heart and yours and be mindful that GOD hates divorce. "For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously." - Mal_2:16 "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." - Mat_19:6 It is difficult, but that's why you ask GOD for the strength continually to love you wife unconditionally. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" - Eph_5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." - Col 3:19 If GOD would cut off people in The Lord JESUS CHRIST for offending HIM, would any make it to Heaven? That's GOD's mercy. Be merciful also to your wife and exercise patience. May GOD bless you. |
