How You Treat Other Shows Your Feelings Towards God!

I started reading a book I bought at church Sunday by Rob Bell. It's called simply Sex. God. I read THIS sentence and had to write about it.

"How you treat the creation reflects how you feel about the Creator."

If you really think about this the next time you get angry or judge someone it will make it a lot harder to justify those feelings. I remember reading a scripture that says basically the same thing...you know...the one where Jesus said, "if you do it unto the least of these my children you do it unto me". I don't think Jesus was just talking about "good deeds" only.

How we treat others is in all actuality how we are treating Jesus and our God. Since we are ALL created in His image. So to judge someone unworthy to hear the gospel, or to be rude or hateful to another human being shows contempt for our Lord.

I think that is why the bible is so full of commands that involve loving others.

I have to confess I am guilty of not always treating others as if they are children of God, nor taking into account when I have been angry that every ungodly or unloving thing I say offends and breaks the heart of God above anyone else.

If we could, especially those of us who are claiming the name of Christ get this one fact ingrained within our hearts and mind to the point of changing how we treat others ALL the time the light of Christ would begin to shine so brightly it would blow those who are searching, and those who are not believers away.

Think about it...pray about it and then go out and DO IT!.

Let's Talk About Sex!

If you are wondering why there is a picture of a guy dressed up by Satan under the title of Lets talk about sex, I'm about to tell you...

First of all the guy is my husband John. Our Pastor is doing a series of messages on sex Sunday mornings. John volunteered to play the devil in the skits they are doing preceeding the message.

The first message was actually titled The Greatest Sex You Will Ever Have. In the first skit we had the devil coming out to let everyone know the Pastor was going to tell us what the Bible says about sex and how he, the devil, knows better.

The second message was called The Language of Lust, which is what this picture is taken from. In this scenario a man and woman are preparing for a date. The devil bounces from the girl to the guy planting thoughts about what dating is all about and how to make sure you get "some". After the skit is over the Pastor came out to talk about lust and how it rules the lives of so many people, including Christians.

The world says sex is for anyone with anyone and it's all about the physical pleasure and getting what you want regardless of the cost. God says He created sex and it is not dirty or simply a physical desire we have no control over. It is suppose to be a beautiful expression of love between a husband and wife. God created it for our enjoyment within the bounds of marriage.

I loved the idea of a church taking on this topic. It is about time the truth was taught within the church today. There is so much deception in the world today, especially when it comes to sex. Check out these two websites Mylamesexlife.com and LifeChurchTV. Both get to the point and are teaching what everyone needs to know about Sex, relationships, and faith.
