God is not a sugar daddy

Every thing I have, every lesson I've learned, along with the ability to learn, has come from my Creator.

I cannot claim credit for a blessed thing, only the trouble my freewill has lead to is mine.

Trouble which God then got me out of, all the while using it to teach me the truth of His Laws that this world runs on and the Love that only can come from the Holy Trinity.

He is the Source.

Funny, but since getting off the hate wagon and actually listening to Osteen's sermons, I hear him confirm what I am doing my best to tell you.

Obviously, YMMV.

I do believe that Satan will trip him up if he takes his eyes off the Father and looks to the left or to the right instead. Then, we would see a Jim and Tammy Faye/PTL style downfall.

I pray that doesn't happen. What are you praying for?

Revelation 3:14-22 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
