I'm Busy: I Don't Have Time For God!

Why is it so hard to spend quality time with God? Everyone and everything else gets our 

undivided attention, but God usually gets us when we're worn out from our day or too tired to get out of bed ..or when we need something. Our jobs, school, activities and material things get most of our time, but all these things can and will perish in a matter of seconds. Some of us take more care of our material things than our souls/spiritual life...but your car can easily be destroyed in an accident in 2 seconds, your hair can fall out, your sneakers can catch on fire BUT your spirit can either live in freedom or suffer for eternity. In any relationship, the people involved have to spend quality time with each other. A relationship without communication and quality time is dead and it cannot grow deeper in intimacy. Christianity is so much more than following a list of rules - do and don'ts.

His Chains Set Me Free: Childish Ways Are Now Behind

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. -1 Corinthians 13:11

Once upon a time, my every desire was catered to. Whether the desire was food, attention, a particular toy, or whatever else, the secret was to cry loudly. It worked almost every time. The reverse worked the same way. If there was anything I didn’t want, crying loudly was the signal for a different plate, my other toy, the channel with Barney, or whatever else I wanted changed. In those days, I got what I wanted, when I wanted it and how I wanted it.

What Are Your Intentions With God's Daughter

If God asked you, “what are your intentions with my daughter”, what would you say? Before you search Google for a good answer, remember that this God knows and sees all things, so you can’t fool ‘em. But really, ask yourself this question. What are your intentions with that girl you are dating or that girl that you are pursuing right now? If God heard your honest answer, would He be pleased?

1. Marriage is so far away; you guys are young, why start waiting now?

DAVID: The start of our careers is also far away, yet we’re in school, studying, writing papers, searching for internships, etc. in hopes of best preparing ourselves for our specific offices. In the same breath, we feel that marriage is a serious office that requires serious preparation. We believe that waiting is a huge element of that preparation, and so... we wait.

ELLA: What he said… Why not start now? Before we are even a couple we are God’s children, and our relationship with Him should also come before “us”. It amazes me how we’re so quick to subtract Gods instructions, and shove Him away but not question how the society says our relationships should be. We’re starting now because we want to grow intimacy every day. You might say it’s still possible to grow in intimacy with sex, but I think people only believe that because that’s all they know. When I compare my previous relationships to me and David’s relationship, I see a huge difference! Abstinence has a way of revealing your true colors without your control, I knew I had issues but this relationship has shown me that I’m actually a hot mess. It’s done the same for David also, loving each other back to life and praying for each other has brought a tremendous amount of healing! I know waiting till marriage isn’t the easiest thing to do, actually it’s become the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But it’s brought healing I didn’t know I needed, brought me closer to God, and a relationship that always seems too good to be true. It’s worth it.
