Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich!

1) Worldly rich: The love of money can motivate any evil on this earth. Rich sometimes get rich by oppressing the poor. There are many wicked rich people in this world who have hardened their hearts filled with arrogancy, selfishness, harshness, cold-heartedness throwing rich parties wasting their money on useless things, who are overfed and has no pity nor concerned about the poor but are hoarded with wealth, pride and refused to pay their workers, who do not even defend the rights of the poor nor share their wealth or food with poor and needy. But in scriptures we see that when Jesus and his disciples threw parties they invited the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. Luke 14:12-13 says but when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind.


There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men says Proverb 30:14.

We can remember the parable Jesus told about the beggar Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31). Jesus says only that the rich man had great wealth and that he enjoyed his wealth while Lazarus suffered miserably outside his gate. The rich man exploited Lazarus to acquire wealth. He simply neglected to share. So God punished him (Luke 16:19–31).

2)Godly rich: Godly rich is showing our generosity in the good works such as helping the poor , needy disabled, helping the humble widows , orphans, and foreigners sharing the testimony of God with unbelievers. No matter how justly we have acquired our wealth, God demands that we act generously towards the poor.

Proverbs 22:9 says A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.

Proverb 29:7: The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

3)God cares for poor: In the world today, we see only few people care about the poor. God curses on anyone who looks down on poor and needy. Proverb 28:27 says He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. When we give the poor, we are lending it to God. Prov. 19:17 says He who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, and He will repay him for his good deed.

4)Another kind of poor: Some people are poor because they make sinful choices because of lack of Self Control by being disobedient to the will of God by pursuing a life of pleasure and hypocrisy. Proverbs 28:19 reminds us that He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty and some people become poor because of unwise in their financial usage like buying things they don’t need, not saving for emergencies, buying a lot of things by making to many debts. People can bring poverty on themselves by refusing to follow wise counsel. Proverbs 13:18 says Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is honoured.Some of the choices they make are lying, stealing, willful ignorance of wise instruction, laziness, gluttony, gambling, lottery, drunkenness, negligence, waste, greediness, adultery and bad addictions. Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine, or with gluttonous eaters of meat. For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags” (Pr. 23:20-21). Drunkenness can lead to sexual immorality, anger, fighting and even murder. For such kind of poor people we should admonish them to walk in righteous godly path by helping them to quit their present life style by rebuking and encouraging them to walk rightly in the eyes of God not human standards.

God will still hold us accountable for our actions. “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy” (Pr. 28:13). Neither thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards shall inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:10). The apostle Paul commanded Christians ...not to associate with any so-called brother if he should be an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler not even to eat with such a one. (1 Cor. 5:11).

Conclusion: True happiness, peace and satisfaction are there in our lives when we follow and live in God‘s ways.

WEDDING RINGS

I still wear my wedding rings as a promise to my family that I will not give up on us being a family.




I still wear my wedding rings because I believe in my ex-husband. He is a good man and he loves his children so much that he would do anything for them that is within his power to do.



I still wear my wedding rings because I know that my ex-husband and I don't have any problems that are too great for God to heal.



I still wear my wedding rings because I made a vow that I intend to keep, "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."



I still wear my wedding rings because 26 years ago we had something that made us want to spend the rest of our lives together and I believe that something is still there underneath all the worldly things that Satan has thrown at us.



I still wear my wedding rings because I want our children to get married, with us sitting as a couple and no step-parents involved.



I still wear my wedding rings because I want to be an example to our children and grandchildren that marriage is a lifetime commitment.



I still wear my wedding rings because I want to have our grandchildren come to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see both of us!



I still wear my wedding rings because families belong together.



I still wear my wedding rings because I still love my husband and it is my promise to him that I will never give up on him, just like the father of the prodigal son never gave up on his son. He was watching for him on the day he returned and he ran to meet him and they had a great feast in his honor. He also put a ring on his finger and I still have a ring to place back on my prodigal's finger the day God brings him home to his family.



That's why I still wear my wedding rings.

Thank you Jesus, Thank You Father. Amen.

Do not commit theft, robbery, stealing or burglary!

The ten countries with the largest population in world are first being China, the second country in the world with most population is India, and United States is the 3rd populated country in the world and Indonesia is the fourth populated country in the world.


According to crime statistics by the world, United States is the first country in the world for highest crime next to United Kingdom. In America, the crime clock continues to click: one murder every 22 minutes, one rape every 5 minutes, one robbery every 49 seconds, and one burglary every 10 seconds. And the cost of crime continues to mount: $78 billion for the criminal justice system, $64 billion for private protection, $202 billion in loss of life and work, $120 billion in crimes against business, $60 billion in stolen goods and fraud, $40 billion from drug abuse, and $110 billion from drunk driving. When you add up all the costs, crime costs Americans a stunning $675 billion each year. Approximately one in every 18 men in the United States is behind bars or being monitored. The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world at 754 persons in prison or jail per 100,000 U.S. residents (as of 2008). In the United States, burglary, robbery, Aggravated Assault rates are highest .Among the largest American cities, Memphis, Tennessee had the highest number of burglaries at 2,183, followed by Detroit, Michigan at 2,064, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports.


Stealing is an abomination which says in (Jeremiah 7:9-10). The thieves wait to Commit, under shelter of the night.( Obadiah 1:5, Job 24:14)

God has commanded several times that we must not steal .The commandment “You shall not steal” is in Exodus 20:15. It is repeated in Leviticus 19:11 and Deuteronomy 5:19 and is also commanded  by Jesus in Matthew 19:18, Mark 10:19 and Luke 18:20. In Jeremiah 7:9 and Zechariah 5:3 we are told of God’s displeasure with those who do steal. In Romans 13:9 Paul points out that if we love our neighbour we will not steal. In Ephesians 4:28 he says that those who have been guilty of stealing should repent and change their ways. Gods word say in Isaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing.

God says that Thieves shall never inherit the kingdom of God. “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: ….nor thieves…. Will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Conclusion: God gives warning in Ephesians 4:28 as “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”

Pray together For America

Once upon America is noted for a wealthiest nation. Today Americans are deeply in debt, illegal employers are increasing, unemployment is increasing, the families are getting poorer and poorer and middleclass families are struggling too much in every area of their life, many have taken pay cuts after getting laid off in the private sectors ,many are losing their pensions which they worked for their entire lives. Lawsuits have increased, Insurance costs have increased, broken and dysfunctional families have increased, people are in debt to the private bankers, Millions of American citizens can't find a decent job to support their families, and many don't even have any health care.



Our society has become desensitized to sin. We have become arrogant, rebellious, and ungodly. Our Education system have turned into godless public schools, blaspheming the Lord with their evil practices, God-hating, family-hating, feminism, homosexuality, murdering, abortion, rampant sexual immoral practices, unwanted pregnancies, lesbianism, fornication, immodesty, witchcraft, nudity, bankrupting our hospitals, crime rate have increased, remarrying many more times have becoming so common .US has the world's highest divorce rate, highest criminality rates, world's largest consumer of cocaine, high marriage failure rate, families are falling apart even though we have a lots of tools like marriage counselors etc still people are so quick to seek divorce as a solution to personal unhappiness. Bible says in 1st Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is the root of ALL evil. We have destroyed our family values in the name of career and we had been chasing after the money, prosperty and our own fun and selfish desires .we are always busy in everything and we never have time for God and family .Americans today are in debt to the International Banksters for well over $100,000,000,000,000 when you take into consideration personal, local, state, federal, and mortgage debt owed by America.

Early American schools taught the moral values from the Bible, with school prayer, today's public school system prohibit teaching moral values from the Bible, or even allowing students to pray to a God that a majority of faiths in this country recognize. The result is America has become a land with much looser morals then four decades ago, which is having a negative affect on all sectors of our society.

Moral poisoning of our youth and the youth of the world through our Rock Music, Harry Potter, occult TV shows and movies, Teaching our youth secular humanistic values and gay values through Public Schools. Sex saturated media such as T.V., VCR's and video movies, occult role playing games, Rock music, Hip-hop music with all its horrific themes, Country music, with its themes glorifying sin. Many of us have a problem of celebrating Christmas day but we do not have a problem of celebrating occult and pagan practices such as Halloween etc.

In the name of tolerance every evil thing is highly exalted and proudly defended in our society. Lasciviousness. Smoking cigarettes, tobacco addiction, premarital sex, Vandalism, suicides, nudity bars, Gun and school shootings, pornography, Euthanasia ,alcoholism and drugs, fornication, adultery, feminism, lifestyle of uncleanliness, lust, and greed have become so common in our society with higher alarming rate.

God's word in Judges 21:25 says, "In those days every man did that which was right in his own eyes."

We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.

We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have made too many laws and rules and called as freedom of privacy.

We have ignored our God given responsibilities as parents and have put our responsibilities on others like daycare etc and have gone to make a career at the expense of our family.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. We are mocking God's Word, we are offending him more than ever, we are allowing women to kill their babies, we are allowing a minority to re-define marriage and family in order for them to please their selfish and abnormal desires, we are allowing people to take drugs legally, we are telling children that masturbation, pornography, prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexualism and other deviant practices are fine and even good and healthy.

 We are clearly living in the last days, as the Bible says:
"But understand this that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

We are deliberately disobeying God and violating his commandments. Our country is need of prayer. Everyone needs to get on their knees and pray everyday for our nation and for all the people. Judgment is coming and it might have already started, it is the time of true repentance from our wicked ways. Jesus may come at any hour or any day and we need to get right with God .We need to Pray to Jesus. Seek Him. Ask Him and walk in his ways without justifying our sinful wicked ways and bragging about our arrogant pride and being self righteous.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "

When Godly parenting fails, culture fails, family fails and nation fails!

Godly example: As parents, God holds us fully accountable to faithfully represent His authority and standards for more than just providing food, shelter, and protection. The best way to raise godly children is, by parents being godly and setting and living as a Godly example. There is always a success and rewards in parenting in Godly ways. Because of the grace of God, the Christian is quite capable of exercising self-control in overcoming the passions of the flesh. There is no sin habit which cannot be overcome. The thoughts and emotions are under the Christians control. One can block out certain thoughts and emotions, killing the passions of the flesh.

As parents, we need to teach our children to seek godly character, for themselves, and in those with whom they would associate. Along with loving God and being a godly example by committing ourselves to His commands, we need to “Repeat them again and again to our children. Talk about them when we are at home and when we are away on a journey, when we are lying down and when we are getting up again. Tie them to our hands as a reminder, and wear them on our forehead. Write them on the doorposts of our house and on our gates” (Deuteronomy 6:7-9). As a Parent we need to be the reflectors of God to our children by teaching our children’s the statues , the commandments and the laws of the God so that our children’s we see by our words and actions and by our examples. As Christian parents we need to always stand up for doing right in everything we do. Good parenting begins with our right relationship with God. If we aren't right with Him, we simply cannot be and are not the right kind of parents. As parents we shape our children's attitudes, actions, behaviour and associations. It’s a Parents responsibility whether his family members are clothed with humility, pure, righteous and holy.

Parents need to warn and explain to their children that Satan is the god of this sinful world (2nd Corinthians 4:4). Children need to be taught that the Devil is a liar, but appears deceitfully as an honest person (Matthew 7:15). The Devil is a fallen angel of darkness; but he deceitfully appears to people as an angel of light from Heaven (2nd Corinthians 11:13,14). There are so many Parents in the Bible such as Noah, Abraham, Job, Joseph, Jacob, Jephthah, Eunice, Hannah, Aaron etc.

The ungodly example: The ungodly Parents think according to worldly and they compromise according to the pleasures to the world and they do not avoids anything that would pollute their home and family like smoking, drinking, drugs, sexual immorality, ungodly people, bad television programs which is based on immorality, violence etc., being workaholic and neglecting their primary duties inside the family. Many professing Christians Parents are living spiritually defeated lives because of their addictions such as smoking, drugs and alcohol,pornography,gambling,bad televesions programs, Ungodly relationships, adulterous living etc. They knew it was wrong and because they could not overcome it they were affected spiritually. As a result they tried to justify their sin gradually develop a rebellious spirit. They destroy the testimony for Christ because they were controlled by their addiction and could not seem to overcome it and they can’t be a real soul winner for Christ. Our bodies, mind and heart are to be clean and free of any sinful habit wholly dedicated to our Lord. Holy Spirit controls our actions in our life if we walk by the Spirit of God and the Holy Bible will keep us away from sin. If we do not completely surrender to the Holy sprit, the evil spirit will have chance to corrupt our lifestyles. If Parents have any kind of bad addiction chances are more that their children’s will have same sort of addictions.Childrens watch and learn behavior from their parents. They repeat what their parents say and do. Many parents smoke or drink alcohol in front of their children which results directly or indirectly a bad witness for Christ and bad example for their childrens as well as around other believers. Some parents mistakenly believe that it is not harmful to smoke if they do it with a window open or after their children are asleep. A child's exposure to passive smoke is about three times higher than a peer in a non-smoking family if the father smokes but is raised by more than six times if the mother does and by almost nine-fold if both parents light up. Some Parents even say that there is nothing wrong and they all grew up in such environment and they say that the children need to get immunity for smoking or any filthy addiction.



For them this is what the scriptures say:

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart

Psalms 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

Acts 28:26-27 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Second hand smoke from cigarettes harms not just the smoker, but family, friends and co-workers. The Bible says we are to love our neighbor. Jesus said that loving one's neighbor was next to loving one's parents "Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" (Matthew 19:19 ). Romans 13:10 teaches us that "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour." It is certainly not an act of love to smoke around other people exposing them to the deadly effects of cigarette smoke.Childrens do not need to get immunity for bad things but for Good things. Our society and families have become desensitized to sin .If we live a bad example before our children and If we do not train our children in godly ways, we lack confidence in our ability to shape our children & give up on our responsibilities to morally cultivate our children. We abandon them to others for spiritual instruction. We pridefully busy ourselves in other activities and jobs. We spoil our children for control. We do not consistently discipline our children. This is the false way of Christian parenting.

No wonder our children are confused about right and wrong when parents degrade the sanctity of marriage by living together out of wedlock. Children are their parents mirror.

There are parents who teach their children to shoplift and put them up to stealing from others. There are parents that purchase alcohol for their underage teens and let them drink at home with their friends because they feel it is safer for them than to be out doing it elsewhere. There are parents who have addiction with alcohol or drugs or tobacco etc actually engage in drinking or using such things with their teens. There are parents who take their children along to adult parties where others are drinking and using drugs. They feel that as long as their children are with them they are good parents. Wrong! There are some parents who teach and encourage their children to lie. A good example of this is parents who try to use their children as a source of income such as those who try to get disability benefits by having their children fake emotional or behavior disorders.

To prosper in parenting duties, a parent, must recognize their sinful behavior right away, then confess it, and most importantly forsake it. We'll easily overcome the traps of bad parenting with the help of God's wisdom when we forget our ways and cling to Gods ways, by obeying God and living Godly lives in every area of our life & to be a good influence around our families, childrens.When our Parenting is on Gods word Our Families will prosper , our society and their by our nation prospers!

http://www.christian-parents.net/family/F101_Successful_Parenting.htm

Failure of Father’s role and responsibility is the failure of God ordained Family and the society!

God created man to be the leader of the home, the provider and the protector. The children are to look to their father especially for spiritual counsel and guidance. They receive this by watching their father's life as much as they do by talking to him. Many children will follow in the footsteps of their fathers when it comes to a belief in God or not. God put the father in the position as leader in the home, but the father is also a picture of God Himself. A father acknowledges his responsibility and commitment to his family. He provides good things to his family, just like our Heavenly Father and serves his family in the same way that Jesus came to serve us.

God has created women with a need to be loved by a man that only God totally understands, and it is very important that she gets that attention in the proper way from her father instead of from some other person who will probably take advantage of her. She needs to be touched, hugged, petted and cared for in a godly way by her father

Fathers supply many needs for their children, and their presence as well as their support is needed in the home. Not only is it important for a father to be in the home but also to be an active part in his children's life. A father is one who functions in a fatherly capacity. He is instrumental in the growth of his children’s life, to help them grow spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Father must be willing to sacrifice his life for his wife and children. Yet physical guarding is only a part of a godly father's protecting duties. He must also protect his family from evil spiritual forces, such as the devil and false teachers, who will tempt his family to believe falsehoods or become discouraged. The greatest tragedy of our society to the failure of fathers to take their responsibility parents.

How it has affected our families and society:

1. The failure of fathers to take their responsibility parents has caused directly or indirectly single parent families the most numerous with a mother and her children.

2. Children who grow up without a father grow up in an unstable home. With the mother working to provide for herself and here children she has little time to teach or raise the children.

3. Absence of father’s role as a spiritual head has damaged the families to live a godly life, to teach their children’s to pray and lead them to church and Christ.

4. Today it is a single parent family, or same sex parents, or children raised by their grand parents while mom and dad go their separate selfish ways.

5. The roots of epidemic divorce and homosexuality in our society can be traced to this failure of mothers and fathers.

6. God has given the responsibility to the parents and more specifically to the father. God’s plan is that the Father be the visible provider, protector, example, and teacher to his children. Absence of Fathers role has made Mothers to take up these responsibilities.

7. Many Fathers today spend or more time "supporting" their basketball, footfall golf or some other sport, watching TV, being workaholic, and spending more time outside the family than raising their children for God has negatively affected the family and children’s in manys. Most of them do not have time for families at all.

8. And many Fathers are busy in pursuing money, work, houses cars and material things, are failing to fulfill their spiritual responsibility.

9. Too many men are abdicating or ignoring their responsibilities as Fathers. In some families today, the children are left to raise themselves.

10. children who live absent of their biological fathers are more likely to be poor, to use drugs, to experience educational, health, emotional and behavioral problems, to be victims of child abuse, and to engage in criminal behavior than their peers who live with their married, biological (or adoptive) parents. failure of fathers to take the responsibility for the spiritual leadership of the family according to the guidelines of the Word--giving, loving, serving, caring and strong leadership has contributed moral decline , Illegitimate births, Divorces, educational failure, illegitimacy, Teenage suicide and violent crimes. 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home.

11."It is fatherhood which makes childhood possible. It is father absence which creates ghettos and gangs and messed-up kids — boys trying to find their identity through violence, girls trying to find their identity through sexual promiscuity, which will lead to the violence of the next generation. They need real fathers, "sociological fathers," not mere studs interested in sharing a one-night stand with Mom."

12. Our perverted sick world view of real man is they praise the selfish, immoral father who has sold his soul to living the "gusto life," who shirks is responsibility to his wife and children. They then ridicule and make fun of the father who shoulders his responsibility, boldly proclaims his love and devotion to God and to his wife and children

13. The Good ideal Father Takes Responsibility and Leads His Family in the ways of God. Father, who follows God, makes every effort to be at home, to lead, guide, teach and counsel his children. Father who is both the wage earner and the spiritual leader in his family.

Conclusion: Our families need men like Joshua, who will dedicate themselves to the Lord, and be a godly influence in there families and nation. The only way to become a godly father is to become a godly man in everything, and the only way to become a godly man is to humbly submit to God and live according to Gods way instead of worlds way, where there is pride, egoness etc. parents are the key agents in communicating the Word of God to their children so that God’s truth and the moral integrity and character that goes with it is communicated generation to generation. If the fathers are not truly godly, the chances are neither will the children be. Children are born with sinful natures and unless they have the godly influence of parents who are themselves faithful, obedient, and walking with the Lord, their children will go the natural way of their sinful natures.

Moral decline in America!

Most Americans like to believe that the United States is "the good guy" and that America is a good and moral nation America is one of the richest countries in the world. But is that the truth? Or is America plagued by an evil and wickedness that is so deep and so pervasive that most of us would rather live in denial rather than face the true horror?


a) We are living in a selfish generation of people: who have become absolutely saturated with sinful pride, pleasure-seeking, and worldliness. A promise means very little to most people today, and is often carelessly broken. America has become a land of liars, and the biggest liars are those who dishonor their marriage vows by filing for divorce. But even criminals have their own twisted code of honor. Divorce is a horrible sin, like homosexuality, or murder. Tragically, women file for divorce at twice the rate of men in the U.S., solid evidence of the evils of feminist brainwashing. Americans have become extremely self-righteous, condemning others for "moral rights abuses" (such as China, India and other countries), while whitewashing their own skeleton closets. Should it be surprising in a nation that can cold-heartedly kill tens-of-millions of babies by abortion, would also quit their marriages and selfishly move on to greener pastures? Not at all. We are a selfish society.

The following is a list of 16 reasons why the United States of America is unspeakably evil... The United States is the world's biggest producer of pornography, and Americans are more addicted to it than ever before. Since 1973, well over 40 MILLION innocent babies have been chopped up and slaughtered in American abortion mills. Scientists are now creating abominations of nature including fluorescent cats, spider goats and human/pig hybrids: Maine has become the 5th state to legalize gay marriage. Several other states are also now considering making it legal.

Recent polls have revealed a rising trend of support for gay marriage in America. Now almost half of all Americans are in favor of gay marriage, and among young adults recent polls indicate that there is overwhelming support for gay marriage.

It now seems that those who speak out for morality are those that will be persecuted in America: California public schools have been told they must become "gay friendly". That includes a curriculum that teaches children that homosexuality is a valid lifestyle.-Even speaking out against homosexuality can get you fired. America is supposedly "one nation under God", but the truth is that the United States has done everything that they can to push God out of the classrooms. This is especially true in the science classrooms of America, where Darwinism is taught as absolute truth without any room for debate no matter what science might actually say.

The truth is that the science tells a whole different story than what our children are learning in the classroom, but the government of the United States has made it certain that they will never hear the truth in any public school. Once upon a time, the United States was the biggest creditor in the world. But those days are long gone. Now America is the biggest debtor nation to ever exist on the earth.

America was once the richest nation in the world, but that was not nearly enough. Americans always had to have a bigger car, a bigger house and an endless supply of "stuff". So the government piled up debt, America's companies gorged on debt, and Americans made using credit cards into a national pastime. Prices are increasing dramatically while wages are remaining flat or even decreasing. Jobs are being outsourced and factories/companies are being closed at a staggering pace. Our largest banks and financial institutions are teetering on the brink of failure. Homes are being foreclosed at record rates. Personal bankruptcies recently hit an all-time high. And so what is the answer the politicians give us? Wasting even more money and getting us into even more debt.

b).God hates self righeousness, Pride and arrogance: It is not surprising that God hates pride and arrogancy, for they are the root cause of many other evils. From children to the elderly, "America has become a nation of self-righteous slanderers. The Bible says to be humble. Yes, we are supposed to expose those who publicly parade wickedness and attempt to publicly justify sinful agendas; but that is very different from condemning and slandering people for their personal faults and sins. Those who are sinfully proud and arrogant enjoy gossiping, slandering and destroying other people; but God tells us as Christians, who love the Lord Jesus, not to slander people. If we have nothing good to say, it's best to say nothing. In our society we hate truth, if someone rebukes or corrects us when we do wrong. we want to believe false lies.

Proverb 6:16-19 tells us that God HATES several things: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that are quick to run to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that causeth discord amongst brethren. Notice that God hates those “things”; not the people, but the sinful things they do. We see all of these evil things happening today in America. Americans are some of the most arrogant people in the world, thinking that they're better than other nations, doing as we please. Freedom gives people the right to be wrong, not do wrong. "

2nd Chronicles 7:14-15, “If My people, which are called by My name, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now Mine eyes shall be open, and Mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.”

What a wonderful promise from God. If we'll just humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from our wicked ways, then God will forgive and heal our nation.

c).Our Economy: The truth is that the United States is headed for a financial collapse of unprecedented magnitude..... Child abuse, especially child sexual abuse, has become a national epidemic in America:

*It is estimated that there are over 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America today.

*Approximately 95% of all teenage prostitutes have been sexually abused.

*Of all American prisoners convicted of rape or sexual assault, two-thirds victimized children.

*Reported cases of child sexual abuse increased 322 percent from 1980 to 1990.

The truth is that tourists from the United States and Europe are a big part of the reason why human trafficking and child sex slavery is exploding around the world.....

*The percentage of the population that is divorced: 10% (up from 8% in 1990, and 6% in 1980).

*Only 63% of American children grow up with both biological parents - the lowest figure in the Western world.

*The percentage of married people who reach their 50th anniversaries in America: 5%

If we are so "advanced", then why can't we stay married?

d).Our greed: The greed of the United States of America is absolutely stunning:

*1 billion people in the world go to bed without food every night.

*Every 3.6 seconds someone starves to death and 3/4 are children under the age of 5.

*More than 2.8 billion people, close to half the world's population, live on less than the equivalent of $2 a day.

*More than 1.2 billion people, or about 20 per cent of the world population, live on less than the equivalent of $1 a day.

*More than 1 billion people do not have access to safe water.

*About one-third of all children under the age of five suffer from malnutrition.

*The top fifth (20 per cent) of the world's people who live in the highest income countries have access to 86 percent of world gross domestic product. The bottom fifth, in the poorest countries, has about one percent.

*The assets of the world's three richest men exceed the combined gross domestic products of the world's 48 poorest countries.The truth is that the greed of the "advanced" nations is leading us to a food crisis of horrific proportions....http://disasterandemergencysurvival.com/archives/food-crisis

e. Adultery and fornication: Adultery and fornication are throughout of America, and that has resulted in an explosion of STDs:

1 out of every four teen girls now has an STD and more than 25 percent of the residents of New York City now have herpes..... Murder is so common in the United States that it is a joke to the rest of the world:

The murder rate in the United States is among the highest of all developed countries, with rates in larger cities sometimes over 40 per 100,000 residents.


f.False Religion:False religions are exploding in America at a rate that is mind blowing. False religion is spreading across America like a plague. One big example of this is Oprah Winfrey's obsession with religion.

Imagine a religion where Jesus did not come to die on the cross, where there is no heaven, no hell, no sin, no salvation, no doctrine, where all spiritual paths in the world are equally valid and where "god" is in you and in everything else you see. The United States of America is leading the destruction of the environment of the world:

Most people do not realize that our reckless polluting has turned the Pacific Ocean into "the Great Pacific Garbage Patch" which is a "plastic soup" of trash, plastic, garbage and human waste an area about twice the size of the continental United States that stretches from Hawaii to Japan..... Meanwhile, more Americans than ever before have rejected Christianity, and even those who still practice Christianity don't even understand the basics of the Christian faith anymore:

A series of stunning new surveys has revealed that Americans are rapidly leaving the churches of America and are rejecting Christianity. These same surveys also show that even those who still call themselves "Christian" are rejecting traditional Christian beliefs.

g.There are a lot of differences between American and Indian culture and values: "Americans are independent and relaxed, while Indians tend to be extremely family-oriented and hard working. Americans enjoy mobility and change, while Indians seek stability. Even though each culture has both negative and positive aspects, both would benefit greatly from learning about one another. Americans like privacy and are very independent. They believe the individual is paramount. Americans do not like to work in groups, but Indian people are collectivist people. They always enjoy working as members of a group. Americans tend to think about

themselves and place their needs above all else. American teenagers, for example, do not always consider consequences before they act. They just care about having fun. Indian teens have to think of many things before they make any decision. They must consider the effect their action will have on their family, and how society will react. Family reputation is very important to them, and they must be careful not to do anything to put down the family name. Family values are much more important for them. Family comes first and individuals own identity is second. Americans take pride in their own accomplishment, not in name. They believe that a person should be self-reliant and not be dependent on others. On the other hand, Indians are very dependent on others.

Children are not brought to be independent. They are taught form very young age that there are others who will help them and they have to help others. They help their young ones. Elders generally make decisions. Very few can make decisions on their own. Their elders always support young ones. Competition is a good value. The spirit of competition is more in Indians people as compared to Americans. In school, for instance, Indian children are encouraged to excel. The expectations of families towards their children are very high. Parents always motivate their children to compete with others and live up to their full potential. From the
beginning, American children are taught to be direct, open and honest. They are raised to look others straight in the eye and "tell it like it is." They do not hesitate to express their opinions. Indian children however, are taught respect above all else. Unlike American culture, starting straight into the eyes of elders is considered disrespectful. A child is expected to be soft-spoken, respectful and obedient at all times. Many of the differences between eastern and western cultures stem from the fact that eastern cultures and values are based around their religions. Religion and family has a tremendous effect on the values and daily lives of Indians. Americans, being more individualistic, respect their religion but live life according to their own will."


Note:"For more than five decades we have drifted away from the principals God set forth when he created this great country. We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we could replace God’s laws with the laws of man. This has created a society where anything goes, where there is no right or wrong. My hope is that we can band together to change our country. I truly believe we can do this by getting on our knees and praying to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

http://themoralcollapseofamerica.blogspot.com/2008/08/15-things-that-are-wrong-with-america.html

They took prayer & Bible from public schools and now they have shootings!

America was founded upon the Bible and now has forgotten the God of the Bible. Early American schools taught the moral values from the Bible, with school prayer, today's public school system prohibit teaching moral values from the Bible, or even allowing students to pray to a God that a majority of faiths in this country recognize. The result is America has become a land with much looser morals then four decades ago, which is having a negative affect on all sectors of our society.


The U.S. is at the top of the world’s divorce charts on marital breakups.” The United States Supreme court made a terrible decision when they ruled to have prayer removed from schools in 1962. Statistics show that rebellion and violence have dramatically increased since that time. When prayer and Bible was removed from the schools cases of sexual transmitted diseases increased, Divorce rate in increased, (Now U.S. is at the top one of the world’s divorce charts on marital breakups.) unwanted pregnancies,immodesty,abortions, premarital sex,single parents, Vandalism, suicides, Adultery, prisons are full with criminals, arrogant and rebellious childrens, unmarried couples living together, violent crimes , drugs, alcohol, Gun and school shootings, sexual predators, sexual abuse ,pornography, nudity bars, sexual perversions, immorality, Unrighteous ways, Unrighteous philosophies, Unrighteous desires, decline of education, economy and society has been increased. Since God is gone from Schools Higher Education is lowered.. Sin has fascinated them. As a result now America is a lawless, sin filled nation, full of abominations such as Homosexual acts, Hands that shed innocent blood, Wickedness, Violence, etc

Bible is the foundation of our life, if that foundation is not there in the life there is a decline in righteous living and increase in sin living. Paul indicated in his letter to Timothy that "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

When you remove God you invite everything that is wicked to come in and destroy. Because some people are destroyed from lack of knowledge and there is a continuous attempt to take God out of everything we do. Here is what the bible says for them.

Hosea 4:5 you stumble day and night and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother-- my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

Amos 2:4 this is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because they have rejected the law of the LORD and have not kept his decrees, because they have been led astray by false gods, the gods their ancestors followed, I will send fire upon Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem."
“In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:6).

Even some of the kids who go to public schools are very arrogant, rebellious, and ungodly. Home is the first school, even in their home there is no Godliness, no prayer, no respect, and most of the kids come from dysfunctional families, broken families where there are crimes, violence, broken relationships, drug abuse etc.Even in their homes they don’t fear God and parents have forgotten to discipline their children according to Gods word and they live according to world’s word which has caused all the chaos and moral decline in our society. God's word provides the best way to raise children and God expects parents to raise their children to serve Him. Before that Parents must be good examples for their children in everything, because children are natural imitators, we must put God's Word first pray in faith, obey God, and walk in love, God will work in our children's lives and change them.

There are lots of people who do not believe in God, who never repented of their sin in our society. The Bible is a closed book to them and they cannot understand it. A lost person without God's Spirit cannot understand the Bible. Lost people tend to seek out and find a false god to worship that will not condemn their lifestyle. If their lifestyle includes porn, sexual immorality, drinking, rock music, or the occult practices such as Halloween etc a lost person will seek out a false god that will approve of such things. When you rebuke their evil life styles they say Judge Not in order to justify their sin and rebellious ways. Public schools and even some private and Christian schools can be spiritual battlegrounds for our children. They may be inundated with anti-Christian doctrine, relative morality, and secular humanistic theories. Children tend to adopt the values of those with whom they spend the most time. In schools, they are exposed to the value systems of non-Christian students, teachers, and faculty. They may be told that homosexuality is simply an "alternative lifestyle," that abortion is acceptable, and sex before marriage is normal and healthy. Killing is not limited to our schools. Street gangs are fighting it out and senseless murders are taking place in our major cities every day in our society.The family structure in our nation has been breaking down over the last few generations with so much divorce leaving children without the proper supervision and home environment to keep them safe.

Blindness is God’s judgment on a rebellious and disobedient people this is how Jesus quoted the verse in John: “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them” (John 12:40). God blinded Israel because they had continually rejected God’s word until the Lord gave up trying to reveal Himself to them and caused them to be blinded. That is exactly why some people, even Christians, just don’t get the message no matter how much you explain it, or try to convince them that they need to change. They have been blinded and are under God’s judgment.

This website gives info on the things happening in our schools. http://www.101reasons.org/
Our society has such an obsession with guns .School shootings have been making the remarkable headlines in the U.S.A. at an increased frequency. Also you can see here the list of school shootings in United States.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting.

A Department of Education Survey which analyzed violence in U.S. schools reported that public schools nationwide experienced more than 11,000 fights in which weapons were used, 4,000 rapes and other sexual assaults and 7,000 robberies. Other reports from Time and Newsweek magazines tell us the suicide rate among U.S. teens has risen 120% in the last 15 years while drug use has risen almost 80% since 1992. The youth of any nation are simply reflection of the parents of that nation. When sin is not dealt with in any society, the result of those sins will always produce violence. The generation living in the days of Noah was similar to our day.

Israel was instructed to teach their children the statutes of the Lord and the essence of that teaching is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-7: “Hear O Israel: The LORD our God is One LORD.” This is known as the Shema, which is the first word of verse four. Instructions to teach children are also found in Deuteronomy 4:10 and Deuteronomy 11:19. The teaching of God’s truth to children was the job of the parents and was done in the home. Sadly, this practice is no longer a priority in the homes of many believers, and many leave the instruction in God’s Word to the church or a school or daycares or teachers. The society, school and home need to work together to educate our children in the faith and their by raising Godly children a godly Nation. A Nation that refuses to teach its children right from wrong, good from evil will become a corrupt nation, where sin prevails, evil abounds, and children do as they please according to their own free will. When we remove God's standards, then man is free to substitute his own standards of morality. God's word in Judges 21:25 says, "In those days every man did that which was right in his own eyes."

We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.

We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. We are mocking God's Word, we are offending him more than ever, we are allowing women to kill their babies, we are allowing a minority to re-define marriage and family in order for them to please their selfish and abnormal desires, we are allowing people to take drugs legally, we are telling children that masturbation, pornography, prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexualism and other deviant practices are fine and even good and healthy. We are clearly living in the last days, as the Bible says:

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

We MUST defend Godliness, marriage and family. We MUST defend religious freedom. We MUST combat drugs. We MUST speak out without fear. And we must do it NOW. Today is the day that we can change things. The foolish, ungodly people are going to fight back and persecute us. Yet we should not be afraid of them, for the Holy Bible says: "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1. ""Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10

This is what God wants us to do. He commands us: "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret; but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light." Ephesians 5:11-13
Expose the evil actions. Be a "good soldier of Christ Jesus" 2 Timothy 2:3.

GOD BLESS you ALL & STAND ON THE TRUTH FOREVER!

Prayer for Homeless, Poor, Unemployed, Sick, Animals, Old people and Job Market!

Prayer brings life to our relationship with God.Gods word says that "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".Jeremiah 29:11

I pray and plead the Blood of Jesus Christ for all the homeless people, for all broken families, for all unemployed, for all the women and children who are alone without any help, for all the animals who are homeless and sick, for all the sick people who are suffering, for all the old people, for all the people who are affected by wars, natural disasters, for all the broken marriages,the victims of various circumstances, for all the poor people, for all the Job operating Companies/Industries for which their business have hurt due to bad economy.

May the blood of Jesus Christ cleanse my sins as well as their sins so that they might be healed and their prayers will be answered without any hindrances. May the precious Blood of Jesus Christ protect them from all evils and guide them and give them strength, hope, comfort, healing, peace, prosperity and Good health. I call forth, in the Name of Jesus, all of God's plans and purposes for their lives and their families. Lord Jesus Christ I pray that you will have mercy on them and deliver each one of them in their times of trouble. I surrender all the above people to you, knowing that they will be very safe in your hands.

Lord Jesus, I ask you to bless me and every person I have prayed for today and everyday and send Your mighty angels to protect all of us in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

Prayer for America!

Through Prayer, God has appointed for our receiving mercy, and obtaining grace to help in time of need.


"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16


I plead the Blood of Jesus on our President and our Government and Military leaders and for them to make wise and Godly decisions. I pray that our society may become one in goodness and truth and acknowledge you and walk in your ways. Lord, I cover myself and everyone in my country with the blood of Jesus Christ. I cover my country with the Blood of Jesus Christ and may the economy of our country be restored. Help us to repent for our sins with Godly sorrow and may all the people of this country turn back to our saviour Lord Jesus Christ so that our sins are forgiven. Comfort and Bless all the people who have no jobs and who are undergoing trials . I now Plead the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ as a Bloodline around my entire country and protect our people from all sickness, diseases, any natural accidents, disasters, calamities, terrors, wicked ways, every power of darkness, the spirits of rebellion, from all moral corruptions and from all unrighteousness, from all kind of evils and immorality. Lord Jesus please keep peace, Joy, harmony ,happiness and Godliness in my country and May the people who are dwelling in this land may be safe by following your commandments, by Seeking first the Kingdom of God & His righteousness.



I believe that the Lord will cover my country and its people with his feathers and that under his wings my country will find refuge in the name of Jesus and I believe that the Precious Blood of Jesus will always protect my country and all its people I believe Lord will do greater things in my country according to his will through his blessings.Amen

TVs and Cartoons are destroying Christian families!

We Christians are in a spiritual battle. TV and cartoon have become Gods in America


We'll either walk after the Spirit of God or we'll walk after our corrupted flesh. We sit for hundreds of hours a year in front of our TV idol, but don't spend anytime praising or thanking God Who sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for us.The three primary divisions of sin, according to 1 John 2:16, are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Clearly the Bible says we should think about: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things” (Philippians 4:8).cartoons is not true, it is not noble, it is not right, it is not pure, it is not lovely, it is not admirable neither excellent nor praiseworthy. addictive (1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19), destructive (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19), and leads to ever-increasing wickedness (Romans 6:19).

The Children who watch too much cartoons on television are more likely to have mental and emotional problems, along with brain and eye injuries and unexpectedly the risk of a physical problem increases.

Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. TV shows promoting adultery, fornication, euthanasia, witchcraft, New Age, spiritualism, homosexuality, sex changes, feminism, abortion, gambling, prostitution, violence, intolerance towards Christians, lasciviousness, and pride. God will NOT continue to bless us if we keep committing wickedness and continue to live in sin. Matthew 6:33 teach us to seek "first" the kingdom of God and His righteousness? When they focus on TV and cartoon shows they have hardly have any time in worshipping or spending time with prayer and thanks giving.

In I Thessalonians 5:22. If it's evil, then we have no business looking at it. David said, "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes. . ." David knew from personal experience that looking at the wrong thing could be very harmful. Before he ever committed his sin with Bathsheba, he first allowed his eyes to LOOK upon her nude body (II Sam. 11:2). In Joshua 7:21, Achan sinned after he SAW the "Babylonish garment." In Eden, Eve sinned after she feasted her eyes upon the forbidden fruit (Gen. 3:6). Many of the most popular shows today focus on the worst that mankind has to offer, and evil is glorified as good (2 Timothy 3:1-5; Isaiah 5:20). Television becomes so important to you that it edges out your spiritual priorities and gives importance’s to worldly matters.

There are some wicked Christians or believers who live with the devil six days a week, and then go to church on Sunday to play religion game. They guzzle their beer, tell dirty jokes, gaze with unholy looks at the opposite sex, curse in God's name, watch godless TV shows, mistreat their spouse, gossip, hurt others...and then dress their best to deceive the crowd every Sunday. God hates such people.

Some TV hosts uses their show to promote spiritualism, abortion, New Age, homosexuality, sex changes, and a host of other evils. With Satanic shows like Sabrina, Witches, and Charmed...it's no surprise that Wicca Witchcraft is flourishing around the world and children can't get enough thanks to the godless Harry Potter. The TV has been used as a tool by the devil to create a nation of ungodliness. Most people have become indifferent (Matthew 24:12). The television has been an instrument of EVIL since its inception because of the wickedness of the men and women who control it.

Our society has forgotten the powerful verse "Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things." -Philippians 3:19

What you are doing by watching TV's filth...having pleasure in watching other people commit adultery, murder, fornication, homosexuality, and every other form of wickedness imaginable. "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." -Romans 1:28-32.

The TV and cartoon shows is being used to destroy American families spiritually. Wicked entertainers are helping to further promote America's declining morality through their sensual and lascivious performances. No wonder sexual crimes are running rampant in America. We need to remember and put into practice Romans 12:1: I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. We were created to glorify God. We can live our lives to God’s glory. Godliness is being godly in our behavior. Our Godliness shows how we talk, how we dress, the way we give, the way we think and feel. Worldliness weakens and destroys our love and respect for God and sets us in opposition to His will. One becomes worldly when he loves the things the world does. We tend to become like those with whom we associate. "Do not be deceived, evil company corrupts good morals" (1 Corinthians 15:33). We are not to participate in the sinful deeds of the world but, "Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord" (2 Corinthians 6:17).



We must carefully choose those with whom we associate. "I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts" (Psalms 119:63). We are to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them" (Ephesians 5:11). It is not sufficient just to abstain from the evil practices but we must also speak up against them. Worldliness begins with wanting to fit in and to get along with the world. We cannot be both worldly and godly; they do not mix. "Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" (James 4:4). We are to "Abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul" (1 Peter 2:11). "For if you live according to the flesh you will die" (Romans 8:13). This is a spiritual death, which is being separated from God in the eternal fires of Hell. Partaking of sinful acts against God is a sin no matter how large, or small. We must first acknowledge our God-given roles. Being a good parent is all about raising children who will follow your example in obeying and worshipping the Lord and their by we make a difference in the world becoming a Godly family and eventually a good citizens.
