Parker Inspirations

I know I shouldn’t be amazed at how people perceive things, because we all think differently. Have you ever seen pictures that only show a piece of the object and you have to guess what it is? Every one of us would have a different view of the same picture. We do the same thing…

Why is there strife with others? Strife is caused when there is deceit in a relationship. When you remove deceit there is peace and harmony. I came upon this in something I read from a preacher who wrote a devotion on removing deceit. His key verse was Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast…

My thoughts today are about my Sunday school lesson on Self Control. The fruit of the Spirit is Temperance. (Galatians 5:22-24 “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections…
