Making It Plain

I am using this title to stimulate interest, to be honest, and for the subject matter. It is something that is not usually taught in a large forum of people and practically non-existent in church. Which leads "baby" Christians to do what they see others do that are not in the faith. It makes that Spiritual walk all the more difficult to maintain when "world" values are in place. I don't quite have a handle on why it isn't something talked about in ministry other than old stodgy feelings of embarrassment, different positions that can be difficult to talk about, or the idea if you put a carpet over the pile of mess it will all go away. Its hard to pretend a lump isn't under the carpet when one keeps tripping over it. Just deal with it already! I am going to make this as plain as I possibly can, in the name of Jesus. If there is no minister that will lay out the ground rules about sex, at least you can talk to each other and pray about the matter. The H...

Of course we don't think of ourselves as ever being stuipid. It's always the other guy... and yet without telling anyone some of our actions makes the other guy feel better. I cannot count how many times I have heard the most selfish, arrogant, foolish, things people say and do in  regular conversation. Not the clients I've counseled; not really television; everyday lives of people calling themselves Christian with justifications (sounds like excuses) for doing and believing such nonsense.

You know, God being good and the greater one on the inside of you or should I just remind you of what your mother use to say: if you don't have anything nice to say, don...

It is no wonder that the polygraph is inadmissible in court. It has been deemed as not a direct use of determining whether someone is telling the truth or not. In fact those who have agreed to be under the rule of such a test and know they have lied, can google the ways to fool it. If it has been thought of to use to detect lying, the liars would find a way to either refute it or make others believe that it doesn't work. By means of the purpose of dating and Christianity, the polygraph's use is to let others see what God already knew - you don't have faith and are not trusting Him. The subject matter of this blog came when I was watching a well known talk show whose fame came about with paternity tests and using the polygraph. In the last season, after keeping from the show for more than a year, I have seen them use different questions on the person suspect of cheating, lying, or just being the same person as he/she was when they first met.
