Sexuality Confusion

In the Beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,...
God created man in his image; in the divine image He created him;
male and female He created them.  God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply;...
Genesis 1:1, 27-28.


  It could not have been clearer. God created men and women.  They were to join together to procreate and form a family. He did not create homosexuals or transgender people. He did not create many genders.


  The thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy,
I [Jesus] came that they might have life and have it to the full. John 10-10


  Where there is destruction and distortion we see the work of the devil.


  Much has been written in the last decade on this subject, both good and bad. I recently came across two blog posts that I thought were particularly interesting. The first is a Matt Walsh blog on how far to go to protect your children from being indoctrinated by the Left. The second is the experience of a man who felt led by the Holy Spirit to attend the recent Gay Pride parade in San Francisco. For someone who has never attended a Gay Pride event, it's good to hear about what "Gay Pride" really stands for.
  I think it's worth your time to read both.

Dinner With Jesus

  What would you wear if you were invited to have dinner with Jesus?  Actually, each time you gather at church that’s exactly what you’re doing, having dinner with Jesus.  Just think—the bread, the wine, the table, the tablecloth, the candles—you sitting across from Jesus on the altar.

  When we go out to dinner at a fine restaurant, we dress in our better clothes.  Shouldn’t we dress just as nicely when we come to have dinner with Jesus?  We also dress in nicer clothes when we attend special occasions such as graduations, weddings, parties, proms.  Did you ever wonder why?  It’s because our dress reflects that the occasion is special.  To attend a wedding in sneakers and sweatpants would be an insult to the bride and groom.  The way we dress shows respect for the people we are honoring.

  Is the way we dress for church the most important thing?  No, the most important thing is that we have come to worship and thank God.  Does Jesus care what we wear to church?  Jesus cares that we show Him the same honor and respect that we would show to the President of the United States or any other important person.  What would you wear if you were invited to dinner with the President?  What do you wear when you come to have dinner with Jesus?

 Bring gifts, and enter His courts; worship the Lord in holy attire.  Psalm 96:8b

A Pause In Reflections

If anyone was wondering whether I'd given up this blog, I haven't. Had an injury. Between that and summer company (I live near the beach), have found it difficult to find time to write. Hopefully by September I can get back to my regular weekly schedule.
