Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll

And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. They forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asheroth. Judg. 3:7 ESV

Centuries ago when it was time to go to church, there was an excitement in the air and no one wanted to stay home. It was a convenient religion. Baal was the god of materialism and money. Asheroth was the god of sex and fertility. Molech was the god of fire. Worshipping these gods involved extravagant drunken orgies. You were required to sleep with prostitutes, each other's spouses, as well as man to man and woman to woman. This often produced unwanted pregnancies which were conveniently burned as a sacrifice (Lev 18:21).

I used to read the Bible and wonder how people could worship idols like this. It just seemed so foreign to me and distant. Then as I grew older the Lord revealed to me that it is rampant today. Thousands of years later, most of the world still chase these gods and Christians are not immune. It seems to be our default mode when not actively seeking God. Lust, adultery, the love of money, abortion and so much more. You don’t have to search hard to find all of this alive and well in the church today.

We need to keep Jesus at the center of our life so that He can bring balance to all areas. There is nothing wrong with money or sex, but it cannot be the most important thing in your life or it will become a snare to you. No one can serve two masters (Luke 16:13). If you have been caught in this trap, start putting God first in your life every day. Before long He will begin to guide you out of it and all the other things will fall into place. Don’t forget the Lord your God and begin to unknowingly serve the others.

Leisel, We will see a new Jerusalem after the 7 year tribulation, do you think? Or will the new Jerusalem be in Heaven? It seems like Jesus would bring us to Heaven during those 7 years of tribulation. We will get a foretaste until the 7 years are over and then come back to live on earth called the New Jerusalem. I am just guessing about that. I am not really a Prophet!

Well, according to the word of our Lord and God, there will be a new Jerusalem descending from above! That's good enough for me, I've learned patience from the Lord as I'm growing older, will be 74 in November! I'm waiting for Him to complete and finish His plan for all of us, and thanking Him for letting me be part of His plan! Take good care of yourself, dear sister! 🙏🤗❣️
