LIVING IN A HOUSE DIVIDED



    Okay sports fans, a house divided means some people in your house go for a certain team and you go for another.  Today, I want to talk about trying to live for God and still living part of your life in the world.  I am going to be blunt today.  It does not work.  It will not ever work.  No matter how gifted you feel you are at straddling the fence, you can not serve two masters.  You either want to live a life in the light, or you want to continue to keep darkness in your life.


    It is not easy to walk with God, but it is very much worth it.  The first thing is accepting Christ into your heart and repenting of your sins.  If you have been saved, but you feel that you need to renew this vow, it is not too late.  God loves you.  He sent His only begotten Son to die for you.  All of our sin has been cleansed away.  We are white as snow.  God knows that we can not do this on our own.  He is there to help us.  He is the strength we need to live a life for Him.

    I have spent a lot of time in my walk with God fighting a losing battle.  I thought that if I did most everything right.  I would be right.  It doesn't work that way.  Living like that left me feeling wrong.  I felt as if I was missing something important.  And I was.  I was missing the joy and peace that truly living in God's will brings.

    I was a worrier, I was sad and depressed, I was tired and weak.  I felt so discouraged all of the time.  It took me really getting in the Word to realize that I was missing so much.  God is a God of love, peace, hope, and joy.  He is strength.  He offers a life, not without problems, but full of solutions.  He is able to take all of your impossibilities and make them possible, even when man says it can not be done. 

    God is capable of more than you can ever imagine.  We get so wrapped up in circumstances that we forget who created the universe.  We forget all that God has done.  We lose out on an awesome inheritance. 

    I just want to encourage you today to get into His Word.  Learn what you have inherited.  Learn about your legacy.  Learn about how incredible God really is.  It will change your life.  It did mine and I wouldn't want my old life back, even for the world.

Love in Christ, 
Kristine

"The Pink Tornado"

            I had a great morning.   I went to church.   Praised God! Said my Hallelujahs and Amen’s and came home.   I was in very good spirits, until I spied my fiancé sitting there watching TV.   All of a sudden I just started running that flapper and couldn’t stop.   Let me rephrase I was not able to stop because I felt justified at the time in what I was saying.   I really hurt his feelings and I instantly felt bad and apologized.               However, that was not the end of things.   I just was so easily irritated today, for no apparent reason.   It was like this battle was raging in my mouth and my tongue lost.   We had another service this evening at church and at the end one of our guest preachers started talking about the power of words and the power of the tongue.             I proved earlier in the day and on many other days, how hurtful I could be with just a word.   My fiancé often will tell me, “There you go, that pink tornado is on the loose again.”   So, for the last

"Like A Moth to A Flame"

                          I have an issue.   Sounds funny, but the reality is that I know I am not the only one.   Actually to be completely honest I have more than one problem, just like so many other people.   Everyone has problems.   It is identifying them, pinpointing the cracks in your defense and dealing with them in a Godly way that really matters.             Out of my many problems/issues, I wanted to talk about my Moth to a Flame syndrome.   Yep, this is Krissycorrect terminology.   Acronym MTAF.   You might wonder, “What is MTAF?” I am going to break this down just like they would on WebMD: OVERVIEW & FACTS: Moth to a Flame Syndrome, A.K.A MTAF, is a disorder common to both men and women.   It occurs when people are attracted to people that are not good for them spiritually and/or in the flesh. In this attraction they make decisions to be involved romantically before they are married.   It is brought on by the human response of excitement, danger, and for women, “the
