Must we accept the practices and beliefs of others just to gain favor in their sight, even if there is a greater purpose involved?
May we never conform to the ways of this world, rather live as if Christ were returning today.
Could an outward appearance of love be an urgent warning for someone to turn away from that which can harm or even destroy them or their fellow man?
1 Corinthians 13:6 states that "love rejoices in the truth."
James 5:19-20
My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

A Daily Prayer Maybe All Christians Should Consider
Psalm 119:33-40
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end.
34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.
35 Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.
36 Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!
37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
38 Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared.
39 Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good.
40 Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!

The Truth About Adultery
According to God; looking at pornography, sex outside of marriage, and even lustful thoughts are considered adultery; not just physically cheating on your spouse.
http://read.ly/Matt5.27.nasb
http://read.ly/Matt5.28.nasb
Adultery is not funny, sexy, or awesome; adultery is NOT cool, it is a serious offense (not a joke) and this applies to men AND women.
ADULTERY IS SIN, it's a sin against yourself, your home, your church, your nation and it is a sin against God.
Adulterers among others will not inherit the kingdom of God.

If you don't kill it, it will kill you and drag you into Hell.
STOP IT… before it's too late.

Reasons to Obey God
Example #1
Joshua 1:5-7
5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life.
Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you
or forsake you.
6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit
the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according
to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn
from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

Why obey God?
Throughout history God promises His people that they will… be
protected from their enemies, receive blessing, prosper, overcome,
resist evil, recieve guidance and wisdom, etc… IF they believe,
trust, obey/keep HIS commandments, statutes, ordinances, decrees.
