If Jack Bauer Was My Pastor

I thought this post from The Blazing Center was a great fit for The Male Domain. He wrote it, I stole it, and I give Redeeming The Time credit for sharing it. Enough said, here it is:

The other day I was thinking, what if Jack Bauer became a Christian, and then suddenly felt a call to ministry?

What would his church be like? His counseling sessions? Here’s what I think it would be like…

• Counseling sessions would be fast. Really fast. Because he only has two minutes, and you better tell him what’s going on or he’s going to mash your knee with his oversized Bible.

• He would scream the word “now” a lot. As in, “Tell me why you were impatient with your wife. NOW!”

• Every counseling session would end with a confession, because Pastor Jack can pull a confession out of anybody. Even if you didn’t do it.

• In every elders meeting Jack would inform the elders that “he did what he had to”.

• He would answer every theological question the same way: “It’s complicated…”

• He would probably fake his death several times as sermon illustrations.

• Scripture references in sermons would be called “backup”.

• The church would meet in an abandoned warehouse. The ushers would also be snipers and would establish a perimeter around the building.

• At least three times a week Jack would be misunderstood by his congregation and have to go “dark” until he could clear his name.

What else would Jack Bauer do if he were a pastor?

"Lead Me" by Sanctus Real

A friend of mine thought this song would be a good fit for my blog, and after listening to it, I must say, I agree. Enjoy!

Teach Them to Work

Let's face it, getting children to work can be in itself, work. Children aren't born with a desire to do chores, they're born with a desire to eat s'mores! (Ok, bad attempt at humor.)

Seriously though, God has given children what they need to overcome their propensity to avoid hard work, they're called Mom and Dad.

As parents, one of the many virtues and attributes God has called us to pass along to our children is a good work ethic. A good work ethic will help your children immensely as they grow into adulthood. Few things are more repulsive than lazy adults.

The word of God has much to say about work. It calls us to work diligently, to work hard, to work smart, to work a lot, to work honestly, to work well with others, to work as unto the LORD, are you seeing the picture? A lazy person does none of these. In fact, when God created Adam, He gave him a job before He gave him a wife.

The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. -Genesis 2:15

therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. -Genesis 3:23

The word of God also has much to say about being lazy, for instance:

• Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. -Proverbs 10:4

• The lazy man does not roast his game, but the diligent man prizes his possessions. -Proverbs 12:27

• The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. -Proverbs 26:15

• If a man is lazy, the rafters sag; if his hands are idle, the house leaks. -Ecclesiastes 10:18

• We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. -Hebrews 6:12

These are just a sample of how God feels about lazy people, so please, do not allow your children (or yourself) to fall into this category. It paints an extremely poor picture of the God you represent. The LORD has called us to work six days and rest one; the culture has called us to rest six and perhaps, if necessary, work one.

We serve a mighty God, and one who worked to create the world we live in,

And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. -Genesis 2:2

so let us be found faithful in completing the tasks He has called us to. Our children must know the sinfulness of being lazy, the Godliness of being a good worker, and see Mom and Dad practicing what they preach!

~Strength and Honor~
