God's Best

June 6, 2013

. . . do the good things that result from being saved, obeying God . . .
–Philippians 2:12 (TLB)

It takes no poll for those of us who have communicated with young people to know the devastation that permissive sexual activity generally causes. It becomes a cancer in the bodies and minds and characters of those who indulge, almost without exception. And there are other victims, such innocent bystanders as parents, grandparents, old family friends, teachers, and advisers, all much more concerned than you can understand. They want only the best for you. Anything less than a happy marital voyage gives them pain. The wisdom of their years says that premarital relations are always a mistake.

The Bible teaches that God created sex. He made “male and female.” Then it says, “God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good.” This included the natural sexual attraction between the man and woman He had created. Therefore, sex is not sin! It is God’s gift to the human race. It is for procreation; for enjoyment within the bonds of matrimony; for the fulfillment of married love.

Prayer for the day

All the gifts You have given us are to be enjoyed, within the structure of Your commandments, heavenly Father. Keep me always conscious of Your teachings.

The Bible states that "GOD MADE EVERYTHING and THAT EVERYTHING THAT HE MADE IS GOOD." God has given us everything to enjoy,however, we must realize WHO made EVERYTHING and enjoy EVERYTHING IN HONOROF GOD'S PURPOSES AND IN HONOR OF HISGLORY.

This is probably one of Satan's biggest deceptions on young people .He encourages them to participate in pre-marital sexual activity which can lead to incurable disease, unwanted pregnancies/abortion, abuse/prostitution,etc. Please don't be fooled.

God is the Creator of the goodness that we can enjoy! God is the Ultimate Creator of all goodness He created for our enjoyment, it is humans who turn it around and use it for things that were not intended this is when it turns evil.

Society changes almost daily. We can see and hear the changes through T.V., radio, books and online. Some of it is excellent and beneficial such as BGEA and many other morally responsible media. However much can be harmful if a person does not use their own God-given knowledge and discernment. Sexually explicit programs are rampant in every sector of media ie: music videos, online (social networking), radio, magazines, etc., etc. .............. Satan is very deceptively and actively at work trying to steal the virtues and minds of our youth as soon as possible using all these methods and more. As parents and grandparents we need to pray earnestly and teach our youth moral values while demonstrating a Godly example for them to follow. Indeed this can be a daunting task, but "All Things are possible in Christ".
