Admin	The reason maybe some christians are still single Posted : 15 Dec, 2014 08:37 AM God�s Purpose Fulfilled in Marriage�All who enter into matrimonial relations with a holy purpose�the husband to obtain the pure affections of a woman�s heart, the wife to soften and improve her husband�s character and give it completeness�fulfill God�s purpose for them.� Love Versus the Passion of the Natural Human Heart�Love ... is not unreasonable; it is not blind. It is pure and holy. But the passion of the natural heart is another thing altogether. While pure love will take God into all its plans and will be in perfect harmony with the Spirit of God, passion will be headstrong, rash, unreasonable, defiant of all restraint, and will make the object of its choice an idol. In all the deportment of one who possesses true love, the grace of God will be shown.� Avoid Reading, Seeing, and Hearing Impurity�Those who would not fall a prey to Satan�s devices must guard well the avenues of the soul; they must avoid reading, seeing, or hearing that which will suggest impure thoughts. The mind must not be left to dwell at random upon every subject that the enemy of souls may suggest. The heart must be faithfully sentineled, or evils without will awaken evils within, and the soul will wander in darkness.�The Acts of the Apostles, 518 (1911). The lust of the eye and corrupt passions are aroused by beholding and by reading.... The mind takes pleasure in contemplating scenes which awaken the lower and baser passions. These vile images, seen through defiled imagination, corrupt the morals and prepare the deluded, infatuated beings to give loose rein to lustful passions. Then follow sins and crimes which drag beings formed in the image of God down to a level with the beasts, sinking them at last in perdition. Avoid reading and seeing things which will suggest impure thoughts. Cultivate the moral and intellectual powers.� Post Reply
