This will be the hardest blog post that God has laid upon my heart to write so far. It is on an issue that has and is consuming many people in our world today. And to be completely honest with you, if I'm not careful it consumes me. Adultery, a word that many believe to be a physical act of sexual infedility. However the Bible clearly states that "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:28. You see our world has sugar coated the world adultery with the word Lust. It's ok to lust after someone, afterall nothing will ever become of it. That could be nothing farther from the truth. You see it starts in the mind, you perceive these images, these fantasies, and you start to believe them. You start to live in them. It becomes who you are, it becomes what you want, it satisfies you, it leaves you wanting more. Eventually you pursue that next step. That's why the amounts of teens having sex these days is at a startling high. Do you think they just all of a sudden wanted to do the do? NO, it was a process that started as "lust" and led to more.
You know the Bible is straight forward in its approach to this issue. 1 Corinthians 6:18 "Flee from sexual immorality..." Not just stay away from it, but run as fast as you can in the other direction. RETREAT. The Book of Proverbs talking about an adulterous woman states "Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house," 5:8. I really feel that this verse is full of applicable wisdom in our lives. "And do not go near the door of her house." What does this mean? Do not put yourself in a situation where these thoughts of actions occur. Do not go near them. In other words if your computer causes you to participate in adulterous activity do not use it. If watching certain movies causes you to have adulterous thoughts quit watching them. If a certain girl causes you to engage of think in an adulterous way, leave. Do Not Go Near the Door of Her House. Why? Because its sin, it comes in between us and God. It consumes us, it takes us away from the Best that God has in store for us. Well you say this is radical, do you really expect me to do these things? To give up the computer, a relationship, or certain movies? I don't expect you too but the word is clear Do Not Go Near the Door of Her House. Afterall, was it not radical that our Savior was Crucified, that He gave it all up for you and Me?
In the Book of Matthew Jesus says "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, that for your whole body to be cast into hell," 5:29-30. Get rid of the things that cause you to fall into the trap of adultery. Jesus himself said this not me. Is it going to be a struggle? Dang right it is, an everyday battle. You see Satan has filled this world with signs and signals that prompt us towards adultrous thoughts. TV advertisments, television shows, magazines, clothing, and the list goes on and on and on... But you know what, Our God is Greater, Our God is Stronger 1 John 4:4 "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater that he who is in the world." Our god is greater.
There is no doubt someone out there who is reading this and is struggling. Someone out there who needs help. Someone out there in need of the Love and Forgiveness that only Jesus Christ can provide. The Bible says that God is love and in 1 John 1:9 the Bible states "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Not just wipe away our sins, but cleanse us of our sins. Take us to a heavenly bathtub and wash them away, send them down the drain. You may say, You have no clue what I have done? To which I reply you have no clue what I have done. But what I do know is that God forgives all of all because he gave us His All. There is no partiality. Are you willing to accept his forgiveness today dear Friend? If so, ask him for forgiveness, receive his forgiveness, Repent/walk away from that sin, and Give It all, and Live it all for Him.
Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If our God is for us, who can be against?
Phillippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Stumbling Block
I’m sitting with a friend of mine one night casually talking
amidst a large crowd of people. We were discussing everything from football to
sunrises. Suddenly the talk turned to religion and the exact words from his
mouth were “You know I don’t get Christians. They say all of these things and
you know look over there those two girls are the drunkest two at this party.
They are no different than I am.” Unknowingly to those to individuals, they had
become a stumbling block in the life of my friend.
In the book of Romans God offers gives us some advice Romans
14:21 “It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which
your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.” You know I like what my
friend tweeted on this subject matter when she tweeted “ So being a Christian,
yeah sometimes you have to give up what you love the most in order to obey
Christ and in order to keep others from stumbling. “ You see Christ is telling
us here that we are not to do anything that will come in between another
individual and Christ. Instead, we should be paving the way to Christ. What
exactly is a stumbling block? It’s any action, word, deed, activity, attitude,
or image that a Christian does that repels or trips individuals up who are on
their way to God. A person can stumble by hearing the way we talk, the jokes we
make, the attitudes we have, the things we drink, the things we do. You see
anytime we are not whole heartedly seeking God we run the risk of being a
stumbling block to others.
You might say well God is asking me to give up things that I
really love, things that define me, things that make me who I am. Well I’m here
to tell your friend that Jesus gave it all for us. He nailed his life on the
Cross for you and for me. He loved us enough to give away the thing that kept
alive, his life in order that we could have eternal life. You see he being
infinite suffered in a finite period of time what we being finite should have
suffered in an infinite period of time. He loved us enough to do this for us
and if we have accepted Him we are His, we have been redeemed, and we are
called to love Matthew 27: 37-39 “Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your
soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And
the second is like it: You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.” You see because we love God, we love people. And
in order to Love people we must mold ourselves after God. He gave up His life
in order that WE COULD BE SAVED, therefore we are to give up the things in our
lives that do not bring him Glory, that cause or could cause others to stumble
in order that others MIGHT BE SAVED. To keep our witness in check. You see
nobody wants to told about Christ by someone who they see living in a way that
contradicts what they are saying. They will not listen when they are stumbling.
Do you want to cause someone to stumble, to keep them from coming to Christ? I
certainly don’t. You know the word
states this “Greater love has no one that this, that to lay down one’s life for
his friends,” John 15:13. God has laid down his life for us, His friends. Are
we willing to lay down the things in our lives that cause our friends to
stumble?

Spiritual Spell Check
About two weeks ago I was reading through the blog a noticed
the tremendous amount of spelling errors that were throughout all of the posts.
I was and still am embarrassed by the amount of errors that were on the page;
however I learned a deep lesson through this process. We have this modern invention these days
called spell check, which looks over our writings and helps us to correct the
mistakes. It serves as somewhat of an editor; it judges our writings to keep us
from making foolish mistakes. It saves us from getting a bad grade on our English
papers or looking like a retard on blogs. The unfortunate part about this
technology is that it is not readily available everywhere you type on a
computer, just Microsoft Word in my case.
All I had to do to keep my work spelling error free was use this software, let down the feelings of spelling invincibility and help myself out.
In the Bible study that I lead we discussed Judging and that familiar passage came to my mind during that time Matthew 7:3-5 “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother Let me remove the speck from your own eye; and look, the plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Let me preface this by saying that I was in no way judging anyone, I took this passage in a whole other context. You see, God has given us a spiritual spell check here. He is saying look into your own life for sin, listen to the conviction of my spirit, follow my guidance. REMOVE the PLANK from YOUR OWN EYE. You see as believers we are to constantly look at our lives to find areas that we can improve upon. We are to see where we a weak and exposed, areas where sin is beginning to creep into our lives. We are to be proactive instead of passive in this process. Why? Because it will keep us from having a long, hard, and great fall. 1 Corinthians 11: 31 “For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.” Judging ourselves helps keep us on the path that God has for our life, it keeps us from straying too far away on the path of sin. It keeps us spiritually grounded in the faith.
The only part about judging yourself is it’s just like spell check, you have to use/do it for it to work. It just does not miraculously happen one day as your walking down the hall; it is a practice that you must apply. It is a discipline that requires a knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, being in sync with the spirit. Being willing to be truthful with yourself in order that you can face the harsh issues, it takes open ears to be willing to listen to God’s voice and conviction and a willingness to change. It is human nature to see ourselves as being perfect and keep on living the same way, but it is Holy submission to be willing to change in order that God can receive the ultimate glory from our lives. Take it from me dear brothers and sisters, Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

I Must Decrease
We hear all of the time that we are to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus. However, when rubber meets the road we are unwilling to completely give ourselves away to Christ. We hold onto the securities that we have feel that we have in this world. We cling to friends, school, sin, family, and many other things and activities that we find comfort in. We are afraid to let go of these comforts and other things that we see as steady in our lives. The unfortunate thing in all of this is that these things are only temporary and many times hinder us from completely giving ourselves away.
Jesus says in Luke 14:26-27, 33 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his Father and Mother, Wife and Children, Brothers and Sisters, Yes, and His own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be my disciple. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple."
Jesus is talking about the things that we hold dear to our hearts here. He is saying that the love that you have for any person or anything here on this earth should not even compare to the love that you have for Christ. You should love Christ so much that you you love for the thing on this earth grows less and less. Is it weird? Dang straight it is. The way that you spend your time, money, efforts, and energy will changes. The world will see yoy in a different light, but that's ok. We are called to be different, to walk a different path (Matthew 7:13-14). You see many times we believe that following Jesus is supposed to be easy, like a walk in the park. But it most definitely is not. It is a journey that is full of difficulties, but God can overcome those difficulties, we just have to let Him. We are to pursue him at such a pace that it seems that we hate the things of this world. That we let go, Cruicify ourselves, of the things that hold us back. Allow God to chisel away at our hearts and let those pieces fall and shatter on the ground.
John the Baptist said it best in John 3:30 "HE must increase, but I must decrease." What does this look like in your life? How can he increase? How can you increase? How can you apply this principle into your life? I know in my life I can let go of my desire to be in control, my temper, my selfishness, and sin. I can allow Christ to be my All, to be All in to him, to live Deuteronomy 6:5 and Jeremiah 29:13. I can truly be his hands and feet. Allow him to use my to accomplish the will that he has for my life. To let go of those things that I find security in, the things that I constantly run to when things get tough and instead, RUN TOWARDS GOD WITH ALL OF MY HEART. He must increase.... and I Must Decrease.

A Lesson from Life
All of my life I have been keeping a buffer zone between me and the people that surround me. People thought that they knew me, but when in reality they didn't. People knew who I was at the most basic of levels, but never at a level deeper than that. My world was rocked just the other day when someone finally broke into the buffer zone. To be honest I was completely freaked out, absolutely speechless. How had someone finally broke into this zone, they were treading into unchartered territory. For the first time in my life I felt like I was truly out there, completely vulnerable, and I was scared. However, there is a great lesson that I have been taught through all of this, It's Good. I know your thinking It's Good sound like nothing, but hear me out and I think that you will be blessed in just the same way that I was through this.
Look at the Apostle Paul when he was on the Road to Damascus. He was walking along the road on the way to gather up believers in Damascus and his life was changed forever. God himself came into Paul's life and asked him Acts 9:4 "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" God himself confronted Saul and asked him what he was doing, he told Saul exactly what he was doing. He entered unchartered territory in Saul's life. Just like I was Saul felt vulneable, scared, and amazed Acts 9:6 "So he, trembling and astonished..." Amidst all of these emotions that were going on and the astonishment that Saul was facing, he knew it was time to let go, time to change. V. 6 "Lord what do you want me to do?" The the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." Saul knew it was time to change his ways so he obeyed and went, the rest is history. He received the Holy Spirit, his named was changed to Paul, and he became the greatest of all of the Apostles. Why? Because he was willing to accept what happened when someone came into that unchartered territory. Instead of run into a shell and hide he choose to come out and completely change. He went from Saul to Paul, from Christian killer to soul winner.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." I believe that everything that happens in life happens for our good, despite how we feel in the current moment. I feel that in those moments God is trying to teach us something, just like I feel he is trying to teach me something in this moment. What is he trying to teach me? He is teaching me that in order to completely show other people his love, the buffer zone has to break. In order to completely serve him the way that I want to serve him, I can't be afraid to put myself out there. I can't be afraid to love. Why? 1 John 4:8-9 " He who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him." We love because 1. God is love. and 2. He showed us his love by nailing Jesus to the cross. Not loving is simply not an option. Is is scary loving people? Dang straight it is. Could you get hurt? Most certaintly you can. The only way that you can truly love others is to first love God, and the let go of all of your fears, all of your walls, all of your what ifs and start loving. Is it going to be scary? Yes. Could you get hurt? Yes. But its worth it.
1 John 4: 18-19 "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We Love him because He first loved us."

Live Like That
My favorite Christian band, Sidewalk Prophets, recently put out their new album Live Like That. The title track, Live Like That, has become the theme for my life.
I want to live like that
And Give it all I have
So that everything I say and do points to you
If love is who I am
Then this is where I stand
Recklessly abandoned, Never Holding Back
I want to Live Like That
I Want to Live Like That.... What does that mean? Some would say that it is having that pretty house on the corner, a beautiful family, a well paying job, comfort, luxury, health, etc... Although there is nothing wrong with the life, as Christians we are called to something that is much more than this. When we say I want to live like that we are saying, God here I am let everything I say, everything I do, every part of my life Honor, glorify, and lead others to you. We are devoting ourselves to Love. The way we live our lives is going to change, it has no choice to. The way we talk, walk, act, spend our time, money, and efforts are going to change. Why? Because we will no longer conforming ourselves to the world, Romans 12:2 "And do not be CONFORMED to this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." In order to Live Like That our priorities shift from the world to God. We no longer try to mold Jesus to our lives, we allow him to take over our lives so that he can transform us into all that he wants us to be. We lose control, we are no longer in charge, Jesus is Matthew 16:24-26 "Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what Profir is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?""
The most powerful line in the whole song is the line "Recklessly Abandoned, Never Holding Back." Many times we say that we want to Live Like That but that is as far as it goes. We are not willing to let go and let God move through us. We are not willing to allow our Father and Creator to work in us to complete the purpose that he made us for. Want to see someone who was Recklessly Abandoned? Look at Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, Steven, Noah, Moses. All of these people allowed God to come into their lives and do things that others thought was crazy, and in the God's will was achieved. Because Jesus lived like that we are able to obtain salvation by Grace through Faith. Becuase Moses lived like that he led the Exodus into the Promised Land. Becuase Noah lived like that he preserved mankind and animals from dying in the flood. Becuase Peter, John, and the other disciples lived like that the early Church had leaders and began to flourish. When people live all out, God shows up and shows out. When we are recklessly abandoned and hold nothing back from God, he uses us in the most awesome ways. All we have to do is have the faith to live like that. Allow God to come into our hearts, set the example, and us follow that example. Are you willing to Live Like That?
Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma."
I want to live like that
And Give it all I have
So that everything I say and do points to you
If love is who I am
Then this is where I stand
Recklessly abandoned, Never Holding Back
I want to Live Like That

Flawed Thinking Again
Many times as believers we pray that we become all that God wants us to become. However, we are much like the guy in this movie, we do not really believe in it happening. We do not really believe that he will do it. But the great news is that We have a God who IS and WILL and is WILLING to help us become all that he wants us to become. All we have to do is allow him to do his work.
How does God help us to become all that he has for us to be..? He reveals our sins to us. He makes it Uncomfortable for us to sin... His spirit guides out heart to Holiness. God died on the cross for our sins but many times we fail to realize what this really means. We do not think that we are good enough for God to save us, we buy into the lie of the world, the lie of satan. God died on the cross for all of sin, for all on mankind. Hebrews 2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone."Key phrase MIGHT TASTE DEATH FOR EVERYONE. He died for ALL... Not for the GOOD. My Bible says in Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, no, not one." There is not a good person in the world. No one is righteous, not even one. Nobody is good enough to be saved by God, but our GOD is GOOD ENOUGH TO SAVE US. He loves us John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE his only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish, but have Everlasting Life."God gave Jesus up for ALL not the GOOD.
Many of us were, are, or will be caught up in the lie that we are not good enough. We try to Mask our sins so that no one else will know them, and it tears us up inside. The world sees us as being this Holy person, but deep down inside we know that we are nothing more than a hypocrite. We are afraid to allow God to come into our hearts, into our lives and chisel away the sins that are holding us back because we are afraid of what he will find. When in all reality he can already see those sins, he already know them. We know that we have let God down, we just do not want him to know, but he already does. He loves us despite letting him down, he wants to pick us up. But we continue to do the same things over and over expecting different results. Insanity.... Trying to do life on our own is insanity... We feel that we are letting God down when we never ever were the ones that were holding him up... HE is the One who HOLDS US UP. And he NEVER LETS US DOWN.
I believe that the words of the Old Hymn had it right when it says
"My hope is built on nothing less that Jesus Blood and righteousness
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, All other Ground is sinking Sand."
When our hope is in Christ and Christ alone we are standing on the solid Rock, the rock than cannot be moved, changed, of shaken. He will hold us up because he is solid, because he loves us. BECAUSE GOD IS. All we have to do is trust GOD, obey his spirit, and put or complete FAITH in him.
Deuteronomy 32:4 "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and Upright is He.
1 John 4:8"..... God is Love" 1 Corinthians 13:8 "Love never fails..."
1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
You are his Love. Walk in it, Talk in it, Believe in it, and Live in it. You are special to Him.
Psalms 56:13 "For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?"
How He Loves Us
You Love Me Anyway
