According to the Bible, a person is damned when he is without redemption—heading toward the eternal flames of Hell (Mark 16:16; Galatians 1:8-9; 1 Corinthians 16:22; John 8:21; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; Romans 1:18-32; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Matthew 25:41, 23:33; Mark 3:29; 2 Peter 2:3). Now, God is the Creator, the Father, and Supreme One, and He cannot be damned (1 Timothy 6:16; James 1:17; Revelation 22:5; 1 John 1:5).

So, why do men use His name in a profane way by adding it to the word “damn”? That is not only taking Jehovah’s name in vain, but it’s also blasphemous! (2 Peter 2:9-18; Jude 8; Acts 13:45; Rom. 2:24; Psalm 74:10-18; 2 Tim. 3:2; James 2:7).

So, what is a person to do? Stop using God’s name with the word “damn!” Being damned is certainly true, but be assured, God isn’t a part of it.

Halloween is here, and for those who believe Ghosts haunt the earth, their belief will become more intense. But such ought not be the case—it’s just another holiday where people dress in costumes and give candy. However, man needs guidance, something to show him direction and shine light on the issues with which he is confronted. So that is where the Bible helps, and people can better themselves by having faith in the word (Hebrews 11:6; Psalm 19:8-10; Mark 9:21-23; Psa. 119:105).

The scriptures are God’s speech to man, and He teaches that the dead don’t spook the living (2 Timothy 3:14-17; Ecclesiastes 9:4-6,10; Job 7:1-10, 10:18-22; Psa. 103:13-16; 2 Samuel 12:22-23). At death the spirit of man is removed from earth and taken to Hades to await Judgement (James 2:26; Heb. 9:27; Psa. 90:10; Luke 24:5; Luke 22:42-43; Acts 2:29-32; Luke 16:19-31). Ignorance of what the Bible teaches has lead many to believe things, and a highly creative imagination has cause many to think they hear and see things (Acts 17:22-27). But if one believes the word of the Lord, he will be secure (Proverbs 1:29-33; Psa. 34:10; 1 Peter 2:2-6).

The earth won’t be destroyed by countries firing nuclear bombs at each other. Nor will it be destroyed by the pollution of the ozone to the point that all life suffocates. The earth will be destroyed by God who is the Creator (Genesis 1:1). That will occur on the day of Judgment when God will destroy this earth with fire (2 Peter 3:9-13; 1 John 2:17; Mark 13:31).

The Judgment Day is unknown to men, but it will be the day all men stand before God and answer for the deeds of their life (Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 17:30-31; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7; John 12:48; Ecclesiastes 12:14).

The reason man cannot destroy the earth is because God said he would be the one who does and the Lord doesn’t lie (Hebrews 6:18). Another reason man cannot destroy the world is because God has structured the earth so that it cannot be undone by man (Jeremiah 32:27; Luke 1:37; Hebrews 1:10-12; Psalm 104:5; Eccl. 1:4).

Some faiths teach their members to pray at certain times and places, but the word of God doesn’t teach this doctrine. As far as prayer is concerned, the scriptures teach that men must pray always, and prayer can take place everywhere (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Luke 18:1; 1 Timothy 2:9; Colossians 4:2; Acts 7:59; Romans 12:12; Luke 6:12; Acts 12:5; Ephesians 6:18).

Prayer is a wonderful privilege because it affords man an opportunity to come before the Creator and petition Him. Just imagine the horrible state of man if God refused to honor prayer!. But, prayer is refused by God when a person continues to sin and will not repent (John 9:31).

​Many estranged couples give excuses like, “We just drifted apart” or “the spark just went out in our marriage”.

Marriage isn’t going to work by itself. Men and women must put aside their pride, educate their ignorance, and practice some creativity to enhance their relationship. Women, it isn’t a sin to bring your husband some flowers, or treat him to a romantic dinner. Men, it isn’t weak to surprise your wife with gifts, flowers, loving words, open doors for her, or help with the house work. Couples must practice enjoying one another—like the enjoyment one gets from a cold drink on a hot summer day (Ecclesiastes 9:7-9).

Suppose you were following a friend in your car to his house for the first time. In order not to get lost or too far back from him, you would apply all your attention and creativity on staying behind him at the right speed.

Suppose you were sitting in front of a warm fire on a cold night, concern and effort would have you apply all your energy on keeping that fire going. Your concern will not allow the fire go out.

Reader, if you can understand the examples we just mentioned, then surely you must understand how such will work in a marriage. Both persons must purpose to keep the marriage alive (Daniel 1:8).
