Flaws and Applause

I have been musing on this for a few days. Today is the day to write. July 4 is days away, and sermons have already been preached about the flaws and ‘applause’ of America.
My thoughts have changed in recent years. Don’t get me wrong, I am abundantly grateful to live here; I am delighted with the comforts, but I’m not enamored with America so as to be swept away with any of this political hoopla that saturates the airwaves.

America has sinned big time, and I don’t see repentance flooding the aisles. I have narrowed my description to four sins We the People practice daily. To be sure, there are voluminous variants, but I believe each can be identified under 1, 2, 3, or 4.
1. Abortion.
2. Sexual Perversion
3. The Worship of Excess
4. The Worship of Self

I understand that since the Supreme Court cowardly sent the jurisdiction of abortion to the States, we now have more abortions performed than before. Not a win for life.
Sexual Perversion. There are no winners in this. Be the participant, heterosexual or queer, or any deviation thereof from Scripture, the practice of same brings destruction of myriad kinds over time, not only to the participants, but family, friends, and the Nation.
Excess, materially or soulishly, is a manifestation of greed, and it is practiced from sea to shining sea. Excess has become the god of many.
Self. The worship of self is the hinge pin of all sin. Every sin we practice is rooted in worship of self. It goes back to the Garden — Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil, able to decide for yourself (See Genesis 3). And, alas, we do. America does, and she flaunts her sins. Of this I am not proud.

That’s about it for my July 4th soapbox. I truly appreciate my natural-born United States citizenship, and it is my goal and intent to practice righteousness for the good of this Nation, and to do it no harm, but my allegiance is to King Yeshua. As He said, render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and what is GOD’s to GOD. (See Matthew 22)

A Strong Suggestion

Leave a comment

I am inviting you to come aboard my thought train.

I was remembering a youth building and wondering what with did they finally cover the walls.
Boundaries, it seems to me, are necessary for the health of a building and those who enter therein. The walls of our rooms speak about those who decorate them.
What they value.
What they wish to assimilate.
What they wish to say, like, this is pretty to me.

So how do we determine what should cover our walls or occupy space in our minds?
It’s a valid question, I think, and I have a strong suggestion.

Any person we esteem, before we take part in (or put on our walls) the products, clothing, music, etc., or embrace an admiring association with them, we would be wise to determine this: does their personification, their day in and day out, reflect and demonstrate that they are consistently obedient to the Bible? I didn’t say perfectly obedient, I said consistently obedient.
No?
No, there is no visible fruit that they are daily endeavoring to walk circumspectly with the LORD.
Then don’t take their stuff home with you!

Ephesians 5: 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.  LINK

I know it’s a hard row to hoe; I’m still practicing myself. However, GOD is always faithful to provide wisdom and strength to do His Will.

Legalizing

Leave a comment

 22 Abstain from every form of evil. I Thessalonians 5

Have you heard what Colorado is planning to do?  Perhaps you have an idea by now that this is shaping up to be an unusual post for this blog. 

I have a couple of links for you.

Colorado bill would fully legalize prostitution

and one more

Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity

You are correct. Colorado is a long way from Lower Alabama, but it did make our Local News, didn’t it?  

Proponents have long said we cannot legislate morality, but we do.  Murder comes with penalties. So does theft.  Perhaps it’s just sexual perversion that is above the law.  Why is that?

Just something out of my norm for you to ponder this weekend, if you will. 

Holy hugs, KathieÂ
