The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow! I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?" Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

I Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that? Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another. It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago. We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids). Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor. ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though. And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. ) Other people seem to close up. It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/.
