From the Berean:


Jeremiah 5:7-8
(7) How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. (8) They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.






Prophet after prophet makes similar statements. Israel has trouble being faithful to anything: God, mate, country, employer, and contracts! Our national mind runs like quicksilver from here to there—always running to get the best for the self, willing to bend in any direction to gain advantage and have our pleasure. We work very hard at this. At times, it almost seems to be in our genes!

Nationally syndicated columnists Sydney J. Harris writes on the subject of reliability:

Most virtues exist on a sliding scale, all the way from excellence to ineptitude, and most of us are tolerably somewhere in the middle, without too much damage to ourselves or others. But there is one virtue that is all or nothing: and that is reliability. You are either reliable or you are not; and, if not, it doesn't much matter how nearly or how often you are reliable.

If I were an employer of any sort, I would be willing to put up with many kinds of personal or professional deficiencies, but never with this. A person who is not dependable is bound to fail you (and himself as well) at precisely the wrong time.

It reminds me of the debonair Viennese gentlemen who, when asked, "Have you been faithful to your wife?" replied, "Frequently." It is plain that a man who is frequently faithful is not faithful at all; he might as well never be.

Reliability is one of the hardest character traits to identify by testing or "screening" or anything except personal acquaintance.

Some people are "rocks" by nature or training, while others are papier-maché painted to resemble rocks, who crumble when sudden pressure is applied by circumstances.

If you are married to someone who cannot be depended upon to pull his or her own weight, it hardly matters what other admirable traits your mate may possess, because you can never know when or where you will be let down.

It is the same as being married to an alcoholic, who is only "there" part of the time—and usually not when most needed.

Consistency is what is required in the people we associate with: the confident knowledge of what we can rightfully expect of them, barring sudden illness or catastrophe beyond anyone's control. Otherwise there is no real relationship, but only a shifting accommodation to the winds of caprice and self-indulgence.

It is easy to feel affection for another; what is harder is to translate this feeling into acts, daily acts, that demonstrate steadfastness of purpose in a domestic routine that may not be as dramatic as some heroic rescue, but that keeps the craft afloat no matter which way the wind happens to blow.

The deepest and most important virtues are often the dullest ones; they win no medals, and get no glory; but they are the glue that binds society together and makes it work, now and always.

Husband's Sanctified Stories, Men





The Conversion of the 'Well's' Infidel Husband :


During 1970-1980's, the neighborhood all heard the braking of glass,
busting down of the doors, domestic violence of Mr. Well's . . .

The southern idea of a Pentecostal family with a husband and father that
was both a drunk and a infidel, married to a God-fearing wife, was for her to continue the alter call prayers until he got his act together.

The back yard of the home, was a dual body mechanic shop, used
car sales operation, run in a residential neighborhood.

The empty beer cans were heaped in piles for all the property visitor's
to see, without straining a neck bone.


Year's went by . . . one day the testimony changed . . .

That Church service, was different.

In the door, came Mr. Well's with his faithful wife.

The pews were open to receive a converted man.



Here is the testimony of the wife :

. . . As he beat me in the yard, I fell on the ground, the angel of the
Lord appeared and said, ' Wife, see that rock at your finger tips, I give
you permission to strike him. When you do, understand the strike will
kill him instantly. You are not responsible. '

. . . At that moment, the husband beating his wife, saw the angel and
fell out on the ground, in fear . . .



Here is the testimony of the infidel husband :

I looked up from the force of the angel knocking me to the ground, I
was trembling and cold sober in an instant.

I understood, if I did not subject myself, I was a dead man.

. . . Mr. Well's forced his car mechanics to shovel and bury all the
empty beer cans, now in a mountain stack, to figure out how to
dispose of the cans.

. . . The busted door frames, were repaired by carpenter's. Window
glass replaced. The forbidding of foul language sign was posted
at the shop.

. . . The three children now teenager's, had survived the nightmare.

The faithful Pentecostal mother and wife, understood that being
slain in the spirit, took on a new meaning for her newly converted
husband.

The wife told the Church, that her finger tips were so close to the
rock, and the minute of flashing option to strike with the rock, was
the minute a powerful force knocked her husband to the ground.
She said, 'How close I came, to taking the angel's offer, for all the
beatings and hell I had suffered' !


The End !

and then the story of a woman who loved God and loved a man that she believed loved
God...

she discovered a swindle of her church by the man she was betrothed to marry, and
during a phone call to the pastor that same man grabbed her by the neck and lifted
her and threw her to the ground. picking herself up she swung and he caught her
hand, swung her around and once again grabbed her by the neck, lifting her off
her feet and nearly threw her down a stairwell.

she had not really noticed and had pardoned the man's accelerating violence and
screaming...chasing her around the house, making her get out of the car and walk,
intimidating her and leaving her alone on special occassions at the church when all
were expecting them...

she didn't think that the bruises on her arms or legs where he had grabbed her
a little too hard or pinched her to control her were noticeable...

but the bruises around her neck were photographed by the police who gave her
some sound advice..."the honeymoon is over." the church learned of it and said,
"don't give up on him, God didn't give up on you."

so, she put a restraining order on him and he did spend a night or so in jail, then
she prayed that no other woman would go through what she had gone through.
after the charm was gone there was nothing but an infidel. and so she prayed
for his salvation, but never did she allow him to come near her again. amen.

Dearest Signet:

I think this should be preserved and shared under this section : INFIDEL

Sister :

I saw the word : FAULT


AND I AM SHARING WHAT I FOUND WITH THE WORD : FAULT


EXCERPT:

http://www.abcog.org/prayer6.htm

Again, it may be thought that the difference of meaning between "sins" and "debts" is not important. The Greek word rendered "sins" [hamartia] means literally "a missing of the mark," so that "going astray" or "trespass" represents it accurately. The word rendered "debt" means, when not used figuratively, a literal "money-debt," and has been found in this sense in various papyri. It is true, of course, that all "sin" is, in some degree, a failure to pay our just debts to God - our debt of obedience, our debt of gratitude. Yet I incline to think that there is a distinction, and that when Jesus bade us pray "forgive us our debts", His choice of this word shows Him to have meant particularly what are termed "faults of omission." These, in the strict sense, are debts to God which we have failed to pay.


Therefore, if we retain the familiar form of words and say "Forgive us our trespasses" when we repeat the Paternoster, we shall not use the sentence rightly unless we remember its true meaning, given in the Bible version of the Prayer, "forgive us our debts" - remission of debts left unpaid, forgiveness for missed opportunities, for kind words and deeds unsaid and undone. "Forgive us our debts!"

About a year ago when I lost my job...I had been billed for a previous job stating I
owed them $14k for the time I was working for one of their projects. This would mean
that I paid to work for them.

I wrote a letter asking for copies of all the contract information and sent them the
names of people that I had "sold" to...and they owed me money in commission. So,
rather than pay the commission...they bullied me with the "debt" notification.

I prayed and delayed after making a verbal case to them and writing a letter.

I received a letter back saying "your debt has been forgiven". All of that to say
that I realized then that God was speaking to me...my "debt" had been forgiven
and at the cross I lay it down...I was so incredibly touched by this revelation I was
speechless. And now, you have brought it to remembrance. It was just about
now when I got that first letter...and late in January is when it was dropped.

In the mean time they filed taxes in the wrong year, but I followed through and
filed and paid in the correct year...so in the end that company, known for this
kind of intimidation, will have the penalty through the law and IRS.

Shalom
