Attention disciples of Christ!

Okay, I know that I said the next post would be a follow up to "What does it mean to have a Christ centered marriage?" but this post has been weighing on my heart. So the next one will be about marriage roles!
So here it goes...

 As Christians in today's world it is very important that we are being BOLD and speaking the TRUTH into the hearts of believers and non believers alike. 

You can still be intentional while being gentle to those who need to hear the gospel. 

Those who claim to know the gospel but aren't fully understanding it or they're twisting it, we are called by God to correct them. 

As a Christian, you are a disciple of Christ! If you recall, ALL of His disciples in the Bible were persecuted for following Him. 

It isn't rude or wrong of you to correct the discrepancies that you find in the teachings or beliefs of those who claim to be Christ followers, it's the RIGHT thing to do. It's what Jesus would do! You just also have to be loving and kind as you go. 

Christians are widely known as people who "shove their beliefs down the throats of others." But let me be clear, that's not our job. 

Obviously there are going to be extremists in anything, Christianity isn't exempt from that. However, as Christ followers we are ALL called to speak truth. His truth. 

So if you've found Jesus and He's your personal Savior, then you have a job to do. Spread the good news! Tell all who can hear that Jesus saves!!! Don't shy away from sharing something so wonderful! 

I found something that I find to be true and I can guarantee ANYONE who opens the Bible and has an open mind and open heart to God, they will find it to be true as well. 

If you seek Him, He will be there.

Jeremiah 29:13 - You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Deuteronomy 4:29 - But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 

Psalm 9:10 - Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You. 

So no, me speaking His truth to all who can hear isn't me "shoving" it at you. It's me doing what I am called to do. I can still love you, as I love everyone, while still telling you you're wrong. I will not shy away. I will not back down. 

Speak the truth. The Lord's truth. Be bold. Be intentional. Be courageous. Be kind. Love as Christ loves. Live as Christ lives.

Marriage Roles - Specifically the Wife

Everyone has their part to play in many different scenarios. In this we are speaking about the roles we play in marriage as husband and wife. More specifically I am going to speak about the roles of the wife; and even more specifically I am going to obviously be speaking about the Godly roles of a wife. If you have been reading my blog posts thus far or even if you are visiting my site for the first time now, it is apparent that I am a Christian and that this blog speaks on issues from a biblical stand point.  So that's what you get when you read what I have to say, truth from the Bible and the Bible alone. So here it is, being a Godly wife. In order to know what it means to be a Godly wife, we must first understand what the word Godly means. We can get this from 1 Timothy 2:2 in which Paul uses the word in conjunction with peaceful, quiet, and dignified. To be Godly is to be Christlike, also meaning to strive to imitate Christ, who is perfect. Although we all know as sinners

Is everyone a "child of God?"

Before I dig into the explanation, let  answer the question. Is everyone a "child of God?" Simply put, the answer is no. Now lets go further into this!!! Did God create you? Yes! Colossians 1:16 - For by Him all things were created, in the heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities- all things were created through Him and for Him. Does God love you? Absolutely! John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. However, like I said, that doesn't make you a "child of God." Only those who receive Him as the Savior will become His children. Romans 9:8 - This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise that are counted as offspring. So what does all this mean? It means that because of "The Fall" of Adam and Eve (read Genesis 3), we are all b
