have Eternal Security to look forward too. I likewise charge myself to be intentional about my faith daily and as often as necessary throughout the day, as I only wish to be pure and healthy.` As a Christian and a man of Prayer, I recognize this wonderful gift from God. I'm also aware of the attacks of the devil, which come my way because of my calling. I confess that I am not a perfect being; for this reason, I armor up every morning. I define the word Christian as someone who is CHRIST-LIKE; therefore, I find myself examing my conscience often during a day.
When one thinks of the word " Crooked."
You may think of something Not Straight; A Crooked Path; Devious; Dishonest; Evil; Twisted; Tricky or even Cunning. Ecclesiastes 1:15 " What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted."
Another scripture that I believe to be poignant is Psalm 125:5 says, " But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, the Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. " I believe that the Father's ability to restore life is beyond our perception, take for example, when we go to the barber/hair salon for that all-important hair cut it almost always grows back. Also, when we become ill most of the time, we regain our health. Even sorrow is never a permanent part of life. I know from many men that I pray for end up confessing that their tears can be translated into a harvest of joy only because God can bring benefit out of tragedy. So in the future, when burdened by sorrow, know that your period of grief will end and that you will once again find joy.
In Philippians 2:15, it says that you may become BLAMELESS and HARMLESS, children of God without fault in a CROOKED and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world."
As Believers, we are to be " Christlike," which is the meaning of being a " Christian " to me. Now I'm of the mind that Jesus died for you and me, and he was the perfect example for us to follow in every way. Every day brings its challenges
