And occasionally we see an former classmate of ours and they are always shocked that we are still married, which gives us a wonderful opportunity to share what the Lord has done in our lives. You're so right - our marriage is a testimony. :)<br />Hope your week-end is wonderful! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273301456471935137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222799066018019807.post-54044879151801928652012-06-07T16:41:22.856-07:002012-06-07T16:41:22.856-07:00Always a good reminder.

I was going to read that book but then I read somewhere else that it was a twilight triple X kind of book and frankly, I didn't even care for twilight. I just read them because I wanted to know what my teenage daughter was interested in. Really good word here because we can never be too careful with the images we put in our minds. It's that whole garbage in garbage out. At the same time I know what your friend is saying in that we can't be too far removed and not know what is going on in the world. But there are extremes on both sides of that. The key is listening to the Holy Spirit and choosing what you hear Him speaking. <br /><br />Ok girl sorry for the long post... sheesh!No(dot dot)elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578214325474193322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222799066018019807.post-45825013647309577342012-05-25T12:33:13.083-07:002012-05-25T12:33:13.083-07:00How timely...just today a British lady told me tha...How timely...just today a British lady told me that she'd downloaded this book to her Kindle only to be shocked by the content.<br /><br />We really need to evaluate things in light of Christ, not our culture, and I'm often guilty of compromising with TV.<br /><br />I've really been convicted in several areas this week. ouch!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing on B&BB and I pray a blessed week on you and your family.<br /><br />I hope this isn't my second comment.

She said she'd just downloaded it to her Kindle because a friend had recommended it, and she was shocked at the content. And I got the impression from our discussion that this couple were not Christian. But after she described it, I said, "Oh, I know I wouldn't be interested in it then."<br />Never heard the title until today...then read your post. <br />As Christians we must always struggle well to be in the world but not of it.<br />I commend you for talking with your friend about it even if she was unmoved.<br />Thanks for linking up to B&BB and have a very blessed week!Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222799066018019807.post-67347161484512866562012-05-24T17:59:13.137-07:002012-05-24T17:59:13.137-07:00Such a great post, I am going to recommend this to...Such a great post, I am going to recommend this to a friend.No(dot dot)elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578214325474193322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222799066018019807.post-44155663666275939632012-05-23T15:31:53.362-07:002012-05-23T15:31:53.362-07:00Simple but profound truths you shared here Amanda....Simple but profound truths you shared here Amanda.

It reminds me of the Scripture in Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." It makes me want to fight against the enemy WITH my husband and God.
