COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET

    These days we read a lot about people “coming out of the closet”, confessing they have been involved in illicit sexual affairs or other scandals, sometimes having done so for several years.  Careers and marriages and families have been utterly destroyed in the process.  Most recently we’ve read about certain political and sports figures who turned out not to be who and what we had thought them to be.  Sadly, there have even been Christian leaders who participated in such things, though the Bible says it should not be so.  Continue Reading »

   Have you ever felt in your heart that God has broken His promise?  Has your situation ever become so opposite of what is written in His Word that you finally threw up your hands and said, Well, that’s it, the devil was right, God didn’t come through after all?   If so, you’re not alone.  Many people have.  But they forgot the two most important rules when dealing with God:  Number one, God cannot lie.  Number two: If you think He DID, refer to rule number one. Really, life is simple when you live according to those two rules.  Continue Reading »

DON’T COMPLAIN

   We often hear “Don’t worry, be happy”, but have you ever noticed that people who complain are never happy?  And chances are, if you hang around them very long, you won’t be, either.  Complaining cuts you off from happiness, among a few other things, like prosperity and healing, for example.
    I can imagine what it must be like for God to hear a complainer’s prayer, let’s listen in for a moment:  Oh God, don’t you know my family treats me like dirt?  I work my fanny off for them and never get any appreciation…EVER!   And do you know what my sister did to me??  Not to mention that I work way too many hours for a lot less than others get paid.  God, why don’t you ever bless me?  Why don’t you ever……
About that time the Lord sits back in His throne, puts His head in His hand and woefully says  NEXT, please? Continue Reading »
