Do you have a God Radar?

Do you have a God Radar?  I do and I wasn't really sure how well it worked until the other night.  I haven't always had such a thing.  I certainly didn't have one during the pre-Christian stage of my life years ago. What is a  God Radar? Well its what I would say is our little indicator that flashes when you hear something that is sinful.  I think of the little monkeys that sit there covering their ears, eyes, mouth and point to their head and say "I hear no evil, I see no evil, I say no evil and I think no evil".

My son's baseball coach is a comedian.  At least that is what Micah was told by him when asked what he did for a living.  Last night Micah had gotten an email invite to go out and support my son's coach on his comedian night at the Green Room.  So we decided we would go and watch him then eat dinner.  I didn't know the Green Room was a bar, but okay we'll go in and stay to ourselves and listen and that would be that.  Within the first 2 minutes of his intro of himself and the show Micah and I looked at each other shaking our heads.  We soon learned way more than what we needed to know about Kyle's coach in the most roughest language possible.

Every "comedian" that got up there figured they needed to drink alcohol and lots of it in order to be funny.  They thought that to make the "jokes" funny they should be told with as many bad words as possible.  Each "comedian" had there group of people they would pick on as far as races and every joke were on subjects that really weren't funny.

Sadly Kyle's coach slammed Christians in a few of jokes.  His idea is that people never change and what he knew that person in high school to be no matter what this person is now (like a pastor or someone that loves Jesus and wants to tell the whole world) that the person was always going to be that and nothing more, that change wasn't possible.  Micah & I were very disappointed. 

Let's just say the end of it all on the way home I felt like I was getting water out of my ears.  You know when you lean your head over to one side and then sort of pound on your head on the other side so that you can feel the trickle of water drain out of your ears.  I felt like doing that to get all the "junk" I had just filled my head with.

Micah and I have decided that our "night life" at home wasn't such a boring thing after all. We also decided that wasn't our scene anymore and compared how we use to be before Christ invaded our lives :)
Our radar was going off so often while sitting there with the loud music, the types of people around us, how people acted and talked, the whole scene.  I couldn't help but pray and ask God to continue to help guide our children in His Light so they could skip scenes like that of the world and not to know any of it.  But really to give them the direction they need to make Godly choices when their time comes to gaze upon such things of the world.

The show was over after 10p.m.  We got up and got out of there as quickly as we could.  I'll admit we should of just got and left earlier but we didn't.  We were not proud of ourselves either, we felt yucky and realized that we sinned by being there.  I know I silently talked with God and asked his forgiveness and I'm sure Micah did too.

We were extremely hungry and nothing was open so we went to Albertsons and bought some steaks, cheese, crackers and wine and enjoyed a nice late night dinner together at home.

My God Radar works quite nicely how does yours work?  Its amazes me how much I'm more aware of things than I use to be. The transformation by His grace is a wonderful thing. I'm so happy that Jesus has my hand and that the Lord has my heart.
