Let's be Fair

People keep saying they want things fair and screaming equality. Well let's just get real fair here for a minute. The definition of equal is "as great as, the same as, like or alike in degree or value". Tim Tebow is a Christian, spoke openly about his faith and was criticized for it. Michael Sam is homosexual, acts openly about it on tv and is praised. What part of that sounds fair or equal? Both were male college athletes heading into the NFL proud of their beliefs, yet one is praised by the media for his beliefs while the other is criticized for discussing his? Do you really want fair?
 
 
"They attacked Tim Tebow for talking about faith, but they praised Michael Sam for being gay? Does the media have two different definitions when talking about tolerance? http://fxn.ws/1qvhvb7 " - Fox & Friends photo and quote
 

I had a post on FB a while back about sexual immorality but it can basically be summed up in this verse, "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

I'm not saying that any one who commits a sin or falls into one of these categories on occasion cannot make it into Heaven.  If that were the case I wouldn't stand a chance.  What I'm saying is that we have to repent of our sins and ask for forgiveness.  Repent by definition is "to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better".  My favorite part of that is that the actual definition says that repenting changes your life for the better.  Accepting Jesus Christ and his gift of salvation is always for the better!

2020 is Hindsight...Finally!

Wow, what a year! 2020 could literally be an entire decade, maybe more, of history, change, and lessons rolled up into these twelve months. While many aspects of 2020 were kind of sucky and we would like to forget them, it will certainly be a year to remember. And it will be enlightening when this year is looked back on in 10, 25, or 50 years to be discussed. I wonder if we'll seem like geniuses or idiots? Probably both to some extent! While there is so much that I could consider and analyze about this year, I'll try to break some of it down into four dimensions - Physical, Spiritual, Mental, and Social/Emotional. These are events and happenings from my world and perspective and I'm trying to be open in sharing and would love to hear from others on events you found most transforming. Physical When COVID cause gyms to close, that messed me up. Our town and state were late to be hit with severe cases and therefore later than many across the country to close up shop. I'm n...

Worship > Fellowship

I believe that worship, true worship of God, is more important than fellowship with other believers.  Now I'm not saying that fellowship and relationships aren't important.  But I am saying that if I'm not worshiping God, if I'm not right with him, then my other relationships can't be right.  My fellowship and worship with him is more important than my relationship with my wife, my son, family, friends, my church, and my community.  Think about it.  How can I love my wife like Christ loved the church if I don't love Christ?  I wouldn't know how to love without knowing him.  Why should she submit to me if I'm not worth submitting to?  And yes I do believes wives should submit, but I also believe that won't be an issue as long as she's submitting to a godly husband.  (Ephesians 5:22-25) Our love for others must flow from our love and worship of God.  1 John 4:19-21 reads, "We love because he first loved us.  If anyone says,...

Planes Fly in the Sky

Let me be very honest and candid about this - when I first read about the proposed airplane tax cut, I was not happy (just say it, I was mad!).  I thought that it was ludicrous to consider cutting tax revenue while counties are already struggling due to decreased sales and collections of local taxes.   However, unlike many people in today's culture, I didn't take to social media to start talking about how stupid the idea was and how much I disagreed with.  Instead, I started doing some research.  I looked up some information, asked some questions, had some conversations, and I learned some things. This was important for me to understand because I own a boat (I consider planes and boats luxury items) and pay Union County property taxes.  However, that boat hasn't been in Union for years.  It's housed and operated in a neighboring county.  There's not even anywhere that I can safely and legally operate my boat on public property in Union, yet I stil...
