Is There Profit If There Is Shame?

October 24, 2019

From today’s reading…

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.

But what profit did you get then

from the things of which you are now ashamed?

For the end of those things is death.”

We’re staying in Romans 6 and picking up where we left off yesterday.

It looks like using our bodies for impure, lawless actions has been an issue for at least 2,000 years, but hey, those old fuddy-duddies were just trying to repress women and control men.

St. Hugh Hefner and Blessed Gloria Allred and the Book of Hustler have COME TO SET US FREE of such tyrannical thinking.

So YOU GET BREAST IMPLANTS! AND YOU GET HAIR EXTENSIONS! AND YOU GET FAKE TANS AND EYELASHES!

What’s that? The father of your child won’t marry you…or pay child support…or return your calls? And your unsolicited DMs would make Larry Flynt blush?

What’s that? Now that you have a receding hairline and a little extra around the midsection the bar flies only hang around as long as you’re buying rounds and you feel lonely, used, and lost?

You have a choice in how to live both this life and the next. Live by the sword/sin, die by the sword/sin.

Eternity is a long time to live without air conditioning, which is where we’ll spend it if we choose not to… 

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.
