Once again the media is buzzing with the news of the untimely death of another celebrity. For those of you who don't watch football, the name Steve McNair means nothing, but for the many football fans it sent shock waves thru the world of sports.
I have been reading about his many charitable gifts, both monetarily and his personal help with the victims of Katrina. He has paid for several kids to go to football camp, and numerous other noble things he has accomplished. He was a very disciplined athlete, a hard worker his fellow players described him.
In the end what will he be remembered for? His accomplishments or the fact he died in the middle of an adulterous affair with a lady 16yrs his jr? The Bible says in Proverbs 6: 32But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
33A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
Is anyone paying attention to what is going on in the lives of the rich and famous? Open your spiritual ears, God is sending a strong message. One thing is obvious, it doesn't matter how rich, how famous, how much the world may idolize you, God is no respecter of persons. It is sad that people think if they have enough wealth they are untouchable, God is proving otherwise.
IITimothy 3:1-9
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
Luke 21:34-36 (King James Version)
34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
