(maybe it's too much Eminem – you think?)<BR/><BR/>My husband and I were convicted by the Lord when we were living together before we were married and we moved out and lived separately until we married. Since then the Lord has really blessed our union and we now warn others of the danger of sexual immorality.Dani Kekoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551545245512227602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-1153372757839222592006-07-19T22:19:00.000-07:002006-07-19T22:19:00.000-07:00Dear Real Deal,How wonderful that Christ came into...Dear Real Deal,<BR/><BR/>How wonderful that Christ came into your life and you became "a new creation" through the power of the Holy Spirit's leading. His timing is always perfect and it appears that your life with your wife and baby is much more satisfying than participating in fornication. God's Word tells us to "flee sexual immorality." There are good reasons to obey this command. The epidemic of STD's is only one reason why the abstinence you chose to follow at the time that you did is probably a blessing! One in every two teenagers today has an STD! That's truly frightening... Back when I was a teen (ya know...back in the olden days of the 70's), the statistic was one in every 50 teens contracted an STD and I thought that was high!<BR/><BR/>When we put Christ first, family second and job third in our lives everything works for the better. At least that has been my experience.<BR/><BR/>God bless you that you have such keen awareness of sin in your life and all around you. Living for Christ is the best way to live. But to get there, we must repent of our sin and let Him take over the "throne" of our lives. You have done this and it's a great thing. Thanks for sharing!<BR/><BR/>In Him,<BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.com
