Comment on What’s Been Happening… by Glenn Jarrett

Hody Mody! I find it hard to believe that you are married. Saw your dad the other day and he said the wedding was great, but that he’s broke. You might want to help him out a little bit there. Tell your mom and sister hello for the Jarretts. I still remember when your family served the church on Grand Cayman. A group of us from MBC went down there for a campaign and every time someone would say something about “Miami” you would say, “It’s not your ami, it’s my daddy’s ami.” What a hoot! LOL.
Congratulations!
Glenn

Congratulations Daniel! We would have liked to have been at your wedding…I’m sorry we couldn’t be…but I’m glad you were surrounded by friends and family. Having watched you grow up I’m proud of the man you are… love your family so much…and can’t wait to meet this wonderful woman you’re bragging about. Never stop bragging about her. I always admire a man who brags about his wife.

Great point, by the way. I think we all must lead the way in loving others … which sometimes means letting someone know they’re not acting in a very loving manner.

Pornography can be defined in many ways, but in common parlance, it usually means material that is sexually explicit and intended primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal (Cline, 2000). pornography leads men to broad-ranging sexual addictions, breakups in their marriages, and severe depression. and the ever-increasing number of people hooked on pornography indicate that the solution is not quite that quick and simple–and that over and over, the pattern is the same: addiction, desensitization, escalation, and acting out. http://marriageandfamilies.byu.edu/issues/2002/September/trap.aspx

Thank you for the comments everybody. If problems in the church like this weren’t so ridiculous and devastating, they would be somewhat funny.

I hate to read that. I bet they would have had a problem with Paul’s epistles being read to them at an assembly. Think about it, we have so many precautions for what should be said that we would keep Jesus and Paul out of the pulpit.

Paul would not be able to preach about sexual sins (which he addressed often in his letters), and Jesus would not be allowed to serve because he wasnt dressed up like the priests under the old law (no sandals are allowed on a preacher).

I understand your frustrations. Keep up the good work. THe ones you help the most are the ones you may never hear from. I hope to see you at BCC sometime!

Great post. It is too bad that so many people are hiding their heads in the sand about what is all around them. I recently heard about a great website called covenanteyes.com that is supposed to be very useful in helping people who have problems viewing pornography on the Internet and also a great tool for parents and others to monitor computer use. This type of software would not be necessary if this was not a problem. If we don’t train young people the reason why this is so destructive then they will not learn anything except dos and don’ts. Maybe some of those feeling offended are in truth having their toes stepped on? Keep on preaching it!

Preachers need to be preaching on real problems and porn is a real problem. If some people were upset that you spoke about porm, I wonder how they would react if you told them that their teens were sexually active. These are not problems that we can ignore and hope they will go away.

Excellent post, Daniel. Keep on writing. I know you’re busy, but you have a natural talent to develop there! This is an important subject…no matter who gets offended by it. (And my guess is that some who are pretending to be offended feel close to being ‘outed’.)

Great stuff Daniel–I often say we are more worried about what takes place in the building on one hour than the fact that folks are dying ion sin all around us!

Hey Daniel,

Don’t let that phone call bother you. Your emphasis here is right on. More light needs to be shed about this dark world.

I remember speaking at a youth rally when I was probably around your age. My topic was “Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll” of all things. I addressed it without flinching, but did try to lighten it up with a few humurous stories. An old brother afterward- all red in the face- accused me of being too “flippant” with the topic.

Everyone will not always appreciate your best, honest efforts, but God will.
