The M-Word: Masturbation: A biblical perspective

This one’s about masturbation. You’ve been warned.

Is there a more awkward subject in all Christendom? Controversial, sure–but mostly it’s just not fun to talk about. Of all the sex issues, it’s the squirmiest.

And if we’re talking about getting God’s perspective on it, there’s just not much to go on. In the past, people have tried to translate certain verses–including, notoriously, the sin of Onan in Genesis 38:6-9–to refer to masturbation, but it’s quite a stretch. There’s no rule to scribble on a post-it note and slap on the bathroom mirror. I dig deeper. I engage the Bible.

L for Letters           Letters and letter 

writing is disappearing in this age!

It’s a fact that few years back we all used to send letters to our near and dear through post cards or inland letters via post office.

The main media of communication at that time was the inland letters and the post cards, of course some use envelops too.

That was really a bygone age!

J Is For Joy

What is the definition of Joy?

The dictionary meaning is = to experience great pleasure or delight. Or the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation etc. 

A famous Christian author said: “Joy is the experience of gratitude, of being glad for life in the presence of the Giver of life. Joy is also the will to give back to another something of what one is and has for the sheer desire of sharing the gift.  Joy is a blend of gratitude and giving.” 

We are living in a society where we can buy almost anything with our money and power, probably we can buy or get momentary joy or pleasure with our resources. But that is not the joy I am going to talk about, instead it is the really Joy one can obtain by his faith.  That is not a momentary one but a permanent one.  Of course it has a great price tag attached to it! But at the same time it is given freely and will always be free.
