When we read stories, books or biographies of Martin Luther, John Owen, John Bunyan, C. S. Lewis, Augustine, John Edwards and more – we notice something common about them all; that is, all of them have battled against sin and all of them had lost the battle, big time!
These days I am falling in love with St. Augustine’s life story and his writings. My! Where was I? I don’t know! Anyways!
By the way, St. Augustine lived during the first century (354 AD to 430 AD).
As a young lad, Augustine was a kind of young man that nobody in the right mind wanted to hang out with, unless of course they had similar lifestyles like his. I mean, Augustine was bad; he was living in the darkest of dark.
Whenever my husband goes to see his doctor (which is probably once in three or four years), the first question his doctor asks him is this: “Why did your wife send you here for?”
“So, if my boyfriend and I don’t have sex but sleep together, is this a sin? If so, can you give me a Bible verse that forbids us not to sleep together?”
“Where in the Bible does it say, “Do not kiss your girlfriend”?”
“Can you give me all the Bible verses where the word of God forbids a couple to live together before marriage?”
A4P Guest: “Hi Missy, I am 24 years old. My husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary last month. We both are Christians and we love each other. We came to the marriage not having any sexual relationship with anyone. We both grew up in church. I always enjoy being intimate with my husband but when it comes to actually doing “it”, for some reason, I lose interest. This was the case with me for the first seven or eight months of our marriage.
I couldn’t cancel my appointment this morning I made with my hair dresser a couple days ago; so I went there thinking that I would attend the funeral service using my phone. Well, the thing is there were at least 15 women in that hair salon. So, I said to myself, “It is okay. The service is going to be recorded and archived on the RZIM website as well as Facebook page. So, I may as well watch it later. I can’t watch a funeral service in a hair salon.”
you have a life-time opportunity of taking part in this historical service, a memorial service to Dr. Nabeel Qureshi.
If you don’t live in Houston, TX like me, you can take part in the program via the live stream on the RZIM Facebook page (facebook.com/RZIMfb) or webpage (rzim.org/live) that is going to start at 10:00am CDT (11:00am EST).
I am extremely sad today but I know the Holy Spirit will comfort me as He always does and all the people who are saddened by Nabeel’s departure. Yes, Nabeel is at a better place now but his absence from this planet is very much felt among the Christian community, especially among the new generation because Nabeel had a way to speak to their hearts as well as their minds.
May God comfort Nabeel’s family, especially his wedded wife!
Nabeel was a one-woman-man! No woman dares to say that she had known Nabeel but his wife. What a noble young man! What a fine, godly and spiritual young man! What a God-fearing and God-honoring human being! ///
