Christian Music: My Superman's "Death Blow" To My Sinful Doomsday

In the only graphic novel I ever truly enjoyed, Doomsday, an invincible monster out to destroy Metropolis, mows down everything in his path until he runs into the Last Son of Krypton.  Right when Doomsday seems to have won, Superman bursts through the rubble and strikes him down with one final death blow, sacrificing his own life in the process.  In my own life, I have one sin which is my own personal "Doomsday." It completely ruined my life, until I accidentally stumbled upon a Christian song that literally turned the "Off Switch" when it came to my character flaw.  Jesus Christ, my Lord, my God, and my Superman, sent me a clear message: Christian Music is His "deathblow" to my sinful behavior.  So in order to spread the gospel through defending Christ-centered one-man, one-woman marriages, I am currently purifying my soul with Christian music.  "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus Our Lord" (Romans 6:23, ESV)

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Phil 4:8, ESV)

Christ-Centered Marriage: One Of The Best Evangelism Tools That We Have

Fact: The clearest example of God's Triune Nature in creation is one man, one woman, united in marriage by Jesus Christ Himself.  A complementary-gender couple that is completely dedicated to Jesus Christ most clearly represents the eternal and absolute truth that "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." (Gen 1:27, ESV).
This means that, when it comes to preaching the gospel, Christ-centered marriages are one of our most powerful tools for showing people the truth:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."

This means that if we protect Christ-centered marriages at all costs (which is our responsibility whether we are honored to receive a spouse or not), the Holy Spirit will use us to ensure that billions of lost souls see the Real Jesus Christ and are spared from the fate that we, as human beings, have earned for declaring war on God, which is as follows:

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8, ESV)

That list includes every human being ever born, myself included, excluding Jesus Christ.  For this reason, I have dedicated myself to protecting Christ-centered marriages at all costs, even if it costs me my life.  Please pray for me as I take this stand for my Savior, Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the only God who has, was, and will ever exist!

A Prayer For Isabella Chow

Per Sophia Lee at WORLD Magazine, Isabella Chow abstained from voting for a measure that would have challenged Christ's sovereignty over gender identity, and was persecuted as a result.  Photo (for fair use purposes) is from https://world.wng.org/2018/11/convictions_and_consequences

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for giving Isabella Chow the courage to speak the truth in love regarding human sexuality before the University of California, Berkley Student Senate.  Thank you for empowering her to stand firm in spite of malicious and unwarranted attacks on her character.  I pray that you continue to empower her to show a godly witness by recognizing that you, the Creator of All Things, are the One Who determines what our gender is before we are even born.  I pray that you use her to preach the gospel and lead others to Christ through this trial, so that they are saved from the Lake of Fire and receive eternal life.  "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus Our Lord" (Romans 6:23).

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray this prayer, amen!

For all believers who are reading this, please pray this on behalf of Isabella Chow as she stands for our Savior, Jesus Christ.  For more about her brave and costly stand for Christ's sovereignty over human sexuality, please read the following article by Sophia Lee at WORLD magazine.

Staying Alive! What Purity And Gun Safety Have In Common

"Whatever you do, never step past that line." One of my friends told me before he taught me how to use a handgun at the shooting range yesterday, "Even if you drop your gun, don't go get it.  Just leave it there."

I understood the reason why instinctively: doing so would get me seriously injured or killed.

A gun is a powerful tool which can either be used for good (hunting for food and self-defense) or evil (murdering innocent people).  Likewise, sex is a powerful tool, which can either be used for good (forming a lifelong friendship with your wife/husband, and, even better, experiencing the joy of raising children) or evil (crushing other people's hearts for your own personal gain, or worse, torturing people through unwanted, violent attacks).  Like a shooting range, when it comes to our sexuality, there is a certain line we should never cross.  That line is a Christ-centered marriage to a loyal, God-fearing, opposite-gender spouse.  If you stay on the right side of that line (within marriage), you get the excitement and thrill of training with one of the most powerful tools God has given you.  If you step "out onto the range" (i.e. outside of marriage, and this includes premarital "banging", pun intended), then you risk getting your head blown off.  Most of us know instinctively that this will happen, but we temporarily "lose our crap" when we run into either:

A) A stacked 18-year-old babe with a "badonkadonk."
B) A ripped 27-year-old stud with the full "package" deal 

Then we cross the line at the sexual shooting range, anyway, and become the headless horseman's long lost sibling.   

The scariest part is that, with a gun, the consequences are immediate (you die).  With sex, that's not necessarily the case: medical technology may prevent baby mama drama and biological MMA fighters known as "STDs" opening a can of whoop-tushy on your genitalia.  But it will not prevent:

1) Divorce
2) Psycho exes
3) Jail time if your young hottie turns out to be a psycho and nails you with a phony rape charge, hoping to get Big Bubba to do her dirty work for her.
4) PTSD if your handsome, older crush gets mad that you won't do "those things" he has seen in hardcore porn and makes you do them anyway by raping you.
5) Spouses with guns if you are the "other man/woman"

Do not get riddled with the bullets of drama at the sexual shooting range!  Stay on the right side of the line, and enjoy a lifetime of safe thrills by banging your lifelong best friend: your spouse!    

"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." (Hebrews 13:4)               

My Prayer For San Bernardino

Dear Heavenly Father,

Yesterday, an inexplicably evil attack was carried out at the Inland Regional Medical Center in San Bernardino, California.  Fourteen people were killed and seventeen wounded by two cowardly psychopaths.  I do not know whether or not this was a terrorist attack, Heavenly Father.  However, in light of a similar attack in Paris (combined with the fact that, according to the LA Times, two armed suspects in the slaughter are named "Syed Farook" and "Tashfeen Malik"), this is serious cause for concern.  At the same time, if this is proven to be an act of terror, I pray that You give us the wisdom to remember that not everyone who shares the heritage of those who carry out acts such as this condones them, or subscribes to the ideology that drives them. 

Please forgive those of us who have attacked Your Character with bitter phrases such as "God Isn't Fixing This."  I do not know whether or not this tragedy was permitted as divine judgment for our current state of moral decay or is simply a painful reminder of how evil the world that we live in truly is.  I do acknowledge, on behalf of my country, the possibility that, in spiritually deporting You from our society, we may have forfeited Your protection from our enemies (which we have taken for granted for so long).  In addition to comfort and healing for the victims, and justice to those who planned out this horrific crime, I pray that you soften the hearts of my fellow Americans so that they can hear the gospel and repent, so that they can spend eternity in heaven through faith in Jesus Christ.  I also pray that you forgive Christians such as myself who have repeatedly failed to stand up for and live out the gospel, and strengthen us (as well as those who have faithfully served you) to tell our countrymen about the only One who can truly save and protect them: Jesus Christ, the Messiah!

I pray this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen!     

Anderson Cooper Prayer Project Complete! December Project: Myself!

It took several catch-up sessions, but I completed all of my November prayers for Anderson Cooper's salvation.  On top of that, I finished the rest of my novel for NaNoWritMo (excluding some blanks for when I didn't have a Naming Book handy for new characters).  That being said, I have decided to make this month's prayer project about me, so that I can finally defeat my Achilles' Heel, which I have nicknamed "Bane", after the supervillain who broke Batman's back.

Even after we are saved, Christians still have certain sins that constantly trip them up.  Now don't panic: I am still a virgin, and am determined to maintain my Chastity Wrestlemania "Streak" intact until my wedding night.  That being said, my spiritual "Bane" (which will be revealed in a future memoir called "That Was Then, This Is Now"), is kicking my butt, and has since I started fighting it nine years ago.  For that reason, I am praying for fifteen minutes a day that Jesus Christ strengthens me so that I can crush my spiritual "Bane" once and for all, and so my life can finally be rid of all things that destroy my ability to be an effective witness for him.   

The Paris Attacks: My Prayer For Healing And Justice

Dear Heavenly Father,

My heart bleeds for the 128 people who were ruthlessly murdered in Paris on November 13, 2015, as well as for the many survivors of that cowardly attack.  Please bring comfort and healing to the families of the people who were killed, as well as to those who have survived this tragedy.  Please provide President Hollande with the wisdom to defend the nation of France from further attacks and with courageous allies to help him bring justice to those who orchestrated and carried out this unjustifiable act of savagery.  Please use this tragedy to unite the nations of the world against ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorist organizations who dishonor You by claiming that they act in Your Name when they oppress their own countrymen and foreigners with deception, intimidation, and barbarism.  Most of all, Heavenly Father, please use this tragedy to guide people to your Son, Jesus Christ, Who will allow all those who believe in Him to enjoy peace, joy, love, and eternal life on the New Earth after He crushes evil once and for all.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.  Amen.
