He's Lord over Madonna and Bruce and MercyMe and us. There's a particular person in my life who thinks that anything "worldly" has no place in church but I'm afraid she also feels that Jesus has little to do with the world outside of church. Nothing escapes the Light. I love that and I love CrossPoint. You go, Frank. Jesus is Lord. He’s Lord over Madonna and Bruce and MercyMe and us.

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:29:18 +0000 http://ancienttruthmodernsound.com/the-things-of-god-that-destroy-us#comment-2831 I agree with all you've said, with the caveat that we should remember 1 Cor 10:23-33 since some things that do not lead us into sin can lead others into sin because of their lesser self control.

Think about the fact that Adam was tempted (before the fall), and Jesus was tempted (in the desert) and we are told that He was tempted in every way that we are tempted, so it is not because of our fallen nature that we are tempted. I'm saying we should not make laws or add to the laws that God has given us. The serpent told the first lie, but Eve told the second when she added to what God had forbid.

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:16:43 +0000 http://ancienttruthmodernsound.com/the-things-of-god-that-destroy-us#comment-2783 That's a cool post, Frank. How do you reconcile those thoughts with "lead us not into temptation"? You seem to be suggesting that we put ourselves in temptation's way, and I would think that's usually a bad idea. Things like purposely walking by the cute girl's cubicle, even though you know you might think lustful thoughts by doing so. I would think staying far away would be better. That’s a cool post, Frank.

Here's an example: the really sexy clothes are in the stores frequented by young, mostly single women. The Women's section, mostly frequented by married women, has the frumpiest clothes imaginable. (Now maybe that's to hide the misuse of the good food that God gives us...) Here's my view of shopping heaven: the "Junior" stores would have clothes that are attractive and "cool" without being so tight, so low-cut or so short that the future husbands in the room are tempted to lust just by looking up. The "Women's" lingerie stores would have opaque walls so the single guys can't see in, you get carded for your marriage license at the door and you walk in to a store with clothes built to tempt your husband. Yeah, I went clothes shopping Saturday (but not for lingerie, blush).
