Sometimes we can get carried away with our personal relationship with Christ. We start talking to everyone about our beliefs. We expect them to nod and say, "Amen." But the truth is, we could be setting ourselves up for a lot of trouble if we aren't acting wisely especially if you work with unbelievers. Even Jesus knew there was a time and place for everything. He didn't heal just any and everyone. He didn't proclaim to everyone who he was. He didn't stay in places where trouble was on his way to get him. Everything he did was systematic.
Trust in God to give you a system, a plan that will bring people to Christ not run them away! Read the following and be encouraged on Bukisa.com. The article is titled:
Overzealous Christians: When Giving The Gift of God’s Word Goes Wrong
This blog is for those readers who enjoy inspirational poems and other creative fictional writings that glorify God, challenge one to reflect on his or her walk with God, expose errors in religion, and encourage those who feel like God just isn't listening sometimes. Enjoy spiritual poems by Nicholl.

Food for the Believer
Sometimes there are those times when you see deception right before your eyes as a Christian. You wonder did anyone else see what you saw.
I put together a hub that shows how sneaky some people who claim to be messengers of God can be and how if you aren't too careful, you will get sucked into serving a god that resembles the one true God but really isn't.

Exposing the Corrupt Music Industry
I came across this interesting believer online. His name is Lennon Honor. This father, director, musician, radio talk show host, and more has created some very popular documentaries exposing some of the dark symbolism in the music industry. Check out his videos on YouTube or his website.

They Left Me Alone
No one knows me.
Everything about me is unusual, different, crazy, and strange.
For they don't know my Father, nor do they know his Son.
I am one with My Father.
I was created from a rib, his daughter,
yet they don't know.
Mindful of demons
Mindless of their Saviour.
He never died. He still survives
within.
And they don't know how to receive.
They live of this world.
How did I get here,
in love with an unseen God?
To know myself, to think for myself.
He used them for a season.
A little salt and then their flavour was lost.
I outgrew those who laid hands on me.
I outgrew those who raised me.
I outgrew those who I laughed and played with.
Sometimes it is hard.
The tears fall and I hurt inside.
They were an illusion--those folks from the past.
They preached and pleaded for me to walk this walk.
So now I am, but where are they?
Look at me, I am a daughter!
They look away.
They rather call me crazy, a babe.
He's with me when no one else is...
He's with me.

Are You Really Praying to the One True God or a god?
Have you ever heard of the sun god Amun-Ra? Interesting that for centuries Christians attend church on a "Sun"day and many don't have a clue as to who Amun-Ra is. Even more interesting, the name is close to Amen (used when closing our prayers.) Hmm. A website reports that sometimes this god Amun-Ra is referred to as Amen--what!? We can't have anything without the devil putting his two cents worth!
What if the prayers we pray aren't going to the right God? What if something was intercepting those prayers? No wonder so many prayers don't get answered--just might be praying to the wrong god. Something to think about. Consider doing two things: spending time in God's word and praying in Jesus name if you are a new believer.

This provides a clear understanding of the prayer of Jesus:
