I find myself asking when will it stop, how far will we let it go.  This past week Kathy Griffin decided to take freedom of speech to an extreme level as she blasphemed the name of Jesus and then concluded the speech with sexual vulgarity directed at our Lord.  I am not speaking out against freedom of speech; I am questioning the lack of outrage that was produced by what was said with that freedom.  I try to watch the news every morning and then again for a few minutes each evening.  It was not however on the news that I heard about this incident.  It was during our Sunday school class as some one made reference to it.  You better believe that if such an attack were spewed out against any other group than Christians, the media would have been in an uproar.  Take for example the Don Imus incident.  I am not saying that his derogatory remarks toward these women had any bases, but look what happened.  The media talked about it for weeks and he even lost his job over those comments.  Has Comedy Central pulled the plug on Griffin?  They have not and they will not because she is bringing in the big bucks for them.  Out of curiosity I pulled up the speech online.  I thought at least there would be an awkward silence from the audience as these words were said, maybe even a ‘boo’.  Not only did I not hear the silence, I heard laughter and applause.  Friend if that is comedy I do not want any part of it.  One of the most wonderful things about this country is the freedom we enjoy.  Freedom of speech is part of that freedom.  I would not dare take that away from anyone.  What is confusing though is how one can blaspheme the name of Jesus and get applause but when a preacher stands in the pulpit and preaches against sins such as homosexuality people want to have him arrested for a hate crime.  People it is time that we open our eyes.  It is time that we take advantage of our freedom to speak and let our voices be heard for Jesus.  And just as a note to Ms. Griffin, had God not given you breath in your lungs you would have no award.

     A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.  Eze 36:26

     I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to get a web site template to do what I wanted it to do.  I tried everything I knew to do but could not get it to behave the way I wanted it to.  I changed the appearance, I moved some things around, I even tried to rename some things.  Still nothing.  Finally I opened the template in my web site editor and went inside, rewrote some code and what do you know it was just like I wanted it.     I began to think; this is the same think that happens when a person gets saved.  We can change the outward appearance, we can move things around, and we can even try and rename our sin to something more attractive.  The fact is until we invite Jesus to come into our heart and reprogram us, there is no hope.  We must have the old heart cleansed and allow God to write the code he desires upon our hearts.  We must be born again.
