Matthew 5:17-18<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Increasingly I am reminded that I am no longer considered part of the youth generation. My tastes have more and more been termed DATED<\/em>. I guess that is okay with me, since in the 79 years of my life I have accumulated experiences and memories that are of immense value; perhaps not to others . . . but certainly to me. I wear the title proudly!<\/p>\n

There was a time when we kids never used to complain that we were bored. We were too busy playing games outside and felt we were abused when we had to come in the house for meals or for bed. I am sure I am dated<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It used to be proper to wait until you were married to live together. Now it seems to be a rare practice. Not only do couples move in with each other, but friends and family give approval for the practice. It is contrary to the Word of God<\/em> and not acceptable in His sight! Those who are living in this sinful lifestyle must stop it immediately and ask the Lord to forgive them. I am sure that you will agree that I am dated<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Changes in design, color preferences and tastes might change with no repercussions. But when we begin to change our behavior pattern in conflict with the Word of God<\/em>, we are in big trouble. WE MUST BE WILLING TO BE DATED<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
