Why do so many Christian women end up having abortions? As I thought about this, I then came to the question, why do so many Christians, young men & women, end up committing sexual immorality outside of marriage?
I have several thoughts.
- One reason is the continued delay in marriage until the late years of life. Now it is in the mid 20's for most people
- another is the idea that we all need college education to 'make it' in life.
- Tied in to the above is the worldy dating scenario, where people date because that is what the world does. But the purpose of courtship & betrothal should only be with marriage in mind. So many do it because they are lonely.
- There is also the lack of teaching of holiness in the church. The lack of balance regarding evangelism. It seems that all the talk is about evangelism, but there is not nearly enough about living Holy lives, set apart for the Lord. How we live does more to evangelize than all the programs we have to "reach" people.
I so wish we could change the world by our lives, and no thave to speak so many words.
