Video of the Day: Clip from the 2002 movie “Men in Black II”
Bible Verse of the Day:
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction, 2 Peter 3:14-16.
Biblical Connection:
Agent K asks to leave the agency at the end of Men in Black I, returning to his former life. Yet, when the world is in danger of an alien attack, Agent J finds K working in a post office. Searching for the Light of Zartha, Agent K’s memory begins to return. Getting emotionally involved with the Queen of Zartha, K realized he comprised his agent’s status by not following the rules set by the agency.
Peter writes to first century Christians to confront the topic of false teachers inside the church. This issue continues today as leaders have a tendency to add, alter or subtract from the commands of the Bible to excuse their actions, Deuteronomy 4:2. Subsequently, Peter call believers to be found blameless and spotless. This is a call to follow the commands set by God in the Bible.
Closing Song:
I joined 2 different accountability groups when I was in college. While one was more of a sharing group, the other challenged me to put my faith into action. When one of these individuals caught me in an inappropriate relationship, I was convicted like agent K with a sense of urgency to follow the rules established for life and at work.
