Second Nature

[Sigh]

Utter stupidity at its best. Often times we [men] don't notice, nor do we understand the rarity we have in our better half. While we may grasp the concept of a "good woman" and we know [for a fact] that we've found her, every so often we do or say something stupid, thus unleashing that male second nature [i.e. stupidity]. After a laundry list of terrible women and experiences, one would think I would be able to fully appreciate this great woman whom I've known for 4 years [and some change] now. I've grown to be quite the model man of God, and I have learned how to treat the fairer sex. Knowing that I'm undoubtedly first place in her arteries, I allowed myself to question it and act with that age old emotion. I acknowledge that I've hurt her, and for that I am deeply apologetic. A man can admit when he's wrong, and I am here to say that I was definitely wrong. After 21 years of playing the field, I've had time to acquire an intuitive knowledge of woman. I can say with confidence that she has been a best friend to me, and an even better girlfriend and I don't want it any other way, she's it.

This blog really isn't intended for poetry slam snaps or praise, I just want to dedicate this to my lady love, and make sure she knows that I love her and I truly desire to own up to my harsh oversight of her feelings. I can really say that she’s the better half of my physical being, she’s beautiful.

To love,

Let's mark this as an instance that we don't ever have to worry about anymore. Jealousy and conceit has no place in the temples of Christ, and as His temple we have to always keep Him first, never lacking His qualities. I know you’re wild about me, and you know that I’m absolutely fanatic over you. Let’s move one, after all, it isn't about Jack or Jill, they’re in the history book, it's first about Jesus Christ, and the love that you and I have right now.

For my lady love,

Without you our love is bland and lacking animation. Bring our color back babe.

Until next time...

The Time Is Now

A pressing issue that constantly plagues my mind is that of the everyday lifestyles of people. It's sort of beyond me, how one can call him/herself a Christian, but live a horribly contrary lifestyle. It's not really difficult; God says if you love Him, you'll keep His commandments.
So...

How can we [as Christians] say "live for God, I love The Lord with everything, etc." and in the same breath we lie, or use profane language? Or club, get drunk, fornicate, or house homosexual identities? [etc.]

Let's revert back to John 14:15 [if you love me, keep My commandments."
How can we truly love him, but defile our bodies? [1 Corinthians 6:19-20]
Smoking, drinking, carnal thinking.
Premarital sex, lust [after people AND possessions]
Everything that that the Bible [God's word] speaks against, yet we're Christians.
Here's where the problem lies...
We don't read God's word! We read the "good parts" [yea though I walk through the valley, etc.] We omit the books that condemn our shameful behavior. The books that tell us we WON'T inherit the kingdom of heaven if we keep these up. [try, pretty much the whole New Testament]
It's not a hard process at all, really. The knowledge of God won't come through osmosis, or being optimistic about Him "knowing your heart, so you'll be okay." We have to read and study the word of God for ourselves, this way, we can know what He permits, and what He doesn't. What His will is, and what isn't in His plan for us.

Mind you, I'm not judging anyone, nor am I deeming myself perfect. I am only declaring the word of God, because He's quite sick of us presenting any old lifestyles and ways before men, making them think it's cool to be sin-filled, live any way we want and follow Christ. God will not accept that which is lukewarm guys. Either be hot or cold. Seriously, just read the bible. There are 66 books, I promise you'll find what you need to confirm whether or not what you do with your life is holy and right. And you'll gain insight and direction on how to live holy.

I love you all with the love of Jesus Christ.
