Lifes Mysteries Defined???
I have just completed the most wonderful book about sexual purity that I have ever read my whole adult life. This book qualifies as the best not because of anything else but its brutal honesty. It is titled ‘I Loved Girl’, by Walter Trobisch.
Unlike most books, nobody sat for a long period of time making up the words and decided how to phrase them. Or what would sound write. It is just a collection of correspondence between four people which begins with a confession and ends in discovery of Christ’s love and true love. I am convinced that every unmarried African youth (or not) , and anyone who like me had wondered about where to draw the line, and even those married with children should read because they will need to educate their children about sexual purity at some point.
The beauty of a non rehearsed script is the fact that the questions that were asked were completely blunt. Myths about relationships were tackled honestly. Illusions about the permissibility of sexual relations before marriage are brought to light and tackled.
I can’t really give this book its due credit but I do recommend you get it yourself and read it. For those of you who don’t like to read books I’ll encourage you that its only a few pages long (108), and totally gripping I only bought it yesterday and I have already gotten through it. (yes Denis I know what you are thinking, that I read at an abnormally fast pace already so that’s no leverage) Honestly its not a hard book to read so go on.
Hello Fellows
Ok I have started a ew bible study
This one is on the life and teachings of Christ. I figure since I need to become more like him I hadbetter study him some more.
SO I've started on the book of Mathew where Jesus comes to be baptised and this time I am concentrating on John
How was he able to recognize Jesus from so far and accord him the respect he derved? Don't tell me it was only because he was his cousin coz if you remember a prophet is rejected in his home town. Jesus' brothers are evidenceof that.
I believe it was all teh time that John spent with God and all he learnt about Jesus in that tinme. Beingas he was supposed to prepare the way for teh coming one he had to be well prepared. Just like Jesus was his final exam and so his course notes and everything were on Jesus so to speak.
So I figure if I am to get anywhere close to where I need to be in my reverence of Christ I need to spend a lot more time with God in his word and quiet time to discover him .....
YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE
L.I.F.E
Hi all,
After a while of silence I have up for air and to blab. Well my life has been quite the spectacle is it spectacle or sceptacle. Well the word that’s right will obviously put things in perspective. I’ve been in Kenya for a while now and completely out of touch with some of you. I have the worst luck online really. I was soo used to having the internet available to me 24/7 I have had trouble adjusting. Truth is I only blog on my other blog spot and write as many e-mails as I can before getting writers block which I have to say is only 1 email per session.
I’ve also been quite busy doing research and learning new skills as well as job seeking so I hope you can all forgive my absence.
Since I came back from England God and I have been conversing the issue of total uncompromising obedience to his word. The truth of the matter is that I am very good at obeying God when it suits me and fits my way of thinking. But I had asked God to consecrate me to himself before leaving England because I knew that being away from fellowship and church I was used to could be detrimental. I have since fitted right back into my home church and learned a tremendous amount through the people here.
In addition to that God’s got me a job and got me to agree to live an obedient life. I guess it was just looking at my life in the recent past and seeing the little compromises I have made that seemed like nothing to me but mattered a lot to God. My relationships with others and how acted around people close to me was questionable witness. I don’t know if they see it that way some confess to not having noticed a thing but the fact that God cared enough to correct me shows I need a change.
I’ve decided to make it real this obedience thing and since I made that decision and committed it to God, I am having a much nicer life and lighter heart. My bible reading has gone back up to per and I’m going to be sharing what I learn here with you and
hopefully get some sort of feedback from you. I believe sharing ideas increases revelation so get your bible open and lets read.
