Preparation for Marriage Is an Essential Part of Education-Upon no account should the marriage relation be entered upon until the parties have a knowledge of the duties of a practical domestic life. The wife should have culture of mind and manners that she may be qualified to rightly train the children that may be given her.1Pacific Health Journal, May, 1890. – {AH 87.1} Many ladies, accounted well-educated, having graduated with honors at some institution of learning, are shamefully ignorant of the practical duties of life. They are destitute of the qualifications necessary for the proper regulation of family, and hence essential to its happiness. They may talk of woman’s elevated sphere and of her rights, yet they themselves fall far below the true sphere of woman. – {AH 87.2} It is the right of every daughter of Eve to have a thorough knowledge of household duties, to receive training in every department of domestic labor. Every young lady should be so educated that if called to fill the position of wife and mother, she may preside as a queen in her own domain. She should be fully competent to guide and instruct her children and to direct her servants, or, if need be, to minister with her own hands to the wants of her household. It is her right to understand the mechanism of the human body and the principles of hygiene, the matters of diet and dress, labor and recreation, and countless others that intimately concern the well-being of her household. It is her right to obtain such a knowledge of the best methods of treating disease that she can care for her children in sickness, instead of leaving her precious treasures in the hands of stranger nurses and physicians. – {AH 87.3} The idea that ignorance of useful employment is an essential characteristic of the true gentleman or lady is contrary to the design of God in the creation of man. Idleness is a sin, and ignorance of common duties is the result of folly, which afterlife will give ample occasion to bitterly regret.2Fundamentals of Christian Education, 75. – {AH 88.1} Young women think that it is menial to cook and do other kinds of housework; and, for this reason, many girls who marry and have the care of families have little idea of the duties devolving upon a wife and mother.3The Ministry of Healing, 302. – {AH 88.2} It should be a law that young people should not get married unless they know how to care for the children that are brought into their family. They must know how to take care of this house that God has given them. Unless they understand in regard to...

Romans 12 (NKJV) New King James Version  Living Sacrifices to God. (V.1-2) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what isthat good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Serve God with Spiritual Gifts. (V. 3-8 ) For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.  For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,  so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;  or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Behave Like a Christian. (V. 9-21) Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.  Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;  not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;  rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;  distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.  Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.  Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.  Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.  If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.  Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord,”[a]a(Romans 12:19 Deuteronomy 32:35  “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”[b] b(Romans 12:20  Proverbs 25:21, 22 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

        Our Lord is Bigger than our mistakes and Greater than our failures. We succeed in life not because of those who cooperate with us, but because of our ability to rise above those who oppose us. Thoughts are powerful forces that can affect our health, our attitudes and our relationships with others and with God. Therefore we must live out His words in our life, daily. (Philippians 2:5). says ”Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Let God fight your battles for you. He never loose any yet. So turn them over to Jesus and He will fix them for you. “ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” (Philippians 4;6 KJV) It takes only a moment to be kind but it will lasts a lifetime. Even though it may not be reciprocated we should still be kind. We should show kindness to the weak.  (Galatians 5:22-23  KJV) says “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” JESUS is my Savior, Lord & King.!

We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. – {CCh 37.1} The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. – {CCh 37.2} The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails. The enemy has succeeded in perverting justice and in filling men’s hearts with the desire for selfish gain. “Justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14. In the great cities there are multitudes living in poverty and wretchedness, well-nigh destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; while in the same cities are those who have more than heart could wish, who live luxuriously, spending their money on richly furnished houses, on personal adornment, or worse still, upon the gratification of sensual appetites, upon liquor, tobacco, and other things that destroy the powers of the brain, unbalance the mind, and debase the soul. The cries of starving humanity are coming up before God, while by every species of oppression and extortion men are piling up colossal fortunes. – {CCh 37.3} Excerpt from Counsels for the Church Ellen G.

                   Is Jesus in your life? Does He have full control? At one point I asked the same question, where at one point I said Jesus was in the front passenger seat of my car and life. Me and Jesus on the road of life. Then I looked in again and saw He moved into the back seat behind me to make room for my friends SIN. Now then as I looked my 5 passenger car began to get full. First came in FORNICATION sat in that front passenger seat then MASTURBATION sat behind next to that came DRUGS my TEMPER and STRESS quickly jumped in. It was at that point I realized that I was in the trunk and all of my friends Sin, were driving the car. Then I looked around and said well at least it’s me and Jesus in the trunk, but as I looked closer He was not even there. They left me a note in the back wall of the trunk that said to make room for you prisoner/passenger we left everything in the trunk in the garage at home don’t worry it’s all safely stored. At this point I was te…rrified as I felt the car aspiring and spinning out of control. JESUS help me please. After the car crashed they left me in the trunk to die and Lo behold Jesus came with the key to get me out! Praise God. He took me out and cleaned me up, fixed the car so new that it looked totally different Jesus then picked me up and placed me in the front passenger and strapped me in. And said let me bring my friend in they can help so in the back seat He placed THE HOLY SPIRIT. He then said that He would drive as I recovered and He would never leave as my personal driver and would always be there if I made the CHOICE. THE HOLY SPIRIT in the back shared words of COMFORT and ENCOURAGEMENT. Now my car was peaceful and the SINS which cause me to crash were long left behind never to be let back in via the new alarm system the BIBLE and the remote control of PRAYER could activate from anywhere at any time. Don’t become prisoner or passenger to SIN kick it out get rid of it. Jesus Loves you and died for us all to have Victory.   I told my SIN In the name of Jesus, I rebuke you! Christ has given me victory over you & as of RIGHT NOW, the friendship between us two is OVER! AMEN Victory over SIN by the Blood of...
