In the Bible, sweat represents works and performance.
There are only three places in scripture where sweat is mentioned. The first is when Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. God told Adam from now on he would toil by the sweat of his brow.
Before sin, Adam and Eve had an effortless relationship with their Creator.
This month marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
At lot of attention will be focused on abortion and the
results. Statistics will be broadcast of how many babies have died due to this
Supreme Court ruling.
Yes, the babies are the victims.
But so are the parents. While many will say they are fine, the truth is post-abortion stress syndrome lies deep within the soul.
This week's post is written by Miya Hunter-Willis. Miya and I met through the Flourish Writers Community. We can learn a lot about how far kindness can go and what an example we can be as Titus 2 women to anyone we meet through this touching story she shares.
Roman philosopher Lucius Anneas Seneca once said, “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” Well, my journey toward being kinder started with a dog. That’s right, a dog! One day, a bristly-haired terrier found her way to my yard, tempted by the scent of white-tailed deer and cottontails. Moments later, my doorbell rang.
Do you ever feel as if you are simply a number in the mass
population of this world? With over 7 billion people occupying this planet,
it’s easy to feel insignificant. We may struggle with what purpose we have or
what can we as one person do to make any difference.
We may have read John 3:16 over and over and know that God loved the world so much He gave us Jesus. But we may struggle with how much we matter to Him as individuals.
