JesusRx Prescription for Life

They say there is no book on how to raise children. I agree somewhat, but there is a prescription from the Great Physician to take in that will help avoid many of what I will label "childhood diseases brought on by sin". The disease of entitlement, the disease of selfishness, the diseases of disrespect, the disease of pride, the disease of laziness. I think you get the picture. And unfortunately, you may have come into contact with...

The question is, why are there so many divorces in the body of Christ? It's totally understandable why there are many divorces in relationships th...

In episode 64, titled "Husbands have been blaming wives since the beginning of time," Eva wanted to be fair and show, in this episode, how wives blame husbands, too. 

Blame is in our blood, and it's often easier to blame the people closest to us when things go wrong. This episode reminds married couples that they are responsible for their actions first, and how to avoid some of the dumb things we may say or do when we try to t...

Marriage is wonderful. Marriage is not always easy. If you are married, have you ever blamed your spouse for something, and then in return, they blamed you for something? Now the fight is on. 

In this episode, we see a husband blaming his wife for something he willingly did, but she doesn't blame him. It's easy to play the blame game when we are guilty of something.  Thank God He knows when we mess up. 

Don't be fool...

We are addicted to sweets and starchy foods. The minute we get up we feed our bo...

How wonderful to do as Paul is asking for people to do. Those belonging to God, to lift up holy hands in prayer without anger or disputing. How can we have holy hands if we are angry with one another who are on the same team? It leads to destruction.

In the episode I discuss the importance of letting anger go before it takes root in your life. Wise words are given and we are told to be "slow to anger", and how God is patient. 

This prescription goes well with the prescription for love. When releasing your anger and giving it to God, you will be able to rejoice. You can rejoice "in the morning" when you rid anger in your heart and mind before going to sleep each night. ...

You can crucify Anger. How? Listen to hear what the sinful nature is. Yes it includes anger. A prayer is included to help overcome anger. 

Why should we be quick to listen and slow to anger? Is revenge ever necessary? There's a short story I tell about someone who took justice in his own hands.  Was it right? Most of us would say it is okay what he did. What do you think?
