There are two major physical wars going on right now. Russia vs Ukraine and the USA vs Iran.  
The world doesn’t need neither war and there has been lives wiped out and others ruin for life. 
 
Ego, pride greed, stupidity and many other evils from Satan are the cause for these two conflicts.
Sitting down and reasoning together or allowing to live and let live doesn’t appear to be the
wisdom that some world leaders possess.
 
So, what is the Christian to do?  I say Christians, because they are the only ones on earth that have
a relationship with God the owner of this planet. God is still in charge and He knows every world leader; and how He will decide to deal with them when the time is ready in His eyes.
 
To Christians, keep praying to God about this mess that men have gotten us into.
​The prayers of righteous people work. Jas 5.16

What should a boyfriend do when his girlfriend moves to another state for a great job?
Here are some facts. Number one, he and this female aren’t married.
Number two, God created man and wife for marriage.
Number three, if you want to please God, you need to become man and wife.
Number four, if this boyfriend cares enough about this girlfriend, he will marry her.
 
If he can't move to that state; he should just go to visit her or she visit him.
In no way, should he live with her. We are not ignorant of the fact that many people do
just the opposite.1 Tim 5.15   The problem with that is it’s not God's order. 1 Tim 5.14
 
When a man lives with a woman, they are creating a sinful union of fornication,
​and such will send a person to Hell. Gal 5.19-21. 1 Cor 6.9-10.  1 Cor 7.1-5.

In Genesis chapter 39, we read that Joseph was a young good-looking man and he was very successful in his work. This undoubtedly attracted his employer's wife to him. 

She confronted Joseph about having sex but he refused; and she confronted him many days and he continued to refuse. He even explained to this woman that such would be a sin in the eyes of God because she was a married woman and Joseph didn't want to do anything to offend God and tarnish himself. But the woman still wasn't having it; she was just too immoral.  One day when she could not take Joseph's refusal any longer, she made sure that the house was empty and Joseph was the only one working.

​She aggressively approached Joseph demanding sex from him. Joseph ran out of the house leaving his coat behind.   Later the woman claimed that Joseph tried to rape her and when she screamed, Joseph ran.  Joseph was put in prison, but God was with him and he provided many opportunities for Joseph.
 
If you know what is right; do it, and if you suffer for your faith; be strong.  1 Peter 3.14.

​You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me. John 5:39
These words spoke Jesus, as He encouraged the people to develop the reading of the word of God.  Within the pages of the holy writ, are the lessons which will lead people to heaven.  But if people don’t read the word of the Lord; they won’t be pleasing in His sight, nor will they go to heaven.
The bible is to be understood and it is to be obeyed.  Far too many don’t know God because they don’t seek Him by reading about His life in the bible.
The 66 books in the bible are divided by the old testament and the new testament.The new testament is where men are introduced to and taught by Jesus Christ.By a study of the book of Acts, men are shown the church which Jesus established.  The old testament isn’t for us today, because it was for the nation of the Jews. By reading the old testament, one can see many things done by the Jews which would be difficult today. But the old testament ceased to be binding with the death of Christ upon the cross and we are left with the much better new testament.

“Oh Lord, who may live in Your tent?  Who may live on Your holy hill? He who walks without blame and does what is right and good and speaks the truth in his heart.  He does not hurt others with his tongue, or do wrong to his neighbor, or bring shame to his friend.  He looks down upon a sinful person, but honors those who fear the Lord. He keeps his promises even if it may hurt him.  He gives money to be used without being paid for its use. And he does not take money to hurt those who are not guilty. He who does these things will never be shaken. “          Psalm 15 New Life Version (NLV)

In Jeremiah chapter 38, we read of the prophet being thrown into a mud pit
because he prophesised against the evil doings of Jerusalem and warned them to repent. 
Instead, Jeremiah was thrown into a mud pit because the high-ranking officials of the
city didn’t want to change their ways. Jeremiah ended up in the pit, but he did not stay
there long; because God worked through a man who was an Ethiopian.
This man went to the king and pleaded the case that Jeremiah shouldn’t die in that
circumstance; but they should let him out and the king listened. 
 
Later, Jeremiah was given an audience with the King, and he again warned of the
coming disaster.  Unfortunately, the king still didn't do anything about getting the people
to repent.  He just listened to what the prophet had to say and let everything go on as before.  
The city ended up being attacked and destroyed by the Babylonian empire.
 
When God speaks, man needs to listen and obey.

​When a male and female are dating; they need to date; not try to play husband and wife.   That means no changing her last name to his. Not moving in with him. Not paying each other’s bills.  Not having sexual intercourse.  etc.  The reason being, that person isn’t your spouse. You haven’t made marriage vows with that person. 1 Cor 7.39.
 
Date the person. Find out their beliefs.  Dreams. Goals. Who they are as a person. Their family background. What they are looking for in a potential mate, etc.   See if the person is compatible.
 
By dating, one should keep their intentions pure. It should be like a job interview in certain ways.  One is trying to decide if the person is the one and when that is confirmed; its marriage time.   Hebrews 13.4. Proverbs 18.22. Matt 19.5

​In certain places of the United States there is a heat wave.  I’m talking about severe heat lasting from three to five days and some places down in the southern United States; I've been told it can last for a month.  Over in Europe, they are finally understanding what it means to have air conditioning.   European cities didn't have air conditioning and they're now facing a heat wave.  One thing I can say that is the heat of the summer ought to make people think about Hell.  the Bible teaches that Hell is a terrible place of fire and brimstone for eternity.    Matt 3.7-12. Mk 8.42-48.  
 
So, the next time you sweat from high humidity; think about the fires of hell and what you are going to do to get away from it.   We can help you to learn how to be saved.

We serve the Lord and we enjoy serving Him.  We serve the Lord so we can be right in His sight.  When He judges us at the end of this life; He will look at our service and like how we remained faithful and then He will allow us to enter heaven. Matt 7.21
 
The people who will be in hell are people who did not serve the Lord. They lived the way they wanted to and didn’t concern themselves with the commandments of God.
We want to warn everybody what's going to happen if they do not change. Luke 13.3
 
Serving the Lord is not a terrible thing. Why wouldn’t you not want your Creator to be happy with how you live on the earth?   By being His servant, you not only have a relationship with Him, but you're able to receive blessings from His mighty hand. 

​There's just no other way to live this life, for on that day, Jesus will say 
“well done good and faithful servant enter into the joy of thy Lord”.  Matt 25.21-23
