Can Christians Eat Blood?

Image
There are many people who like to eat meat that has been cooked rare. There are some people in this world who use blood as a filling in Sauage meat. Is this permittable according to the Bible?   Genesis 9:3-6  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.  But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.  Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Leviticus 17:12-16  Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl th

Baked Lemon Pepper Fish

  Ingredients: fish fillets of your choice lemon pepper seasoning Preheat oven to 400 degrees  Put fish onto pan. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with the lemon pepper seasoning. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until it flakes easy with a fork. 

Once Saved Always Saved?

Image
 Is it true that once you are saved that you are always saved? Let's see what the Bible really says.  Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. It seems from these verses that the person thought that he or she was saved. It is possible that they had an emotional experience that was mistaken for salvation. The words "I never knew you" means that there was not relationship developed with Jesus. In order to be truly saved, you must have relationship with Jesus.   Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to co

Homemade gravy

Image
My Aunt gave me my grandmothers old cookbooks. 1 of the cookbooks is Quick Dishes for the woman in a hurry. In the cookbook it is called medium white sauce. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine (shortening works fine too) 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon of salt few grains pepper (I like a lot of black pepper in mine) 1 cup of milk (water is a great substitute that I normally use)  Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Heat until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat and add milk (water) gradually. Cook rapidly, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. (If it because too thick, add a little bit more water) Use for gravies and creamed mixtures.

  My Aunt gave me my grandmothers old cookbooks. 1 of the cookbooks is Quick Dishes for the woman in a hurry.  This recipe is from that book.  Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup pickle relish 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley or 2 teaspoons of dried parsley 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon horseradish 2 drops of hot sauce (optional) Mix all ingredients together.  Put into refrigerator to chill and allow flavors to blend for about 5 minutes.  This makes about 1 cup of sauce.

Fruit of the Spirit

Image
 T he fruit of the spirit is not talking about actual fruit. It is talking about our actions and behavior.  Galatians 5:22-23   King James Version  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Love: We are to show love to everyone including our enemies.  Matthew 5:43-48  -  Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?  Be ye the

Wash Your Hands

Image
  Is hand washing important? There are around 100 scriptures on washing. Many of those scriptures mention washing hands. Here are some scriptures that deal with hand washing:    James 4:8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Exodus 30:17-21   And the  Lord  spake unto Moses, saying,   Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.   For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:   When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the  Lord :  So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their gene

People are People

Image
  My daddy was a long-haul truck driver. He traveled all over the continental states, a little into Mexico, and a little into Canada. This was mostly during the 1990's and early 2000's. He was born in the 1940's.  As a child, I asked him what the people in other places were like. I lived in a small town.  I still remember his answer. People are people. Some are good. Some are bad. It doesn't matter where you go, you will find people that are nice and people that are mean. Skin color doesn't matter either. People are people. 

The Boat Ride

Image
  Many years ago, it rained for about 1 month. My grandfather (Marcus) was just a boy. He was the youngest of his siblings. He lived in a 2-room house with his parents (Berry and Pearlie Mae) and his 3 sisters. Yes, I said 2-room house. There was a kitchen and a living room. They cooked and ate in the kitchen. They lived and slept in the living room. The bathroom was in the outhouse behind the house.  During this month of rain, they all went stir crazy. The only excitement was counting the chickens through the floorboards. They didn't own a television.  On the day that the sun finally came out, Berry suggested that they go on a boat ride. Pearlie Mae agreed. She fixed a picnic Lunch. They all quickly got ready. Now they didn't own a vehicle, so they got the small boat and the picnic basket and started to the flooded Pearl River.  They put the boat into the river. They put the basket into the boat. Pearlie Mae gets into the boat. The 4 children get into the boat. Lastly Berry ge

Friday Night Church Service

Image
  My great-grandmother was a youth leader and a Sunday School teacher for many years. She finally had to stop teaching because of age related health problems. A few years before she passed away, the church was talking about not having church services on Friday night anymore. They thought that having church services on Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night would be enough.  My great-grandmother did not agree. She said that if you quit having church on Friday nights you might as well close down the church because the youth needed something to do on Friday nights other than get into trouble. If the youth didn't come to church on Friday night, they would eventually stop coming to church. She was very vocal about this. Everyone knew her position and thoughts on the matter.  The church still voted to stop having Friday night youth services. This was in the early 2000's. Has anyone noticed the current state of the churches here in the United States? Here is a link to an ar

Locked Church

Image
  My great-grandparents helped to clear the land for the brush arbor that then grew into a church. As the church grew, they helped to build the church building. They were very active in the church. My great-grandmother was a youth leader and a Sunday school teacher. My great-grandfather was an ordained minister and a deacon of the church. They put many things in the church such as a fellowship hall with kitchen, a nursey, the pews, and classrooms. The one thing that no one had ever installed was a lock. The people of this church believed that the church should always be open. This was for several reasons.  What if someone was caught in a rainstorm? They could use an unlocked church for shelter. What if someone needed to pray? According to Jesus, the church is a house of prayer.  What if someone was passing through and needed a place to rest?  What if the women wanted a place to meet? What if the men wanted a place to meet? They had the church unlocked for all of these reasons and possi

Short Prayer

Image
  I had just turned 16 years old. My mom and I were on 16th avenue in Laurel, MS. We were in a 1977 Ford Maverick that we had recently bought for $100. It barely worked. You had to use both feet to drive even though it was an automatic. The car would die at the red lights if you didn't keep gas going to it. So, you held the brake while tapping to gas at red lights. This was the best car we could afford at this time.  We were stopped at a red light when an 18-wheeler was making a right turn. We could see that it was turning too sharp. There was a car beside us and a car behind us. There was nowhere for us to go. We screamed, " God help us" Our car turned sideways and the car beside us slide over. We heard the screeching of car wheels.  It took two light changes with us figuring out how to turn the car back straight. Not one car honked at us. Everyone waited patiently for us to move. Later we heard people talking about this event. It turns out that they were in too much sho

Peanut Butter Cookies

Image
  When I was a little girl, we didn't have much money. We certainly didn't have money for extras like cookies, but children like cookies. I was no exception. Thankfully, we go WIC. WIC, for those that may not know, stands for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC gives food to poor women who have infants and young children. One of the food items every month was a very large can of peanut butter. My mom came up with a recipe for peanut butter cookies. It was so easy. It only needed 3 ingredients. I loved those cookies. I still use the recipe with my children today. My daughter really likes them because of how simple it is.  Ingredients: 1 Cup peanut butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg Directions: Mix all ingredients together. Roll into small balls and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet Press down with a fork Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit Bake for about 7 minutes Let cool before removing from cookie sheet
