Who is Kidding Who
Think about Nick and Jessica's (Simpson) show €The Newlyweds.€ Have you ever seen that show before? You talk about sending missed messages! Poor thing. Man, you know who I really feel sorry for? I feel sorry for Jessica's parents. Man, those, those are sad people. Sad people. And what's so sad is that they even say they're Christ followers. Now, I'm not going to judge them. I don't know if they are Christ followers or not, because you know, I'm not God. But Jesus says he will recognize us by our fruits. And I hope if you know Jessica or somebody, send them the DVD. Because I think Nick and Jessica would make great Christian people. But think of the values of that show. Here's Jessica who says she's, you know, a Christian, dropping the F-Bomb here and there and she's drunk all the time she's wearing super revealing clothing and I€¦ You be the judge.
But see, parents? It takes work, and we don't want to work. We say, €Just watch the DVD. Just go to the movies. I don't care what you do, just watch whatever channel you want to. It won't affect you.€ What?! Look at our culture.
Here's the third question I ask myself regularly. Am I taking advantage, and I ask myself this, of the assistance of the local church? Am I really taking advantage of the assistance of the local church? A lot of us talk it, but are we walking it? I make no bones about it. I'll say it again. Fellowship Church has helped us rear our four kids. Helped us. Children's ministry. They have helped us. We have four kids, and it thrills me for them to come and say, €Dad, we learned this. Dad, we learned that.€
The student ministry has helped. They've partnered with Lisa and I. They helped us raise our kids. And they talk about just open and honest stuff. How to pray, how to read the Bible, this gift called sex, this thing called attraction. And its just amazing what's happening over there.
So we have used that and put a lot of our time and a lot of our money behind Fellowship Church personally to make that happen. And I'm so glad I did. And I'm doing it now.
Here's the fourth question. It's getting more positive isn't it? It's getting more positive. Fourth question. Ed Young, I ask myself this, €am I making a difference in my corner of the world?€
