Did you know that LIONS have taste buds specifically tuned to the diet they are designed for? They cannot taste Skittles, and they MUST taste meat.

Similarly, we are designed for God. Our hearts are set on Him, even if we don't quite have it all figured out. Like the lion's taste receptors, ours are specifically tuned towards God and flavor and satisfaction is found only in Him.

Listen and subscribe 7 minutes as we discover that you have the taste buds of a LION.

There is something special about Sunday church. It is supposed to be SOOO special, that to be prevented from attending would be a grief to you. This could happen from church discipline, illness, or force of habit.

It should be painful because it is there that "the Lord walks in the midst of your camp." That is, His presence is uniquely and powerfully present in the center of His people. Missing church should hurt so much, that I will FLY to the Assembly of God this Sunday. See you there. Subscribe, comment, like.

Would it sting to NOT be able to go to church? If assembling is a privilege, then being prevented from attending should hurt.

It is even used as a disciplining tool in the Old and New Testaments. The ultimate ecclesiastical censure is to be banished.

Let's value, appreciate and profoundly treasure our access to the Assembly of God.

Today we’ll hear that The moral principles of sexual conduct are the same today as they were 3500 years ago.

This should lead us to a reverence, humility, and silence and as we come to this topic.

Likely, you have been spared the just punishment that surrounds this topic, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE INNOCENT. You have been spared because the perfectly innocent, JESUS, has come to bear your punishment.

Sorry no video today. Just audio:

Does God care about what I wear? How about cross-dressing in either apparel or behavior? Of note, our image bearing of God Himself is reflected even in our clothing.

God loves maleness. God loves femaleness.

Your maleness or your femaleness are inseperable to your image bearing. To confuse this is to disorder that which was originally designed to be ordered. So, carry your maleness or your femaleness proudly and clearly, for by doing so you reverentially carry the very image of God.

If you want to learn about LOVE, you'd best look to the OX. Like a stray OX, Love is inconvenient, Love is intrusive and you will be tempted to ignore it.

Similarly, a decision to love is inconvenient, intrusive and you’ll be tempted ignore engaging in the whole business.

What is love like? If it involves a wandering OX, then run to the OX.

Crucifixion is a nasty business. It involves the torture and killing of a condemned person. But it also can tarnish the whole land that it occurs in, if the deceased is not buried on the same day. Their bodies "shall not remain all night on the tree".

The reason that Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and the Jewish authorities acted expeditiously to kill and care for the three on the crosses we are familiar with is because of what it says in Deuteronomy. Once again, Deuteronomy echoes through the ages. Listen as we visit the cross.

So how many wives is best? The answer is ONE, but it is a little more complicated than that. Polygamy is mentioned and acknowledged in the Bible, but it is never endorsed.

What about the women who are spared from the destruction of their cities in war? What about the children and their inheritance for those with two wives. It is complicated, but join me for 7 minutes while we don't ignore it.
