Purity??? Is it in your home????

Good morning everyone!! What a wonderful day to be alive in the LORD Jesus Christ!! God is good, all the time, all the time God is good!!!! Okay, here is some food for thought.

Are your thoughts pure??? What do you accept in your home??? Are we being polluted???? Is Jesus Christ pure????? What is allowed in your home via electronic media, i.e. t.v.; computer; x-box; play stations; Wii; etc.???

Oh, we have a little bit, but not much. Reminds me of the story about the children who asked the father if they could go to a movie. It had some content that was not acceptable by dad, but they had there argument. It was rated really high, thought to get great awards, had lots of great names-big name movie stars in it, the critics rated it high, and some other kids from the church went and said it was not that bad.

The father asked to think about it for a day. His children thought they had him. The next day dad called them in to talk about it. He had some brownies for them. Now, he began, seeing the puzzled look on the children's faces.

These brownies are baked with the finest chocolate, award winning chocolate; the best nuts one can buy, and the recipe is an award winning recipe. However, there is just 1 thing they needed to know. The batter was mixed up really well, but there was just a little bit, not much, just a tiny bit of dog manure mixed in. Now it was mixed very well and blended, and baked at 350 degrees so all bacteria would be killed and would not make them sick.

Dad continued, if you will eat 1 brownie, then you make go to the movie. Well, don't you know......this is what we do in every day life. The other night as I was relaxing I watched 2 and a half men, 30 Rock, The Office and everything I experienced had sexual references. Yes, there was humor, but how subtle and easy are the sexual references there, and allowed to enter the home for our children to see. Last night I arrived at my hotel, turned on the t.v. and Earl came on, it was about sex.

Women, you wonder why men watch sports?? Men, you wonder why women like the CVC type channels?? What has happened???

Job 14:4 "Who can bring purity out of an impure person? No One!"

Psalm 86:11 "Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you."

Stop, Drop, & Pray!!! Thanks for reading. Pray for what our young people are experiencing-praying they will rise above the moral deterioration of our society. Love you all!!!

In Christ's Love and Grace
