CHAPTER FIVE

Great to see everyone this weekend. I hope your week is awesome. Here we go.

When life is over, it will be to late to ask for advice. When desire is fully activated, people generally don't want advice--they want satisfaction. Although chapter 5 addresses men, it's important for everyone to understand that sexual sin has a lot of different consequences. Satan will try to entice us with every kind of desire. He knows each of us individually. His purpose is to steal from us, kill us, and destroy us if possible. Sexual sin is extremely dangerous because it destroys family life, it destroys your ability to love, it turns people into objects, leads to disease, and can result in children that will then suffer because of an adults mistake. If at all possible, don't let hind sight be 20/20 when it comes to this subject. God intended for us to have satisfying relationships within the bounds of marriage. It is wonderful to love and be loved. Protect this gift. Wait for the one who God has for you.

God made you. He knows the desires of your heart. He understands what true love is. If you will trust Him with your relationships and not get in a hurry, there will be long term satisfaction. Outside of your personal relationship with Christ, the spouse you choose will be the biggest decision of your life. Let's turn the ship around. Let's help the divorce and separation rate in our world shrink.

Blessings,
