6B RELIGI0N/®5e Cliarlottc ^e«t Thursday, July 6, 2006 Sexual immorality ADVERTISEMENT Continued from page 5B offers the solution, of marriage so that they would at least practice such activity in God’s plan (marriage). This is defi- nitdy not the best reason to get married, but it was an important one for the Corinthian church. We should not assume that Paul wanted people to rush into marriage just to avoid sexual temptations. Marriage is a very serious commitment. As Paul win explain later in this chapter, the right to remarry after a divorce under Scripture is very limited. Individuals need to seriously consider whether he or she will spend the rest of his or her life with the person he or she chooses. Coufies seeking marriage should definitely seek the Lord on this one, and tiiey need to seek godly mar riage counseling to ensure that they are right for each other. 3. How were husbands and wives to be sensitive to the intimate needs of each other? (v.3) In any marriage, there are needs that each spouse needs to be fulfilled. This is espe cially true when it comes to each spouse’s sexual needs. Couples must not deprive each other of the olher’s nat ural and reasonable sexual intimacy Remember,' Gk)d • created male and female (G«i 1:27); therefore, such activity is part of God’s design for humanity Now God only permits this activity in the bonds of marriage. Christians cannot be like the world and have sKcual activity outside of God’s boxmds. In marriage, two individu als become one flesh (Gen 2:24). Now they have power Jakes urges care of kids Continued from page 4B asked them to reach out to unrelated children that are in need of guidance. ‘You don’t have to be related to be connected to somebody to make a difference in their fife,” he said “We need to empower the next generation.” While the focus was on helpir^ children, the message, sent via satellite to 350 prisons across the country also touched on the importance of families and the preblems that absent fathers present. He called absent fathers black America’s “generational curse” and saidtheyhaveto figure out a waj'’to break that curse, start ing with teaching boys the importance of fatherhood and about taking responsibility for their actions. “Fatherhood is not optional,” Jakes said. “Rather than focus ing on the fathers that left, we need to focus on the, ones who stayed.” The Essence Cares campaign is being promoted in a short video featuring celebrities such as Oprah Wnfi'ey Danny Glover, Mariah Carey and Harry Belafonte. It was played before Jakes’ address. Jakes thinks that this project could affect change. “One of the mistakes we have made historically is ... to think that there’s only one way to attack an issue,” he said. “But through a multiplicity of ways I think we really can make a dif ference. I’m an optimist.” He shared with the group seven steps for helping get the most out of children that included exposing them to many different things, connecting with them and stressing the value of educa tion. Saturday’s seminars also featured Mary J. Bhge, gospel singer Yolanda Adams, hhchael Eric Dyson and activist Angela Davis. Davis spoke on what she calls the over-incarceration of black youth and renewed her call for the abolition of the coim- tr^s current prison system. She called for an end to mandatory sentencir^ and the deciiminalization of drug use. "Helping persons to realize God's creative intent for his or her life as designed by God’s Word in the areas of evangelism, worship, discipleship, ministry and fellowship."

Rather, it is mutual submission toward each other (Eph. 5:21-23). 4. What exception does Paul give conceiriing this general rule? (v. 5) Under normal circum stances, married couples must not withhold sexual pleasure fi'om each other. Verse 5 does provide an exception, a time for fasting and praying. This time should not be too long, and this should be a mutual decision. It is important that married couples do not use spiritual concerns to withhold sexual pleasure firom the other part ner, especially if this would tempt the other partner to become unfaithful. The Prophet’s Column, Inc. 6183 NC 109 South Wadesboro,NC 28170-9533 “I WAS DEAD” - Part V (Last Part) J.M. Little, Teacher He ceased from all his works. He lay there dead, slain by the eternal Spirit at the Feet of Christ with all hope gone. Just a few minutes later, the Holy Spirit raised him from the dead by revealing Christ to his heart as the One who died for him. He was made to rejoice in Christ. The burden of sin rolled off his back. He saw Christ had ble-ssed him from eternity to eternity through these Words: “Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” (Rev. 19:9) Praise the Lord! My friends, that young man was your teacher and editor. 1 rejoice in Christ my Life, my Redeemer. You can have that religious life and all your churchanity.. .it is just dead works. Yes, I was dead back there in all that religion. I was more religious than you. You may say I'm judging others to be lost because I was lost back there and didn’t know it. And you may say, as many have: ‘T didn’t come that way!” Hold your seats now: then I say you don’t have anything! You missed Christ altogether! Go on in your religion and “easybelieVingism”, which will land you in hell! May my Heavenly Father, the God of all grace, awaken you from the dead now. May He so convict you of whom you are that you cannot rest until you rest in Christ. Praise the Lord I can say with.the Apostle Paul: “I know Whom I have believed.'’ In closing, let me say with all emphasis: “My Heavenly Father never varies in how He saves a sinner.” We have the record in Holy Writ: “Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, FOR A PATTERN to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting.” (I Tim. 1:16) God saved me just like He saved the Apostle Paul. And every soul who is ever saved is saved just like Paul was saved! Amen! Amen!
