My thoughts and my life

A reminder for today In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives. (1 Peter 3:1-2) There are very few that can truly understand the power of a woman. Their inner strength and commitment is unrivalled. What makes a woman so strong? I can say from experience that I have never met a man that is not intrigued by woman. Woman seem to be the weaker sex, yet they have an incredible tolerance for pain and suffering. Woman seem to have a natural ability towards faith that we men miss. A woman can control a man without even trying too hard. Now this amazing gift can be used for good and bad. Many men are tempted into darkness by a beautiful smile and many fall for the lies of the enemy in this sense. What makes a woman a super woman? I believe it is her faith and her passion for the pe...

A reminder for today For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. (1 Peter 2:21) It is Tuesday and the week is well on its way. What is doing good? Peter writes that God called us to do good even it means suffering. To do good has many ways of looking at it if we would consider the word alone. We love to say, “You did good” or “That was good work”. It is a way of praise for something we did right or rather we did well. But what does Peter mean in this context here? What is the good work that God called us to do?  The Biblical definition of "good works" is not merely "good deeds". Biblical "good works" encompass every aspect of our thinking and conduct before God. The Christian's good works are rooted in Christ, and have cosmic purposes that God ordained before the world began. So, good deeds must lead to bearing fruit. In this sense, what we do must touch the lives of other in way that ...

A reminder for today For God is pleased with you when you do what you know is right and patiently endure unfair treatment. (1 Peter 2:19) How was your weekend, my friend? I do hope you rested a little and that you are ready for the week ahead. I started to feel sick last week and this weekend the flu got the better of me. I must admit I do not feel ready for this week. I would have preferred one more day of rest, but I guess that is just a nice thought. The enemy will try anything to break us and I am terrible when I am sick, but the Lord holds me safely in His hands and this discomfort will also pass. Peter writes about respect and that we must respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters.   He reminds us that we must respect earthly authority, but fear God. Peter continues to write to the salves and says here that God is pleased when we do what is right and patiently endure unfair treatment. I stopped here for a moment and my thoughts ran over my...
