One Minute Sermon by Tamara Lowe

To be a Survivor in this Amazing Race with a Need for Speed, you need God's grace. And if you're Desperate like Housewives watching Days of our Lives, you can't cope without hope and that's not on a soap.
.
If you're looking to Oprah or Dr. Phil, you can shop non-stop or pop a pill but the void won't fill and the pain won't heal 'til you love the One that hung on a hill.
.
Kick 'em back in your La-Z-Boy Easy Chair watching Who Want's To Be A Millionaire. Nah! You're not gonna find it there. No American Idol or Council Tribal has the final answer that will satisfy you. CSI aint got a clue. SVU don't know what to do. Not the ER, the OC, nothing on a CD, TV, DVD, or MP3 can save you and me. CNN's got no Good News. Here's the headline, "YOU MUST CHOOSE."
.
It's not a simple life Paris Hilton. It's treading on thin ice living in sin. You can be an Apprentice for Donald Trump or eat Fear Factor fast food from a dump. You can be a Heavy Hitter or Wheel of Fortune winner, a Fox News no-spin spinner or flat out sinner, but you better check this life that you're livin' and make sure your sins are forgiven.
.
I bet you 50 Cents: Elvis done, came and went. And eventually every Black-Eyed Pea, Gwen Stefani, P-Diddy and Britney, every wanna-be on MTV with their Icy Bling, every Dixie Chick that sings, they all gonna see the King of Kings. I don't care if you're J Lo, Leno, or Bono. One thing you gotta know, someday you're gonna die bro. Then where are you gonna go?
.
Hey, I'm not talking some punk junk that is irrelevant like your Grandma's church from way back when. It's not some preacher feature on TBN that you need to be liking or listening. The real Superstar is Jesus Christ. He's the Way, He's the Truth, and the Life. One day he's going to split the sky. He is the Brightest Light and the Highest High.
.
And so, what I came to say and what I'm telling you is don't buy that stupid stuff they be selling you. It's all designed to fill your head and waste your space until you're dead. Here's the bottom line in my rhyme -- Give your life to God while there is still time.

.

Very Inspiring.

Sexual Healing

---~So lets look at the subject, I’ll tell you why I’m disgusted. So tonight SEX will be the topic of our discussion. So see sex isn’t evil, for marriage is why God made it. But, I know you’re gunna be like oh come on man that is so out dated! This is 2011 bro we do it for recreation. And heyy when you’re in college you do it while you’re wasted. But, I wanna question this logic. I wanna pop off the seal. I wanna question something that we already think is a done deal. So take a rape victim for example and once its revealed. When her bruises go away is she really healed? Nahh the damage has lasted, you can see it in her eyes. But, if it was abused recreation why did it ruin her life? I mean if sex is just for fun, why does it take such a tole? Maybe it’s because you don’t just have sex with a body, you have sex with a soul. Which for me there ain’t no premarital lovin. It ain’t just cause I don’t want a baby in the oven, it’s because I want to stay pure till the day that I am a husband. But see this wasn’t always me. That’s a guarantee. Let’s go back in the past and see who I used to be. Now, growing up I never learned how to treat a lady. If I learned one thing from my Dad, it would be to leave the mom ditch the baby. I don’t say that to get sympathy I say that to be real. ‘Cause according to stats about %40 of you know how that feels. So I let the TV show me what the music already told me. No Dad at home so I was letting MTV mould me. They sold me, so my life revolved around what girl I could get next. My life revolved around this girl named SEX. Sure I’d get her out on the text, but I have to confess, it seemed the longer we dated the bigger the mess. Then my girlfriend was late on that time of the month. If you know what I mean you’ll understand why my heart sunk. I started to think about abortion, I started to butter it up. But it’s funny they don’t make condoms for sin, you can’t just cover it up. It was just a scare but I knew a father I did not wanna be. It was funny how it was pro life until it happened to me. So dudes think twice before you desire her just because she’s hott. The truth is your body makes a promise whether you do or not. Sorry lets get back to the main topic. There are dudes who pressure her even when she says stop it. You’re not a man, you’re just a boy who can shave and put on a good cover. ‘Cause if you don’t respect her when she says no, then you certainly don’t love her. So start studying her heart and stop studying her booty or maybe invest the same amount of time in her that you do in Call Of Duty. What makes you think you can get this girl and all the sudden get naughty? ‘Cause you should have to touch her heart and mind first before you ever touch her body. She longs to be excepted, she longs to be loved. So, she gives herself up for another guys lust. She thinks it feels good at first, but then she gets bitter. ‘Cause the promise of satisfaction never delivers. She’s like I don’t want to, but it’s just too tempting. So she keeps opening up the present just to find that it’s empty. And then she starts to get confused. She keeps getting rejected by all these dudes. They tell her on a scale of 1-10 she is a 2. But that ain’t true. If she only knew, that Jesus, He loves and respects us. Even when you don’t want Him, He will never reject us. He heals us from that sin that totally infects us. He does what condoms can’t, He emotionally protects us. I know that some of you who hear this are gunna wanna endight me. But we gotta think rightly so I’m gunna ask politely. Can you even really say this isn’t true? Just slightly. I mean we touch the forbidden fruit not to realize that it is poison ivy. Now we’re numb and we’re itchin and we got a distorted psychy. You don’t think you just do it like your name was Nike. Not realizing the prices of you actions are oh so pricey. This last story though is for those who think they’re too dirty. This last story though is for those who think they’re unworthy. Read John chapter 8, the woman caught in adultery. The religious leader throws her naked in the temple while she yells don’t murder me! They say Jesus the law commands us to stone this woman and you hear the hate in their tone. Jesus pauses and says, “for who it is without sin, you can cast the first stone.” I mean can you imagine the sound of silence all around. You hear footsteps walk away and you hear stones hit the ground. Then Jesus kneels down and the woman thought it was her demise. He lifts up her face, you can see the grace within his eyes. He says, “I don’t condemn you, go and sin no more. I love you. I accept you. Mercy is yours.” But if you’re anything like me, you’ll be like no that can’t be. Why would he ever die for me? See but then I saw that scene where I was redeemed. He reached out and touched me and said Jeff you’re free! Instantly I was wearing the brightest robe I had ever seen. I was perfectly spotless, I was perfectly clean. So bright in fact I thought I’d go blind. I said whose is this and He said actually it’s mine. So think twice before you eat wat society feeds us. Come follow the king, His name is Jesus.~---

I found this touching and something worth sharing. A student wrote that speech.

Love Always & Forever,
