"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" I Corinthians 11:1
The St. Paul School, with Frank Eiklor, Eileen Young and Cecilia Contreras)
You will choose which road to take. The world’s voice tells you you’re just material—with raging hormones of youth. Here today, gone tomorrow. So get all the sex you want—now. Enter the God of the Bible and Creator of passion and sex. He says.... No, it is not easy today to have a solid, scriptural marriage relationship. The competition is enormous... A lifetime commitment before God and witnesses. Utter loyalty to your vows. Good times and bad. Bill paying and dirty diapers. When he/she takes your breath away at night and has bad breath in the morning. Agreements and conflict. And viewing the word “divorce” as a 7 letter curse word that won’t come out of your mouth—ever! Just say the word “Sex” and you get peoples’ attention. And sometimes you get their ear to the same degree the word “water” would get the attention of a man dying of thirst in a desert... Oh you blind humans. So many of you who take me, Suicide, as your way out buy the lie that if there was a God, things would be easier. Well, there is a God, and things are never easy. He never told you they would be... No, I don’t kill all my victims. But I make every one of them so miserable and negative that they affect everyone around them... Your Creator God made you to live in His companionship and in His loving care. His Spirit is meant to carry your spirit through the toughest of times. How sad when you try to do it alone. Even I, Grief, feel grieved over that. That’s what happens when you call out to Christ. Worries become non-existent, or else manageable, as God reveals His love, step by step, day by day.
You can’t avoid pain, my friend. Neither could God the Father and Jesus Christ. That’s because they had you in mind—and your sins that made you blind. God’s love was more than talk.... “What must I do to be saved?” echoes down through two millennia to you and me. It really is life’s most important question. No matter what your present life is like.... |
