Is it ok to have my boob done for my Husband’s benefit as a Christmas gift???
Ok this is a Question Mark Driscoll was Asked in his live uncensored text message Q&A session at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. I don’t know the answer he gave but I hope it when a bit like this. In the cabin I stayed in when I was in Romania We talked over this question.
Here’s my Biblical answer.
I want to first look at Psalm 139 verses 13-17
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
I look at this question and I hear it from a Woman who feels she’s getting old and worries so much about how she look, fashion and really wants to be seen as sexy by men. She wants to be wanted she wants to be known as attractive. Firstly I would say God doesn’t want a Woman to be an object of Lust. Secondly The Psalm above Says God created you as you are he love you, God has he hand upon you he your mother’s Womb. We also see the psalmist talk about Gods thoughts been precious and you where in Gods though as he created you. We have to realize as a people that God made us in his own image and he is a better designer than any plastic surgeon with 2 bits of Silicone. I mean better like by a few miles at least lol. Compared to God’s Design and knowledge the Plastic Surgeon is a Tata Nano and God’s a Ferrari Enzo (That just so Jeremy Clarkson can understand and maybe one day read this and be saved)
You know God is a great alpha and omega God; Paul right god’s fullness is far greater that all man’s wisdom. So God’s designed your body for a purpose so really it doesn’t need added to for superficial reasons. Also if a woman has breast implants for example, ok her husband may love big Boobs great maybe so do the other guy at that woman’s Church so there for her man made fake boobs cause other men to sin in a number of ways. Jesus and also Paul say you shouldn’t cause other’s to sin. So in a woman having a boob job you have men lusting causing them to have sinful thoughts about a married woman. (Sin is bad if you don’t know lol)
I think what is all comes down to this and in closing Christ taught
36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[b]
38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c]
40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
So when should remember to love God the father Son and Holy Spirit with all our hearts and to love our neighbor as yourself. So if you want to love your neighbor you need to love yourself first.
Peace

P’s plus there are people without food in this world and you can spend a few grand on your boob get over yourself.

Romania
Ok Romania was a really wild time. I had real encounters with God’s Grace and Love. I had a great Revelation of the Kingdom of God in action. Networks are a great missionary organization showing the compassion of Christ to the poorest people of Romania. I hope and pray their work continues.
I really hope to comeback to Romania and support the works of networks in Romania.
P.S. My Wee team from All Saints Clooney where amazing.
A painting on the wall
Ok I was thinking the other day about my time in Wolverhampton.
I remember one day when in the Chaplaincy building speak with the chaplain Rev Geoffrey Wynne I commented on the painting which hung on the wall at the front of the small meeting hall in the building. I said something like “that’s one of those all creeds are the same nicely, nicely painting to show diversity in the University.” I was quickly rebuked by the Chaplain.
Let me describe this painting it was on a circular canvas. It was all the colours of the rainbow coming out from the centre. Like light shooting out from a prism.
The Chaplain informed me that he felt it was the most wonderful image of the gospel. I was puzzled at this reply he said the painting name was the light of the world. (Jesus was called the light of the world in the bible) don’t you see like the gospel the rays of light shooting out all around touching lives. “But look again at that painting Matthew,” Geoffrey advised “do the rays of colour just go out or do they draw u in?” I looked again and I say the painting in a ne way I understood how it showed the gospel as it drew u into the centre and at that centre was Jesus and his Gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ that shoots out and touches lives and draws you into the story of an amazing Savour.
Peace and blessing

Life’s roundabout
i’m back at work for stream and i left uni.
yeah thats about it. I’ll talk later about the path i’ve had to walk and the journey i have made over the past few months. once i make total sense of it i nearly have but it’s been amazing.
I’m back where i start 2 years ago i think i had a trip on life’s roundabout and missed my exit.
This week I’m thinking about love
“Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.” Saint Augustine what I want to know is what Saint Augustine knew about women.
Thoughts from the toilet on Life
I think a lot on the toilet because it’s a private place and it’s just you and the bog roll.
Yesterday evening I was thinking on how people put up anything to not just say “Jesus Christ it the Son of God and I need him in my life.” Because it is admitting defeat we have to see that all earthly things fade way where as God is eternal. The bad thing about this is that loving god living for Jesus doesn’t sit well with people as they look at the sinful wants of our bodies and minds we see that we want it more than to know God’s glory. Human sinful nature is very short sited as we live for our wants but not for what we need; Grace, the forgiveness and Love of a Father through Jesus Christ.
A friend of mine would say “well God is everywhere and he doesn’t need us to worship him and that religions our all the same.” He is right in one part God doesn’t need us but our Souls need him his Holy Spirit is water to our Souls. The God of the Bible is a god who loves and looks to relate to the head, the jewel of his creation even when we don’t want to relate to him he is there like a Good Father there waiting to show us his amazing Love if we must admit defeat and surrender to him. We must ask for Gods Amazing Grace through Jesus Christ. We may say we are good people and I’m not sinful I’m a good person, I help people I don’t harm people well yes you are a good person by Human standard. But what of God’s Standards don’t we need to love God and love our neighbors as our self’s. Is that not God’s greatest Commandment? Then be a Good Person who admits that God is Holy and pure. That we need him in our lives we need Gods amazing Grace that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
Street evangelist on Dudley Street Wolverhampton
Ok I’m steeling something from Transforming grace Neil Robbie’s Blog Because he is smarter than me so check it out for more on this diagram.
Ok the people on Dudley Street who try to express their faith to people in Wolverhampton are in the Fundamentalist section as they have no wisdom. So really mostly they only need one thing to be better at connecting with people. Sometimes I would say I’m not dead center on that diagram and I don’t know many people who try to improve themselves. Neil Robbie in a conversation with me about evangelism in Wolverhampton said he would put those people in the fundamentalist section a short description of this position is ….
“If you have faith in Christ and the keep the law but are not wise you are a fundamentalist. You do not relate well to people outside your church or Christian sub-culture. You don’t understand the way the world around you works and so appear weird to people you meet.”
Now really we should try and use our wisdom as we deal with people and would recommend UCCF’s www.bethinking.org and www.theologynetwork.org to help with answering difficult question or to learn about question so that you may know more others point of view. (The fusion movement don’t help equip young Christian leaders lol ) for more on the Diagram to see were you fit look at Neil’s Blog Transforming Grace.
So in closing be wise. Look to relate to people where they are. I now that a lot of people laugh and mock these street evangelist but we most remember they are I brothers and sisters in Christ and God loves them and they are trying their best to bring the gospel to people. I hope we could have that sort of passion for telling people about Jesus.

if love and life were simple..
there would be no need for books and films about life and love, romantic films would be really boring. What would we sing about and life wouldn’t be as interesting if everything was easy and simple.
If we had what we want we wouldn’t enjoy it but when you long for something or someone and after a time of hard work to get where you want to be in life then you realise how much it means to you and you enjoy that moment and you hold on to it as you never what to let it go. As you know how much it cost you to get there.
I pray that I can realise those moments in life when you see God’s amazing master plan for your life and praise God for those moments but in the case of love Leonard Cohen was on to something “love is a cold and broken Hallelujah”
