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...

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...

Cookie Cutter Marriage

  Is your marriage like a cookie?  Maybe it's sweet.  Maybe it's comforting.  Maybe it's round (symbolic of the continuity of the rings).  Whatever cookie you feel your marriage may most resemble, and the possibilities are endless, they all require some of the same ingredients to be tasty and successful. If we were to examine several cookie recipes, we would see just how many variations there are.  You have numerous chocolate chip, chocolate oatmeal, peanut butter, sugar, and many many more that we could name off. But what makes a cookie a cookie?  Most cookie recipes call for some combination of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.  This where it gets fun.  From here, you can add the flavor(s) that you and your family enjoy!  Do you want to add fruit, candy, chocolate?  Again, the possibilities are endless. The same is true in our marriages.  There are some core "ingredients" that we all need - love, trust, compassion, faithfulness...
