1 Peter 5:8-9

Good morning to all.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  Okay, many people watched the Super Bowl on Sunday with a lot of East Texans (and others) routing for KC Chiefs and Patrick.  It was a good game all the way through.  However, a quick comment on the half time show this year and in the past.  But first, let us look at 1 Peter 5:8-9 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:  (9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

   Lions attack sick, young, or straggling animals; they choose victims who are alone or not alert.  Peter warns us to watch out for satan when we are suffering or being persecuted.

  Satan attacks us when we are alone, feeling helpless, weak, focused on our troubles or living of the world instead of in the world.  Okay, is saying all this we, as Christians, must realize that satan comes as a ray of light, something that will look good to you from your weak side.  Satan likes to send a lot of "eye candy" to both men and women.

  Okay, the half time show Sunday was very offensive to me.  Why?  Because I do not want my children, grandchildren, your children or grandchildren to think it is okay to wear clothes that is not pleasing to the LORD, and to dance in seductive ways.  This is not part of the moral code of God.  And if you can prove me wrong with scripture I will listen.

  I do not care how old, young, or beautiful that person if; male or female; if it is now something I could enjoy in church then there is a good chance it is out of bounds.  What has happened to the moral character of the USA?

  Oh, yes, we have taken prayer out of schools, God out of the USA, and let liberals lead America down a path of eventual destruction

   What are your moral guidelines?  Where do you stand?  On the Bible or In The World?  We are IN the world, but we do not have to be OF the world. 

  Satan will grab you at your weak spot; whether it is gambling, lust, envy, jealously, lying, stealing, alcohol, drugs, or whatever-- just know satan and his demons are there waiting to devour as does the lion.  Check your mindset: the WORLD or...........the WORD!!!!  Thanks for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Faith
