A Real Man Isn't Defined by His Bacon

When women are asked the question, "Why do you love your husband?", their responses are similar; "Because he works hard, he makes a good income and provides for our family." When men are asked, "What makes you a good husband?", they typically respond with "I work hard to pay the bills, put a roof over my family's head and put food on the table." There is certainly nothing wrong with working to bring home the bacon...IF that's what God tells you to do...

It's Not About the Work, It's About His Will.

I have personally experienced and witnessed the undeniable magnitude of people who firmly believe that getting a job (working a 9-5) is a must; that it's the only way we can expect to provide for ourselves and our families.  Worse yet, some believe it's the only way we can expect the Lord to bless us. I understand now, it stems from pure fear of "doing the right thing", A.K.A. not understanding God's promises.

Blessings in Believing

Blessings in Obedience 

The old testament law still exists; it's perfect, holy, and its purpose is to bring people to Jesus. Jesus fulfilled the law; which means we are no longer made acceptable to God by obeying it.

What is Real Worship?

What does it really mean to worship; is it raising your hands in church? What is true worship; is it jumping up and down? What is worship exactly; is it screaming or whew hooing? What is the actual meaning of worship? Well, take all of those outward appearances...and throw them out the window. Can worship manifest in those forms, yes. The outward, visible signs of worship can be seen in many forms; singing, dancing, painting, sculpting etc. In fact, that's how I was raised. I was taught from a young age that worshiping was ALL of that.
