Once On The Net.....

Do people actually think?  I mean really, think about this!  Once you put something out on the internet the likelihood of it ever going away or getting lost is pretty small.  This week, as young as it is, has really driven home this point to me.....

One lady in my church posted on Sunday how nice it was to wake up with boyfriend in bed with her.  Then on Monday having a major rant because people asking if they were engaged or not.  Uhm, like being engaged somehow removed the stain of adultery?  Let's be honest here!

Also from this same church were postings concerning gossip in the church.  The whiner being the one gossiped about, and she just had to throw all of the tantalizing bits into her rant.  Really, is shame something that is unknown anymore?  Then she went on to gossip about the suspected gossiper, to which many replies posted even more gossip.  So, gossiping about gossip, isn't gossip?  Hello....

I particularly was angered over a site where some of the young and not so young men where sharing their fantasies concerning some women in the public spotlight.  Ok, I take that back, it was just their bodies - it had nothing to do with them being women.  Bleech!  Will American males ever discover that females are more than just a pair of breasts!  Good Lord!  What is the problem in this country over the concept of breasts?

There is a real need for Christians to wake up and discover that sin, no matter how you may rationalize it, is still sin!  And surely is not to be bragged about....especially on the internet!

1 Peter 2:9 - 11
⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
    ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
    ¹¹ Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
