The New Normal

The "New Normal", what a cute little name for "we've rejected God." By the way, it is not that new. Right out of the gate in Genesis 3:1, the serpent compelled the woman to question God: "God didn't really say...?" It was this questioning of God that led to the Fall of Man which hasn't worked out so well if you follow the pages of history. It is not really a new normal, rather it is a "new morality." It is the glossing over of evil. It is painting a pretty picture of evil. Isaiah the prophet writes: "Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"-Isa.5:20. Replacing God's way and design is the sign that man has fallen off the deep end morally into corruption. He has replaced good with evil and vice-versa. Satan's words in the Garden to Eve could have easily been translated, "Eve, you and Adam aren't very progressive. God didn't really say you couldn't do this or that. Did He? That would be silly of God. Times are changing Eve, you're evolving." The "new normal" or "new morality" is based on what feels good or seems right in one's own eyes. "Woe to them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" We live in a time when it is unpopular to heed God's Word, but frankly it has been that way since the Fall. Eve became intolerant of God's Word about eating of the one tree. She soon became aware of her sin, and the damage was done. Fortunately, God has a plan for those that want to come back. Suggestion: seek the LORD while He may be found. Seek Him in His Word. Turn from darkness back to the light. By the way, this new normal is causing erosion and tragic moral decay, not evolution.

Two Kinds of Men and Bikinis

Ladies, there are two kinds of men. There is the one that is the one that wants to "do right, walk justly and all that." And there is the one that is "all about me"---the self-gratificating type. I want you to think about that as you get ready to purchase your swimwear this year. Would you walk out of the house in your bra and panties? If you saw your "hot" looking neighbor walk outside in just her bra and panties the first day of spring, and your husband was out cutting the lawn; how would you expect him to react? How would you react to her? How is he supposed to act? Let's say that he is hopelessly-devoted to you but young Ms. Upton walks out like that, is it fair? He's trying. But he has been put at a major disadvantage. Men have eyes that are trained for the hunt. Thankfully, your guy spots this a mile away, (Oh! and he can.) and he walks away. But it is troubling him. If this happens repetitively, the best of men grow weak in the knees. ---Now, the guy across the street spots the attractive young woman in the front yard in her bra and panties, but he's just a regular guy (one that could care less about righteousness and what-not); he is not going to turn away. Does a young woman really wanted Mr. X checking her out like this? You know it's a creepy thought. His eyes are burning a hole in the apparel. ---I say all this uncomfortable talk to plead with you ladies while there is still a chance (it is February). The beach is a wonderful place. But please, for the love of God and the integrity of the men that are trying to keep their thought life pure---put some stinkin' clothes on! [Satan wants you uncovered, and God wants you covered.Gen.3:21] Don't where colored panties and bras to the beach. You are making it tough on the men that are trying to behave. On the other hand, you are making the day of some men that are having thoughts about you. (We'll leave it at that.)---And men, do not get the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition! Protect yourself. Do not click on that photo, because it will lead to the wrong path.
