We Are Entertained By Sin!

When a filter is dirty it ceases to do its job correctly. It begins to let dirt, grit and grim get to places it is not suppose to get to. The filter when clean can drastically reduce problems. I never can remember to change filters.

 On the other hand, don’t be gullible. Check out everything, and keep only what’s good. Throw out anything tainted with evil. (1 Thess 5:21-22, MSG)

 I read this question this morning in my daily devotion, Soul Detox on YouVersion,

“Are you entertained by sin?”

You have heard the joke that you know is sin but its too good not to tell someone. When you read it you respond with LMAO (If you don’t know what that means, ask your kids). 

Fresh Fire

I’m Back! I back with a fresh fire. Sitting at the edge of the ocean reading a book has been my office for the past week. The evening were spent with Mary Anne, Luke and Hannah. A great and memorable time. Actually I read several books. The Organic God, Soul Detox, Mondays with My Old Pastor, Man Alive and The Pursuit of God. I will do a review on each book in the days to come but I want to tell you what God did through these books.

I was reintroduced to God at His basic (organic) character. Sometimes we get our life and brain so cluttered that we forget some basic truths about who God is and His amazing love for us. God also convicted me that I have allowed toxic matter within my soul. I must guard my heart. I also learned that ministry, real ministry, has been a challenge for ages, but God is faithful and He has called us to remain faithful to our call. I further was challenged in what it is to be a godly man and how to allow God to use me in the environments I find myself. Then I was lead to God through understanding what it is like to pursue God as He is and He desires us to be and to fight against the Americanizing of Christianity. So I have five questions for you to ponder.
