I don't use the term "sons" in a gender sense but merely quoting the term used so often in Scripture. In many of these blogs I point out that it's not a gender term as I certainly don't want to do anything to leave the women out of the equation. That would be a big mistake. I often tell my wife, that women are included in the term "sons of God" and men are included as the "Bride of Christ". No worries my dear sister. Women are not left out in my book! I would not be where I am today without the woman in my life... my wife. Blessings, Michael Dear Rachel;

Should it not be "Sons and Daughters in the Marketplace"? Please don't forget us! Thanks.

“the path of straight words, straight thinking, godly desires and dispositions”

I have started reading Augustine confessions and to quote from him.
From Augustine quoting Roman 13:14
“Make no provision for the flesh to gratify it’s desires”

What are the desires of the flesh? Well, for me they are, slothfulness, lazy, deceitful, not telling the whole truth, not being diligent, thinking I work for man instead as unto the Lord, (Col. 3:23),

Now if we do all these things, we may still not be successful in the eyes of the world, but we will have joy in God which should be our purpose while we are here on earth.
