Seductively Appealing

Too much of what we see around us is seductive, being supplied to appeal to the masses, partly to distract us from the beauty of love for one another, but more so to distract us only to its beauty. Like a moth to flame and as in the days of moses beauty was meant to allure us into sins of the flesh.

The appeal of skin is nothing new and has been around since the dawning days of our fathers. As with all sin, the more appealing the more we seem to slide down that slippery slope falling further into sin and further from our Lord, Jesus.

While we normally set our sights on things of this world, new homes, new jobs, new clothes, more investments, etc. the list could go on for miles.

The true demon here is knowing that we are easily distracted, for some it is fatal and last forever into eternity. Knowing right from wrong yet continuing to sin is one of those roads to destruction, unless we detour our course it will surely lead to our doom.

Sometime the best course of action is no action, better to set sail only in the safety of the bay or to merely take baby steps than to press full throttle into oblivion dooming us and those who follow us into disaster.

Repent and be renewed or stay the course and be replused.

Gone is the Day

Gone is the day, woe is to me, the opportunites lost

Lost is the chance to surrender to him that cleanses all

Awash in the guilt still, no peace today

Make plans if you will, but by his will it may never come to pass

By his grace we breathe our first and last

Through his will we are able still

Squander not the opportunities !!!

Sometimes I Cry

Sometimes I cry, inconsolably, not sure why.

Sometimes I feel anger, so much it scares me

Sometimes I worry this will all overtake me.

Most nights I can't sleep because I wrestle with the dreams

Sometimes I wonder how God could ever forgive me for the things I've done

Sometimes the burdens get too heavy

Sometimes I fall down and wonder if I'll ever get back up

Almost always I find myself in a spiritual fight, the enemy is always cruel and cunning.

Almost always I pray myself to sleep....

Sometimes I just cry...

No one is Perfect

How easy it is to dismiss the notion that; "we are only human" or that "no one is perfect". Just another legalistic lie. Satan is subtle in his notion that we should not begin to believe for one minute we are better than anyone else, after all we are only human and you can't expect a miracle overnight, right?

True be told, which Satan does not provide, we are better than that, "miracles" or "blessings" do happen and guess who is not providing them, yep the guy with the pearly white teeth an slimy handshake, good ol Mr. In-Between, (we will get to why I call him that).

No longer should you dismiss any inaction or failure to the notion as we are only human and no one is perfect because they are both lies. We are not merely human, maybe in form, but not in spirit, and the notion that no one is perfect is just a lie because we know that God is perfect and he is real and a part of our everyday lives.

Mr. In-Between lives on Procrastination Street in the town of Doubt and Deceit. Keeping all that live there and their many cousins in turmoil. Doubting whether to believe anything they read, see or experience. We live in a sinful world after all, right? No...

Being stuck between a hard place and a rock is just that, Hell is a hard place left to hardheaded people who refused to see, while the rock is the rock that was cast aside, imperfect, but cleansed and purified made into the cornerstone. Falling between these two choice is all you have, but choose wisely your decision will last an eternity.
