Tiger Woods....spotlighted .just because he has attained such a high status in the world's eyes........

The world loves adultery. From cartoons on up to the top Hollywood productions - adultery and fornication are the favorite themes.......yet, when one of their sacred cows - who give them pages of media feed and lots of dollars in their pockets.....falls from grace to the point of getting careless and going public....THEN it's wrong.

Think about it people - this is not a godly nation - it is a nation full of sin and selfishness......it is a nation that won't even let prayer in schools and gives more allegiance to pagan religions than to Jesus Christ. Yet, when it will pay for them - they get on a stump and shout "morals....morals".

The truth is that Tiger Woods messed up - he went outside of his marriage to dally and got caught. "Everyone" else on the tour "does it", but he, got caught. That's the rule of law with adulterers and womanizers......"don't get caught".

Who in the media or on the Golf Tour or anywhere else in the world....can cast the first stone?

There's really only one answer for Tiger Woods and for any other "lowlier" man or woman
on the face of this earth.....if he has committed adultery -
2 Chronicles 7:14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.2 Chronicles 7:13-15 (in Context) 2 Chronicles 7 (Whole Chapter)
Note that the verse says "which are called by my name",...so step one is to find out how to be a person "called by His name:". People who are "called by His name" will be those who come in the "Door" and don't try to get in any other way....
John 10:1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.John 10:1-3 (in Context) John 10 (Whole Chapter)
John 10:2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.John 10:1-3 (in Context) John 10 (Whole Chapter)
John 10:9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.John 10:8-10 (in Context) John 10 (Whole Chapter)
Result pages:
1 Adultery is a sin like any other sin - except for that Proverbs 6 says:
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.
Therefore, the sinner must repent before God and be delivered from the sin - and must live holy after that. It's very simple. Now, Mr. Tiger has said that he is going to do his very best to be a good husband and father like his family deserves him to be. If he follows the Acts 2:38 salvation formula by which the first church entered into covenant with Jesus, and if he repents and obeys God from now on, he has a chance......but if he tries to do it on his own with his own understanding of things.....he will fall again and again till he loses everything.
I choose to pray for Mr. Tiger Woods - because I love people who have committed adultery, and I know how devastating it can be for the family - and how hard it is to forgive it. I also know how hard it is to trust a person after they have committed adultery - especially in a relationship that is not centered in Jesus Christ. I also choose to believe the Bible and I understand that what God has said is Truth - and that anyone who entertains sin for a moment can wind up entertaining and committing adultery and a whole host of other sins with it.....and distancing themselves from God and the only help they have.
Remember, the church is compared to a great whore who has committed adultery with satan - read the Book of Revelation - He makes it very clear how He feels about that sin - yet , He is true to His Word....
2 Chronicles 7:14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.2 Chronicles 7:13-15 (in Context) 2 Chronicles 7 (Whole Chapter)
amen and amen......
Revelation 19:1-3 (King James Version)
Revelation 19
1And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
