Hi Peeps,Today’s Quote
“The sexuality of a person is regulated from the eyes, imagination, and mind of a person and I refuse to glare, fantasize, or touch things that will cause me to sin or do not belong to me in my marriage.” ~ Jon Barnes
Porn
Pornography, gambling, infidelity, fornication, lying, cheating, and stealing and all sinful. These are personal habits and choices that are hard to get rid of. Like, crack, coke, meth, opioids, alcohol, drugs and other abusive behaviors that exploit people numbs the mind, kills the heart, and robs the soul, avoid these things at all cost. Ask God to give you better things to do with your time to enjoy what is yours and not mine.
Access
Easy access and free samples seem harmless to the mind of a child, but you are no longer a child and should know better. The things you do now, your children and family will copy, which may be a snare to the next generations to come. Your depression, addictions, and medical complications will come from your parents’ inability to solve these basic problems and your lust for copying stupid activities of old. Lazy people don’t want honest solutions, otherwise, they would use them.
Human
Human trafficking of the mind is at an all-time high with drugs, sex, and bad music messages that robs the innocence of our youth and society. We must be proactive and vigilant in explaining these things to our kids, families, and friends because it is a cultural, worldwide, epidemic. Let us not be drunk, confused, blinded, or ignorant in the wicked ways of our mainstreamed, worldwide, Internet culture. Take a stand, protect the future of your family, and treat sin like an opioid addiction.
Today’s Question
Are you fighting the good fight of faith in front of your computer, TV, colleagues, friends, family, and enemies or has the sex appeal of laziness, substance abuse, dishonest habits, and lust clouded your judgment?

The Lord Challenges Job
38 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
2 “Who is this that questions my wisdom
with such ignorant words?
3 Brace yourself like a man,
because I have some questions for you,
and you must answer them.

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell me, if you know so much.
5 Who determined its dimensions
and stretched out the surveying line?
6 What supports its foundations,
and who laid its cornerstone
7 as the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

8 “Who kept the sea inside its boundaries
as it burst from the womb,
9 and as I clothed it with clouds
and wrapped it in thick darkness?
10 For I locked it behind barred gates,
limiting its shores.
11 I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come.
Here your proud waves must stop!’

12 “Have you ever commanded the morning to appear
and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
13 Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth,
to bring an end to the night’s wickedness?
14 As the light approaches,
the earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal;
it is robed in brilliant colors.[b]
15 The light disturbs the wicked
and stops the arm that is raised in violence.

Tell me about it if you know!

and where does darkness go?
20 Can you take each to its home?
Do you know how to get there?
21 But of course you know all this!
For you were born before it was all created,
and you are so very experienced!

22 “Have you visited the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of hail?
23 (I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war.)

25 “Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
26 Who makes the rain fall on barren land,
in a desert where no one lives?
27 Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground
and make the tender grass spring up?

30 For the water turns to ice as hard as rock,
and the surface of the water freezes.

31 “Can you direct the movement of the stars—
binding the cluster of the Pleiades
or loosening the cords of Orion?
32 Can you direct the constellations through the seasons
or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens?
33 Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you use them to regulate the earth?

and cause it to strike as you direct?

Who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38 when the parched ground is dry
and the soil has hardened into clods?

and satisfy the young lions’ appetites
40 as they lie in their dens
or crouch in the thicket?
41 Who provides food for the ravens
when their young cry out to God
and wander about in hunger?
