There are infants, young children, teenagers, and young adults who have been abandoned by parents and left to grow up without family. That is a hideous thing to do to one’s own seed (1 Timothy 5:8). It is terrible to imagine an irresponsible person bringing a child into the world and fleeing, claiming that his style has been cramped. Youngsters are then faced with foster homes or city agencies where they will live and have employees as the ones that they come home to after school. In Philadelphia this has happened too many times with no end in sight. To that person about to give birth, don’t abandon that child! That innocent one is your responsibility, and you will answer to God.

Be a man. Be a woman. Take care of that child and provide a home for him! To those who have already abandon children, repent! Go back get those children and do the right thing! And finally, wait until you get married to have children, plan your family. So take care of business and quit sinning against children, causing them to face lives without a home or parents (Genesis 42:22).

Have you ever given any thought about the rainbow? Do you think it just happens to appear for no reason? The truth is, the rainbow is no accident. It appears after the rain because it has been programmed to do so. The rainbow is God giving us a warning and assurance concerning a promise.
​
During the days of Noah, God wiped all land life away with a world wide flood, and He said that would never happen to the earth again (Genesis 6:22, 8:21-22). After Noah left the ark, God told him that the rainbow would be set in the sky as a sign of His eternal promise (Gen. 9:8-17). So think about that the next time you see a rainbow. And by the way, the earth and sky will not be destroyed by nations and their nukes, but by the hand of the Almighty at the Judgment (2 Peter 3:1-13; Matthew 24:35; Hebrews 1:10-12).

Some have said, “why buy the cow, if you can get the milk for free”? They are speaking of marriage and attempting to defend why they don’t believe in the institution of marriage. Marriage is real regardless what men think; it was created by the Lord and given to man in the beginning (Matthew 19:4-5; Genesis 2:18-25). In marriage a man can have sex with his wife and not have to worry about the wrath of God because of fornication (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; 1 Corinthians 7:1-5).

In marriage a man can have children and not have to suffer the wrath of God (1 Cor. 7:14; 1 Timothy 5:10, 3:4, 12; Colossians 3:18-21, 25). In marriage a woman can have the companionship of a man and not have to worry about standing before God on the Day of Judgment and giving account as to why she lived with a man in violation (shacking up) of the word of the Lord (2 John 9; John 12:48). Let me remind you that living together came after God gave His law to marry. It is a innovation created by man and will lead to many losing their souls (1 Cor. 6:9, 13, 18; Ephesians 2:2-3; Ecclesiastes 7:29). And by the way, marriage according to God is male and female, and man cannot change that.

Nations throughout the world are facing severe economical hardships. Foreclosures and unemployment appear to have no end in sight. So what are we to do? One thing we cannot do is give up hope because we must believe that things will get better.

Man needs to continue the search for a job and homes because once a person stops, all hope stops. The phrase, “keep hope alive” means that hope must be stimulated—it just doesn’t stay within man—but by believing in a better tomorrow, that hope keeps churning. Man must not be too proud to do what he may have never done before. For example, if working at Burger King was a no, no, man must be prepared to work there. In other words, the phrase “Ain’t too proud to beg” is the way to go. And last but not least, remember God. In the past, there has been too much emphasis on making money and none for the Lord, and that kind of conduct must change (Proverbs 1:20-33; Deuteronomy 28:1-68).
