Parents, are you looking for a way to know your kids are safe when they are online? During this day when p*ornography and s*x are rampant all over the Internet, knowing one can surf the web in safety is a must. Not only for our well being, but for our souls as well. Internet safety is not just for kids, it is for people of all ages. Thousands of men and women struggle with p*ornography addiction across the world, in fact, this is a common sin many Christians have hid in their lives. The impact of what p*ornography can do to one is very serious and not to be taken lightly.

Do you or someone you know struggle with being online? If so, then I would highly recommend Safe Eyes, an Internet Safety Software package. I, personally, use this software on my PCs. In fact, you can install this software on three separate PCs with one license. I have it on my home PC and on two PCs in my office at my place of work. It is only $49.95 a year, which is a small price to pay in regards to a lifetime of safety online.

Some nice features of this software is that it works with mobile devices, Ethernet, and PCs. You can block web sites, videos (based on rating), music, gaming, instant messaging, social networking. There are ways to implement time controls so that the user has a specified time allotted online. Alerts and reports can be set up to be emailed to you to help monitor the Internet activity of the person surfing the web. This is a great tool for having an online accountability partner too.

Also, as an added bonus, Safe Eyes offers a money back guarantee. I have not had any issues thus far with mine and their customer service have been real friendly and helpful on answering all questions my wife has asked.

So, if you are still deciding on which Internet safety software to use, this package truly is a blessing for parents wanting to protect what their kids view online, but also, for wives or husbands wanting to protect what their spouse views. If you have a small business, Safe Eyes also offers an Ethernet so that you can protect your entire office of harmful online activities.

I hope that each person reading this will do what is necessary to protect their families and loved ones from this potentially deadly trap of p*orngraphy.

NOTE: I use the * symbol so that word will not be blocked from viewing because I have Safe Eyes installed on this PC.

Take a personal evaluation of yourself during a typical week. In order for your evaluation to correctly assess your findings, you MUST be honest about yourself. The challenge, for one week only, write down every time you complain about something. For some, they will need a 200 page notebook, others will need much less.

Let me define what constitutes a complaint. Well, simply put, any time you say something that has a negative connotation. For example, a car is driving too slow, you begin to mumble to yourself, “why is this person even allowed to drive, they are driving like a turtle” or you bite into your double cheese burger that was supposed to be only cheese only to find a big fat onion laying there, you murmer about why, “Wendy’s cannot get my order right”. I think you get the jest of a complaint. The main reason for this self evaluation is to point out your need to give thanks. Giving thanks in every thing is the will of God for you. “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

We as Christians are waiting for God to tell us to go “Preach my Word” to the inner city. My friend, why would God instruct someone to preach when they are constantly complaining about everything? Will it be difficult to stop complaining and give thanks? It sure will, but we, as Christians, are called to a higher calling. “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). Amen.

If you are reading this article and not a Christian, my friend, being born-again is the first and ONLY will of God at this moment of your life. Only after you are born-again are you to heed to the words of this article. Any other order, then you will be doing so in vain. Please visit this article, Have You Been Born-Again, for more information about why each one of use need to be born-again.

These are common statements that well intended Christians say. However, this is where a lot of Christians stay, in the praying or waiting stage. Did you know there are verses in the Bible that tells you EXACTLY what God’s will is for your life?

Yes, you heard me correctly! God clearly states things Christians are to practice without having to pray about it or wait to make sure it is His will. Over the next few articles, I would like to discuss these “will of God” statements. As we journey through this study, notice what God says in His Word about how He “leads” us; which means He guides us while we are taking action. Did you get that, yes, we are to take action, actively pursue God’s righteousness. “Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” (2 Timothy 2:22) Notice all the action? See the words flee and follow. It doesn’t say pray and wait. Those have there places, but not here. Action is the key when knowing God’s will for our life. Only when we are doing all that God commands in these “will of God” statements are we to wait patiently on the Lord. Once we begin this study, hopefully, you will get a clearer explaination of this “action” we as Christians are supposed to be taking.

The business world today can be a very intimidating place for a Christian entrepreneur. Business today is more competitive than ever. The world’s view is that money makes this world go round. All over the world some people would do anything for money.

This fact plays a role, in that, it makes most Christian entrepreneurs afraid. Most think that money will somehow corrupt their morals and interfere with their Christian living. A verse a lot of people, including Christians, misinterpret is the verse, “Money is the root of all evil.” (I Tim. 6:10). However, they fail to realize that there is much more to this verse that changes its meaning.

When you read the whole verse, you can actually see that it says “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” That’s right: money per se cannot be the source of all evil because it is an inanimate object. A lot of good has been produced by money, and if money is so bad, then how come we always give tithes and offerings?

The love for money is the root of all evil. This talks about greed. Christian entrepreneurs should never let greed rule their lives. Money is important. However, you should not learn to “love” or covet it. You should not let it dictate your life. You should not make decisions that favor money instead of your character.

Greed, as we all know, is dangerous not just to Christian entrepreneurs, but to other types of businessmen as well. A lot of people fail because of their greed by compromising their ethicial principles. Principles that keep a company in line. In fact, Christian entrepreneurs build their companies based on principles.

Want some inspiration? Well, think of Colgate. The toothpaste that most of the world is using right now was introduced to the world by a Christian entrepreneur. Another very good example of a successful Christian entrepreneur is Henry Ford. Ford ran his company under Christian principles and was rewarded by having work efficiency reach a very high level.

Until now, the Ford motor company still maintains its Christian company and still succeeds at being one of the biggest companies in the world. However, during this economic bump in the road, the way a business proceeds will say a lot about what that business values.

There are a number of opportunities out there for Christian entrepreneurs to grasp. In fact, the fact that there are a lot of Christians out there shows you that you have a very big potential market!

So, what do you need to do to get started on your path as a Christian entrepreneur? Well, you might want to look at yourself and see what you might need as a Christian. What products would Christians be willing to buy? What services can you render to Christians? What business can you offer that would not compromise your Christian principles and get in the way of your Christian living?

One option is you can always open a Christian bookstore. You know how much literature appeals to Christians. By opening a Christian bookstore, you can provide Christians with the perfect place to catch up on their reading. You can sell inspirational books and different types of gift items that would certainly have Christians flocking to your bookstore.

Another business opportunity for Christian entrepreneurs today comes in the form of music. People all over the world have noticed how much Christian music has evolved and the market is slowly expanding for it. By going into the Christian music business, you are given two opportunities. You will be able to sell music for the praising and you will be able to introduce some non-Christians to the basic concepts of Christianity.

In order to get your business started, you are going to need some help. Thankfully, there are a lot of groups out there with the purpose of helping out Christian entrepreneurs. By going to these groups, you gain a lot of advantages.

First of all, these groups can help you with the basics of building your own business. They can help Christian entrepreneurs with the legal complexities and give them different ideas as to what kind of business to go into.

By going to Christian entrepreneurial groups for help, you also have the privilege to get in contact with the Christian community and scout out your potential market. We all know how valuable information can be, and the best way to get it is straight form the source.

In the beginning when God created Adam and Eve, God commanded man they can eat of every tree of the garden. But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man shall not eat of it. He said that when they eat of this tree they will surely die (Genesis 2:16-17). Since man’s disobedience, sin entered the world. This sin was what separated man from God. No matter how good we try to be, we cannot meet God’s standard He has set. We can give to the poor, feed the hungry, read the Bible, go to church every Sunday, but these acts do not make us right with God. Trying to be the best you can be apart from being born-again will lead to a life full of failed frustrations and ultimately separated from God in hell.

However, there is great news! There is this Man that came to earth about 2,000 years ago. His name is Jesus. He came fully as a man and as God. He came to die for our sin. The same sin that is going to separate us from God for eternity. The only thing that will atone for our sin is a perfect sacrifice, or else we die in our sins to be punished through out eternity in hell. Jesus is that perfect sacrifice, He gave His life for YOU! That’s right, you! Jesus died, was buried, and resurrected the third day. The way for you to be born-again is to believe that Jesus died and rose again for you, but only do so once you are convinced you are a sinner and separated from God and need a Savior. Some say, that is just too easy. My friend, it is a heart matter, and if you are convinced you are a sinner and have called out (believed) to Jesus for salvation, Jesus says, ”All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in NO-WISE cast out”(John 6:37). Call on Jesus now, for today is the day of salvation!
