How and what you teach your child about Santa Claus is up to you. I just know how God has bless me and kept me and what he did for me. In this tying year, I have lost love ones, been in situations with family members that the average man would have lost their minds. God has blessed me out of situations that I did not see a way out of, and He made that way out of no way. I have seen God bless people with jobs, protected them from layoffs, and healed and brought people through sickness and illnesses and the list can go on and on.
When are we going to wake up and give Jesus Christ is just do? You shall have no other God before me. Jesus Christ is God alone. Time for Preachers and Christians to stop sugar coating the word of God. I try to go by Bible and Bible only. I try to back up everything with Bible. We all make mistakes, but we must grow and get strengthen from our mistakes and not return to them like a dog returns to its vomit.
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
A disgusting trait of dogs is to eat their vomit. When their belly must reject offending matter, they return and eat it again. It is a shame we do not have the same sickening horror for sin that we do for this picture of a dog vomiting his filth and eating it.
Peter declared this to be a true proverb (II Pet 2:20-22). He used it to condemn those who forsake their conversion and return to the vomit of this world. To escape the pollutions of this world and then return to be entangled and overcome in them again puts a man in a worse condition than before conversion.
A bad heart attack will get a man’s attention. A couple days after bypass surgery, he wants the intimate details of super nutrition and the best exercise program. He makes resolutions, plans his schedule, and orders a year’s worth of pita bread and lettuce and two treadmills. But after three months of no angina, he is again a couch potato inhaling pounds of cheese nachos and candy! Did he forget the crushing pain of his heart attack? Or does he crave the poison that almost killed him? Or both?
Consider a drunkard (23:29-35). He has woe, sorrow, contentions, babbling, and wounds from his binges. He loses his job, his driving license, his wife, his children, and his reputation. He gets sick and feels as if he spent the night lying on the top of a ship’s mast! Yet he says, “When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.” Fool! Dog!
What filth have we vomited up and cast away by the grace of God and the conviction of His Spirit? What folly have we rejected? We will be tempted to return to it. Which vomit tempts us? Complaining? Pornography? Ungodly music? Drunkenness? Lustful fantasies? Gluttony? Television? Bitterness? Fornication? Disobedience to parents? Marital defrauding? An unscriptural church? Lack of submission? Backbiting?
There can be no partial turning from sin. It never works! It never will work! You can still smell the vomit, and you will turn to it again. We must flee from our temptations and sins with all our might and speed! We must eliminate the sources of the temptation! We must completely satisfy your appetite with spiritual things, so we have no hunger for vomit. There are no shortcuts. If we hang around the filth, you will take it up again.
