spiritualinspiration: Everyone faces the storms of ife. Sometimes we have the faith to be delivered from the storms instantly; sometimes we have the faith to walk through the storms. But no matter which route you take, you can be sure that God is right there with you. He will equip you and sustain you. He will give you the grace, the supernatural empowerment, to make it through. Today, maybe you are facing a storm and can’t quite see a way out. Maybe you’re not sure what the answer is. All you have to do is take it one step at a time by saying, “God, I know You have a good plan for my future.” “God, I am doing better today than I was yesterday.” “God, I know You are leading and guiding me.” With every step you take, know that God is doing a work in your life. Know that He is with you, and He will comfort you. Keep moving forward. Keep taking those steps of faith and keep walking through the storm into the place of victory He has prepared for you!

spiritualinspiration: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18)
I went to church with my family tonight and the pastor said something that I think every Christian should hear Pastor: Now, according to a few passages in the bible, homosexuality is a sin. Couple of older males in the audience: Amen! Pastor: Now, wait, I'm not finished. Pastor: You know what else the bible defines as a sin? Divorce. -uncomfortable silence- Pastor: There are countless passages that talk about how divorce is wrong, and that there are consequences to getting a divorce, such as the wife should be stoned. Pastor: Yet, I witnessed a divorce just this morning. And I gotta tell you, it was heartbreaking, but I definitely didn't attempt to throw rocks at the wife, even though she was the one who filed for divorce. Pastor: We choose to overlook the consequences of divorce because time has proven that they're inhumane and cruel. Pastor: The bible doesn't say anything about the consequences of a homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we seem to be spearheading a campaign to ruin the lives of people we don't even know. -the pastor shifts a few notes around- Pastor: The bible states to love thy neighbor. That's it. There are no other rules or restrictions to that passage. Pastor: So, we as a church family have to support equality with a smile on our face. THAT is the true Christian way.
