I’ve talked about forgiveness before. Today I am going to focus on these verses: Matthew 18:21-22 English Standard Version (ESV) The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant 21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to […]

Lives Matter
Now I know a lot of people will get mad at the title saying it takes away from the BLM movement. It does not. To me the BLM movement is fake. Now before you get in an uproar over that comment, Black lives do matter, but so does everyone else’s. There is a specific group […]
Offending God
Luke 17 New King James Version (NKJV) Jesus Warns of Offenses 17 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, […]
Excessive Force
Police all across the country are being criticized for their use of excessive/lethal force against blacks. I am sorry, but so what. I do not mean that their lives are not important, they are. Most of the time the person being killed was a criminal who attacked an officer or who was approaching an officer […]
Hatred
There is so much anger and hatred in our country and worldwide that is it unreal. We all need to take a step back and look at what we have become or are becoming. There is movement or so I have heard to remove all shows that demonstrate the police as good people. There rationale […]
Guilty or Not
In this country we are presumed innocent until found guilty. This is unique because in many countries you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. However, while that is how it is supposed to be, that is not how it is these days. These days, people are tried by the news media based on what […]
White Privilege
White Privilege, White Privilege, White Privilege. This is all I am hearing about these days. My niece accused my sister and her husband of white privilege and my sons girlfriend accused her parents of white privilege. They are both wrong. Someone who works hard for the things they have is not privileged. My niece was […]
Bitterness
Lets define bitterness: anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment. a deep-seated ill will I would say that describes a large majority of the population. This is what the media and politicians thrive on. These groups use anger, disappointment, being treated unfairly, and resentment to rile up the masses. Don’t believe me, just turn […]
Forgiveness
I know that for most of us forgiving another is a very difficult task, but I am instructed by the Lord to forgive no matter what. There is no plan B and it does not matter what the other person has ever done to you, you are to forgive. Colossians 3:13 English Standard Version (ESV) […]
Anger
It seems like everywhere you look these days, people are just angry, but I am not really sure why. I have some guesses such as: People are home and interacting with family members more They are not happy with their situation They are frustrated with not working They are frustrated with not being able to […]
