Domestic Tranquility

Football star 26 years old dies as a result of a domestic dispute. Major golf star marriage is mot likely on the rocks as extramarital affairs are revealed. Football player killed and his mistress is dead in a murder suicide. These tragic stories serve to illustrate that fame and money cannot protect anyone from the awful cost of going against God’s Word. These are very public tragedies being played out on the world stage. I wonder if anyone is paying attention.

The book of Proverbs gives clear directions on marriage and staying away from extra marital affairs. It states that one cannot take fire into one’s bosom and not get burnt. The way to stay safe is to not play with the fire of illicit passions. Stopping before one starts is the only 100% way to be protected.

Lip Enhancement

Some women have achieved today’s’ fashionable pouty look by receiving silicone injections in their lips. They pay and endure the pain to keep up with the Hollywood trend setters. Isn’t it amazing that Proverbs enjoins us to also enhance the look of our mouths. Listen to Solomon’s words written thousands of years ago, “The lips of knowledge are a precious thing.” In order to have truly beautiful lips we should speak with the knowledge of God in or hearts and minds.

Songs in the Night

This week marks eight years since the sudden and unexpected passing of my late husband Winston. That was a strange land for me. The land of loss and death. At first I needed to hear others sing because the song in my heart was frozen with grief and I was traumatized. I’d sing God’s song later with help from others. There were tapes I listened to that reminded me of the Lord’s song. It was the voice on the radio or the television that told me God would bring me out of these trials. It was the voice of my mother telling me and reminding me of God’s faithfulness to me in the past. How could I sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? In the next phase on my journey through grief after the sudden death of my husband I tried to sing along with those who were on the journey with me At first I’d only get a few words out before the tears started to flow. I kept trying day after day to sing along. I was reminded of God’s word. I was strengthened by constantly hearing the words of faith and ...
