2020, For What It's Worth To You, It's a Bonus Post

Super Bowl 54 Half-Time Show

First, I saw neither the pole dancing or the crotch-grabbing. I am grateful I missed it.

Albeit, I have been reading varied comments related thereto.

Considering that members of my family either have a degree in dance and/or have invested years taking dance classes; perhaps I can bring an added thought to the conversation table.

The disciple, skill and long workdays that went into the subject half-time show I cannot honestly overlook. However, from the descriptions, I have been given it was a total and completely wasted effort as to redemption, integrity, and wholesomeness.

Inappropriate nudity and perverted sexual expression look good on NO ONE. And I do mean NO ONE. The attractiveness of the human body being displayed is without relevance. There is no good thing to be gained from such behavior. Either male or female. The human body is an exquisite masterpiece and it deserves to be respected, treated with honor and dignity; presenting it publically like a piece of meat in a grocery store display case is reprehensible to the Creator Who designed it and should be to each of us living in each such masterpiece.

So, ladies (and yes gentlemen) stop peddling yourselves to the highest bidder. GOD designed you for better. And if you will stop long enough to ask Him (and wait for His Answers), He will enlighten you.

2019, Ephesians, For What It's Worth To You, Gospel of Luke, Questions

Peering into the Possibility

Most often when I sit to read the Scriptures I have no agenda but I am purposed to hear whatever I hear and often what I hear (not verbally, of course) is a question and often the answer is oh, could it be.

Like today.

Luke 1 (because I am behind already – should have read Luke 1 yesterday, but catching up is as good as an on-time start). So, Luke 1; visiting the account of John’s (Cousin to Yeshua) birth.
Do you know what verse 15 says?

15 for he will be great and distinguished in the sight of the Lord; and will never drink wine or liquor, and he will be filled with and empowered to act by the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb. source

Does that mean no person who is drunk with wine or liquor (at least at the time of the intoxication) is filled with the Holy Spirit?

Wait!

Ephesians 5:18  (AMP) 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him. source

Drunk, intoxicated, plastered . . . etc is the definitive description.

Intoxication. Look closely at the word. INTOXICATION. What word do you see right there in the middle? Yep. TOXIC.

How about this definition? 1. The impaired condition caused by use of alcohol or a drug or other chemical substance     source

And this one? 4. (Medicine) poisoning    source

Do we dare peer into the possibility that consuming any substance to the point of TOXIC inhibits us from being filled with the Holy Spirit (at least at that intoxication)?

Reality proves that repeated intoxication is indeed toxic to the body and I’d say obviously even once is toxic to the soul of man (or woman).

Like it or not, I think the answer to our second question is yes.

I just came to hear.

2019, For What It's Worth To You, Hosea, James, Questions

Any Thoughts?

I went to look for a Passage. I found it. My prompting was people,  and their pain and sorrow and troubles and anguish and poverty. It’s rampant.  Have you noticed?

I found more than one Scripture addressing destruction but the reason is largely the same.

Hosea 4: (KJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, . . .   source

All our sorrows in this world in one way or another are due to lack of knowledge or the rejection of the knowledge given – perhaps not our own lack or rejection, but somebody’s and in turn it has affected (or perhaps infected) us.

So now what?

And you might say, well, Kathie, that’s not very encouraging. You are right it’s not. But it’s the truth. And what each of us does with the truth we know or refuse to know affects, effects and infects others.  So, again, I ask.

Now what?

James 1: (AMP) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. source
