All of us face these challenges. We need to lead from within the fight that we face ourselves. The Bible says, “Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man” (Proverbs 27:20). Sheol is an open mouth, always consuming life, day and night — a mass graveyard never filled. That is our eyes. Our eyes are insatiable — always roving, never fully satisfied by anything in this world. Which means, again, our great enemy is not the seduction of our spectacle makers. Our great enemy is our own insatiable eye-lust — my own eyes, your own eyes. Our church meetings are not a theater for passive viewers to come and be entertained by professional ministers and musicians and stage performers for an hour. No, this is a gathering — the people of God together in active communion with one another, ears awake, and captured (together) by unseen glories.

Shame and the taboo around sex actually contribute negatively to [the problem of] sexual harassment, [which] we’re now putting to the forefront with the #MeToo movement. If we’re not able to talk about sex in a positive way, how are we supposed to talk about the bad side that comes along with it?

Our spiritual affections, once dead, are now alive. Those reborn affections are made for Christ. And this is not natural and it’s not automatic — it’s supernatural grace, calling for life discipline. We keep working at this until we can affirm with Peter — in 1 Peter 1:8 — that even though we have not seen Christ — we have not yet beheld the spectacle of his transfigured presence — we now love him with a love that fills our hearts with joy, a joy we cannot put into words. Great, Big Lie In his accounting of the cross, Luke tells us in Luke 23:48 that the crucifixion was a physical spectacle before the crowds to see. It reminds me of the lyrics of Joseph Hart’s hymn, “His Passion”: Biz: You have both been photographed by Richard Kern, who’s well known for his explorations of female eroticism. This conversation is happening at an interesting time, especially in relation to his work, because we’re living in an unprecedented era in terms of image-making, the female erotic, and ownership of those images. A great example of this is the massive success and impact of OnlyFans, which speaks to a shift in who owns the means of production and distribution for images that activate desire.

Only Christ can be this most brilliant Spectacle for us. And when our ears, our attention, neglect Christ, we drift away from him. That’s the point of Hebrews 2:1–3. To drift is the easiest thing in the world. And this drift is felt most clearly when we find ourselves constantly seeking after a new thrill in our media, meanwhile losing interest in the person of Christ, watching our interest in the Bible decline as we coldly mouth the words to Christ-centered hymns, and yawn through Christ-centered sermons, and spiritually snooze through the Lord’s Table. blondes women cleavage hanna hilton digital desire magazine shirt 1680x1050 People Hot Girls HD Art Sasha: It’s anecdotal, but I have friends who are queer that have had to leave their countries because they don’t feel that they can even progress in their careers. I have a few takeaways and thoughts on what this means for our own lives and for how we lead Sunday gatherings. But first let’s open God’s word together to Hebrews 2:1. The writer of Hebrews says this:How do Christ-centered sermons and songs land on me, and what does this say about the affectional health I bring with me on Sunday? brunettes women models brown eyes digital desire magazine faces elizabeth marxs 1920x1200 wallpap People Models Female HD Art Isabella: Rebellion was always inside of me. I was a troubled child, and I had a problem with authority in school. I wanted to do it my way. That’s always been part of my philosophy and personality, being rebellious at heart. Playing with the cross and [Christian] iconography, it’s fun to have humor with those stereotypes.
