We live in a society where being told “No!” is a bad word. It has gotten so out of hand that when someone is told “No!”, they get mad and start throwing out accusations. If that does not work, then they start trying to intimidate. If that does not work, they think of something else […]

Unanswered Prayers
I am sure there are a lot of people who pray to God and then get mad when He does not supposedly answer them. There is a flaw in their analysis of God answering prayers. God answers all prayers He hears. The problem is that God does not always give us the answers we want. […]

Cold Heart
I have to admit that my heart is cold towards people. Some of you may be wondering what does that really mean. It means that the way people act these days that my love for them is non-existent. I am to the point where if a person I did not know was in danger, I […]
How to pray
Praying to God is not hard. Remember, it is a conversation with God. The one thing I forgot to mention the other night is that God has told us in the Bible to pray. This is one of the reasons why we pray or at least one of the reasons why we should pray. Lets […]
