My current sign reads "God is not a has been but He is the I am".
This sign speaks to the eternal God being relevant today because he is, was and always will be "Iam". That is His name and it is given as a memorial forever.
In our society today the world system has been trying to make God irrelevant to life today, after all it's 2008 and man has advanced way passed needing any God to use as a crutch.
Well I live in the general Pittsburgh Pa. area and almost every day there are reports of people being shot and even killed. My question for consideration is this: If man has "evolved into such perfectness" - Why do we see so much violence, rape, murder, robery and blasphemy against God in our news everyday? Why are there wars and rumors of war in every area of the planet. Why can't men of differing colors, races, and creeds get along without strife?
Man is on a fast track colission course with destruction if there is a continuation on the same pathway of ignoring the only help that ther is for all man's woes.
Gos is not a has been but is the ever current, self existant God whose name is forever "I AM"!
Get Him involved with your life todat through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord of your life now.

The sign that was so much the reason for this blogspot is one that says that sex is not the problem but lust is.
To explain this one has only to go to Genesis where you find that sex was created good by God and God said it was good. He gave direction for man to be fruitful and multiply on the earth. So sex is not the problem but since man has a fallen nature and lusts after things in a manner that is selfish and even evil he wants things outside the pramaters that God set for sex which was in the man leaving his father and mother and cleaving to his wife -- only parameter. Outside of marriage sex is selfish and used to satisfy only a desire of the flesh regardless of the outcome for others or even yourself.
We live in a society where the family life has been redefined to such an extent that anything goes if you feel good about it for you. That mindset has no regard for others and uses the excuse of "it's my body and my life".
God gave us the following:
Exodus 20:1 - 17 (KJV) 1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Exodus 20:1 - 17 (KJV) 1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

Jesus boiled it down to the following:
Matthew 22:36 - 40 (KJV) 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
