Sometimes we feel like we have to do it all on our own. Carry every burden and bare every load but God created us to walk in fellowship with other believers who help us along the way. We are the church for this purpose, to love and help one another. You can't do it all alone (Exodus 18, Moses's Father in law visits)

Husband and wife should compliment each other and never be working against each other, we are team trying to reach the same goals not enemies competing for limited resources.

How do you escape death? Exodus 11-12 Passover lamb Jesus is the answer?

Marriage Monday week #2 One flesh: Unity in marriage. Matthew 19:4-5

There are two main lines of parenting in this world. Your kids are eventually going to be exposed to the world so why hide them from it and the opposite view point of keep your children innocent as long as you can. We choose to do the latter in our home. #BUILDANARKFORYOURFAMILY

Just because I can, doesn't mean that I should! Is God in it?

Marriage Monday #1 (Genesis 2 and Marriage) Today we begin to discuss the topic of Marriage and we begin by starting at the beginning and the creation story from Genesis Chapter 2. Lets see what God has to say about marriage. #MarriageMonday

When did the church stop interceding and just happily accepting the fact that the world is walking into judgement? We are satisfied that we are safe and seem to care less that those around us may be walking straight into eternal pain and punishment. We must once again become intercessors for those around us who need salvation from the judgement to come.

If God passes by are we going to set back and let Him pass or are we going to run to him and invite Him to commune with us. Will you invite God in? Genesis 18

Today we talk about getting a hold of God and not letting go. Grappling with God is not for the weak of heart because it will change who you are.

God helps those who helps himself! Is that really in the Bible? Today let's take a look at what helping God out can do! #Ishmael #abrahamandsarah #Hagar #waitingonGod

We have work to do..

We are building an ARK! Noah did so much more than build a boat. He worked to preserve his family through obedience to God. #noahsark

What wold Noah say about our world today? Repent? It's what Jesus preached. It's what John the baptist preached. Join me on my journey through Genesis.

Have you talked about it and cried and complained over it enough and now you realize you just need GOD to speak into your situation. After all God did create everything out of nothing with just words. May the Creator of the Universe speak into your life today and create the answer you need. #Genesis #CreatorGod

A midnight visitor (Parable of the 10 virgins Matthew 25:1-13) One of the most troubling things that can happen is to be unexpectedly awoken in the middle of the night. A loud noise in the home at night automatically stirs fear in your heart that someone may be trying to break into your home while you are sleeping. The phone ringing at a late hour immediately brings fear because no one would be calling this late unless something was wrong. Someone knocking at your door in the middle of the night couldn’t be a good thing. In our parable, we see that half of the virgins are caught off guard by the fact that the bridegroom returns at midnight hour. They were probably awoken from a dead sleep when cries began to ring out that the bridegroom had returned (verse 6); this caught the foolish virgins off guard. We must ensure that we are always ready for the return of the bridegroom (Jesus) or we too may be caught off guard like the foolish virgins. Living in Southern WV almost every home is ready to greet an expected midnight-hour visitor to their home. We sleep with a firearm on or near our nightstand so that are never caught off guard by a would-be intruder. We are prepared to meet the thief who may or may not come but are we prepared to meet Jesus who is beyond a shadow of doubt is coming. At least four times in scripture it says that Jesus will return like a thief in the night. (Revelation 16:15, Matthew 24:43, 2 Peter 3:10, and 1 Thessalonians 5:2) A thief isn’t going to call and let you know what time and date to expect them to attempt to rob your home, so you always must be prepared for their arrival because the moment you let your guard down you become vulnerable. No one knows the time and date of the return of Jesus, yet we always must be ready. Do not be caught off guard by our returning Savior; make sure your heart is prepared to greet Jesus whenever His return may be.

The source of Wisdom (Parable of the 10 virgins Matthew 25:1-13) Sometimes the difference between wise and foolish is simply the person who is judging the actions taking place. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, the difference between the wise and foolish virgins was that some were ready for the bridegrooms return with preparation and anticipation and some were not. The foolishness was tied to their readiness, but this got me to think what truly divides the wise from the foolish in this world. When I mention the word wise do certain individuals come to your mind like Einstein, Hawkins, Gates, etc. Wisdom is often confused with intelligence (knowledge of certain things) but to find the true source of wisdom you have only one option, God. In the Holy Bible, God is clear as to what makes one wise and what makes one foolish in this world. His definition doesn’t line up with your college professors, the national media, or even popular culture but if you truly want to be wise, it is the only definition that matters. Proverbs 1:7 says that the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge and that fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Echoed in Psalm 111:10, Job 28:28 and Proverbs 9:10) Psalm 14:1 says, that only a fool would say that there is no God. James 3:17 says that wisdom from God is always pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. Proverbs 2:6 says that it is God who grants wisdom. Proverbs 16:16 says that true wisdom is something to be valued over wealth and treasure in this world. Proverbs 14:8 says wise people see themselves for who they really are, and foolish people deceive themselves. As you can see from scripture, there is no wisdom separate from God. God is the beginning and ending point for all wisdom in this world and to seek it anywhere else is foolish. The wise virgins of this story were only wise because of their faith that the bridegroom was returning, and they were prepared to meet him. Modern day wisdom is the same, we must believe that Jesus is returning and make sure that we are prepared to meet him. God is the source of true wisdom and acceptance of His Son Jesus is the cornerstone that holds it all together. (Ephesians 2:20)

Everyone is invited (The Marriage feast of the King’s Son Matthew 22:1-14) In this parable, a king invites guests to his son’s wedding only to have them reject the invitation but to ensure that the wedding is well attended he sent his servants out to invite others to wedding. Jesus is speaking this parable to the religious elite of his time and is letting him know what is going to happen soon because of their rejection of Him as the Messiah. Jesus was letting them know that God’s chosen people, the Jews, through their rebellion and unacceptance of Him was going to open the door for the gentiles to come into the kingdom of God. God’s plan was never to work only through the Jewish people, His plan was to start with these chosen vessels and have it spread throughout the entire world. In Genesis 22:18, God tells Abraham that all nations will be blessed because of his act of obedience. God’s intention from the beginning was to have fellowship with all His creation. In this parable we see something great about our God, everyone ends up getting an invitation to the wedding party. Some may have been invited first but ultimately the King extends the invitation so that everyone has to a chance to attend the party. 2 Peter 3:9 says that God’s will is for no one to perish but for all of us to come to repentance. He wants everyone to come and know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and loves all His creation equally (Romans 2:11). We are all invited to have a relationship with Jesus, but the question is do we accept it like the second bunch of invitees in our parable or do we reject it like the first group. We have already established that God wants all of us involved in His Kingdom but are you willing to do what it takes to be involved.
