These issues are things that I think about as well. I live in Canada, recently the marriage act in Canada was redifined and made into law, that the act now states: Marriage is between two persons. No longer is it a man and a woman. This new law is sad for our country and what that will do for the families of our country. Does that mean I move out of the country I was born in? No, I pray for our country and our leaders. God uses everything for good. Look below at 1 Timothy 2. This is what Jesus says, Matthew 22:17-21 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" 18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" 21 "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Romans 13 1-2 1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 1 Timothy 2 1-4 1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. I know in my life when I go to the video store I seek out movies that are true stories, like 'In my Country', or stories with a message - you have to look for them and read the back. The Lord gives us discernment through the helper, the Holy Spirit. I don't watch on TV reality shows that are filled with inappropriate content. I don't always do the right thing, but with Jesus' help and being in the word I can. We are not of the world, but we must live in it until Jesus comes again. For me I find just sharing my testimony with people in my life who don't know Jesus helps me to survive in this world. Being involved in my church community helps as well. Also helping those who are less fortunate, like a orphaned child in a third world country is another good way to share the hope of Jesus. Matthew 19:16-22 16 Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" 17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." 18 "Which ones?" the man inquired. Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,'and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'" 20 "All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. I hope this verses give you some comfort, Jesus is with you. God Bless - TK |

I have struggled with bipolar disorder for many years and after I became a christian, I looked to the bible for help at my low points. For me, I like to turn to Matthew 6: 25-26 (NIV)25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? This scripture helps me to know God's love for His children and that trusting in Him for everything. I know that worry can be for me a time when I don't trust God and His promises. My husband has been a great support and I know it is through the grace of God that I am here today. I pray that you and your wife will find the peace and healing you seek. God Bless |
