Food For Thought

I am always amazed that many misinturpret the word of God. This is due to a lack of knowledge and selfishness and an absolute failure to study and apply.  When one gives their life to Christ fully, things must change. You are no longer the person you were before you accepted Christ in your life as your Lord and Savior. You can not continue down the paths with the same actions as of your past before Christ.

Failure of growth keeping one stagnated and stuck.  Children learn from the parent or parents. Our children are a gift from God and when we abuse that gift, destruction and generational curses rise.  I can not for the life of me understand why an adult would physically abuse a child.  What satisfaction can one gain from torturing a defen
