1Co 5.11
“…If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator or covetous or an idolater
or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
[“railer”- uttering bitter complaint]
“You may say, ‘Well, I’m going to have my rights.’
Maybe you will, but you may not have your grace.”

TANGLED DREAM
Will we look from the other shore,
Of death’s cold, rushing stream,
And see all our “reality,”
Was but a tangled dream?

Joh 15.19
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”
The devil is not scared of a “form of godliness,” in fact he uses such to slyly damn souls. It’s when a man, when a woman, reaches for & with holy determination reaches through into the richness of God’s Power that satan is disturbed. Expect a fight from him, but after the fight expect his flight. You & God make a wonderful majority.

“St. Paul, himself a widower, enjoins bishops to marry…”
– Martin Luther /Table Talk/
Do you expect heaven to have ball parks & arenas with highly-paid players & scantily-clad cheerleaders? Be honest. I hope you readily see carnal actions & appetites will not be there. So, why are you going? “Well, many professed christians are going.” Sadly, I understand that, but that doesn’t answer the question – Why are YOU going? An appetite for worldly fun reveals a worldly heart (except in very new christians). Reach for the higher pleasures Christ has for you.

“A woman is, or at least should be,
a friendly, courteous and merry companion in life…”
