Take Heed. Part-Two.

‘I Want?

Temporary pleasure is not worth loosing out on the Eternal joy of a personal relationship with Jesus? We are a bought or purchased people, by the offering of the blood of Jesus for our remission of past sins!

Jesus blood was not a transfusion life giving blood, it was being accused on false charges an innocent perfect man and being beaten so that His back was like a ploughed field! All this was before being nailed to the cross, between two men who were murderers!

So when we desire or we want, we need to stop and think again on the cost that our Lord paid for us? So that we do not throw away those pears to swine for a moments pleasure and the filth that is an abomination to God our Father?

Psalm 147:3,  Isaiah 53:5-6,  Matthew 5:20,  Romans 6:22,  2 Corinthians 6:17,  Ephesians 5:9.

Love and Marriage. Part-Three.

‘Lust is not love.’

Many relationships are built on a false foundation, that of Lust. When problems arise there is no relationship, friendship or desire for partnership, because it was all based on sexual pleasure, fancy and self centered motivation. Lust is about getting ‘what I want and by force if necessary.’

Lust outside marriage as well as within, ultimately leads to disaster. In marriage many find it hard to push one, so they look for the greener field over the hill’. Later after all the pain and the hurt of marital breakdown and divorce, they find that field was the same as the one they left.

Jesus had much to say about marriage, lust and divorce.  Matthew 5:31-32,  Exodus 2o:17,  21:7-11, Deuteronomy 21:10-14,  24:1-4, Proverbs 6:24-25, 1 Corinthians 10:6-7, Ephesians 4:22.
