LIVING WITH A PSYCHO


YOU KNOW, I SOMETIMES WONDER WHAT GOES ON WITH ME.

ONE MINUTE, I GET UP IN THE EARLY MORNING AND IMMEDIATELY GO TO MY QUIET PLACE TO TALK WITH GOD. THE NEXT MINUTE, I’M LOOSING MY TEMPER AND YELLING. ONE MOMENT, I’M READING MY BIBLE AND JOURNALING THE THINGS THE LORD IS SAYING TO ME. THE NEXT MOMENT, I’M GOSSIPING TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY CO-WORKER. ONE MINUTE, I’M TEACHING MY KIDS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL ABOUT JESUS. THE NEXT, I’M HONKING IMPATIENTLY AT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME FOR DRIVING TOO SLOW.

IT’S LIKE I’M LIVING WITH A PSYCHO, ACTING LIKE A CHRISTIAN ONE MOMENT, THEN ACTING LIKE THE DEVIL THE NEXT!

THE APOSTLE PAUL OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD THIS. HE WROTE IN ROMANS 7:15…

15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

BECAUSE WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH THE SIN NATURE IN US, WE SOMETIMES STRUGGLE WITH OBEYING GOD AND HIS WORD. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MAKE THE CHOICE WHICH NATURE WILL WE FOLLOW. WE’LL ALWAYS MAKE MISTAKES. SOMETIMES WE SLIP INTO BAD HABITS LIKE WE SLIP ON A PAIR OF OUR FAVORITE COMFORTABLE SHOES. THANK GOD, HE IS PATIENT WITH US, AND HELPS US TO DO BETTER THE NEXT TIME. LIFE IS A JOURNEY. BUT IT’S COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT HE’S ALWAYS WITH US. LET’S CHOOSE RIGHT CHOICES. LET’S FOLLOW AFTER THE WORD. LET’S WALK IN LOVE AND TRUTH.

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
