Be tolerant and give in?? Accommodate? Stay Strong!
This country is looking to be tollerant of everybody's way of life and behaviors. Just because a person has a certain behavior, does not mean we should find it acceptable or as what they want it to be "part of the "new" norm". As folks are lead further from the truth, they develop a what is right for me attitude, which is what is right for me is ok... and what is right for you is ok, now we have no standard! And everything becomes fundamentally equal. There has to be a standard, and we should stick to it. Yes, I am referring to the owner's manual of life. The Bible. Many people turn away from it, because it will show you who you are. Following the Bible I will never be perfect I understand that, but at least there is a standard that if we all followed would make this world better. Putting your neighbor before youself, what a concept. To Love one another (not as people love) as Jesus Loved us that he gave Himself for us. The Gift of God is free, but it did come with a price. Jesus Paid it.

Stepping Out in Faith
by Adrian Rogers - Love Worth Finding Ministries
BIBLE MEDITATION:
James 2:26 - "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When you ask God for something, do you just sit back, do nothing and say, “Well, I’m going to show my faith by doing nothing”? To the contrary, you will show your faith by doing something. For faith without works is what? Dead! (Also see James 2:20.) Do you want a house? Pray for it. Then say, “Amen,” with a hammer and saw. Do you want a wife? Pray for one. Then go shave, put on some cologne, learn some manners, and learn how to be thoughtful and loving.
ACTION POINT:
What have you been praying earnestly about this week? What is your heart’s desire? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how you can put feet to that prayer. Then, walk the talk!

John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
What can a branch do without a vine? Nothing! When you think your something, then God is not everything. And, God cannot be everything until you become nothing. But don't' worry about it, because God specializes in making something out of nothing.
