WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT SEX AND LUST?

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT SEX AND LUST? In this paper I will attempt to use Bible verses to answer frequently asked questions on different topics that have to do with issues of sex in the life of a Christian. These are the different questions I will cover: (1) What does the Bible say about pre-marital sex (fornication)? (2) What does the Bible say about masturbation (3) When does God give sexual relations His blessing?(4) Why is it important that I follow God's commands regarding not participating in sex outside of marriage? (5) What if I have already engaged in sex outside of marriage? We are living in times where the world is trying to change the standards and moral commandments that were set down by God thousands of years ago. But God is holy and just and does not change, and neither will His standards for us change or be shaped by the so-called progressiveness of this sinful world. So the question becomes who will you be obedient to? Whose standards will you follo

THE BIBLE and HALLOWEEN

THE BIBLE and HALLOWEEN Test all things; hold fast to what is good. Abstain from every form of evil A Celebration of Evil 1 Thessalonians 5:21 – 22 Halloween is a religious day, but it is not Christian. Tom Sanguinet, a former high priest in Wicca has said: "The modern holiday that we call Halloween has its origins in the full moon closest to November 1, the witches’ new year. It is a time when the spirits (demons) are supposed to be at their peak power and revisiting planet earth… Halloween is purely and absolutely evil, and there is nothing we ever have, or will do, that would make it acceptable to the Lord Jesus." Day of Death Halloween has strong roots in paganism and witchcraft. It began as the Druid festival of Samhain. The Celts considered November 1st the day of death, because, in the Northern hemisphere, this was the beginning of winter, the leaves were falling, it was getting darker earlier, and temperatures were dropping. They believed that their sun go

WHAT ARE YOU EATING THIS HOLIDAY ???????

We NEED to make change....Stop Famine and Poverty.. FEED THE HUNGRY Feeding The Hungry Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, Isaiah 58:10 If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. Proverbs 28:27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse. Matthew 14:15-21 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves." But Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat." They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish." And he said, "Bring them here to me." Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the

Standing Before Courts and Councils

Standing Before Courts and Councils I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. Ps. 119:46. In the great closing work we shall meet with perplexities that we know not how to deal with, but let us not forget that the three great powers of heaven are working, that a divine hand is on the wheel, and that God will bring His purposes to pass. The time will come when we shall be brought before councils and before thousands for His name's sake, and each one will have to give the reason of his faith. Every position of truth taken by our people will bear the criticism of the greatest minds; the highest of the world's great men will be brought in contact with truth, and therefore every position we take should be critically examined and tested by the Scriptures. Now we seem to be unnoticed, but this will not always be. Movements are at work to bring us to the front, and if our theories of truth can be picked to pieces by historians or the world's g

The First Great Deception

The First Great Deception With the earliest history of man, Satan began his efforts to deceive our race. He who had incited rebellion in heaven desired to bring the inhabitants of the earth to unite with him in his warfare against the government of God. Adam and Eve had been perfectly happy in obedience to the law of God, and this fact was a constant testimony against the claim which Satan had urged in heaven, that God's law was oppressive and opposed to the good of His creatures. And furthermore, Satan's envy was excited as he looked upon the beautiful home prepared for the sinless pair. He determined to cause their fall, that, having separated them from God and brought them under his own power, he might gain possession of the earth and here establish his kingdom in opposition to the Most High. Had Satan revealed himself in his real character, he would have been repulsed at once, for Adam and Eve had been warned against this dangerous foe; but he worked in the dark, concealing
