Dear Editor,
This topic is for people to examine who they are and what they stand for.
Oftentimes you hear people say they want real talk. But when you bring the real talk to them most people seem to run from reality. Any common-sense person knows the world’s greatest challenge is not climate change which I do not believe in.
The greatest challenge is family and social issues along with values. The reality in the world today is that people practice deception. People do not want morality; what they want is tolerance.
Suddenly what was right and wrong from beginning to end does not appear true anymore. We only have 2 genders in this world, that is a man and a woman. There is no third gender (X?). What is normal and righteous is man is made for a woman. Not man and man or woman and woman or worst yet human and animal. Your first objective should be to do what is right, not to please society or government. Tolerating evil or immorality makes you just as wrong in the sight of God.
Let us be honest with ourselves and I am surely not perfect but I accept reality and truth. A woman living with a man not married is also an alternative lifestyle which is the couple’s choice but let us be honest with ourselves, the responsibility and value are lower because they refuse to value their worth. Do not be foolish to expect that lifestyle will bring a good outcome and be successful; it can be, but highly unlikely not.
A family without a father or mother together is difficult to blossom, because the foundation is weak. People making children and not willing to be responsible and be willing to sacrifice themselves for children should not have any.
When you look in the mirror what do you see? Who are you and what do you stand for? Are you for real or are you deceive? What you stand for and believe in, are you living it in reality?
It is nowhere in the bible it says it takes a village to raise a child; that is man-made theory. God says it takes a father and a mother as living an example to their children to foster a good upbringing.
Education is good, it can bring money, comfort and pleasure, but it does not guarantee happiness. The most important value is love. Love is not a feeling. The feeling comes and goes. Love is a commitment, love is obedience to the vows you make. Love does not cheat, love sacrifices. Love is honest and does not compromise on values. Love is forgiveness but it does not tolerate wrongdoing. Remember, forgiveness demands change in conduct.
We have many people living together for security and for things, but not for love. Love has to be tested, it is just like faith. Faith in God must be tested to prove itself. Love is proving when things go bad, not when things are good. Love is not ego or “me first”, it should be together.
Happiness is when a man or woman finds good opposite sex for a wife or husband who loves you for real. It is better to be alone than to live with a partner that you don’t love or they do not love you.
The conclusion is, Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Choices have consequences, choose wisely. God is love and He does not tolerate sin.
