03/06/2026 While read this verse in Paul's letter I began to think about teenagers:

1 Corinthians 8:2 NLT
2 Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much.


You do not become wise until you realize that there are a lot of things you do not know. You will want to continue to learn new things and take advantage of the good knowledge acquired from the older generations. These are the teenagers who are truly wise especially the one's who have Jesus running their life.

Our teenagers are going to be part of running this country soon and I encourage all of you to become wise with Jesus. Maybe you can make godly things happen in this country that my generation never put the effort into. Our motto was "Place head in sand and the problem will go away." This thinking only made the problem worse. Abortion is what it is today because my generation did not take a stand against it. I pray your generation will solve these problems because my generation failed miserably. Jesus even wants to help you succeed!
03/05/2026 When I read these verses from Paul, I really see how awesome you ladies are! Even though men can do what you do, our pride prevents us from performing like you do. I know because my buddy tells me about stubborn husbands in our ministry who do their thing while you wives are praying for him and putting up with his nonsense. You are very noble:

1 Corinthians 7:12-16 NLT
12 Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a fellow believer has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her. 13 And if a believing woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him. 14 For the believing wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the believing husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy. 15 (But if the husband or wife who isn’t a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the believing husband or wife is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in peace.) 16 Don’t you wives realize that your husbands might be saved because of you? And don’t you husbands realize that your wives might be saved because of you?


Every man who is slow at turning his life over to Jesus should praise his wife for sticking with him until he finally figured out that he needs Jesus in his life too. The world is a better place because of your patience. Men could be as influential as you ladies are, but we let that "I can do it on my own" pride prevent us from being like you.

I do know there are men out there who are responsible for bringing their wives to the Lord, but you ladies win this contest hands down.
03/04/2026 If we are living for Jesus Christ it is hard to imagine that anything like this would ever happen:

1 Corinthians 6:1-8 NLT
Avoiding Lawsuits with Christians
6 When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! 2 Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? 3 Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. 4 If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church? 5 I am saying this to shame you. Isn’t there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues? 6 But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers!

7 Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your fellow believers.


As believers we should know better, Paul leaves us with this message:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NLT
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

It is never to late to repent to get back on track but change needs to occur or our repentance is phony.

1 Corinthians 6:11 NLT
11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
03/03/2026 I used to think President Trump was just a great president. But after watching the media, the FBI, and the entire system unite against one man...

I realized something:
You do not get attacked like that unless you are a threat to them. That is when I discovered he is the greatest President of all time.

Another thing that makes him cool he is not afraid to mention the name of Jesus Christ in front of people.

Lord, I ask you to give President Trump and those under him the wisdom to conquer this Iran deal and that the devil is defeated because of what he is doing to the country of Iran. We wouldn't be disappointed if you give our military favor at removing the enemy too. Protect the lives and equipment of those who serve this great country. We understand that those in our services put the word "Free" in freedom

Jesus Christ - Commander & Chief

Joshua 1:9 NLT
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
03/02/2026 I listened to a pastor today talking about Proverbs 5. This is about a father talking to his son about woman. Women can either ruin your life forever or be your greatest honor if you do it right. Even though promiscuous women exits today, the greatest threat to a great relationship is pornography. Satan hates the family and pastor's who represent God and tries to entrap them into pornography and anyone else that he can snare. The addiction to pornography degrades the woman you supposedly have given your life to. The last verses in chapter 5 talks about the danger of these addictions.

Proverbs 5:21-23 NLT
21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does,
examining every path he takes.
22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins;
they are ropes that catch and hold him.
23 He will die for lack of self-control;
he will be lost because of his great foolishness.


It is time to remove any addictions from our lives that are holding us back from being what Jesus Christ calls us to be. If you are like me, I do enough stupid things already. I do not need sins that me make me look even more stupid.

This pastor I listened to conquered his addiction to pornography through Jesus Christ. Jesus can conquer any addiction in our lives if we really want to give them up. That is the question!
03/01/2026 Why does seem like God is quiet when we are being tested? Someone had a great analogy for this. I bet everyone of you can relate to this. When you were in high school the teacher would give us all tests. That teacher would be silent while we took the test. The teacher wanted to know what we have learned. So it is the same with God!

James 1:3 NLT
For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
02/28/2026 For those who love to take this verse wrong to get away from standing up against evil:

Matthew 7:1-2 NLT
Do Not Judge Others
7 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.


Paul commands us to judge:

1 Corinthians 5:12-13 NLT
12 It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”


Even though we may not challenge the outsiders vocally, we need to continue to judge outsiders to determine if it is right to do what they do. If it is evil, we need to run from it. Lets stay pure as much as we can. If we are truly children of Jesus we need to do this just like Paul instructed Timothy:

1 Timothy 6:11 NLT
Paul’s Final Instructions
But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
02/27/2026 I have watched people come to church for a few weeks then all of the sudden they are gone. When I ask them about missing them, they usually reply, "The church did not fit my needs." Isn't this reverse thinking? We should be asking, "What can I do to fill the need of this church?" Paul talks about people joining skills to enhance the churches of Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 4:15-16 NLT
15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.


When you are part of an active church, do what Paul says:

1 Corinthians 1:10-13 NLT
Divisions in the Church
10 I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 11 For some members of Chloe’s household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters. 12 Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others are saying, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.”

13 Has Christ been divided into factions? Was I, Paul, crucified for you? Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? Of course not!


Each church should have these common interests:
1. Speak God's word. No sugar coating allowed.
2. Honor the name of Jesus Christ.
3. Love people and share the gospel with the world and the people who come into the church.
4. Stand up against evil even if it is at the ballot box. Let the Holy Spirit come into every service. He is a sign that the truth is being taught and the name of Jesus is being honored in the worship.

If a church cannot do these things, I would leave them to God's judgement. Remember that "Jesus is Lord" and should be the head of every body of believers. Always ask, "Jesus, what can I do here to best serve you."
02/26/2026 There are two verses in the bible that can almost replace the entire law of God if they are truly followed:

Matthew 22:37-39 NLT
Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’,


Jesus came to simplify the blood sacrifice requirement for the forgiveness of sins. As men we could never get this right. This fulfilled that part of God's law of shedding blood for the forgiveness of sins. The only thing that is missing here is the instructions on how to do certain things God wants. So it is still good to keep his law. It also shows us when we are doing things right.

Let Love Live!!!!!!!
02/24/2026 Even though America is the greatest place in the world there still a lot of sinning going around. Yet I still see the blessings on our nation from God. Why is that? You would think God would be cursing us by now. This could be one reason:

Exodus 34:6 NLT
The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.

Numbers 14:18 NLT
‘The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty. He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations.’


If God was like me, he would have buttons that could be pushed. I am learning to love people, so it does not bother me much when someone pull out in front of me if they continue to get the lead out. I realize that with all of the traffic on the roads it is hard to merge into traffic. What infuriates me is when they pull out in front of me then drive slowly. If God had my buttons, it would be like giving someone a flyswatter in the fly season. It could get messy. I am thankful that God is not like me. It is still possible to push God too far. King Josiah found this out. When they found scrolls in the temple they realized they had not been following God's law. The prophets gave Josiah a word about these sins:

2 Chronicles 34:23-28 NLT
23 She said to them, “The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken! Go back and tell the man who sent you, 24 ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster on this city and its people. All the curses written in the scroll that was read to the king of Judah will come true. 25 For my people have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to pagan gods, and I am very angry with them for everything they have done. My anger will be poured out on this place, and it will not be quenched.’

26 “But go to the king of Judah who sent you to seek the Lord and tell him: ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the message you have just heard: 27 You were sorry and humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this city and its people. You humbled yourself and tore your clothing in despair and wept before me in repentance. And I have indeed heard you, says the Lord. 28 So I will not send the promised disaster until after you have died and been buried in peace. You yourself will not see the disaster I am going to bring on this city and its people.’”


Israel and Judah were eventually conquered by Babylon and hauled off to a foreign country. This lasted for 70 years. There were men like Daniel who loved and served God but still fell into God's judgment. Our sins do affect the innocent when God's anger cannot be quenched.

I believe the next judgment against us will be the tribulation. It cannot be stopped either. I believe we have pushed God too far and it is just around the corner. I also believe just like what God did for Josiah that if we are truly repentant and try to model our life after Jesus Christ that God will delay his judgment for us too. The Old Testament is full of stories where people have changed the timing of God's events. God is waiting to see what his children will do.
02/22/2026 There are times in our lives when we think everything is against us. We may even think our life is not fair. After all my neighbor's Facebook page shows he does not have to go through any of this garbage. I do realize Facebook can never be trusted to be accurate.

You begin to be ashamed when you find out that in the 1800's there was a man who worked hard and developed a real estate empire in Chicago. We have heard of the great Chicago fire in our history class. Well, this same fire destroyed everything he worked for. It was such a heart break that he wanted to go to Europe to get away from it all. He sent his wife and four daughters on ahead while he finished up some details. That ship collided with a freighter and he lost all four daughters in the crash. He quickly got passage on another ship to comfort his wife from the tragedy. While in route to Europe the captain talked in front of him about the ships that crashed at this very spot.

While many would curse God for this kind of tragedy, this guy did not. He wrote the song "It Is Well with My Soul". This in the premise for the movie "If Only you Can Imagine 2". The movie was about these things:

Bart Millard's Father: Lead singer Bart Millard’s father, Arthur Wesley Millard Jr., passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1991. This event and his father's transformation to Christianity inspired the hit song "I Can Only Imagine". This song came about when Bart truly forgave his Dad. Unforgiveness stiffles the productivity God wants to give us.

The movie talks about the difficulty Bart had dealing with raising a son with severe type 1 diabetes. Tim Timmons was instrumental at getting Bart on track.

Tim Timmons: While Tim Timmons is not a member of MercyMe, he is a Christian singer-songwriter who co-wrote the song "Even If" with the band and has been living with incurable cancer for over two decades. Bart was living a "Woe is me" life and told Tim you have no idea what I am going through. When Tim told Bart he was dying of cancer, he started to realize that he was the one who did not understand.

Family Members: The song "Even If" was written regarding Bart Millard's son's battle with Type 1 diabetes, but in testimonies, fans and band members have discussed the song in the context of loved ones, including relatives, fighting cancer.

After the top seller "I Can Only Imagine" the bands recording sales dropped. Bart needed to develop a relationship with his son liked
God wanted it. Tim asked Bart for help to finish the song he wrote but Bart would not listen to it until the cancer sent Tim to the hospital. Bart finally listened to the song and co-wrote the song "Even If" while Tim was in the hospital. This song is every bit as a big seller as their first hit.

I encourage everyone to see this movie. The sad part was being a newer movie that my wife and I another couple were the only ones there on a Sunday. Let's promote movies that honor God and bring revenue to the theaters that they will demand more movies like this.

This movie makes one think: If I lost everything including my family would I write a song like "It is Well With My Sole" or would I withdraw from being effective for God. Would I realize that withdrawing never solves anything, but creates despair?
02/19/2026 We all know about this promise from God:

Jeremiah 29:11-12 NLT
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen.


If you have been searching after God, I bet many of you have amazing talents that your are getting good at. My buddy without mentioning names is impressed with your accomplishments. God wants this to happen to us just because of how we live our lives for him. The problem that can happen when God blesses us amazingly is that we forget to give credit to the one who gave it to us in the first place. King Uzziah fell into this trap:

2 Chronicles 26:16-21 NLT
Uzziah’s Sin and Punishment
16 But when he had become powerful, he also became proud, which led to his downfall. He sinned against the Lord his God by entering the sanctuary of the Lord’s Temple and personally burning incense on the incense altar. 17 Azariah the high priest went in after him with eighty other priests of the Lord, all brave men. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is the work of the priests alone, the descendants of Aaron who are set apart for this work. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned. The Lord God will not honor you for this!”

19 Uzziah, who was holding an incense burner, became furious. But as he was standing there raging at the priests before the incense altar in the Lord’s Temple, leprosy suddenly broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the high priest and all the other priests saw the leprosy, they rushed him out. And the king himself was eager to get out because the Lord had struck him. 21 So King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house, for he was excluded from the Temple of the Lord. His son Jotham was put in charge of the royal palace, and he governed the people of the land.


I know many you have worked to get where you are at today but never forget where your talents came from in the first place. God silently opens doors to our minds and reveals things to us that we many times take credit for. I myself have seen God give me multiple solutions in the last 3 months to solve coding problems that I have been working on for years. It is possible to be blessed and not let pride destroy us. Uzziah's son Jotham proved that this is possible:

2 Chronicles 27:6 NLT
6 King Jotham became powerful because he was careful to live in obedience to the Lord his God.


If your pride becomes to big you may face something you do not like Uzziah did. Remember a insignificant shepherd became king of Israel. Only Jesus has his name mentioned more then David in the bible. Do not look down on anyone or you may end up serving them. And for sure do not challenge the rules of our King. I still wonder what was going on Uzziah's head when he went into the temple. Does power warp our thoughts like that. It is probably a good idea that God keeps most of us from get too powerful.
02/16/2026 I was reading about King Jehoshaphat and all the good things he was doing for the Lord. When we live our lives for Jesus we need to focus on who we associate with while we walk with him. King Jehoshaphat did not think about this:

2 Chronicles 20:35-37 NLT
35 Some time later King Jehoshaphat of Judah made an alliance with King Ahaziah of Israel, who was very wicked. 36 Together they built a fleet of trading ships at the port of Ezion-geber. 37 Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu from Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat. He said, “Because you have allied yourself with King Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy your work.” So the ships met with disaster and never put out to sea.


When you ally yourself with evil people your good intentions can end in disaster. Your hard work may go up in smoke. Paul even warns us about this:

Ephesians 5:11 NLT
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.


1 Thessalonians 5:22 NLT
Stay away from every kind of evil.


I myself like what AI can do and have used it but I also realize it has the power to take God out of the equation. I am turning down the income potential of AI to not be part of something that will never glorify the name of our King. I also believe there are evil men who are helping develop it. Honoring God is the last thing on their mind. What is even more scary if it will be used to persecute Christians in the near future.
02/15/2026 2 Chronicles 26:5
Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the Lord, God gave him success.


I really believe this verse is not for kings only. Both you and I can see the same results if it is God who sits on the throne. The question we need to ask ourselves "Do we really want this because his guidance may be something we do not want?"

God does not put anything in his word that we cannot use in our own lives. A cold heart can stop what God wants to do for us.
02/14/2026 This verse makes me think Paul may be losing it here:

Romans 12:14 NLT
14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.


After all isn't this like rewarding people for bad behavior which would encourage them to sin even more. Shouldn't then God bless me for my bad behavior too.

Paul also knows this that the heathen go out for revenge if anything like this happens to them. We are meant to be different. Paul says we have this promise:

Romans 12:19-20 NLT
19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,

“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,”[a]
says the Lord.

20 Instead,

“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads.”


My buddy uses this last one all the time to reach the gangs. It works just like Paul says. Are we not in the business of saving people? Lets use whatever we can to reach people for Jesus. Paul also knows that if we use evil against evil that evil propagates. It is time to conquer evil with good. You can bless people without condoning their behavior.
02/13/2026 When all know John 3:16 It really takes love to give up the life of your special son for someone else. Paul is the only one I know who describes how powerful that love is:

Romans 8:38-39 NLT
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.


We walk away from God. He never walks away from us. If we reject him, he will leave us alone. I know he does not go too far away because I have seen God protect people who appeared to be hopeless but because a single situation occurring in their life, they give their hearts to Jesus. Jesus can forgive us for anything we do to him. But are we ready to serve him and make a life change for him in return.
02/11/2026 Sometime I feel like I am dense when I read God's word. Issac is so much more than a promise to Abraham:

Romans 9:7-9 NLT
7 Being descendants of Abraham doesn’t make them truly Abraham’s children. For the Scriptures say, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted,” though Abraham had other children, too. 8 This means that Abraham’s physical descendants are not necessarily children of God. Only the children of the promise are considered to be Abraham’s children. 9 For God had promised, “I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”


Isaac is the key through which his covenant follows. Kudos to those who already knew this. I just found out. The sad part about this is I missed it in the old testament too:

Genesis 17:19
But God replied, “No—Sarah, your wife, will give birth to a son for you. You will name him Isaac, and I will confirm my covenant with him and his descendants as an everlasting covenant.


The motto is, "Even if your dad is Abraham, you may fall outside of God's covenant". Paul calls those of Isaac "The children of the promise".

You may ask what does all this have to do with you and me. Remember what Paul said:

Romans 11:17 NLT
But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree.


Pretty cool now! But wait if we become arrogant or we do not produce fruit:

Romans 11:18 NLT
But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.


Thank you Lord for letting the Gentiles have access to your Kingdom too. Let our minds and heart realize the honor it is to be part of you. Nourish us so we can produce good fruit always.
02/10/2026 Accounting and Inventory is a great way to keep track of where your money and time is going and keeping track of what you bought and have in your life. This prevents oneself from overspending, duplicating and seeing if merchandise is being stolen. This is a good thing to do when doing earthly things.

Now on the spiritual side, keeping track of everything can be dangerous. Paul does not want us to ignore what is going on around us, but if we truly love people he said this:

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NLT
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.


When you do spiritual accounting and inventory try not to be so precise and keep track of everything that people do to you. If we truly love someone we won't want to write everything down. Jesus is a master at forgetting to write stuff down. When he forgives us he loses that data. Shouldn't we do the same thing Jesus does when people ask for forgiveness. Even if they don't, holding on to that wrong will make you bitter. So just let it go. Last time I heard is that we serve a God of justice. Let him take care of it.

LET LOVE LIVE!!!!!!!

1 Corinthians 13:6-7 NLT
6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
02/09/2026 One of my concerns that I see is that people don't take the gift of salvation seriously. They feel that they do not have to change to accept it. One person testified that this was him.

Before I gave my life to Jesus, I was definitely lost. I was under the impression that I understood what it meant to be saved, but my life was still full of sin. I was walking around every day with the weight of my sins, often feeling heavily convicted even over things that had happened long ago. I never really understood what it meant to give my life to God fully in repentance. I knew that if I died then I would not have gone to heaven. I wanted to give my life fully to the Lord, live for Him, and grow like never before. I repented and surrendered my life to Jesus on October 1st, 2025. On that day, I felt as if I was literally a new human.

Since then, God has revealed to me a lot about myself and about Himself. I’ve also begun to feel more conviction for certain behaviors or habits in my life that I otherwise wouldn’t have noticed. And while these things haven’t always been easy to grow in, I am learning that my walk with God requires time and effort.?I’m confident that giving my life to Jesus was and will always be the best decision I ever made. For that reason, I am determined to follow God all the days of my life.


Since Jesus is Lord, he reveals things to all of us in different ways but in the end our love for him should increase as we live under his authority. He will in turn show us what we need to change in our lives and the cool plans he has for us. This is the most important thing "I am determined to follow God all the days of my life."
02/08/2026 My buddy knows how to confuse his enemies when God called him to bring the gospel to gangs and drug cartels. When they threaten to kill him, he will always say, "Before you kill me, let me pray for you first. It doesn't matter if it is someone else you love, let's pray for them right now, then you can kill me!"

He can say this with confidence. He has learned to trust God with his life. This always catches them off guard. Praying changes their plans of destruction. Jesus knew it would too:


Matthew 5:43-45 NLT
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.


We have to live with our enemies but we don't have to accept it. Let your love actions for Christ change the world!
