brethren remember this who ever is called by the lord god is not of this world. And is our portion in this world? let me ask you all this do you all think the books in the bible are not in power today? i tell you nay. How it was in the days of old so it shall be now just alil differences in the laws.
Remember the scriptures Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord shall deliver him out of them all
whether we get married or not the time is short as it is written by the apostles and what was the lords first and most important commandment?
Is it not to love thy lord with all thy heart mind and soul?
but what did jesus say to peter when jesus asked peter do you love me?
after peter replied did not jesus say if you love me feed my sheep?
who are the sheep of the lord? Did not the lord say in the book of ezekiel that his flock are men?
Some of us will marry and some of us wont for we all got different spiritual gifts from god.
some men can not control them selves so the lord says if you cant control your self marry
but if you have power over your own spirit and say in your heart you want to hold fast to your purity than remain a virgin.
The time is short brethren
In a moment we are here then in a moment we went all the way of the earth and we lie with are fathers in the grave
Do not be like the children of desolate who set their hearts to have the best life in their time on earth
for that is their portion they wont live again, there hope is in the grave tho many of them marry and get rich and have a good life,
what is their end?
In the end of the day when we all sit before the judgment seat of god they who were written in the book of life, they who did god commandments, did not turn his face from shame for the lords sake and did that what the lord delight in will live for ever!
Do you understand what that means? No more tears, no more pain, no more paying for food, no more planting a vineyard and another eat, no more building a house and another live in it, no more sickness, the young lions wont starve for hunger no more, the vultures wont prey on the dead no more, the sheep and the cow wont cry for the captivity by their shepards. The sorrow of the whole world will be at rest.
but where will the wicked be? where will the rich be(they who were rich but not rich towards god?), where will the hypocrites and all the ungodly me n of the earth from every generation?
They will be in torment forever and ever....
So let them have joy in this world let us do thy lord commandments and hope to suffer for righteousness sake as our fathers did before us.
marriage is things of this world. dont let it consume you all remember what the real goal is. To be accounted worthy to live in the world to come
