So God created people in his own image;
God patterned them after himself;
male and female he created them.
One late night (or should I say very early morning) after writing devotionals, I went to bed with the television on. While I was falling asleep, there was a reality show that featured a wedding between two teenage girls, with both sets of parents giving their full consent to the marriage. I thought to myself about how family values are being shattered before our very eyes. This is what the Apostle Paul wrote about in Romans 1:26-28, “That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.” The penalty for the rejection of God's values is really steep. Don't leave God out of your life, but rather have God at the center of your life so that you might truly be in the likeness of the Creator.

AMEN!
so sad. we are surrounded with people who disregard God.
the pleasure this world can offer has a high price tagged with it. but we often don't see it. before we knew it... bang! we are trapped and can't get out of it.
As the verse says... we are created after His own image... and whatever He does is perfect. Let us not destroy ourselves by running after worldly pleasures.
mmmhhmmm...
AMEN !!!
