Love Is Not Safe!

By C. S. Lewis

There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket of coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell. From The Four Loves

Truth

Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But happy is he who keeps the law.

 

If there was only one reason to teach the Word of God. This would be it. To reveal the truth. And that people see that there is a way to obtain real fulfilling joy. Without the truth, the world is stumbling into chaos.

Love This So Much

Amen

10 Years Strong

Hello. I’m pretty sure you all know, blogging plays a big part of my life.

Today I enter my 11th year of blogging. Yes, I started blogging 10 years ago! That’s pretty crazy. In a good way.

You can read everything I’ve posted (on the right bar, and scroll down), even from when I used Xanga. And I’ve attempted to organize my blog posts by type.

My dream and plan with blogging is to update, encourage, teach, and entertain, which are things I love doing anyway. And I hope at least some of you have been blessed by what I’ve blogged so far.

I love it and will continue. Don’t worry.

Lastly, I would like to say a big thank you to God, for being my main motivation and my rock. And you know, God usually speaks and reminds me of things while I blog. So it’s been a really effective way that He uses to show He’s trying to build a relationship with me. Looking back, I’m really grateful for my life of blogging. If you scroll down, you can see that I rarely miss a whole month of blogging. #thankful

 

Alright. Aaron Out.

Strong Desire

No one blogs anymore do they?

Sin Sin Sin Covet Sin

In relation to yesterday’s post, as God was teaching me about lust on Friday, I get a free lesson about it again yesterday. Paul says coveting is idolatry.

Colossians 3:5 (NKJV)  Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
This teaches another aspect of lust: When we covet, it’s a strong desire for something. If we desire it more than what our discipline or conscience says, then it’s a lust. In fact, we may even take it a step further and take action to fulfill the desire. For example, watching porn, binge shopping, stealing. If we knowingly do something that we know we shouldn’t, that’s basically trusting and worshipping another ‘god’. For example, Sex or Materialism. 
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Ask yourselves if you love God enough to keep his commandments.
