Millions around the world commit adultery or fornication with no remorse. Even government officials, religious leaders, top businessmen, sports figures and entertainment icons acknowledge their adulterous lifestyles. When asked if they think adultery is ok, most people will admit that it is wrong. But many, though they say that adultery is wrong, condone it or practice it themselves! Some even practice “situation ethics”—they believe that it is OK to commit adultery under certain circumstances. (more…)

Building trust in a relationship is the greatest key to developing intimacy. Trust takes time to build, but can be torn down very quickly. What qualities help build trust in marriage? First and foremost is the quality of absolute faithfulness. Adultery will quickly devastate trust. Real faithfulness involves not only avoiding sexual contact with someone other than your mate, but also staying away from the “edges.” This means avoiding all forms of pornography, and not allowing yourself to develop other emotionally close relationships with members of the opposite sex.

The subject of divine healing is a greatly neglected part of most people’s Christianity. It is rarely even discussed in “mainstream” churches. The primary reason for this neglect is that a very real Satan the Devil has blinded the vast majority of humanity—including most professing Christians! Unfortunately, today, many churchgoers do not really study the Bible. They do not look to it as the real “authority” in their lives. They are content to follow the teachings and traditions of men—which are all too often diametrically opposed to the Bible. We can prove the matter of divine healing clearly from the inspired word of God. And the biblical proofs are more plain and pervasive than you have probably ever imagined.   (more…)
