True Love Waits

True Love Waits did a skit where the lives of two young people were contrasted - a Christian and a worldling. The worldling flirted with the girls, watched porn, smoked, and partied. The Christian on the other hand fled to God for safekeeping and kept his life clean from sin. Both of them died and appeared before God, where the Books were opened and the lives revealed. The Christian entered eternal bliss, while the worldling was fetched by demons and carried to hell, together with his companions.

"Sexual immorality" - Joseph Chauke
Prov 23:26

God realise that the sin-problem comes from the heart, and therefore He makes this invitation to us. In Ez 36:26 we read about God's promise that He will give us a new heart and put a new spirit within us. He will remove the heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. There are those with a heart of stone who harden their hearts when God speaks to them.

A person that sins and returns to his sin, is like a dog that vomits and returns to lick it up (2 Pet 2:22). The Bible declares that a backslidden Christian is outside of God's Kingdom. We read in Rev 22:15 & 16 that the dogs are outside of the Kingdom of God.

The sin represented by a dog is sexual immorality. A dog neither marries nor is given in marriage. It simply sleeps around and is immoral. Of sexual immorality God says in 1 Cor 6:18, "Flee sexual immorality. All other sins are outside of the body, but he who sins sexually, sins against his own body." Nowadays sexual immorality is a respected sin in the church. Ministers are afraid to speak out against it, especially amongst the youth. This sin brings God's terrible wroth upon mankind. If you flirt around, AIDS does not play around. It will destroy you speedily.

You need to flee to Jesus for safe-keeping. He is the only one that can keep you completely pure. A certain minister's daughter was found to be a virgin at age 21 in a location. The doctor was amazed, and asked the father and daughter how it is possible. She answered that she had fled to Jesus, and He kept her.

Joseph in Egypt was kept in the same way. He was away from all his family, yet he feared God. When this wicked woman tried to flirt with him, his reply was that he could not do that wickedness and sin before God. He fled from her. Many Christians live only before their leaders. Joseph was not of this hellish hypocritical kind.

If you are troubled with lust and the opposite sex, the problem lies with your heart. Accept this invitation from God. Give Him your heart of sin and receive a new heart from Him, else you will be destroyed.

God's promises are not empty. He gives practical wisdom, cleanliness, and purity. It is evident in those that believe. Even where they stay it is neat and tidy, but with those that do not know God it is also evident in their daily life. Their homes are often a mess of dirt and rubbish.

Christianity is not cheap. If you want to buy an expensive car, you have to sweat in order to get it. So too, Christianity is not cheap, but you have to go through the narrow gate. The broad road to hell is easy. There you can dress as you like, speak as you like, behave as you like, while on the narrow road it is like walking a tight-rope.

The story is told of a boy in Scotland who was quite dull. He could not pass his grades, and when he became a young man, he just wandered around with a big sack as a blanket. It would be his covering during the night against the cold and during the day against the heat of the sun. After a while he began to pick up all manner of rubbish and to put it into his bag. He would collect bones, rocks, torn clothing, etc. Wherever he went he carried this burden. At times he would scramble through its contents and sigh to God, "What have I done to deserve such a miserable life?" He could no longer use his sack as a covering, because of its contents. He began to live in the mountains. Others advised him to leave this sack of his, but he refused angrily, saying that it was his life. Eventually, because of the constant weight, his body began to become frail and diseased. Winter set in and made matters even worse. One dark night he got lost and found himself in a swamp and sank into the mud. Afar off he could faintly see a light. He struggled towards it, and eventually managed to get out of the swamp, covered with mud. He knocked at the door and a very kind-hearted, well-dressed gentlemen opened the door. He had great pity on him and invited him in just as he was. As he tried to enter, his sack got stuck in the door. The man bade him leave it outside, but that he did not want to do. He weighed matters up and eventually decided to stay outside in the dark with his sack. The next morning he was found dead in the snow.

My brother was once asked how he could live without smoking, drinking and partying by a nurse. The people of the world become bewitched, thinking that death is life. If you refuse God's grace, you can follow your own way, but the consequences will be awful.
