Making It Plain

In this day and age where men have become lovers of self and women...well, we operate from the seed men have sown so what kind of harvest do you think that brings? But God. In this day, you would think that even more so to wait for the leading of the Holy Spirit to guide you to the one that has been created just for you or the one that you were created to help ( John 1:13 AMP ). Frustration is an emotion that pales when hearing of a born again believer that says, "I am not looking for all of the bells and whistles, just companionship." How could you not expect all of the bells and whistles? That's like telling the Lord,  "I know You came for me to have life and have it more abundantly,   BUT I'll be satisfied if I just make it in. I don't need all of that abundance stuff...ok?"  Are you kidding me? So why do you think He got ripped to shreds, nailed to the cross, and spat upon ( Galatians 2:20 KJV )? Huh?

This is a term I find impossible to do - make love. The world coined this term and has equated it with sex. As true believers, we know one has nothing to do with the other; therefore, why even use it? What's the purpose? Confusing? Keep reading so we can be on the same path - a clear, plain one.

James makes reference to specific oppositional actions that tell us the love of God couldn't possibly be in such a person ( James 2:8-12 AMP ). With those directives and instructions, clearly we could not have the ability to make such a thin...

Hi, this will be the first of many entries to this blog. The topic of Christian Dating came about looking at the younger generation as a mother,  former Youth Specialist, and Social Worker.  In gathering information and playing around with a manuscript while in the public library, a woman passed by the sketches for the title and the cover. She oohed and asked if there was going to be a chapter on co-habitating. Pausing for a moment, where would that fit in Christian dating? This is the question that precipitated the purpose for the blog.  Know that everything you will be reading, you might not like (it might even make you angry). That's okay. There is no way this is trying to spiritually feed you dessert each and everyday. Sometimes broccoli and liver are necessary for nutrition too. You may have to walk away and come back to it later. Everything written is for the believer to have the same mind and purpose that the Lord intended. With that, continue....and comments are ...
