Not a good day to be a denomination (or appear in the eyes of the world to be a “denomination” even if you think you are not…that is for my Church of Christ friends who still live in denial about what they are 
). Not a good day to be viewed as taking over the political system for Jesus via the Republican party. But not a bad day for faith. Interesting.
Implications?
Read Numbers 5:11-31. Seriously. Go do it!
ISN’T THAT WHACK!!?
Fair warning – don’t marry a guy who struggles with excessive jealousy.
Someday I’m going to preach a message series out of Leviticus and Numbers…just for my benefit!!!
I still have so much more to learn.

“The idea that you can trust Christ for the hereafter but have no intention to obey him now is an illusion generated by a widespread unbelieving ‘Christian culture.’ In fact, you can no more trust Jesus and not intend to obey him than you can trust your doctor and not intend to follow his or her advice. If you don’t intend to follow the advice, you simply don’t trust the person.” - Dallas Willard
Of course I’m just jealous because I don’t have the hair to do this…but apparently the “Adam Lambert” look is becoming a popular look among worship pastors.
Car in front of us. You can’t see it very well in the picture but it has a pink bumper sticker that says, “Yes…I’m a b*&#ch, just not your b*@&ch” and next to that…the Jesus fish symbol. Nice.
