A Confused Society

I'm amazed at people today. With the recent deaths of so many celebrities taking place lately, I'm stunned at what many call a "good person". We want to weep over the loss of God given abilities in a man to sing and dance, yet we overlook or dismiss the lack of character in a persons life. To take it one step further, we don't even acknowledge that some were very sick individuals living a perverse and warped life. Instead of feeling shame and disgust at the actions and choices in someones life, we cry over the least important issues. We are numb to sin and it's effects because we are rapidly losing our sense of morality and conviction against offending God. We may overlook sin, God does not! He holds us personally responsible for our actions and lack of action standing up for right, and standing against wrongs. Right is still right and wrong is still wrong, no matter what we may think.

A Deeper Walk

Several weeks ago, I attended a Men's Discipleship Walk. I had no idea of the transforming power that loving on others can produce. Men doing nothing other than serving and caring for others. Praying together, singing together and crying together. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed and experienced. Personal testimonies of how God saved men.
I saw gang bangers, outlaw bikers, drug addicts, alcoholics, professionals, family men and many others that God had rescued from a deadly and destructive lifestyle of sin, to new life living in the forgiveness of God. I thought I knew the depth and reality of the love of God, but I was wrong.
Four days of fellowship with other men looking to love God, by loving and serving others. What a truly amazing God I serve! I departed from the campground with tears on my face. I would be forever changed by seeing Jesus in the eyes of others as they waved goodbye. Today, I have a deeper walk and a closer walk with my Savior, my Lord and my King.
