Counting the Cost of Sexual Immorality

I’m scared of sexual immorality. Am I planning on committing adultery? No!! I love my wife, she is more precious to me than anyone or anything else on this earth. I also know that God’s plans for sex are within marriage and that this is good. So why am I scared? Because I know the deceitfulness of my own heart and that I’m capable of great sin given the opportunity. My prayer is that God would keep me (and you) from impurity.

no!

Randy Alcorn and Alan Hlavka have thought through specific consequences resulting from the immorality of a pastor. This really is essential reading. Here’s my plan:

  1. Re-read Proverbs 6 (see below) and God’s wisdom on fleeing from adultery;
  2. Re-read Alcorn’s blog post;
  3. Copy it and customise it for me;
  4. Print it out and put it in some prominent places;
  5. Pray.

It might be wise to do the same!

The Carriageworks, Eveleigh

Close followers on twitter would know that one of my favourite cafes is at the Carriageworks in Eveleigh. The Carriageworks is more than just a cafe, it’s a “a bold new arts centre, dedicated to the development and presentation of the contemporary arts.” The building is over 100 years old and was originally used to build trains. So it’s a cool combo of old school with new school. I took Rowena and Sam there last week and got some good (for a mobile phone) photos in one of the warehouses.

Goodbye September 09 | Hello October 09

Hey party people. Good news – we have the internet back at home! 2.5 months without it was a little bit inconvenient. I don’t want to use this blog to publicly shame our old internet and telephone provider (if you’re looking for internet and want to steer clear of them, ask me in person), but it’s worth saying that TELSTRA have been super helpful in getting the phone line working again and TPG likewise have been rockin the suburbs getting the internet flowing again. Woot. While on the subject of corporate advertising – we’ve recently changed mobile companies to VODAFONE. I have that free nights and weekends to other Vodafone peeps. Let me know if you’re also on Vodafone.
