ONE SOLITARY LIFE!!!



He was born in a stable,
in an obscure village from there he travelled, less than 200 miles.
he never won an election, he never went to a collage, he never had a lot of money, he b'came a nomadic preacher.
popular opinion turned against him, he was betrayed by a close friend, and his other friends ran away,he was unjustly condemned to death. crucified on a cross among common thieves,on a hill overlooking the town dump & when dead,laid in a borrowed grave.
Nineteen centuries have come & gone,
empires have risen & fallen,
mighty armies have marched,
and powerful rulers have reigned,
yet,no one has so affected men as much as he.
he is the central figure of the human race;
he is the messiah, The son of god



J E S U S C H R I S T !!!




SEX- WHY IS GOD SO NARROW – MINDED???

“Your rounded things are like jewels… Your naval is as delicious as a goblet filled with wine…. You are tall and slim like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters of dates. I said, ‘I will climb up into the palm tree and take hold of its branches.’ Now may your breasts be like grape clusters, and THE SCENT OF YOUR BREATH like apples. May your kisses be as exiting as best wine, smooth and sweet, flowing gently over lips and teeth” (Song of Songs 7:1-9) .

Wow! What is writing like this doing in the Bible? We expect to find sexual messages in movies, music, and magazines—but in the Bible? No wonder the Songs of Songs has caused so much confusion, controversy, and even embarrassment. The Song of Songs is not the only place where the Bible talks about sex (for example, see 1 Corinthians 6; Galatians 5:16-25;, Ephesians 5:1-3; Hebrews 13:4). But it is here that the scriptures reach their highest, most beautiful and poetic affirmation of goodness of sex as God’s gift to men and women. Believe it: Sex is God’s invention—not Hollywood’s or MTV’s—which leads to several important observations:


.SEX IS GOOD. God’s people haven’t done a very good job in communicating this fact. We’ve treated this aspect of God’s creation as if it were shameful or to be avoided. But God created sex, and he created us as sexual creatures; therefore, sex is good. Regardless of the dangers and trouble surrounding sex, this fact remains: Sex is part of God’s creative plan for men and women.


.SEX IS POWERFUL. Of all the ways people have of expressing themselves to one another, sex is the most powerful. It involves a person’s total being. When sex is kept in its proper context—marriage—it is a powerful vehicle for good, for bringing husband and wife together as one. Unfortunately, when sex is expressed before or outside of marriage, it can be powerfully destructive. Think of it like this: Say you give a six-year-old the key to a hot new Ferrari and send him out to drive it in the grand prix. You what will happen. A six-year-old isn’t physically, mentally, or emotionally prepared to handle the car or the course. He’ll crash and burn and get hurt badly. It’s the same with people who are young and not married—they are not prepared mentally, emotionally or spiritually for the experience of sex. They may think they are ready, but sex is powerful, and it requires a strong structure to support and contain it. Which leads to our final observation?


.SEX IS MADE FOR MARRIAGE. Period. Sex is such an explosive force between two people that it must be expressed in an environment of love, support and commitment. Especially commitment. That’s what is missing in sex outside of marriage—commitment. Sex is 100 PERCENT PHISICAL COMMITMENT. Unless there is 100 percent emotional, financial, social, and spiritual commitment, the relationship will be unbalance and will probably collapse, leading to pain, anger, shame, and much more. Those who decide to become sexually involved in spite of Gods instructions shouldn’t be surprised when, like our young Ferrari driver, they crash and burn. Sex is Gods gift to his creatures. God endorses sex, but because sex is given as an ultimate gift for life, god says its expression should be limited to those who are committed to each other in marriage. God wants sex to be motivated by love and commitment, not lust. God is glorified by sex within a godly marriage—sex that is for mutual pleasure, not selfish enjoyment.
????? What is different about Song of Song’s description of sex and sexual desire and the way sex is presented on TV and in movies ?????


COMMITMENT: The power of love requires more than feelings to protect it. Sexual expression is such an integral part of our selfhood that we need the boundary of marriage to safeguard our love. Marriage is the celebration of daily commitment to each other. Romance keeps a marriage interesting, and commitment keeps romance from dwelling away. The decision to commit yourself to your spouse alone beings at the marriage altar. It must be maintained day by day. In a world filled with divorce and brokenness, God calls us to learn to live according to commitment.
????? How can you make choices now, in friendship and dating that will prepare you for a future marriage with a strong commitment? What role does God play in that preparation ?????


SEX 4 THE WORLD MEAN ABUSE;
BUT 4 GOD ITZ HOLY COZ HE HAS CREATED;
HE MADE IT SO THT WE MAY ENJOY IT IN :-)



SEX, AS THE SONG OF SONGS SAYS SO BEAUTIFULLY, IS GOD’S IDEA. IF YOU FOLLOW
HIS LEADING—INCLUDING WAITING UNTIL MARRIAGE TO HAVE SEX—YOU’LL EXPERIENCE ONE OF GOD’S GREATEST GIFTS IN A WAY THAT IS FULFILLING TO YOU AND PLEASING TO HIM.

THE CRUCIFIED 
Today, and on the same day of each year, man is startled from his deep slumber and stands before the phantoms of the Ages, looking with tearful eyes toward Mount Calvary to witness Jesus the Nazarene nailed on the Cross. . . . But when the day is over and eventide comes, human kinds return and kneel praying before the idols, erected upon every hilltop, every prairie, and every barter of wheat.

Today, the Christian souls ride on the wing of memories and fly to Jerusalem. There they will stand in throngs, beating upon their bosoms, and staring at Him, crowned with a wreath of thorns, stretching His arms before heaven, and looking from behind the veil of Death into the depths of Life.

But when the curtain of night drops over the stage of the day and the brief drama is concluded, the Christians will go back in groups and lie down in the shadow of oblivion between the quilts of ignorance and slothfulness.

On this one day of each year, the philosophers leave their dark caves, and the thinkers their cold cells, and the poets their imaginary arbors, and all stand reverently upon that silent mountain, listening to the voice of a young man saying of His killers, "Oh Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing."

But as dark silence chokes the voices of the light, the philosophers and the thinkers and the poets return to their narrow crevices and shroud their souls with meaningless pages of parchment.

The women who busy themselves in the splendor of Life will bestir themselves today from their cushions to see the sorrowful woman standing before the Cross like a tender sapling before the raging tempest; and when they approach near to her, they will hear a deep moaning and a painful grief.

The young men and women who are racing with the torrent of modern civilization will halt today for a moment, and look backward to see the young Magdalen washing with her tears the blood stains from the feet of a Holy Man suspended between Heaven and earth; and when their shallow eyes weary of the scene they will depart and soon laugh.

On this day of each year, Humanity wakes with the awakening of Spring, and stands crying below the suffering Nazarene; then she closes her eyes and surrenders herself to a deep slumber. But Spring will remain awake, smiling and progressing until merged into Summer, dressed in scented golden raiment. Humanity is a mourner who enjoys lamenting the memories and heroes of the Ages.If Humanity were possessed of understanding, there would be rejoicing over their glory. Humanity is like a child standing in glee by a wounded beast. Humanity laughs before the strengthening torrent which carries into oblivion the dry branches of the trees, and sweeps away with determination all things not fastened to strength.

Humanity looks upon Jesus the Nazarene as a poor-born Who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. And He is pitied, for Humanity believes that he was crucified painfully.And all that Humanity offers to Him is crying and wailing and lamentation. For centuries Humanity has been worshipping weakness in the person of the Saviour.

The Nazarene was not weak! He was strong and is strong! But the people refuse to heed the true meaning of his strength.

Jesus never lived a life of fear, nor did He die suffering or complaining. . . . He lived as a leader; He was crucified as a crusader; He died with a heroism that frightened His killers and tormentors.

Jesus was not a bird with broken wings; He was a raging tempest who broke all crooked wings. He feared not his persecutors nor His enemies. He suffered not before his killers. Free and brave and daring He was. He defied all despots and oppressors. He saw the contagious pustules and amputated them.He muted Evil and He crushed Falsehood and He choked Treachery.

Jesus came not from the heart of the circle of Light to destroy the homes and build upon their ruins the convents and monasteries. He did not persuade the strong man to become a monk or a priest, but He came to send forth upon this earth a new spirit, with power to crumble the foundations of any monarchy built upon human bones and skulls. He came to demolish the majestic palaces, constructed upon the graves of the weak, and crush the idols, erected upon the bodies of the poor.Jesus was not sent here to teach people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels.He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest.

These were the missions of Jesus the Nazarene, and these are the teachings for which He was crucified. And if Humanity were wise, she would stand today and sing in strength the song of conquest and the hymn of triumph.

Oh, crucified Jesus, Who are looking sorrowfully from Mount Calvary at the sad procession of the Ages, and hearing the clamor of the dark nations, and understanding the dreams of Eternity.Thou art, on the Cross, more glorious and dignified than one thousand kings upon one thousand thrones in one thousand empires.

Thou art, in the agony of death, more powerful than one thousand generals in one thousand wars.

With Thy sorrows,Thou art more joyous than Spring with its flowers.

With Thy suffering,Thou art more bravely silent than the crying angels of heaven.

Before Thy lashers,Thou art more resolute than a mountain of rock.

Thy wreath of thorns is more brilliant and sublime than the crown of Bahram.
The nails piercing Thy hands are more beautiful than the sceptre of Jupiter.

The spatters of blood upon Thy feet are more resplendent than the necklace of Ishtar.

Forgive the weak who lament Thee today, for they do not know how to lament themselves.

Forgive them, for they do not know that Thou hast conquered death with death and bestowed life upon the dead. . . .

Forgive them, for they do not know that Thy strength still awaits them.

Forgive them, for they do not know that every day is Thy day.
