Sexual Immorality

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral not idolaters not adulterers not male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thrives nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Dear World,
Homosexuality is wrong. I encourage you to stop celebrating it along with other sins that we glorify in society today.

Dear Christian Brothers & Sisters,
I'm encouraged by the passion that has been awoken in many of us by the recent Supreme Court ruling. However, we must remember to study these verses fully as they include many more sins.

The reason the world won't listen to our arguments for Godly biblical marriage is because we post these arguments in our big houses from fancy phones (greed), while bashing people for their beliefs (slanderer) not correcting out of love but out of self-righteousness, while many of still feel it is socially acceptable to be drunkards and hookup with members of the opposite sex in pre-marital relationships (sexually immoral), not to mention how money, power, fame, and celebrities have become idols to us.

My rule on working out is that I don't tend to take advice from people less fit than myself. I don't listen to fat nutritionists, slow runners, or weak lifters. When we're living in lives so marred in sin, why should the world listen to us then? Just because we don't commit that one sin?

If you're still reading and not fuming mad at me by now then let me tell you why. Why is my sin "not bad" as your sin? Because "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." - Romans 9:9-10,13

So no world, I'm not better than you. I'm a sinner. We are in the same boat going thru the same storms. I've just chosen to wear a life jacket made by Jesus Christ. Won't you do the same?

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,...

Do You Need Revival?

"Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in You?" - Psalm 85:6 The thoughts below were in my devotional this morning by Dr. Lee Sheppard: "So how can we know if we need revival in our lives?  Well, we need revival when our salvation has lost its joy, when our sin does not break our heart, and when we make little to no effort to witness to the lost.  We need revival when worship becomes boring, when we are at odds with believers and see no need for reconciliation, and when we fail to believe God for the impossible.  We need revival when we have to be begged to give and serve in church and when we would rather make money than give money.  We need revival when we have to be entertained to be drawn to church and when we are indifferent to the fact that there are 2.5 billion people on the planet who have never heard the name of Jesus.  We need revival when we don't regularly see the supernatural evidence of God's power and when ...
