I went to the Dentist today and while I was waiting for the bus I was observing the birds and remembering scriptures about how God cares for them.

after the Dentist I was thinking about this: God gave humans the ability to reproduce—and we do. But it is clearly also OUR RESPONSIBILTY to teach our children to DENY THEMSELVES but often we don’t. In fact the world standard is to make the best of themselves which is often parentally reinforced.

For it is by grace you were saved it is a gift so that is not by works so that no one may boast. Christ has given us His righteousness because we can’t earn it on our own.

We were set for Hell but Christ took all that away by giving us His righteousness so it doesn’t matter what you make of yourself.

God IS NOT something that will make society happy He never has. But with society happy or not, it’s still the ONLY truth out there.

The Bible says that if we are free then we are free indeed but what are we free from? We are no longer TRYING to be righteous because God gave us His righteousness. So we are FREE INDEED!

To believe in God and what He has said and done for you is to set yourself apart from this World in the same way that you are set apart from Satan.

When we say that we’re going to ‘hold on to Jesus’ that does not just mean Him as a person it means His word and Him as a person because His word is NOT in support of this world.
