He told me of a situation in which he was talking with and women who had been physically abused by her"babies daddy", when confronted with the idea that she could choose to walk away from that lifestyle and the abusive man, when she said " the truth is that you have no choice of who your babies daddy is." When I heard that for the first time I just sat with a stunned look on my face, I could not believe what I was hearing. I asked my friend and he said it was true ... "You have no choice of who your babies daddy is".
To try and cover all of the ways that this statement is just wrong boggles my mind! Let me touch on the thought that you have no choice in life but to have sex with every person you think you are attracted too. The idea that you have no choice! If you are not sexually active you do not run the risk of pregnancy. Abstinence works!
Now before you start posting replies that I not being realistic, I know and understand that our society says that people should be free to express their physical desires as they please (and with who they please) and to place restrictions upon them in not fair, realistic or practical. Fine, that is what society says, but since when do we take our cues from modern society.
As a Bible believing Christian, we take our cues from the Word of God! One man and one woman for a lifetime. Sex is a gift from God designed to be experienced within the bounds of marriage. Any deviation from the master plan is to head for trouble. The guidelines in the Word of God are there to protect us not keep us from enjoying life! Jesus said in John 10:10 that he came "that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
As our society continues to decay, the truth of the Word of God continues to shine even brighter. People are searching and desiring answers to the problems of life and we have the answers that seek. What are we doing to impact our sphere of influence? Would to God our lives would impact our communities, neighborhoods and our friends!
At least that is the way I see it

We see the result of our wicked choices daily. We have gotten used to sexual sin in our world and the result is seen in the broken lives left in the wake. We hear all the talk about "the children" and we need this new program and that new program for the children. I have a novel idea. How about marriage between one man and one woman for life, FOR THE CHILDREN!
God had a great plan for families when he instituted marriage. Let's get on track and make a committment for the family!
At least that's "the way I see it"
