A Prayer for Help

Oppose those who oppose me, Lord
And fight those who fight against me
Take your shield and armour
And come to my rescue
Lift up your spear and your axe
Against those who pursue me
Promise that you will save me

May those who try to kill me be defeated and disgraced
May those who plot against me be turned back and confused
May they be like straw blown by the winf
As the angel of the Lord pursues them
May their path be dark and slippery
While the angel of the Lord strikes them down

Without any reason they laid a trap for me
And dug a deep hole to catch me
But destruction will catch them before they know it
They will be caught in their own trap
And fall to their destruction

Then I will be glad because of the Lord
I will be happy because He saved me
With all my heart I will say to the Lord
''There is none like you.
You protect the weak from the strong,
The poor from the oppressor''

--------------------Psalms 35:1-10------------------

Forbidden Sexual Practices

Sexual immorality has been at an all-time high in the society today. Many people engage in disgusting sexual practices that are very offensive to God.

No one is excluded from the laws of sexual immorality as stated in the scriptures. We all have a duty and obligation to adhere to them and teach others to do the same. We are answerable to our brothers in one way or another. We have all been tasked by God to correct our brothers and sisters who go astray and help bring them back to our heavenly Father. After the Israelites left Egypt, Moses was given many rules and instructions to give to the people. They had to follow them and do everything to please God. They were given the Ten Commandments to govern and help them in their daily lives. They were also given other laws for living and relating to one another. ...

The Love of Wealth

Photo Credit: Dreamstime In today's materially focused world, many people want to have everything. They want to be rich, to have the latest car, to live in a huge classy house and many other things. People work hard day and night just to be able to get all these things. This ends up draining them and causing sleepless nights. They worry all the time about new projects to take up and the progress of the ones they are doing. The book of Ecclesiastes 5:10,12 talks says. "If you love money, you will never be satisfied. If you long to be rich, you will never get all you want. It is useless...Workers may or may not have enough to eat, but at least they can get a good night's sleep. The rich, however, have so much that they stay awake worrying." This does not mean that being rich is bad or a sin. Rather, God requires us to be satisfied with what we have and not complain all the time about what we are lacking. He wants us to appreciate what He has given us and use ...
