Hello again, dear bloggers. Today we will talk about "Marriage". What is marriage?
According to the encyclopedia is the union of two people by
certain rites or legal formalities and is recognized by
and family law.
Many people marry today, increasingly they are younger and inexperienced in life. This is one of many reasons why divorce is given. Many say divorce for the simple reason that "there is no love," or no longer feel full or happy with their marriage.
What does God say? In Matthew 5:32 we find:
"But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
What does this mean?
When one separates either for different reasons, and marries another, she is committing adultery. "Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). What God has joined no man put asunder (Matthew 19: 6)
To better understand this issue. see this example:
- Suppose you're married or married to a believer. By constant disagreements and arguments decide to separate. Then about two months, you become married. And you go to church, you ask the blessing Pastor, for your new marriage. But he did not want to give you the, confused or confused you ask why. And respondiéndote tells you: ".. By committing adultery If you want to bless you, first be clean and restore your marriage For sin shall not be blessed"
We must understand that marriage is the union of two steaks in one. You're not you and him or her. Now they are one person. You might say that your marriage does not work anymore, because there is no love maybe, or your husband is a person with vices, or abuses you, and separate you prefer. You can not do that, if you have problems, appeals to God. Pray, read the word, but do not commit adultery, do not separate.
In the Bible, we are found in 1 Corinthians 7: 10-16
"To the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord: A wife must not leave her husband (but if you leave, let her remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. But to the rest say I, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him not divorce her. And the woman whose husband is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her and not leave her husband because the husband is not a believer is sanctified through his wife. and the woman who is not a believer is sanctified through her believing husband: else were your children unclean; but now they are saints But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave;.. in such cases the brother or sister is not required, but God has called us to live in peace Well how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? "
As we have seen, we can separate, but only when it comes from someone who does not believe in God.
Leaving aside the issue of divorce, marriage no rules that God has imposed. Here are some of them:
- "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord; For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, which is His body, and He is the Savior "(Ephesians 5: 22-23).
Here it refers to the decisions of the family, taking the man. That sounds a little sexist, but I do not make the rules but God, remember that what God does is perfect, you should also have their own reasons, will probably never come to understand, "(Isaiah 55: 9)
- "So husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife, he loves himself. For no one ever he hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church "(Ephesians 5: 28-29).
Husbands, love, their wives, Hold them patience and understanding Treat them as if they were queens. Each time you feel eager to exploit or give, pray. Prayer is a spiritual weapon that has a power that can not imagine. God listens to those seeking heart. (Psalm 145: 18)
Finally, the presence and existence of God in a marriage, will bring blessing. Blessed is the home where God is present in every moment of their lives.
May God bring them peace to their weary souls and bless their homes, that their marriages prevail, and the vote of compliance "till death do us part"
And remember ... God loves them.

ello again, dear bloggers. The theme of the day is "The Bible and Hell".
Do you think there is hell? Where do we go after death? Several wonder this, and the Holy Word gives us the long-awaited answers.
Many believe that Hell does not exist, and if there was anyone would go to this terrible place because God is "so good" to send someone to Hell. And in that case, they are right. God does not send anyone to Hell. You command you alone. Unfortunately there will be no turning back, not a chance. It's over. There is no purgatory, or reincarnation. It says in Hebrews 9:27
"... It is appointed for men to die once and after this the judgment"
Normally Jesus used parables to teach people, using easy to understand and comprehend comparisons. The passage we now observe is not a parable, it's a true story.
In Luke 16, 19- 31 says:
There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day.
There was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
It happened that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died, and was buried.
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
So far, we can see that there are 2 places where you can go, Abraham's bosom and Hades. But we have something very clear, these places are temporary, until the trial comes. Another fact we can even observe, is that the rich could recognize Abraham, therefore, knew him and knew of him. But by circumstances, it gives the appearance that ignored and mocked God.
Then he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that you received your good things in your life, and likewise Lazarus evil; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Here we realize that Hell is a place of eternal fire, and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done. Those who suffered unjustly now be comforted and those who turned a deaf ear to God, they will be tormented.
Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that they which would pass from hence to you can not; neither there to us.
In this part, Abraham Lazarus explains that even though I would like to water, can not cross over to help, let alone their thirst.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that you send him to my father's house,
because I have five brothers, to testify to them, so that they also come into this place of torment.
And Abraham said: Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
And he said, No, father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Finally, we can analyze that evidence you give to anyone, unless you want to believe it will not. And we can not force anyone, we can only pray for him.
What can we do to not go to Hell?
There are 2 steps. 1st place, repent, turn away from sin and completely stop bad habits completely.
Well says John 3:16
And finally, believe. Believe there is hope, that Jesus died for you and me, and with their precious blood clears all iniquity that is in us.
God bless you, and take great pride in our hearts, let us remember that we owe everything to him, and without him we are nothing.
God loves you.

Hello again, dear bloggers. Today's topic is "Time with God." How many verses you know by heart? Have you given the opportunity to learn at least one per day? God commands us to learn and memorize his word, as we help you succeed in everything we do. (Joshua 1: 8). Most people do not take time to God, as they are engaged in other activities, but God tells us in Matthew 6:33
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added"
We seek God, and the rest will follow. You probably do not pray, or not seek God as before, because there are problems at home or at work, or in the environment where you unwrap. Many do this, most ignore that in this way only worsen the situation. We seek God, but not just on problems but on a daily basis.
A clear example is the time to wake up and go to work or school. Before you begin your daily routine, take a moment to pray and ask Jesus to guide your steps and give you strength to begin this new day. Do not forget to thank life for having more than one day, because it is a new opportunity to do things holy and pure way he wants and expects from us.
We should read the Bible every day, it is the word of life. Remember that we are like a battery of 24 hours, we need to be recharged, like a cell. Little by little, we will grow spiritually but only if each day we fill us from the love of Christ. How? Obeying his commands and statutes.
God has many time concepts. It's like spending time with your heavenly Father, do not see it as an obligation or as a punishment but as a privilege and a gift.
Time with God is talking to him, telling him all your problems and troubles, is reading his holy word, which really is a sensational hand in this world in which we walk as lost. You talk about others, about God, the wonders he has done not only in our lives but about (Psalm 9: 2). The sun, moon, stars, rainbows, waterfalls, animals, gentle breezes, all those wonderful things are the work of our heavenly father.
Well that's all for today. Remember to allow time for Jesus in our lives is paramount. The rest will follow.
May God bless you and give you strength for these difficult times.
