So very THANKFUL!
Still Waters Community Church and School are filled with JESUS CHRIST’s presence

and, therefore, filled with miracles, moment by moment! Our relationship is the source of many thanks to GOD, beginning with husband and wife!

Throughout the years, I have provided guidance to many bewildered wives, husbands, parents, and children. Many of them thought they were doing the “right things” for their marriages and families, only to find themselves facing the troubled state of their relationships and the challenges affecting both them and their children.

It’s common for people to seek quick and easy solutions to their marital and parenting challenges. However, our culture’s focus on instant fixes often fails to address the underlying issues, which means these solutions are rarely effective in the long term. This culture, which promotes rapid remedies, contributes to deception, anger, and lack of maturity in relationships.

CHRIST Culture provides the solutions to our wounded and corrupt relationships, as well as addressing our spiritual, emotional, and physical needs and those of our children. However, CHRIST Culture will not support or promote anything destructive, and this is where the divergence occurs. I see more and more families becoming deceived, allowing children, teens, or unbelievers to make decisions for their households. We often prefer the lies of worldly culture over embracing CHRIST’s Culture. We want to be in control of our own lives, homes, and workplaces, refusing to let CHRIST reign over us!

We believe that our power and wisdom are both good and all-knowing. We think we are in control, while the enemy actually holds total power over us all along. Once again, we find ourselves deceived, in shock, and seeking a quick fix to fulfill our deep desires, to become our

own gods. We discover a cycle of lies, and our lives are never “free” from our human cultures. We are trapped in generational curses that shape our culture, making it difficult to recognize what harms us and our families (Proverbs 30:11-14).

CHRIST Culture is not a quick fix, nor is it a vehicle to get back to your deeply corrupt desires of destruction. CHRIST Culture follows JESUS the CHRIST, which means to follow Salvation’s KING; the name of JESUS means Salvation, and CHRIST means KING. CHRIST JESUS will make all things new, but we must be willing to allow HIM to be our KING and save us from ourselves and the enemies that seek to destroy us and those we love. Do you want miracles moment by moment? It will not be an easy, quick fix, which is deceptive lies from the world’s culture. However, following and obeying our Savior KING moment by moment will bring a new life and your transformation into the new humanity of HIS culture, Kingdom. Your heart will be filled with gratitude and thankfulness as HE gives you victory over all the generational curses in your own human culture (2 Corinthians 3:18).
