The title of our post this morning is the title of a new movie that came out last night. There has been very little hype about this movie. Why? Because it involves Planned Parenthood and abortion.

The movie is just under 2 hours long. It stars Ashely Bratcher, Brooks Ryan, Robia Scott, and Jared Lotz. The movie carries an “R” rating. They say that it is rated “R” due to the bloody scenes in the movie. I have seen as much blood, however, on evening television shows.

We who are Christians have a cunning, deceitful, and busy enemy. He seeks to turn those who follow God away. He even tempted our Lord. His name is SATAN. Concerning him and his activity, Scripture says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1 Peter 5:8-9).
Christian, notice three courses of action in the above text:

1. Be sober, that is, be aware, alert, and awake.
2. Be vigilant, that is, be watchful, careful, and on guard.
3. Resist, that is, struggle against, and don’t give into.

Church involvement is a beautiful concept vividly illustrated all throughout the pages of the New Testament. As Paul frequently depicted, the church is the very body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:1-31), and it operates similar to a physical body. Our physical bodies are composed of various body parts, and each body part plays an integral function for the overall good, health, and productivity of the body. Similarly, the church is composed of many members who are connected through Christ. Each member of the church, the spiritual body, has a unique role they can provide to help the church and expedite the work of Christ on earth. Church involvement, therefore, is being an active, productive, and working member of the body of Christ.

(From House to House, Heart to Heart)

The Bible reveals the sins of its heroes as it does its villains. Noah got drunk and was uncovered in his tent (Genesis 9:21). Abraham lied (twice) (Genesis 12; 20). Jacob cheated his brother out of his birthright (Genesis 27:34-40). Moses struck the rock (Numbers 20:11). Eli was a bad father (1 Samuel 3:13). David committed adultery and murder (2 Samuel 11). Solomon’s wives turned his heart from God (Nehemiah 13:26). Peter denied (Matthew 26:69-75). Judas betrayed (Luke 22:48). Thomas doubted (John 20:27-29). Paul persecuted (Acts 9).

What sin did Joseph commit? Having trouble coming up with one? You are not alone.
