HOW MY WIFE CURED ME OF "FLIP-FLOPPING"

Written by Rev. James L. Snyder


Continued from page 1

Everything came to a head (my head, that is) when I started ordering my breakfast. I could not decide on what I wanted for breakfast. At first, it was eggs, then pancakes, then oatmeal. All ofrepparttar selections looked delicious and I just couldn't make up my mind.

I finally settled on eggs but could not decide how I wanted them. With so many ways to fix eggs, it is hard to make a decision on scrambled, fried or soft-boiled. They all sounded scrumptious atrepparttar 126698 time.

I settled on scrambled eggs but calledrepparttar 126699 waitress back five times to change my order. In hindsight, I see my problem but; then I was held hostage to my changeability, which quickly turned into a liability.

Asrepparttar 126700 waitress leftrepparttar 126701 table forrepparttar 126702 fifth time, I was about to recall her when my eyes happened to catch my wife's eyes. I was startled to see fiery daggers dance from her eyes in — yes, you guessed it — my direction.

The most staggering element wererepparttar 126703 words spattering from her mouth. To say I was shocked is like saying a skunk has aroma issues.

"Either," she snarled, "you flip or you flop." She took a deep breath and continued, "This flip-flopping has got to stop, and stop now."

I do not knowrepparttar 126704 difference between a flip and a flop. Is a flip, for example, worse than a flop? Moreover, is it possible to flip and not flop?

To this day, I have no idea of what she meant, but atrepparttar 126705 time, I could see she was in no mood to explain and I was not in a frame of mind to hear her explanation. After all, I am a gentleman and I love life — especially my own.

Then she gave me that womanly grimace, conveyingrepparttar 126706 idea that she really meant what she said and furthermore, she could back it up with actions. I don't know what those "actions" were, and believe me, I can liverepparttar 126707 rest of my life without that wee bit of knowledge, thank you.

Later that day I reflected on this incident and reached for my Bible. Several verses suggested themselves to me.

"For I amrepparttar 126708 Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." (Malachi 3:6 KJV.)

Andrepparttar 126709 New Testament verse that says, "Jesus Christ,repparttar 126710 same yesterday and today, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8 KJV.)

As I meditated on these two verses, my heart warmed with gratitude that Jesus did not flip-flop when it came to my redemption.

Why Is The Resurrection Of Jesus Important?

Written by Randall McClure Sr.


Continued from page 1

The Resurrection Spirit. The Bible says that we can haverepparttar same spirit in us asrepparttar 126697 Spirit of Him that raised Jesus fromrepparttar 126698 dead (Romans 8:11). This is another assurance for Christians that explicitly tells us that we will have eternal life as we will go throughrepparttar 126699 same resurrection as Jesus Christ. The spirit of God that is in all Christians will defeat death. This resurrection will happen just likerepparttar 126700 resurrection of Jesus whenrepparttar 126701 spirit of God in Him defeated death. On Judgement Day, all believers will receive their glorified body and live forever.

Scriptures Concerning The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:9, Knowing that Christ being raised fromrepparttar 126702 dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

John 11:25, Jesus said unto her, I amrepparttar 126703 resurrection, andrepparttar 126704 life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

1 Peter 1:21, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up fromrepparttar 126705 dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Romans 8:11, But ifrepparttar 126706 Spirit of him that raised up Jesus fromrepparttar 126707 dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ fromrepparttar 126708 dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
