Examine our Faith

Hello, I am back.

Many happenings these weeks.

-Posting out of NDU to another camp
-Transferring of Fri Cell
-Trying to reach out to my friend
-A Discussion at Old Airport Road Market
-A Close friend's 21st Birthday party that involves mainly boozing and singing, thank God I didn't join in
-A mother who thinks she's mistreated worse than a maid
-Youths seeming to enjoy Praising and Worshipping, just that it happens only after service
-Love invading the air around me, people falling in love (Oh yes, and perhaps, falling away from God as well)
-Perceptions of my bros and sis in Christ that have changed over time in this world, certain things have become a norm and okay to them
-Giving up something so precious to God because I must let it go


Being in this world for our lives as seem to dissolve the absolute Christian values taught by the Bible. For example, no offences,
"It is okay to let the guys oogle and look at hotties/pretty girls once in a while"

What does God say?
Proverbs 31:30 (Amplified) - Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!
Matthew 5:28 (Amplified) - But I say to you that everyone who so much as looks at a woman with evil desire for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It is such a small thing such as looking at a woman but do you know? God is watching. How you react and think when you look. The Lord knows it all. Are you going to say "it's okay lah, look only what! That's what God created woman for?"


Are you thinking this way? if you are, please remember. The highway to sin and death begins when you entertain the lies of the Devil, the Prince of lies. He will tell you it's okay to ogle, it's okay to think and fantasize.

But remember the man after God's heart, King David, who fell to sin when he saw Bathsheba bathing. Sin can enter into the very lives of our own. Are we constantly on the lookout for signs of lies that the Devil puts into our minds?

Something for you to ponder through this week, and I pray that God will speak/reveal to you. God bless and God reign as you go through your individual lives this week!
