Advice?
So my childrens father who I am living with, told me when we met that he has a strong bond with god, just flat out lied. And with years passed it has come to the point that he hates the fact that i am religious. He mocks me constantly, and makes fun of god, and laughs at me when he sees me studying the bible. He has now admitted after 8 years that he doesnt even believe god exists. I pray for his soul anyway. How i handle it is that i try to ignore but saddens me because our children hear his comments. And i thought them well and also they study in school about religion. But they get xonfused when their own father talks like that. He is also a very mean personality. So my question is..would you just ignore or some other way to go about it?

I would like to respond to your question in more depth but for now I would say this: (1) Keep reading your bible and keep praying. (2) Meditate on Psalm 139 a lot. (3) Pray the Lord's Prayer daily, especially focusing on "deliver us from evil"...deliver you and your children and their father from evil. Your Faith needs to be strengthened. Faith = Belief in God [Jesus] and Trust in Him.

Kajsa from what you've said you are experiencing verbal abuse from this man who is not your husband but who you have been living with and have two children together over the last nine years. Ali's advice is good but you may be in a situation where you are unable to leave. If you can afford to leave you should but if not, then you should pray earnestly for God to change his heart and behaviour. Talk to him about how his attitude and verbal abuse is affecting you, if you think he would be open to it, but from you've said he's probably not. You need divine intervention. Here is a simple Prayer besides the Lord's Prayer I mentioned in my first post. LORD JESUS CHRIST, HEAVENLY FATHER AND MY GOD, HAVE MERCY UPON ME A SINNER AND BE GRACIOUS TO ME [US] ACCORDING TO YOUR GREAT LOVINGKINDNESS. PLEASE DELIVER US FROM THE VERBAL ABUSE, FROM THE EVIL WE ARE LIVING IN. I PLEAD YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD OVER OUR HOME AND OUR CHILDREN. FILL THIS PLACE WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND PROTECT US FROM ANY FURTHER HARM THAT COULD POSSIBLY COME OUR WAY. MAKE YOUR PRESENCE AND YOUR POWER FELT IN THIS HOME BY ME AND OUR CHILDREN AND ESPECIALLY BY THIS MAN WHO IS BLASPHEMING GOD AND VERBALLY ABUSING US. And we also will be praying for you and your whole family. The Lord reigns.

Israel controlling Government: Was it always gonna be this way?
Hey All, I was reading Matthew 27 today seeking an answer to a question I had when it hit me (you’ll have to read it to see what I mean): Jesus was crucified under Roman law, but only because he didn’t truly judge for himself and do what he thought was right! Pilar had found Jesus innocent, “he knew that it was because of envy that they had handed Him over to him”. And then Pilat wrestled with trying to set Him free. But ultimately, even though Pilat KNEW the just and right thing to do - he let them use him for injustice, to kill not only an innocent Man but God in flesh, and ultimately did it to placate them because they were foaming into a riot. This hit me hard. I’ve never thought about it like that. I was always focused on the Roman soldiers beating Him, mocking Him, and ultimately crucifying them. And/or maybe it’s because we are living through a time when we see that our own president and government is beholden to of Israel. Anyways, I’m pondering this and wondering the significance. Any thoughts?

Good Observation Samantha. The worldly system in which we all live is very corrupted as a whole and evil manifests itself in many forms. Moses, Jesus, Peter and Paul all said that we live in a world that is perverse and corrupt. Only a Spirit-filled Church [Christians] that bears witness to a crucified--resurrected Jesus can change and have changed the world over the last 2000 years for the better delivering people out of the darkness of this world and into the light of God's kingdom. Pilate was a slave to the Roman System which he had to conform to in order to stay in his position of power even while he recognized the innocence of Jesus and cruel intentions of the jealous Jewish religious rulers who wanted Jesus dead. Jesus was too much of a threat to them. It's no different today. People in power will say and do anything to keep their power--steal, lie, and kill. It is very much a devilish thing to do. Throughout the western world over the last five years, the Covid era, we have seen it play out miserably to the detriment of civil society. Here in Canada our Liberal government, under Trudeau and now Carney, are beholden to the Globalists and the Globalist agenda which is bent on destroying Canada's nationhood status with all its precious mineral resources and make it into a vassal state of the Globalist system which I believe will become some kind of world governing system. It's their stated goal. Both Violent Zionism and Militant Islam as well as Radical Secularism and Neo-Paganism are all means to the one end of keeping God's Kingdom from advancing on this earth but Jesus said that the gates of hell cannot stop the true Church from advancing and from making true disciples of all nations. Have you noticed HOW MANY people are PUBLICLY talking about Jesus now and TURNING to Jesus and even EMBRACING Him as their Saviour and Lord. Well known people are not ashamed of the Gospel now, nor should the Church be ashamed of it. We all need to remember one thing: THE LORD REIGNS! Psalm 93.

Musings
So I journal almost daily and teach a weekly bible study here in Alberta Canada. Writing is cathartic and critical thinking is absolutely essential. Western Countries are disintegrating in real time and our society has become very pagan, not just secular. We are morally bankrupt — and socially apathetic — and economically delusional — and politically corrupt. It is so pervasive. - Convenience—Christians have to consciously resist its alluring nature when it negatively impacts our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual flourishing. Convenience and Compromise are deadly to the Christian Soul. What do we gain in the end if we gain the whole world—if we enjoy all the conveniences and comforts of this life because we’ve compromised deeply held convictions and practices as God’s image bearers [human beings] and, by doing so, we lose our own soul—we forfeit eternal life, God’s kingdom? What do we really gain from living a life of convenience and compromise?! - I like what Jim Elliott, a former missionary, once said: "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." We need to give up what is worthless to gain what is priceless. Our Churches over that past fifty years have been emasculated and overly feminized—through various means: its worship songs, its pulpit teaching and preaching and its overall ethos. They are failing the Biblical Mandate—they are distorting the Gospel Message—they are ignoring Christ’s Great Commission to make healthy disciples of all nations. Instead, they are producing Christians who are shallow and petrified—and many are simply not even true followers of Christ. They are unbelievers who think they are believers. It’s a very sad state of affairs. So I close with the apostle Peter's insight: "The end of all things is near--therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins." [1 Peter 4:7-8]
