Many people are not religious, but it is very good to meet those who will respect others who are. For example, I noticed that a young man who is very profane and worldly, changed his demeanor when he came into the presence of a Christian young lady. He did not cuss he did not do any lewd or wicked things instead he cleaned up his mannerism and acted like a total gentleman in her presence. That is good and we hope to see more of such behavior when we find people who respect those who are trying to save their souls. Matthew 5.13-16. Philippians 2.15. Titus 2.10-14.

A young man began dating a young girl and they sat down and talked about sex. They wanted to make sure this divisive subject was dealt with before their relationship began.
Both agreed that dating has nothing to do with sex. They agreed dating has everything to do with getting to know one another and seeing if they are compatible in personally. They also realized this would be their first phrase and if they liked each other well enough, they would transition to marriage. They recognized that in marriage, sex, pooling their money and living under the same roof would be the second phrase. The third phase would be taking care of problems. Whether it be learning about sex, learning about paying bills, learning about children or more on being a couple, they would work it out. This message we wish to share with the upcoming generation and anyone else who will listen. Hebrews 13.4. 1 Timothy 5.14. 1 Corinthians 6.18. Ephesians 5.31. The bible is the word of Almighty God. While it is sad that some don’t believe.
The supreme teachings that come from its pages cannot be denied. For example, “treat others as you wish to be treated.” Matt 7:12. This command came from God and for that reason, no one can quote another statement that tops it. Man may build upon the statement, but they cannot produce a quote that is superior to it. Moses knew that because he told the nation of Israel, that no civilization had laws superior laws to theirs. Deut 4.8. Because no man can outthink or out create what governs human behavior better the Creator. Treating others as one wants to be treated, destroys all the bad things that humans do to each other. No one wants to be murdered, robbed, shot, beat up, slandered, become a victim of I D fraud, etc. While evil men may do such to their victims, the same evil men don’t want someone else to do so to them. Treating others humanely is Godly, because that is how God views behavior. He attempts to install such character in us so we can learn to be like Him. The man said, “I don’t smoke, drink, do drugs or fornicate.”
His listeners stood there looking at him like he was insane and finally after a few moments one of them said; “what in the world is wrong with you?” “There is nothing wrong with me”, the man replied. “But there is something wrong with you. Those things that I don’t do are sinful things that the word of God makes perfectly clear. There is nothing wrong with obeying the word of the Lord; but there is plenty wrong following the world. 1 John 2.15-17. Jesus is going to come back and judge this world and all the ungodly will have their part in the Lake of fire. Jude 14-16. Rev 21.7-8. But not me. I'm going to do what the Lord said and save my soul. God said be holy because He is holy. 1 Pt 1.15-16. I'm just doing what the Lord said and if that makes me different from all the other people in the world; so be it.” Matt 5.13-16. Just when you think that everyone has forgotten about the Lord; it is always refreshing to see some haven’t. Since these people aren’t too far away from God, all they need a little more study of the word and they will be in the right place. Mark 12.34.
It is refreshing to hear someone talking about plans and they say; “if it’s the Lords will, I will do this or I will do that.” That shows they know about uncertainty and that everything is in the hands of the Lord. Jas 4.13-15. It’s refreshing to hear athletes thanking the Lord after winning a championship game. Heb 13.15 It’s refreshing to go to dinner and see others praying before they eat their meals. Acts 27.33-37. |
