God loves you. Your baggage is a problem. The sin, the failure makes you very much not like God, not like His heaven. And we can’t unload it like it was never there. That is why there is a heaviness in our soul. It is why we can be unsatisfied when we should be satisfied, unhappy when we should be happy. But God loves you and it says here that it pleased Him to send Jesus to unpack the sin, carry what we could not, pay the penalty.

Can I drink? I guessing some are thinking, 'Is this a question?' Funny thing though is that some think it is not a question because the answer is obviously no, while others think it is not a question because the answer is obviously yes. I think that makes this a question.

What I want to do this morning is build a biblical check list for working through this. It is a starting place. I want to be clear what I am not talking about. I am not talking about guns for hunting. This is not about police or military that carry a weapon and kill under the authority of the state, which God allows in Romans 13. I am talking about carrying a gun for self-defense.

We are continuing today our series called Can I? Today’s topic is can I develop my own sexuality, sexual identity, sexual values? That almost sounds silly in today’s context. I mean it is your body. Right to privacy. And the biggest of all in our culture, your feelings, your truth. And this has brought us to a place in our culture where almost nothing is wrong.

Good morning and welcome to The Heights and to a new series called Can I. We are going to explore a variety of topics like drinking to carrying a gun to how we entertain ourselves; and the goal is not as much yes or no, but how we come to that answer and how we live that answer in a way that serves people around us. Us, now that is an interesting word in light of today’s particular topic: Can I do my own spiritual thing or do I always have to think about us?

There is a problem in our communities, in our nation, between blacks and police officers. The problem is much bigger than that, but it seems that is where the problem is most glaringly showing itself. As I read this passage it seems to me that the church ought to be trying to discover what role we can play in bringing harmony and peace to racism.
