God expects and has made provision for us to see every person in our world the way He does. Objectifying and assessing the opposite sex or the same sex according to their looks, build, etc., much less violating/engaging sexually with them is no longer an option for a believer in Christ.

Pastors have a strong fleshly tendency to get off on tangents and to lose sight of what we have clearly/biblically been called to do, especially to focus on.

Often as God seeks to establish His people and His kingdom on the earth, He chooses to use the natural God given bond of family. Or to put it another way, Family relationships are worth fighting for because God has often accomplished great things through them in human history.

Every good thing God has planned and intended for humanity on this earth is dependent to some degree upon the institution or relationship of marriage between a man and a woman functioning on all cylinders. No wonder Satan and his demons have gone after it with all of their diabolical fury.

Speaking of work, did you know that we can actually make the doctrines of scripture more palatable to those around us who do not yet know God by the way we work?

In one sense all of our sicknesses and diseases are a result of the fall of man and entrance of sin into the world. But there are times where specific sicknesses and/or diseases are a result of specific sins.

I find it interesting that in Ezekiel 34:1-4 his rebuke starts off in non specific prophetic kind of language, but then in vs. 4 he gets very specific. And the first two specific things mentioned have to do with sickness, “Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased (literally “sick”) you have not healed…”

Isaiah 53 actually abounds in hope for those battered and bruised by sin and by sickness. Believers throughout the centuries have come to it time and time again for solace and assurance that as messed up and beaten up and diseased as we sometimes are (and most of us are more messed up than we realize), His provision for us on the cross is more than enough.

" Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.” Prov. 3:8 God is very much into our physical health. And He has designed us so that the more we pursue spiritual health or godliness, the more we will experience physical health and well being (cf. III John 2).
