"Sin is no longer the greastest enemy of mankind; sadness is. To feel good about oneself is the number one priority. The Bible is reduced to a devotional guide to help people get in touch with their feelings. Thus Christianity is widely ignored in our culture despite their excellent evidence for its superiority among other alternatives. Our culture is not interested in serious arguments and rational evidence for matters of religion"
Christ Among Other gods - Erwin W Lutzer
maybe if we all try to lighten up and smile, we'll be left with nothing else except the world turning to Christ for His joy to shine through them..but the world still retains its state. everyone all caught up in the hustle of life, a reality no one dares escape. entwined in a nomenclature of contrite and sorrow. what will happen when a generation accepts the idea that we should just feel, not think? people opt for opinions that fall short of conviction.
yet in this sin-ridden world, while we were still sinners Christ died for us..and i will be eternally grateful for this sacrifice. this valentine's day, maybe its gonna be something special. not with friends, not with family, but with my Lord and Saviour, cherishing every moment of breath that i draw, for who knows love like You do; the embodiment of love itself is You.
the loftiest idea in literature, the highest personality in philosophy, the supreme problem in high criticism, the fundamental doctrine of proved theology, the carnal necessity of spiritual religion..maybe valentines day would hold a new meaning after all. even for you, where ever you may be.
Thank You Father Lord, for this day that even though its not Christmas, still You've given this opportunity not just to renew marriage vows, love declarations and the like, but for us as Christians to remember who you are to us again. Thank You for Your steadfast love towards us, Your mercies that extend to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to Your promises to us. Lord i love You, today and forever, and i know one day i'll recieve my crown from You, where i'll walk the streets of gold, singing praises of Your Holy Name. And God, for her, whoever she might be, i pray that You keep her safe under Your wings till You bring us together in a union sanctified by Your love. Keep her and guard her till that day comes, when You join two as one. Thank You Father for Your undying love towards us, and for the people whom You have surrounded me with. Amen.
