Last night I was convinced by my friends to go clubbing with them. Clubbing is not my scene to say the least, I had heard enough from others to not want to involve myself with drunk people etc. However, what I saw was a lot worse than what I had expected! I suddenly realised the great number of lost souls there are and this saddened me tremendously. Have I just been brought up in a conservative home? I don't think so, my parents taught me the difference between right and wrong and protected me for my own safety.
Seeing people drink themselves into an unconscious state, smoke their lungs away and dance to inaudible music (as it was so loud) makes we wonder. Everything that I saw was going against YHVH's (the LORD's) word. He has called us to be a Holy people. To be in the world, but not of the world. According to Y'Shua, the whole law can be summed up in two "laws": Love YHVH your God, with all your heart, mind and soul (Matthew 22:37). And love your neighbour as you love yourself. So if we love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, we would obey him right? We would spend more time with Him than with a dance floor or beer bottle and would we not treat our bodies as His temple? They way people acted last night, definitely showed that they did not respect their bodies as God's Holy Temple. Girls, throwing yourself at guys is not going to add worth to your life, all the Godly women in the Bible were pursued by the guy. And guys, adding another tick to your list is not going to add to your worth either. Both guys and girls need to respect one another as if they belonged to someone else.
Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
YHVH has given us a Great Commission, what are you doing to spread the Gospel? Do you know that he told us to tell people the Good News, but not to save them? That's His work, if you share with someone, don't be disheartened if they don't turn around immediately, just plant the seed.
After last night, YHVH has showed me that there is much work to be down still, He wants a personal relationship with everyone, but he can't until they turn from their ways and allow Him to Create them anew and they can't do that unless they hear the Gospel.
