Are U 1st or Last?

What does it take to be number one? The imperfect one has to ask himself these questions, and minister to self before he can ever share anything with anyone else. So these are the questions he asked:

In a career, what makes you the top dog?
In a relationship, what does it take to make you the only one he/she has eyes for?
In life what does it take to make you number one with you?

You think you are ahead on the score card of life, then when you can't smile after take a swift kick in the teeth, or gut, you think... man I may need a knock out! Don't rest because you feel like you are ahead, or are in front. You have to keep pressing!



Matthew 20:16
"So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."

Flava Flav said about 9-1-1, "You think you are first, when you really are tenth!"

Sivart Pooknyw said, "When you look back smiling and think you're ahead, you're really just about to be lapped again."

Again, what does it take to be number one!? Ask yourself now, what goal are you working toward, and what do you want to be first in? Be true to yourself, and honor God, because self may be in denial, but God always knows the truth. He will lead you to the finish line, or take you instead, if that is His will, you just have to be a willing soul. Regardless of the situation, if He is with you, then you win. Stay strong, pray (and not just for self, but for others), and remain faithful (again not just for self, but for others), in every way.

Peace, Blessings, and Joy... that real PB&J

What Do You Think Of When...?

What do you think of when someone mentions the way they want to look? What have you thought of when people say they wish that they felt better? Well the imperfect Christian thinks of the Fernando Lamas Ministry...

Yes dahling I am about fifty-five miles outside of a city called resume speed."

Billy Crystal is one of the imperfect Christians all time favorite comedians. The imperfect Christian loved City Slickers, and Throw Mama From The Train, they are classic comedies! However, the imperfect Christian favors the Saturday Night Live Comedy of Mr. Crystal the most. Fernando Lamas was a character that was famous for his line, "Yooou looouk mahvelas dahling!" So today's blog is a tribute to looking and feeling your best. The body is a temple...

"Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19 & 20 (AMP)

The imperfect Christian doesn't suggest cult like actions or events. He also doesn't limit this to physical imorality, but definitely does not exclude it, just broadens the spectrum a bit. With that said the imperfect one would ask :

Is the everyday "Average Joe/Josephina going to die from heart disease because he/she has a steak from time to time? Is he/she going to have cirrhosis of the liver because he/she has an occasional drink of an alcoholic beverage? Don't even get the imperfect one started on sweets, if that is something that defiles the temple so badly that it sends one to satan's house for eternal dinner, then the imperfect one is doomed for sure! Y'all pray for your imperfect Christian brotha hard on that one!

Well the imperfect one is not a vegetarian, and doesn't have the perfect dietary plan, but the imperfect one feels mahvelous even if it doesn't appear that way! Say nothing all you haters! Lol! Well back to life... anyone in the mood for "Pigs In A Pancho?" That's the Mexican version of "Pigs In A Blanket..." Hey, desperate times, calls for desperate measures! When the imperfect Christian has no hotdog buns, then it's Taco Bread (as Baby Girl calls soft tortilla shells) to the rescue!

Peace, Blessings, and Joy... that real PB&J

What Are You Rejoicing Over?

Ever heard of those people that will believe anything, their called fools... Every heard of those people that believe everything should be acceptable, again fools. They will also use propaganda, that's right, they twist the words of others to say what they want them to say. They are not rational enough to hear anything you have to say, sadly enough most don't even listen or understand a tragedy even when it hits their home, then they look to cast blame on anyone but self...

If the shoe fits wear it.
The imperfect Christian doesn't get offended when people bad mouth Bible Thumpers... he doesn't force his  faith on anyone, but will share it if someone is willing to have a decent conversation. So the imperfect Christian doesn't take it personal, or get tore up over the term Bible Thumper.

Charles Barkley is a huge man from Alabama with African Ancestry, (that the imperfect one is not a big fan of) that has made some racists remarks, and even has a book that somewhat manifest his racists thoughts in the title... "Whose Afraid Of The Big Black Man?" If Charles were to run for President, you couldn't accuse the imperfect Christian of being racist in his vote, because in that election if Charles were running against a man/woman of non-African heritage you simply couldn't pay the imperfect Christian to vote for him (him being Charles Barkley). Yes, Charles, the imperfect one is certain, would call the imperfect Christian "turrable" among other things much worse. Charles would probably say that the imperfect Christian's grammar and run on sentences are worse than his as well. The imperfect one would have to disagree with him on the first half at least! The imperfect one doesn't get bothered over people calling him a racist because he doesn't associate hymnself with Sir Charles ideals concerning ethnicity, or for that matter much else.

What does the Bible say?
The imperfect Christian is not one to wear out a pericope, he prefers to reference and apply the entire Bible in his life, but some verses are better suited for certain situations. Two verses that the imperfect one has seen the most today are from Proverbs. Proverbs 24:17&18, and Proverbs 21:15. Some folks have used their concordance to find their verse for the day, and others just saw it on Twitter or Facebook. A concordance is awesome, it helps you find a verse via a key word search. The imperfect one has used them plenty. But it is also great to study to show yourself approved...

Yes it is great that most (even the non-believer) knows what John 3:16 says. It's even greater when they know what 3:17 says, and are even more intrigued to find out what the rest of that blood given covenant says.

Today the imperfect Christian has seen and heard everything from, "It's a government scam to shake up Al Qaeda," to "He (Bin Laden) got what he deserved." "This isn't the end of terrorism," and "Obama didn't get him!" The imperfect Christian has witnessed people use Bible verses, and witnessed others quote great minds all over the web, and on social networks.

So what do the two verses say:

Proverbs 24:17&18

17 "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18 lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him," (NKJV)

Verse 18 ends in a comma, verses 19 & 20 ends that with saying:
19 "Do not fret because of evil doers, nor be envious of the wicked;
20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man; the lamp of the wicked will be put out." (NKJV)

The lamp today, according to reports, was snuffed out...

Proverbs 21:15 Reads:

"It is a joy for the just to do justice, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity." (NKJV)
"Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers." (NLT)
"When justice is done, good citizens are glad and crooks are terrified." (CEV)
"When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers." (NIV)

In the imperfect conclusion the imperfect Christian would have to say this:
The killing of Osama Bin Laden may not have come from a gun that contained the trigger finger of President Obama, it may not bring back 2,977 NY Lives from September 11, and countless other lives in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Pakistan, it may not even be true at all that he is dead... however, if he (Bin Laden) is dead, it is not gloating, or even a rejoicing in one mans death, or pay back for 2,977, it is praising God for the fact, that the one dead man, will no longer be able to master mind the killing of 2,977 with less than one percent of the people that he was responsible for killing.

Freedom, Hope, Peace, Perfection wish You were here... Perfection left the physical a little over 2,000 years ago. We won't see Perfection again until He returns... until then keep Him in your heart press toward the day of Perfection.

Peace, Blessings, and Joy... that real PB&J
