The SuperBowl is on here in the hotel room, but I'm not even watching. I hate football. I'm doing some puzzles, reading and catching up online.

Just trying to be positive. I work very hard to stay positive and it's not easy considering today I've come on an "Apostolic" forum and find people talking about worldly entertainment. Sad.

But I'm keeping my head up.

Ok, this made me laugh. I doubt if there is anyone on here who is SPOTLESS. We are all striving toward being Christ-like, but I don't think any of us has attained.

So that makes it ok??? So if I just get drunk once in a while, if I sleep around only occasionally, if I only rob banks during even-numbered years, I'll be fine?

Let me rephrase that, (although I don't think you will be satisfied with anything I say) Sherri does a lot for the kingdom and people of God, she has helped so many churches overseas-I know she has a prayer life...not just being busy.

I am sure she is spotless before God.

Watching the Superbowl is the same as Adultery and Drunkenness, Theft and Robbery?

Isn't there something in the book about righteous judgement?

Speak for yourself. But even if you're right, does that mean we shouldn't try? We're supposed to just give in because we don't think we're spotless? maybe I should just head down to the bar and get drunk as a skunk since I'm not spotless anyway.

We wrestle not. Sounds like to me he was saying we shouldn't.

"But we've cast out devils in your name, we've helped poor churches overseas" and He'll respond, "I never knew you." Don't try to impress God with your good deeds. He doesn't only want us to do things for Him, there are a few things He does NOT want us to do and the Body of Christ needs to spend more time thinking about that!
