Do not judge

Here is a verse to live by.  From the King James version of the Bible.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye. - Matthew 7:1-5

Just think if we all followed the Verse that states, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."  If we applied that to life there would be no wars because none of us are without sin.  If we take care of our own house properly, being judged would not be an issue.

How Much Sex is Normal?

I was asked during a conversation with friends. How much sex is normal in a marriage? I read this article online and at the end of the article was the following posted statement. Please read the article either by yourself or with your spouse and form your own opinions.  I think this makes perfect sense. Take the time to read the comments they will help. You may or may not even find how you feel in those comments. I am not saying their answers are the perfect ones but they make you think. 

We, at Marriage Missions, don’t feel that God would have us “pay the price” of sacrificing our marriages because we’re too “busy” to have sex. Scripturally we feel that God wants us to work with each other, as long as it doesn’t go against scriptural grounds, to accommodate each other’s sexual needs.
The scriptural basis we see for this can be found in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 where it says,
“The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone, but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
