Here are few things that I have heard or read in the last few days that have gotten me thinking.  So I thought I would put the thoughts down to see if anyone wants to comment or discuss them.

 A young man in the ministry had said to some other young men that the anointing draws the women.  So if you want women you need to know how to use the anointing. Have we come to a place in this time that the anointing is for our lustful desires?  Or is it for the One who has suffered for you and me? His name is Jesus. 1 John 2:20 says, “but you have an anointing from the Holy One…” The anointing comes from Him who is Holy.  How should we walk in it or “use” it?

I just read an article and here is a quote from it. “One Vicar interviewed on television said ‘If I was to meet someone who was 21 and still a virgin I would think there was something seriously wrong with them and counsel them and relate to them on that basis.’”  And here is one more quote from my reading. “Enough of this moralizing. Sleep with whoever you want, whenever you want, but do it carefully.” This was on a leaflet handed out by a student union group on a campus. The Bible says, “but because sexual sin is a danger, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.” 1 Corinthians 7:2 NCV

So is our Bible out of date? Is it too old fashion? Or is it relevant for today? I also want to be clear on one thing, and that is, temptation is not easy to turn from especially today with TV, movies, internet, magazines, etc.  But God is faithful and will not give us more than we can handle (read 1 Corinthians 10:13). May the Lord bless you and keep you, and if you need to repent just do it and turn to Jesus. He will never let you down. And be accountable, we need each other. Let’s set the standard.
