1 Corin. 7:8 To the unmarried and widows I say that it is best for them to remain as I am. 9 But if they do not have self-control, let them get married. For it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
We live in the a nation of Bible Fanatics. People who defy all the elements of the bible to adapt those that suits their purpose, then use those to manipulate the society or their followers in the name of God.Jim Jones used the same system to poison a number of his believers. Now we have congregations that are full of Divorcees, Singles, with roving eyes and sexual desires on their minds.
Lately, quite a few famous, So-Called Bishops, Elders, or Preachers have featured in Divorced situations, while others, accused of molesting children. I can imagine, with so many single ladies, available in these congregations, and at these preachers' disposal, it is possible to divorce and indulge in the societal norms. The molestation issue, on the other hand, with ample free samples from the flock, some chose to explore the forbidden territory.
What has become of the society we live in? To most it is better to claim to be a christian when it suits our purpose while we live a pleasure principled life style. Just in case, there is a God, they are covered, but if there's no God, they have lived a fulfilling life. Sheep, following a blind shepherd will all perish, over the cliff, and plunge, all to their death.
A society without morals is a dysfunctional society. A religious organization that defy biblical values to appease it members or to increase membership, although may prosper, but the mold within will one day expose the truth.
Just a thought.

The price
Why do we let the self proclaimed few swindle and bamboozle us with the membership to heaven, by scaring the the masses to buying opinionated books, enriching themselves, in-order to get to heaven? If Salvation is free and by mercy and grace, what do these play-boys know that we don't? If they know so much, they need to discard their selfish agendas, because God is not selfish, and help the globe eradicate human atrocities. Let go the mansions, limos, airplanes, and live like Christ lived in the world that He created, No place to rest His head.
Salvation is a gift - it's free!
Salvation is a gift - it's free!
1 Corinthians 6: | 20: “For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” |
1 Corinthians 7: | 23: “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” |

Lost in the Wilderness
Ever find yourself in this camel's position? Well, I have been here many times. The stretch of endless desert, with my soul full of doubts. It is discouraging, can't go back, because there is no back to go to, ahead, endless dirt full of sand. A chatterbox in the back of your mind, reminding you that once again, you will never cross this one.
The one thing that the chatterbox seem to forget is that, this camel was created, structurally, biologically, physiologically, mentally equipped to travel the terrain. Remembering that, Giving up is not an option.
Just a thought.
