Many think that God's Law is just about morality, social ethics, and spirituality. What they miss is the practical aspects of the Law. For example, some people think that sexually transmitted diseases are God's way of punishing sinners. Nope, STI's are the very thing from which God's Law is trying to protect us. Duh! Disease is the natural result of people sharing various forms of intimacy without discretion. Welcome to "sinful" flesh. Now repent. Reported cases of the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis all increased between 2020 and 2021 – reaching a total of more than 2.5 million reported cases – according to CDC’s final surveillance data. To reverse this trend, CDC is calling for more groups from local, healthcare, industry, and public health sectors to contribute to STI prevention and innovation efforts. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2023/s0411-sti.html

I have heard that many Christians do not believe that hell is real. I found this to be absurd, but I am open to hearing both sides of the argument. So that is what has lead me to proposing this question, is Hell real? If it is or is not please explain. P.S. I for one do believe it exist. Sorry for the pun in the poll but is just too much for me to resist.

Can anyone out there relate? On April 25th I attempted to do something too strenuous for me and incurred an injury that just isn't healing. For nearly a month now I have been in much pain and disability from this stupid wrong decision. Perhaps I should call it a sin? (Because I gambled with my body and now I am paying the price.) I feel like God might be angry with me and is letting me suffer the consequences of bad judgement (because I should never have risked it.) I wish I could turn back the clock and undo pushing my body like that! Is God punishing me? I can't shake the guilt. What if I NEVER heal (or heal wrong??) I'm scared.

Daily Reading 71 If you prefer, you can look up the following verses in your own Bible, or by whatever means and in whichever version you choose. Matthew 14:1-21 Leviticus 20-21 Proverbs 30 Audio 4:14 Audio 4:18 Audio 3:51 The above verse addresses are linked to Bible Gateway. That is an easy way to read (or listen to) the Bible verses, and choose your version. Personally, I prefer written, that way I can go at my own pace, and think about it, before moving on. Nothing wrong with doing either or both. The Bible says faith comes by hearing. See the picture below to get an idea of what to expect if you follow the above links. Note: The audio will not play the exact verses, it will play the whole chapters, in which the verses exist. Thank you Lord for making the your word so accessible for us in these times. Amen
