Are you still Dating?

From our Worship series:

I think many of us prefer dating Jesus rather than marrying Him!
Jesus has popped the question and we love the fact that He has asked, but are we really ready for that type of commitment?

There is an old saying I used to hear when I was a young man. It is definitely not from the bible but I do believe that many men in particular find this to be true.  The saying is: " Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" We all want the reward without the work or the obligation or the committed relationship.
God set this universe up with laws that are always for our benefit.  The 10 commandments were for the benefit of the Israelites. There were great rewards promised to those who kept the law. The law didn't work because of the whisperer.  The whisperer still speaks to all of us daily. "There is an easier better way to feel good. You don't need to follow Gods rules. That's crazy. I have a better way that will give you a "feel good high" quicker! All these lies stem from the Garden of Eden's first lie, "You surely won't die!"

The deceiver and his lies are still affecting the human race every day. His mission is very simple. To keep you and those you love from entering into a committed relationship with Jesus.

There is a reward for those who seek God and are willing to take their relationship to the next level! The deceiver offers quick temporary satisfaction that leads to more want. God gives what lasts for eternity.

I will see you all soon! Love, pastor kent
