A Polite Society

 

A Polite Society

     Following a long winter, spring is here.  For those of you, perhaps women who are not looking at the thermometer, yes, perhaps those of you who take no interest in the change of seasons, this means nothing.  But for those of us it means freedom.

     I don’t think most women look forward to showing the leg or bearing the bosoms, it just happens because it feels better than the bulky wear of winter.  For us guys, we notice things bounce more and certain things draw our eye to your midsections. Probably not unnatural.  Most healthy as men are attracted to the form of women.  In this case, the usual distractions are to be applauded as long as one’s speech isn’t dominated by, “She’s hot!” or so on.  A woman’s worth goes under the skin to the heart.  From there she is evaluated.

     1 Peter says in a chapter 3 that Godly women are first to be known for their insides.  Which, praise God, we cannot choose how are bodies are formed.  So we have the challenge of prioritizing the reformation of our insides.  Mascara and eye shadow only do so much.  The longer we walk with Jesus, His true light shines out.  Don’t worry women.  You are all pretty and increasing beauty will continue to dawn forth as you are conformed to His image.

     What of the change of seasons?  We men sit up and take notice of your feminine figures in ways we cannot help.  I would say if women are comfortable and feel safe wearing shorts and a t-shirt while jogging down my local avenue, we have succeeded.  We have fought long and hard to give you this freedom.  Do you realize the amount of legislation and societal norms plus fleshly restraints our great nation has instituted to provide the woman protection who wears a piece of clothing that could appear somewhat provocative?

     I have never been to Iran.  Bed sheet coverings are not my thing.  God made the curves of women in a wonderful way.  From the curve of their neck to the subtly of their ankles, He claims master craftsmanship.  So what is our response?

     Doesn’t God say a lot about self-control?  He mentions things as meditating on the good and perfect things.  We are to change our thinking away from the world’s.  In other words, put off lust!  Lust is the unhealthy perversion that draws our members to do sex acts in the dark in inordinate ways.  Lust is conceived and child sex trafficking could be the result.

     We have a polite society, still.  As long as women can jog down my avenue without fear of rape, we have indeed won.  It is our responsibility to maintain.

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...

Cyclosporine

  Cyclosporine      Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive drug given to keep the body from rejecting a transplanted organ.   In other words, the body knows its own and will fight foreign matter from being grafted in.   As a man with stage four kidney disease, this drug may come in handy.       So how is Christ our cyclosporine?   New must come.   In our natural state, our being fights what is not original.   Upon conversion, His Spirit enters in.   Mysteriously His Spirit intertwines with ours being permanently bonded together forever.   Hence, He is needed as we accept Him as our savior.      Acceptance is a huge thing.   What we allow into our heart, mind, and soul influences our spirit which animates our body.   We are as fortresses, walled cities with wooden gates hung upon steel hinges.   He gives us opportunity to stage keepers at each entrance.   They...

She Doesn't Tell You That You Are A Loser

She Doesn’t Tell You That You Are Loser Grace:  The incredible pink cushion between your screwed up decisions and the ramifications wrought by them. Mercy:  withholds the rod.  Grace says, “Now what?  Given you’ve gotten yourself into a marijuana muddied bowl of slime, would you like a hand up?”  She gets her hands dirty. “That’s ok, its just something I have to work through.”  And she does.  Her incredible prayer power burns a hole through overhanging clouds of gloom. My ears pierce in my usual confronting atmosphere.  An auto E.Q. does its job to focus the vibrations to the rear-view mirror.  Anger aligns my head to look straight into traffic.  Twenty minutes of a sub-woofer gets my energy out of the windshield. “Hey, you’re messing with my woman!”  We have an understanding.  She is to be under my wing.  I have violated before, running in a tangent to the graph.  I’ve learned not to overreact.  I conc...
