AMEN!


HM
SOMETHING 
TO THINK ABOUT
   
Congratulations to Mr. Mrs. Steven Crowder.  I wasn't able to attend their wedding, but they look like a lovely couple.  The fact is I had never heard of the folk until this article.  
Steven is a comedian and he wrote his article in a somewhat euphoric state, so I'll forgive him some word choices and  his lack of mercy to those on the other side.  
Bottom line I say "Amen!" to his article.  In fact, if you are short on time read his article and don't finish mine.
 
There are many things wrong with the view of morality that prevails in our day.  
  • We try desperately hard in our culture to find/
    Vote For Pedro
    Vote For Pedro
    create/invent a "righteous" way to fulfill any desire.  Pedro would definitely win.  The bottom line is not only in regard to sex, but concerning fiscal-policy, buying new furniture, or having another piece of pie, often self-restraint/denial is a very good thing (see here for some Biblical input). 
  • Unfortunately this will surprise some folk.  Morality is not decided by a public opinion poll.  Surveys tell us what is popular, not what is right.  
  • Often what feels very good right now, will make me feel very bad for a very long time.  Note the wise choice this Bible hero made.
The Creator of the Universe--including you and me--gaveus a set of instructions for life contained in His Word.  He came to earth to be our Savior.  While here he said, "I came to give you life to the full."  (John 10:10)  Satan, on the other hand has been saying ever since Eden, "Maybe God did say that, but if you do this, you'll be better off."  How's that working out, so far?

I look forward to hearing more from the Crowders.  Right now, I hope they are enjoying their honeymoon.

It's STTA.
