One lady railed at me for the Scripture I posted on how we are to break fellowship with "Christians" who live in sin. She said I was harsh, hardhearted, judgemental...and in danger of judgement. Another said the word sinner is a toxic cultural Christian term. 😤 I think I handled it well through God's grace. But oh my gosh. I need to make a rule for myself: never go on social media right after special God time. I dunno, the contrast between God's presence and the complaining was just so sharp It is sad, but that is how the church at large is today. We are not supposed to stand against sin. We are not to encourage Bible reading. We are not to promote discipleship. We are supposed to preach lies like Bloodbought does where he says God demands nothing from us except faith. Believe in him and live like you please. Live conservative if you want, but keep it to yourself.
This would be so foreign to the early church, and people that preach those heresies are the ones that need to worry about the judgment. You were doing the right thing. Bad company corrupts good manners. If a brother or sister is a fornicator, we are told not even to eat with them. I guess according to these people, Paul was harsh, hardhearted, judgmental and in danger of the judgment.
exactly . and lets not forget the KING of kings . who even said it would be better to cut off any part that causes you to sin , than to be cast whole into hell fire . NOW LOOK how SERIOUS THOSE warnings were . ED and Xactly .

What did JESUS tell his own . if they receive not you , they receive not me , and if they receive not me , they receive NOT him who sent ME .
Most folks would kick JESUS outta places , calling him a hater , a legalizer a judiazer . They got no idea what they have lost and they have no idea they are lost . But lambs love truth . ITS as one of newer posts said , LAMBS HEED AND DO WHAT JESUS SAID TO DO , everyone else just heeds that THEY THINK IS RIGHT to do . Its all bad news . But , as I so love to say , lambs just rejoice in JESUS we got all HOPE .

have you ever received the baptism of The Holy Spirit? My husband and I used to attend this Apostolic Pentecostal church. The pastor preached a sermon about the centurion gentile who received the Holy Spirit. He said, I don't know who this message is for. You're already a good and pious person. You just lack one thing. I came to the altar for prayer and begin to focus on Jesus and how I wanted to be Holy and acceptable. I wanted whatever He wanted. Then when the members started speaking in tongues, I did too. However, I haven't been able to speak in tongues privately. But when I learned about obedience and repentance, I began to manifest the fruit of the Spirit and my life improved %1000. The result has been sin falling away, more witnessing, more productivity at home, being a better wife and just being able to accomplish more with less. So, maybe? i actually spoke in tongues before i had hands laid on me. i actually received interpretation before i had hands laid on me also. i would say ask God to give this to you if you have not received it. He will in time.

So I'm waiting for Good Will to open.
The Lord and I will have a successful shopping trip for household supplies.
God called me to not work a traditional job and be a good homemaker/entrepreneur like the Proverbs 31 Woman.
I was afraid of being bored but He has blessed me so far. I have a full plate of cool things to do.
I'll be making a year's worth of homemade detergent for about $30 or less.
I'll be trying to make chicken and dumplings for the first time.
I'll be going to the library to look for books on music and songwriting for a songwriting ministry.
I'll be making plans to completely take over the hair product business I started with my mother.
I learn a lot of practical tips from YouTube.

I like diy things. I made over two gallons of laundry detergent that will last over a year. The mix is very strong. I would guess about two years. ![]() it cost a bit less than $21. I got the recipe off YouTube.

I learn a lot of practical tips from YouTube. That is really good. When you manage money well, it has the same effect as bringing money into the home. Money saved is money earned. Learn not to be wasteful, and you have accomplished a great deal. Things like making a year's worth of detergent for less than $30, learning how to get the best bargains when you go grocery shopping, etc., will make the money coming in go much further. You have a hair product business? I hope that does well for you, as I hope your song writing is blessed.

I have never seen actual sheep in person.
I like learning about them and watching videos.
It is really sweet and calming.

I have never seen actual sheep in person. I like learning about them and watching videos. It is really sweet and calming. When I was a boy I used to work with them . I used to set one mans sheep out into the field and watch them graze . Sheep truly are in dire need of one to guide them . They will heed the voice of and the direction that whoever is working them , gives them . I kid you all not . You can lead one sheep and the rest will follow . They have a herd mentality . NO WONDER we are called sheep . and On that note , LET THE SHEEP HEEED THE VOICE of THE GREAT SHEPARD . I remember how easy it was to get them from the pens to the fields and from the fields back into the pen . Just simple guidance was all that was needed . NOW , HOW the TRUE SHEPARD does GUIDE and lead HIS OWN FLOCK TOO . and the sheep , HIS SHEEP , they heed HIM and they walk in the direction HE BIDS THEM . we truly are as sheep , and can do nothing without our shepard . And the SHEPARD watches over HIS FLOCK . OH YES HE DOES . Keeping them safe from all the deceptoins and snares of men as they feast in the fields of HIS GREEN GRASS , HIS WORDS . And I also seem to remember , that all I had to do was guide one sheep , and the rest would follow in the same direction . NO balking , no resistance , and all in one accord . YEP the peoples really are as sheep . and BY HIS SPIRIT they are of one mind , and that mind is TO OBEY THE KING .
