I think God smiles upon anyone who thinks through practical ways to live a life set apart for Him. <BR/><BR/>And once we can look upon HIM as the ultimate treasure of our lives, no "sacrifice" becomes too great a thing to give up for Him. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you in your journey towards Him :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913275600370264210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354466.post-86103359522503256702007-04-30T18:17:00.000+10:002007-04-30T18:17:00.000+10:00Hey Eddie!I just had to comment when I read your p...Hey Eddie!<BR/>I just had to comment when I read your post... I applaud you in your decision to not meet up with someone of a female gender... <BR/><BR/>it's always so very encouraging when you see your fellow siblings in Christ being serious about living a holy life... you're right, it's so much better to go overboard than to be thrown overboard...<BR/><BR/>Not to sound too fundamentalistic, but i think if by having 1:1 time with someone you feel that you're running the risk of compromising your integrity, then i think it's better to stay off that and run the risk of not getting married...<BR/><BR/>i also read somewhere that it's not just sexual purity that we should be cautious of (in terms of 1:1 meetings) but the sense of intimacy with someone who isn't your spouse, which made sense to me...<BR/><BR/>Whoa, talk about verbal diarrhoea! Just wanted to say how encouraged I was reading your post... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354466.post-66122315927315968622007-04-28T20:18:00.000+10:002007-04-28T20:18:00.000+10:00Hey Janice.

Alone time is *always* temptation time. <BR/><BR/>One common argument is that you can't get to know a person until you're alone with them. I actually believe that you'll know who the real person is when you see him/her with their good friends. 1:1 time is often not the best representation of who a person really is. <BR/><BR/>Anyways ... it's just my opinion of what this generation needs to do in order to be a light and maintain integrity. <BR/><BR/>Have a great time on your mission trip. My prayers are with you :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913275600370264210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354466.post-3153514405322962432007-04-28T17:36:00.000+10:002007-04-28T17:36:00.000+10:00Thank you eddie...just what i needed to hear.lol a...Thank you eddie...<BR/>just what i needed to hear.<BR/>lol and a little question about the "not meeting one-on-one with someone of the opposite gender"... how would you get married? in the case you're not already :)<BR/>i'm leaving on the 15th of May~<BR/>take care of yourself!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917993044186147880noreply@blogger.com
