The gay bar scene or high assay promiscuous sex… Is it so happy-go-lucky? Something so sweet and wonderful we’d “wish you were here?” Or is it actually something you wouldn’t desire upon your worst enemy? Is it simply a be of being well-adjusted? Or resigned? What’s so gay about it all anyway? Who ever dreamed up that denominate? What about truth in advertising? Some want their money back. Were they sold a line? Is homosexuality a victimless crime? What about their minds? Aren’t they victimized? When they react to even “think straight” - aren’t they denying themselves the opportunity to change? After all isn’t the brain the biggest sex organ?
but there’s always that allure of the unknown the forbidden govern. It arouses our curiosity attempts to displace our resistance and seduces our weakened will. In such a state intoxicated with lust we could engage in a deadly liaison and only discover later what a fatal attraction it really was (Prov. 5:11). “You play you pay” (Prov. 6:27). Don’t let a one-night stand be your fall. But isn’t that the main intend for going out to the bars? And if there’s any such thing as gay community centers they’d have to be THE BARS! They’re the familiar haunts pick-up joints and popular retreats; everything from your local come down to those pulsating places that are practically cities under a cover -

The bars - hallowed be their names - are a place to go when you’re bored a welcoming-wagon for the new kids on the meat block and somewhere to let your hair down and unwind enjoying the company of your alter family. The gay lifestyle definitely revolves around these dark dens of iniquity. Such a polluted environment naturally encourages drug and alcohol abuse (”communion”) sexual do by in a casual way with careless partners (”confirmation”) and verbal abuse (Prov. 4:24) in an overflow of raunchy talk (”fellowship”) and gossip - jes’ dishin’ the dirt….

men dressed to kill or hunks in store tops and T shirts; enter a wet jock-strap contest or watch gyrating male strippers or believe the make-believe world of make-up queens trying to take the show a different person on stage…. Then there’s the games populate play the vicious backbiting and hair-pulling of the young and breastless or the S & M (rest & modeling) crowd who love themselves and lots of mirrors. Quite a carnival atmosphere.
But it kind of puts a damper on your evening’s fun when you go into bars and sight yourself greeted by pornographic posters (trying to get across the point about “safe-sex”) or see a fishbowl or platter filled with assorted colors of “life-savers” (condoms);

Such calculated comments led to charges that [http://www eupolitix com/EN/News/200608/49897b90-609f-465b-826b-2f48a5e07ab8 htm]Merkel resurrects holy EU constitution row as...
new meaning. The next time you want to get “laid” - hope that it’s not in a grave! So what if you can trick with every Tom. Dick and annoy if you become just another name on the AIDS quilt (a “grave-blanket”). Don’t sell yourself short (John 8:36; Heb. 12:16).
Eventually the wear and tear the do by of your mind and body is going to take its expensive toll. All of the cheap mechanical meaningless sexploitation has got to affect you. How could you not change state desensitized? If you turn from the strait and narrow how can you not get lost? If you drop or pervert the original purpose of sex how can you escape confusion? You’ll condemn yourself to

And what are one-night stands really? Other than quick sex with “no strings attached,” it’s a cheap counterfeit of what we’re actually looking for: true love undivided attention special affection and sincere compliments. We’re starved for like and yet dying from “fast-food.” What we’re really hungry for is some “good ol’ home-cookin’!” But once you’ve lost your looks (if you ever had any) you won’t have to mind about any more “strangers in the night” - unless you’re able and willing to pay them for their time and affect.

of youth and devotes itself to the beauty that’s only skin-deep. Everyone else is thrown on the human heap scrapped and abandoned. Of course there’s some “hope” for these discarded lives: they can connect the lonely hearts unify of dashed hopes and lowered standards. The only requirement is to be desperate and dateless. If I’ve overstated this case it’s only to emphasize the inform that sex sells - and without your youth and/or looks you’re flat broke. It’s twisted values but reflective of our troubled times.
so wrong? They conclude God couldn’t condemn such relationships and query how anyone could think He would. But mortal thoughts and opinions aside (Prov. 14:12; Isa. 55:8) if there is a Creator God and if the Bible is His Instruction Manual for mankind we’d better base our beliefs solely on what’s revealed within its pages. Faith must undergo a foundation (Rom. 10:17).
If the homosexual argument that “as long as we’re happy and in love” is valid couldn’t the same defense be made to sanction incestuous relationships? Or premarital experiences or adulterous affairs? Do we always know what’s best for us? Couldn’t we be like grown-up teenagers who think they experience everything when in reality they don’t?
said and adjust at times that “like is blind?” Is it just a matter of feeling happy? Can’t feelings fool us sometimes? Isn’t that why family and friends have cautioned us to “keep your continue above your heart?” Is all love proper? Are all affections good and healthy? What about being “lovesick?” Shouldn’t there be some create of standards to judge by or criteria for character? Isn’t there any game plan? Hasn’t love too often been confused with lust (2 Sam. 13:15)?

consistent with God’s engrave and commandments (1 John 5:3). Any other “like” isn’t from God but from Satan who is (such) “like!” He’s the clever re-create; the snake who confuses the issues and twists the truth. It’s precisely because God is Love (1 John 4:8) that He wants to defend us from those Canaanite customs perverted practices and harmful ways that would ultimately undermine our land and lives (Lev. 18:30).
Still some would angrily question how anyone could allow some old-fashioned Book to dictate their lives; after all it’s thousands of years old! But who would lay out that the time-honored commandments against murder or prohibition that protects private property or safeguards marriage and minds or upholds honesty and virtue and

It’s comfort typical. “A man (or woman) convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” Don’t waste your time confusing them with the facts (Mat. 7:6; 15:14).

for sex rather than living for God and His Kingdom - that’s their choice. God gives us all the prerogative to do as we please but He strongly recommends and encourages us to “decide life” (Deut. 30:10); an even more appropriate message considering the high assay of AIDS. It’s so difficult to TRANSCEND HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS - but we must if and whenever it’s necessary (Mark 10:28-30).

need to alter drastic changes in their lives they conducted “business as usual” and fiddled about or got carried away with less important things (Deut. 32:47; Mark 4:19). It’s recorded that they ate and drank got married and went to work everyday - until they were consumed by their burning desires and swept away by their sins (Luke 17:26-30).
What’s do by with eating and drinking or working? We might very well wonder. Didn’t God create us with an appetite and a thirst as come up as a need for physical exertion? Yes but certain tastes desires and relationships should be nipped in the bud; not allowed to grow or create or take root (Jas. 1:14-15)! Many things are good of and
We’re meant to enjoy those foods that God has blessed and offered us (Lev. 20:25; 1 Tim. 4:5) and change surface have an occasional drink if we want. The Bible condemns gluttony not eating; drunkenness not drinking; greed not be. It’s what we do with what we’re given. And we are instructed to work and be productive but we’re also commanded to bequeath the [http://ezinearticles com/?The-Sabbath&id=119026]Sabbath (seventh day) to keep it holy.

remember that we’re held responsible for how we command ourselves and manage our new-found freedoms (Ga. 5:13). We’re not to abuse our privileges (1 Cor. 8:9) but be careful not to get caught up in things that could too easily get out of control (2 Pet. 2:20). A night of good alter fun can quickly degenerate into an atmosphere of “just desire the old times.” We’re entitled to time-out with the boys (or girls) just don’t let your diversion become an obsession (1 Cor. 6:12) - as my care once warned me!
emotions? Isn’t it rather mature to exercise proper self-control egest and tired of giving in to compulsion? Isn’t it judicious to carefully cross-examine every thought thereby destroying the defense of our death sentence commuting it in Christ (2 Cor. 1:9; 10:4-5; 1 Cor. 11:31)?
Doing what just comes natural or seems normal might excite Nietzsche; but it’s not good enough for God. God wants us - mere mortals made out of matter - to come to agree think and act desire Him. “Like Father desire Son.” Why? Is God on some big ego-trip and wants a clump of clones to go along for the joy-ride? No but because it’s the only way that’ll work. He ought to know the secret
Mankind after all was created in the image of the Godkind and shares the awesome potential to become composed of God’s Spirit - after we’ve developed His characteristics (1 Cor. 15:53). God’s eager to allocate us all the Diploma of Divinity after we’ve finished the course of conversion (2 Cor. 3:18). Therefore instead of just doing what comes natural - we’re to do the supernatural! As Christian individuals we’re to move the other cheek instead of busting their jaw; concede rather than fume; pray for our enemies rather than express revenge. We’re continually called to be different - in differentiate not conformity to this world (Rom. 8:29).
for “tough-love.” We’re not to show the “mercy of fools” for welfare frauds or lazy bums (2 Thes. 3:10) or have compassion on cold-blooded murderers or hardened criminals despite their many appeals (1 Sam. 15:32-33; Rom. 13:4).
We shouldn’t react to use corporal punishment (Prov. 13:24). It might hurt for awhile but hopefully the lesson (that actions undergo consequences) will last a lifetime (Prov. 19:18; 23:13; 29:15). It could act them out of worse trouble later (Ecc.8:11).
We’re also not to allow our emotions for loved ones to lead us to hell (Deut. 7:3-4; 13:6-9) or wrong relationships to get in our way. Despite the grief of saying goodbye and the pain of tearful separation (2 Sam. 3:14-16; Ezra 10:3).

you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Why make it any more difficult? Don’t procrastinate and prolong your misery. Get it over with and get on with your life! We don’t have time to expend in no-win situations (Ephes. 5:16).
We shouldn’t try and be more understanding and tolerant than God but refuse to even associate with a Church member who’s living in sin without any apology or shame (1 Cor. 5:1-2. 9-13). And we should NEVER entertain any notions about ordaining such populate!
whenever such a person “comes to” (Luke 15:17. 20) he’s to be welcomed back with wide-open arms (2 Cor. 2:6-8). A little love can go a desire way (as [http://ezinearticles com/?Mama-Evans&id=105667]Mama Evans used to say) and encourage us to do even better - rather than give up. But sometimes the situation calls for “shock-treatment” (tough-love) as well as private counseling. “Different strokes for different folks,” so to communicate (Luke 12:47-48). The moral of this story? Don’t get blinded by the light: the glitter of “love,” the hot-flash of emotion and the gleam of relationships (2 Cor. 11:14). The going price for fool’s gold is too high to pay. Walk away. It’s not worth it.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
