God Fearing Men Should Be Against Domestic Violence

Monday, July 19th, 2010

When a man fears God he should stand up for what is right.

It  isn’t just something he says he will do with his mouth.  Standing up against domestic violence means doing something to change your own ways in your own home. 

Don’t scream at your wife and children.

Don’t strike your wife and children. 

Don’t cause panic in their hearts as you demand your own way.

Don’t put restraints on them from being free to live a healthy & happy life in the Lord.

Do not envy your mate’s or your children’s well being.

Do not provoke your family. 

Treat your wife and children with respect.

Do speak kindly to your family members at all times.

Lead your family with gentle words.

Share your things with your family. 

Be considerate about the wants and needs of your family.

Encourage and uplift  your spouse and your children.

Find ways to put joy on their faces.  Do this consistently.

Give happiness & it will be given unto you.

I’ve met and seen a man that walked in violence instead of walking in love. He was most assuredly the unhappiest fellow I ever knew.

He had no lasting joy.  His head was disturbed.  Any peace he obtained was temporary. What a sad soul.

If you want to be remembered for doing kind things then consistently do kind things.

There Are Christian Men Against Domestic Violence & Lies

Monday, July 19th, 2010

There are now groups of Christian men against domestic violence. 

The men of God get together and tell women that they are valued in God’s eyes.  These Godly men realize the Christian woman is the temple of the Holy Ghost – a most sacred place.  Now we know a God fearing man would not walk into God’s temple and defile it, scream in it, tear it up, rant or rave at it. 

Christian men & women are speaking up against abuse.

Hey,  I have also been reminded that some men are abused but they have been quick to point out that men are the stronger ones.  God’s Word says the men are stronger.  There are more cases of domestic violence against the women & children than there is agaisnt men.  It is wrong to commit this crime.

Each person should be able to live a holy life without fear of abuse. 

JESUS is a gentleman.  Men are expected to be gentle, tender hearted, forgiving, and kind to all women and children, too.

These people are also aware of the fact that many abusers will lie about their victims.  There is nothing hidden from God’s sight.  God is causing his believers to wake up to the truth about cases of domestic violence.

Be Inspired With The Truth

God’s Word is full of inspiration.

Seek God & seek the truth.  It is the truth that sets you free. 

There is hope for all who will serve God.  

What Love Is & What It Is Not

Monday, July 19th, 2010

If you read from I Corinthians Chapter13 you will be reading the Love Chapter. 

 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

*********************************************************

I met a group of people that love the Lord.  They also found out that there are abusive people who use the Word of  God to try to trap people in relationships or marriages.  These unGodly people are expecting the ones that love the Lord to follow God’s Word but they do not plan on following God’s Word themselves.  Here are some things the decent people  are telling one another so they know it is not God’s will for people to stay in abusive relationships:

Love is not abusive.  (Love does not behave itself unseemly.)

Love does not demand it’s own way. (Love seeketh not her own.)

Love does not threaten harm. (Love is kind.)

Love does not rant and rave. (Love is patient & kind.)

Love does not criticize in order to puff self up. (Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.)

Love does not blame the other person for things you do that are wrong. (Love rejoiceth in the truth & is kind. Love rejoiceth not in inquity.)

Love does not justify wrong doing.  (Love rejoiceth not in iniquity.)

Love does not bruise bodies, hit/strike people, throw  things at you, push you around, bully you, break things.  (Love is kind.)

Love does not tell lies.  (Love rejoiceth in the truth.)  Love is honest. 

Love does not manipulate words &/or circumstances to try to get it’s own way.  (Love seeketh not her own.)

Love does not easily get angry. (Love  is not easily provoked.)

Love does not show love one minute & contempt a few minutes later. (Love is faithful.)

 

********************** IF someone tells you they love you yet they treat you in  a manner that does not prove they are walking in love  walk away from them.  You do not have to take the abuse.
