It's an everything gap. What will you do?

Generation Gap Expectation Gap  Gender Gap  Age Gap  Personality Gaps  Language Barrier  Break down the walls and listen.  There are real issues that need to be dealt with, real feelings that need to be felt, and words that need to be spoken. Each day I feel more lost, but now I’m just heartbroken. We need to come together to work through this, to unite, to be one, to mend hearts, to stop tears, to grow. I will go down fighting for my family if this is the last thing I do.

The Story Of God - Genesis 3

Genesis 3 explains the fall of man but is it really that? Or is it a story of something else? Genesis 1-2: God creates a perfect earth and He even calls this more of creating even more perfect people. But then in Genesis 3, this "plan" falls apart and sin begins. Description of the enemy : Genesis 3:1 describes the serpent being crafty. Crafty would mean something you don't expect. This serpent was not scary looking, with horns and sharp teeth. Crafty, secretly, equals to questioning the right God asked you to follow (v. 1). Crafty makes us not be prepared to defend ourselves because you don't notice the enemy, it could be a voice in your mind, something beautiful that you should not touch (ex. An apple from the tree). When the serpent questions it seems as if he is saying "God is telling you, you cannot enjoy life" then adds contradiction to your life (v. 2-5). The serpent wants you to see the creator of the universe is an obstacle in enjoying your life. If...

Strong Exterior

Here's the definition of strong: 1. having,   showing,   or   able   to   exert   great   bodily   or   muscular power;   physically   vigorous   or   robust   2. accompanied   or   delivered   by   great   physical,   mechanical, etc.,   power   or   force 3. mentally   powerful   or   vigorous 4. especially   able,   competent,   or   powerful   in   a   specific   field   or respec 5. of   great   moral   power,   firmness,   or   courage Okay, when one shows strength on that outside, it's to get you through a difficult situation. Another person makes fun of you, they hurt your feelings, they put you down. You have to go through life pushing it all aside and keeping your head held high. Such things are merely just words, you know who you truly are, and you know what your val...

Struggle: Patience

Isn't it strange that the happy outgoing folk are also broken on the inside? It's like we put up this facade of HOW people see us and HOW people have SEEN us, that we HAVE to be happy or joyful to show that we're not broken. We're broken in sin but not that bad? But it's because we have this perspective of how people view us that we can't show that we are truly broken. How do we become vulnerable to those that have never seen us vulnerable besides best friends and God himself? [I understand we all have struggles. We all deal with them differently. Some are stronger than others, some don't even know they are struggling, some have a great community to run to to lift them up]   I'm just saying the ones who show they are happy, rarely get questioned a genuine "How are you?" because when we see them we don't think it's necessary. But we all need to worry about each other, show our love by understanding each others lives. When listening to ot...

JAESON MAE'S LATEST BLOG: (thought everyone should check it out)  http://jaesonma.com/365-days-of-love-day-284-the-5-pillars-of-manhood-how-men-should-love-respect-women/ In our day an age most men are not men, they are boys. Most guys still want to marry their mom, have a women serve and take care of them, are not willing to take initiative or commit in a relationship, most men are still living in fear, not pursuing their callings by settling for “safe” because its easy Women don’t want to marry boys, they want to marry men. Women don’t want boys they have to put up with, clean up after and take care of, they want to be lead, pursued and taken on an exciting life adventure. If you go to most of the churches in the Western world today, you will find that there are very few spiritual men, instead there are many spiritual women. It’s disappointing, but I hear it from women of faith all the time, “Pastor Jaeson, where are the godly men?” The 5 Pillars of Manhood… 1. Lea...

Beauty Eve

DEFINE:  Beauty: the qualities that give pleasure to the senses Beautiful: delighting the senses or exciting intellectual or emotional admiration The world has taken beauty and brought it down to something that is not too significant. Beauty is now so cheap and we're losing the essence of it's form and spirit.  Some thoughts from reading Captivating : Beauty is the essence of God . You can see it through nature . It's the true nature that is filled with the glory of God. It's through the flowers, mountains, gardens, waterfalls, clouds, Summer, and Spring. Beauty surrounds us and it's just primarily beautiful. "Which is to say, beauty is in and of itself a great and glorious good, something we need in large and daily doses." -- Captivating God's creation of Eve is pure beauty, representation of all women. She's is filled with physical and spiritual beauty. Women are meant to be beautiful. [Look at the art work in the museum, filled with...

Encouraging Words

Responses and encouragement to True Impurity to reach TRUE PURITY: Hopefully this can encourage you as much as it has it encouraged me. (one response from a female and 2 from the males side) Female: I hope and pray that you will continue to feel FORGIVEN for your mistakes and actions in the past because our God is a good. He loves us enough to send His own Son down to die for us mere sinners. Enough to forgive us with His grace and mercy and to continue to overflow our cups with His love. Remember that you are a new creation in Him and that you're made new in His image. The old has gone, the new has come . You are indeed beautiful, blessed, and forgiven. Let the guilt and shame never separate you from our God but to bring you closer to His glory through your serving heart. Let His love fill you up and overflow you as a complete woman who is not needy and dependent on men and their affections. Let God break you free from the bandages of lust. I think first things first is to...
