Matthew 19:8
He said to them, “Moses, confronting the callousness of your heart, let you divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.”
I don't like sermons about the condemning of divorce. It does not have a place in my life. Sometimes it happens to people who did not cause it. I have found it to be a case to case situation. You cannot put it in a box and apply it to everyone. That is just dumb.
John 4:18
For you have had five husbands, and this man that is with you now is not your husband; this you have spoken truly.”
I also don't like hearing about people who say finding Jesus cured them of cigarette smoking, drinking and the like. It is helpful to be open and share exactly how it was stopped. It wasn't instant, so be a Christian and reveal the steps you took.
I did not stop drinking until two and one half years ago. I did it because I got tired of being sick. I prayed and said that is the end of it. Every time the thought of a drink comes to my mind I think of the way my head and gut feel the next day...so I stay off the stuff.
John 4:14
whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
I am drinking mineral water with a slice of lime these days. I like it and it gives me a sense of pleasure. Delicious too.
Happy Thanksgiving to y'all. Never doubt what is possible. All things are possible but it's not all top shelf, sometimes it comes small. Take it because it's better than no blessing at all.
Blessings come small and big, but they are custom fitted to our lives according to how God sees what we need.
Indeed and Amen
