February 2010 Archives
The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are in their final week. The
performances have once again been tributes to the skill and dedication of those
who participate in the games. The sacrifice has been huge. As the numerous NBC
personal vignettes testify, many of these athletes have given their whole lives
to reach for Olympic glory. It is a heady goal to be acknowledged as the best
in the world--to win the gold medal. For many at the games, it is enough just participate
in the Olympics, to compete with the best, even if they don't win the gold. The
glory of the Olympics compels these athletes as well. But there is a problem
with pursuing Olympic glory. In the pursuit of medals there is the danger of
making this pursuit the most important goal in life. You see, the Living God
has demanded of man that He be most important in our lives. It is the pursuit
of God's glory that is to dominate human life. That is what people were
designed to be: pursuers of the glory of God. Romans 1:21-32 addresses this
very issue.

There are many concerns that compete for your thoughts. Paul's admonition in Philippians 4:8 is to think about things that are excellent.

Today's post continues material with material taken from Chapter three of Everyday Talk.
This is the next installment in a collection of posts that asks - What do You Think About? We looked previously at how to love your

Snow is blanketing the East Coast this weekend in record
amounts. Hundreds of thousands of homes are without power. Work will be
disrupted for companies, small businesses, schools, and even the government.
Thirty inches of snow simply cannot be ignored. Once again, the power of man
quickly pales in comparison to the power of God. The scientific explanation of
how snow occurs is not complex. The right combination of moisture, temperature,
and a low pressure system will result in snow. However, small deviations in any
of these three variables can result in ice or rain instead of snow. The
convergence of just the right factors results in major storms like the one
occurring now. For some this is a random convergence, occurring with all the certainty
of a roll of the dice. But for those who believe in the God of the Bible,
weather is not random at all. The Book of Job makes this statement:
The Super Bowl is a major cultural event. Today's post contains thoughts about this year's game. I'll also include links to previous posts about this game. It is important to think biblically about this highly visible part of our culture. Take a look at this post and the previous ones and let us know your thoughts!

The Super Bowl and Your Heart's Orientation
Greg Doyle is a writer for CBS Sports. He is a good sports reporter and I enjoy his work. I also believe that he represents what many think about the role of sports in our culture. As you may know, Tim Tebow and his mother are going to be featured in an ad sponsored by Focus on the Family during this year's Super Bowl. Mr. Doyle provides this description of what he thinks the ad will be like:
The final point that needs
to be covered concerning talking to your children about sex and marriage is the
joyous pursuit of sexual purity. Sexual purity is the eager and aggressive
commitment to trusting God's parameters for sexual conduct. This should be a
pursuit of joy. Sexual purity must not be defined only as a negative. The
pursuit is of sexual purity is not only to avoid what is wrong but to eagerly
pursue what is right. In this case, what is right is a passionate commitment to
engage in sexual matters as God has instructed in his Word. Such purity leads
to an active worship of God in all of life. That is something that you can talk
about without hesitation with your children. Trusting God with their sexuality
is the absolute best thing that anyone can do. You do not have to discuss every
area of sexual perversion in order to prepare children for combating sexual
sin. To be sure, you should be prepared to discuss questions about the sexual
sin that is rampant in our culture, but even this must be in the context that
God's ways are superior to the natural practice of this world.
