Ok so as you may know i work for an orginization called Free To Be, We go into school teaching them Sexual Abstinance before marriage. We are a non-religious orginization and we teach that there are many physical, emotional, and social reason t0 wait to have sex before marriage. So lately thats whats been on my mind. The reasons to abstain from things. I have a onetruth shirt thats has pictures depicting in a clean way, Sex Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll. it says:
"in a world filled with so much "pleasure", we feel so much dissatisfaction. could it be that we were meant to experience something far greater?"
Now this is a christian company and the message is talking about God and how he made us and wants us to experiance Him, His Son which is far greater than all the worldly pleasures out there. I was thinking how to relate this message though...to a world that doesn't want to hear about God. A world who doesn't understand "the bible says" or "God said". What good is it to teach them something they don't believe? don't get me wrong...teaching the bible is top of my "Things to Do" list. But to tell a sinner the bible says so...is stupid, unless they understand the need for the bible, for a savior, for a loving God in there lives.
So i've been thinking of this message...Sex Drugs Rock and Roll...Why wouldn't it appeal to a world that sees these things as things that the rich people do...things that the popular people do...things famous people do. Watching t.v. and seeing whos in the news it doesn't surprise me that these things appeal to most people. SOOO what can we do to teach this world that these things are empty? What do we do to show the world that theres something more out there? I don't have the answers...i'm still trying to figure it out. But for now i'm out there. I'm out there trying to show people the need for a savior...and if this message fails i try to show them that worldly things will fade and be gone...so i don't know...i just wanted to share these thoughts so thanks for listening.
