Milk Toast

Gallery 7 Comments

I asked ABBA a question this morning; we are still discussing it.

ABBA, have we as Western people made You into a milk-toast God – a God Who is no longer Just or capable of being angry at sin or sinners?

Isn’t it true that healthy people separate themselves from close fellowship with others who do them harm? Is GOD not smart enough to do that too? Perhaps a few verses related to fellowship would shed some light. Click HERE.

Why would we want a GOD that does not punish (or at the least warn and correct folks committing) sin? Why would we want a GOD Who is all love, the sappy kind that says “oh any thing you want to do is fine with me; I’ll even stand here and applaud as you do what I have revealed in My Word is deadly for you?” What kind of soul wants that kind of GOD? What kind of parent does that to their children? What kind of society does that to itself? 

Has the Western society at large come to the place its people want no GOD or perhaps a GOD that bows to the people instead of the people bowing to Him in love and obedience?

Day 36
330 days remaining after today.

Nearly Friday again already!

I’ve heard lots of lies today. I watched the News.

I’ve seen the faces of people with eyes that appear to be open but are surely closed for they cannot see or perhaps will not. It’s frustrating! Obviously, since I am expressing it on this screen. I suspect some of you are similarly frustrated. If so, this is what I think we must do: Pray and pray some more. Pray specifically. Take their names to ABBA. Not that He does know – it just helps me to tell on them. :)

Please intercede for these United States of America that are not so united anymore. 

I am grateful for Scripture that assures me this corruption will not stand forever; that those who practice evil will not escape the consequences of their lawless deeds. Please understand I am not asking for lightning bolts to be hurled on their heads; much to the contrary. I desire for them to repent, believe the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST and be redeemed. Even so it must be that if they do not repent, ABBA is just and they will be stopped in His time. I rest in that; even if they barter their way out of orange jumpsuits and handcuffs throughout their life span here, justice will reach them.  

And so, anger subsides.

I heard something else today. Not Scripture. Chapter and verse. But Biblically sound I think. When I am swept away in anger, most often that is because I am seeing myself as a victim. We must not stay in that place! We are not victims!

We are over comers in Him Who loves us! (Romans 8:37) And this applies, whatever political party is presently corrupting Washington. This helps me. And believe me I need help! 

First of all, then, I counsel that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all human beings, 2 including kings and all in positions of prominence; so that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives, being godly and upright in everything. 3 This is what God, our Deliverer, regards as good; this is what meets his approval.

 ABBA, perhaps I will spare our Readers the name calling, especially since You know. You have heard the names more than a few times. So for now I will ask You to forgive us and heal our land. Like the movie the War Room I ask You to raise up a people; a people that will love You, worship You, obey You and will demonstrate Your Gospel to all the world, especially here in America. I am not happy with the sin and corruption that has brought this present darkness to America, darker than any time in our history and I pray for the LIGHT to dawn. I pray a people will hear You and will pray, seek Your individual will for themselves and will be available to You for what You desire to do through each of us to glorify Your Name and save America. Raise up a People LORD that will obey Your Word and let us see a Leader in the Oval Office that Honors You and the Constitution You gave us for JESUS sake.  

Until Next Time ~ ~ ~ Kathie

Spring Break and Gang Rape

Gallery Leave a comment

I’m not sure where to air this. I thought of a Facebook status; but it is way long for that.  So I suppose here at The White Stone is my most logical venue. Reader beware. :)

Spring Break. Sexual assault. Gang rape.

Perhaps you have seen the media coverage as I have. Perhaps you have personal opinions. I do. Perhaps you are interested. Perhaps not. And if not, may I suggest you cease now to read my offering. There is a chance if you continue reading you will blush red, perhaps with anger.

Even if a woman walks stark naked on the beach she should be in NO danger of rape or sexual assault, verbal or physical. All specimens of the male gender are solely responsible for their own evil behaviors! And to assault or rape a female however she is dressed or not dressed is evil! Period the end!

But I’m not finished.

Females everywhere. But particularly females of Christian Faith. We live on a sin cursed planet filled with people with evil hearts and because of that is it not foolish, evil even, to walk around, sun bath, swim, you name it with only a quarter of an inch of fabric between your genital area and exposure?! How innocent can we reasonably label ourselves to be when we parade the beach, the street, even the church house in clothes that are a very few inches from exposing that which GOD gifted us with for the marital bed?

I have asked myself what was I thinking years ago when I did that very thing?!  An evil heart wanted attention. An evil heart thought I had a hot body and I was quite willing to show it off.  If it caused a man to lust, that was his problem and to my sin sick mind just confirmation to me that I was indeed one hot chick. Oh how grateful I am that GOD was gracious and kind and forgiving and taught me differently!!

Back then I did not know that I was of much more worth than a nice body and there was no one who loved me enough to run the risk of offending me to share with me that I had much more to offer than the size 4 frame I was sporting.

I can hear it now.  If you got it flaunt it! If you’re young show it off.  Have you considered the source of that philosophy? Do you have Chapter and Verse in the Bible that gives you permission to expose to the world what GOD gave you for YOUR HUSBAND – not your fiancé, not your present boyfriend and not everyone in eye vicinity!  And please don’t come back at me yeah but you’re old now, no wonder you no longer wear a bikini, short shorts, plunging necklines and thigh high shirts. No brag, just fact: at 63 I can again wear a size four; I’ve worked hard to get here, but that does not give me the right to wear too short, too low, too tight, too clingy, to show off my hard work. I don’t cover up because it’s saggy and ugly. I dress to please my JESUS and protect from public view what my hubby gratefully knows is reserved only for him.

I saw a picture on Facebook recently. A young woman and a young man (possibly late teens), spring breaking it at the beach with family. I suspect they have an exclusive relationship, albeit not engaged or married yet; and in this picture they are embracing one another for the camera. So what troubles me? Bare skin to bare skin.  Much, much more uncovered than covered.

My question is why? Why do we not ask ourselves why? Why so little clothing?

Scripture tells me I have been bought with a price. Scripture tells me I am a Living Sacrifice for my Savior. Scripture tells me I am to adorn myself in modest apparel. I Cor. 6:20. Romans 12:1. I Timothy 2:9. I Thessalonians 5:17.

So what is modest? Certainly that is open to interpretation but there must be some guidelines in Scripture. Right? Surely the Whole Counsel of GOD contained in Scripture would give us guidelines. Right?

From the Counsel of GOD in His Word, I have arrived at guidelines that keep my soul in peace. I would that all GOD’s women come to live lives filled with His Peace; and modesty is a part of that.

Perhaps if we were face to face you would ask so what are your guidelines. Since we are not, ask anyway via email. 

If you do nothing else, get your Scripture and prove to yourself the validity or not of modesty and whether or not you are practicing it – your age and the condition of your body must not be the deciding factor. Exalting JESUS is to be our final authority for our clothes and ALL that we say or do in this life.
