March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

fatherless

F'ATHERLESS, a.


    1. Destitute of a living father; as a fatherless child.

    2. Without a known author.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Psalm 109:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
Psa 109:2  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
Psa 109:3  They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
Psa 109:4  For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
Psa 109:5  And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Psa 109:6  Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Psa 109:7  When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Psa 109:8  Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Psa 109:9  Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psa 109:10  Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Psalm 68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Psalms 82:3  Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Psalms 146:9  The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Exodus 22:22  Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

James 1:27 - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.


Over 15 years ago, I was looking for a wife. I ran into a woman that had a small child. A single mother. The story was typical back then and in many places still is. She got pregnant from a guy that really wanted nothing to do with the child. The guy had visitation rights but never showed up. He had a weird obsession with finding this woman that did not want to be found.

The woman seemed enamored towards me. But the child was a problem. I wanted nothing to do with it. I didn't cause this problem. And I was not responsible for picking up the pieces of this train wreck. The woman knew this too. The child was a liability to any prospect of a husband.

I am ashamed to admit that I had a brief evil thought about this. That I could somehow manipulate this woman to ditch her child so that I could have all the attention to myself. But this was quickly followed by the notion that I had no right to do this. It was wrong.

And so, I recognized that if this was to be, it was to be a package deal. I remember driving home one day from visiting this woman and asking God that if this was his plan for me, to give me a heart for this child.

And He did.

Be a father to the fatherless

That's what I heard.

Around that time He told me that I didn't have to go any further. I could just walk away. Or, if I chose to take this on, he would honor it and back me up. I had never been married. And the responsibility of being an instant parent scared me. Yet, I saw it as an honorable proposal. The former evil thought was banished forever.

Two other statements that I recalled at that time came from personal prophecies that I had received several years prior.

“They that are forgiven much, love me much. They that are forgiven little, love God little.”

and

“God's not only going to give you a wife, he's going to give you a whole family. And it's going to be so wholesome and so real to give meaning to your life. God's going to do this because he loves you.”

That last statement I kept hidden in my heart. I told no one about it for years.

It took a few years after that for me to work through the internal housekeeping necessary to prepare for what was to come. Needless to say, there was a lot of prayer continuously in the spirit. But eventually, it happened. We were married. And God kept His word to me.

Although I felt a huge weight of responsibility and accountability on my shoulders the day we were married, I can honestly say that these past 10+ years have been the happiest and most satisfying times of my entire life.
