Nothing is Sacred Anymore!

This is just a rant...nothing with depth really. Ggggrrr!

I'm just baffled at the flippant nature of America and what is on TV especially. It's disgusting, I can't even watch TV anymore without it hitting some sort of nerve.
What especially bothers me is how TV portrays rapes, and how they feel they can openly talk about it and show graphically what happens. It's offensive to people who have experienced that, such as myself, and TV is the last place they want to relive that horrific experience. It's such a private matter. A matter that doesn't need to be treated like an awareness campaign. Rape is real and it happens, but don't plaster it on TV.
Same with sex. Between Victoria Secret Commercials and perfume commercials nothing is left to the imagination. They have taken something God created and twisted it and made it disgusting. Our children's minds are being corrupted. Hollywood it taking our innocence away. Even in our schools! Teaching sex education! Oh my word!! Try this, keep your hands to yourself, keep your pants zipped, and keep your eyes to yourself until you get married. That's what I'm going to tell my children.
What else.....
Don't even get me started on rap music. I love some of those beats they got, and I'll admit Eminem can rap like nobody's business but the words that come out of his mouth, oh my word! Language on TV, and in song lyrics. What the lyrics are about. Sex slaves....here we are back to sex!! God help us. Come get your children.

I pray our children, and we as adults continue to keep our Christian values and not let the World take them from us. I pray that our minds will be kept pure. That we will stand firm by our standards, and plant God's word so deep in our heart and mind.
I love the little song:
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
Oh be careful little ears what you hear
Oh be careful little feet where you go
For the Father up above is looking down in love.

Who believes what we’ve heard and seen? Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this? The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum. But the fact is, it was our pains he carried— our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures. But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. -Isaiah 53:1-6 The verses above have stuck out in my mind surrounding this Easter Season and in the midst of this plague. Jesus wasn't afraid of disease or death or anything deemed to b

Hupomone -- A Patient Endurance

Image
I can remember the first time I heard this Greek word, Hupomone (noun). (pronounced hoop-om-on-ay') It literally means remaining under the Divine Presence while being tested. I was sitting in the church my dad was pastoring at the time, a rural church in North Carolina. It's been well over 10 years ago. I was sitting on a pew with my friend Sarah, kinda toward the front. I don't remember anything about the sermon that day, just the word Hupomone. Sarah and I looked at each other and giggled like girls do, and Sarah blurted out, "What's humopone?!" My dad, the gracious man he is, answered her interruption. For the next few months Sarah and I would run around randomly saying, "Hupomone!" several times in a row. It really is a fun word to say. Looking back on it, what a great thing to do. What if there were people running around yelling Greek words at you to remind you, Endure! Endure! Endure! Endure! Endure! People probably thought we

That You May Believe

Image
  We see the word, "believe" a lot in our culture.  We are encouraged by wooden frames, and art to "believe in ourselves."  In all actuality that is idolatry telling you to place your faith in yourself.  I don't know about you, but I have no idea how to direct my life other than to trouble.  Do we really want to lift ourselves higher than God?  That we are worthy within ourselves to reject God and trust ourselves instead?  I guess we have all walked that path at one time or another.  My existence outside of Jesus Christ and His Spirit in me amounts to nothing.  It begins and ends.  I live for myself, doing whatever I please, going wherever.  It may be attractive for a season, but in the end my life it isn't hinged on any meaning. In throwing the word, "believe" around so much it looses it's meaning almost like when we tell people we love them without thinking or feeling.  Believe is a key word to the Bible, especially the book of John.  Belief
