That I may look back on it all and see God's Glory, not my own...
It's Saint Patrick's Day
truthIt's Saint Patrick Day and no I will not wear green. I will not wear green and show my support for a Holiday celebrated for the purpose of drunkedness. That's all it is today. Another excuse for people to go out and get plastered. Next week it'll be the same thing...
"Let's celebrate the Ressurection of Christ by getting drunk! Hoorah!"
Fools. Igornant fools who know or care nothing for the Word of God. Even those who claim Christianity will be out tonight engaged in sin and that will only serve as proof of the true nature of their salvation (or in this case, the lack there of).
Yes, it bothers me. It bothers me that our world is choking on sin yet they continue to shove more of it down their own throats. Fools. No I will not wear green and if anyone even thinks about pinching me they will received a sound bashing over the head with my Bible.
And what kind of question is this, really, people? "Would you even kiss a girl?"
I stared at my co-workers dumbfounded when they asked me this. They mock me. They really don't understand just who I am and who I serve. They honestly think I could give any other answer that what the Word of God says.
Ok, let visualize...under the very broad umbrella of "Sexual Immorality" you have many sins...fornication, adultery, incest, beastiality, porn, orgies, homosexuality...etc. etc. I kiss my sister because she's my sister but I do not lust after her. If I did that would be incest and homosexuality (Lev. 18 and Rom. 1).
Let's say I was drunk and someone double-dog-dared me to make out with a girl. To do so would demonstrate a lack of self-control...
"It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God..." ~1 Thess 4:3-5
...and based on this particular text, one's salvation should be questioned. "Like the heathen, who do not know God." One should ask "Maybe I don't know God and that is why I do these things? Am I still under the bondage of sin and the devil? Does this mean I'm going to hell?"
DING DING DING! Tell them what they've won, Johnny! The Conviction of the Holy Spirit! No really it's a good thing, I promise. Conviction over our sinful ways is what leads us to repent of those sins and trust utterly in the work of Christ on the cross, whom without, yes, we all would be going to hell.
But back to the matter at hand. Drunkedness and lack of restraint/modesty/decency are different iniquities that can lead to sexual immorality. One may not have been burning with lust for the member of the same sex from the example above, however it is still sin because of the drunkedness.
"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. " ~ Galatians 5:19-25
You asked the question. And there is my answer. How else would you people execpt me to respond but with the truth?
While I'm at it, there is another issue weighing on my mind... Thank you Jamie Lynn Spears and Miley Cyrus for being such wonderful role models for our nations youth. These two young ladies have now joined the ranks of "Barely Pubescent and Pregnant" celebrities that I, at one point in time, would have allowed my children to watch but not now. Not now that they proudly advertise "Sex before marriage is cool" and "Condoms are sooo lame."
And we wonder why our world is going to hell in a handbasket? Look at the role models for the next generation! Wake up people! Geez!
Ok... Rant over. No I will not wear green.
