I’m so thankful for Christian apologists such as Ravi Zacharias! I can just sit and listen to Ravi the whole day without moving one finger.
From the zillion things I love about Ravi, the one thing I adore the most is this: His respectful approach to questions which ought to sound to him “- – -” (given what he knows) – hmm! How can he do that? Grace! His anointing! The Spirit of God, the Word of God he is filled in! What else? Phenomenal!
Have you ever heard him speak about sexual purity? You have to! That means, you have to take sometimes, if you haven’t already, and go through his Facebook page and website and everything he has online. Incredible! ///
A4P Guest: My husband doesn’t pursue me for intimacy. I told him about Viagra but he is not willing to go to see his doctor. I tried to seek counseling from our church ministers but the thing is our church ministers blame me for everything, so I don’t want to go to them. What do I need to do for my husband to pursue me again for intimacy? He is not interested in sex anymore.
A4P: What do you mean your church ministers blame you for everything? Are they saying that you are the reason for your husband’s loss of interest for intimacy?
A4P Guest: Yes! They always say that I control and dominate my husband.
A4P Guest: “I get irritated when I hear you speak about sex. Sex is not something God cares about. And in the Bible, God kept the topic of sex as a taboo and it has to stay like that. Why are you talking about sex? Why don’t you talk about Jesus only?”
A4P: Very, very important questions; but before I address your questions, let me say this regarding two statements you made at the beginning of your message:
Oops! I got sidetracked and completely forgot to mention this for the last three or four days. My! Where did the time go? I’m not really sure.
Anyways, here is the message I forgot to mention for the last three days:
Sex before marriage comes in a package with death; death in different “shapes and sizes” such as depression, being haunted by suicidal thoughts, despair, loneliness, sleeplessness, hopelessness, feeling of emptiness, sexually transmitted disease (STD), fear, guilt, shame, regret, loss of joy and peace, loss of opportunity to get married, loss of love, passion and sensitivity to the Spirit and Word of God, sexual dysfunction, and the list goes on and on and on.
Jesus once said: “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:47-51)
Jesus is our Manna we need to eat day in and day out for us to live in Him. Jesus is the Word of God. (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1, 14; Revelation 19:13)
That is the only way we can grow in Christ-likeness. Otherwise we only carry the name “Christian” and live like pagans who have no God.
So, repetition is the only way we live Christianity. We need to read the Word again and again; think about it again and again; preach it to our own hearts again and again. Then the Word takes over our lives. ///
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.” (Psalm 1:1-3)
If blessed is this kind of person; a person who is not blessed is the opposite of the person who is described above.
Meditate the Word of God DAY AND NIGHT so that you will be blessed. ///
God is good all the time; and all the time, God is good!
Here again God opened another door for me to travel to another city to worship Him with His people.
May 14 & 15, I will be ministering in Lancaster, PA at the Light of the World Evangelical Church. If you live in that area, I invite you to come out and worship God with us. If you don’t live around Lancaster area but knows someone who does, invite them over on my behalf. For more info about this conference, call the number you see on the flyer.
