SINGLE YEARS
  "Are you free of a wife? If so, do not go in search of one." —1 Corinthians 7:27 smiley  1st reading
Those gifted to be single for the Lord do not commit sin if they marry (1 Cor 7:28). "But such people will have trials in this life, and these I should like to spare you" (1 Cor 7:28). All people have trials; so Paul must have been referring to unnecessary, additional trials. Moreover, it is sometimes good to undergo trials. However, Paul must not have been referring to "good" trials, or he would not have tried to spare anyone these trials. In summary, in the Scriptures the Lord indicates that those who marry but were called to be single will have unnecessary, additional trials, which it would have been better not to have undergone.

Is the Lord trying to show those who are single the way to the easiest, most comfortable life? No, He is trying to keep singles as free as possible to help them devote themselves entirely to Him (1 Cor 7:35). Some people in the Body of Christ need to be available for anything at any time to further God's kingdom. They must not be tied down by unnecessary trials. The exceptional freedom and availability of those single for the Lord is not for their ease and comfort; rather, it is for the good of the Body of Christ.

"The time is short" (1 Cor 7:29), and the times are stressful (1 Cor 7:26). Those of you called to the single life, the Body of Christ needs your gift now more than ever. Be single for the Lord and His kingdom.

Now about food sacrificed to idols.... Well then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: we know that idols do not really exist in the world and that there is no god but the ...One God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we exist; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things come and through whom we exist. Some people, however, do not have this knowledge. There are some who have been so long used to idols that they eat this food as though it really had been sacrificed to the idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled by it. In this way your knowledge could become the ruin of someone weak, of a brother for whom Christ died. By sinning in this way against your brothers, and injuring their weak consciences, it would be Christ against whom you sinned. That is why, since food can be the occasion of my brother’s downfall, I shall never eat meat again in case I am the cause of a brother’s downfall. 1 Corinthians 8:1-7,11-13

Love. A word that is small, but an emotion so powerful, that it lightens heavy loads. The sacrifices people make for love...look into your life, as I look into mine, what huge sacrifice have we made for the sake of love. Often times we only remember it as a "huge sacrifice" when there is a problem, never when the going is good. Its my right to discuss anything, its my right to dress any how, its my right to visit anywhere...yes as long as I am not infringing on anyone's right, but isn't that same with St. Paul? Yet he will not only give up sacrificed meat, but will give up meat entirely so as to keep a brother from commiting sin. Living in line with our rights is like obeying the letters of the law, it was what the pharisees did, but Christians go further, they look out for others even to giving up their rights. Debbie should mind the content of her jokes; because Ubenedictus may sin with it, SalC should be careful of her dressing because kamsified and Rich4God may be scandalized, Ify124 may forfeit jw watch towa magazine because mariagorreti may not have the knowledge to pick out the truth from the false, Italo should stop complaining about long sermon because francistony may stop going for mass. We've got a responsibilty of love, first to God and then to our fellow man.

Good morning all, a splendid day ahead.

Vig86: I think I need help. I have been away from God for a long time which I know but at every attempt that I make to bring myself closer the more far away I go from Him. Seriously, I need somebody to guide me. I am not a thief and I will never steal, I never smoked but within me I know I lack the presence of God. Please help your brother. I hardly go to church. The last time I went to church this year was on 1st of January this year (new year). I tried doing it on my own but NO WAY. I can't even pray but I always beg God for forgiveness. I am a Catholic. This is my pin 289C227A, 07066869898. All I need is advice please don't invite me to any church. Thank you.

Hey guys
I got a friend who woke up this morning to tell me he killed someone in his dream, he said there was a struggle between him and the guy and it was like if he didn't kill the guy, the guy would kill him, so he killed.

Personally I don't take dreams seriously, especially one from me. There was a time I dreamt that I was killed by an unknown assailant. 15yrs plus and counting, I am still alive.

Dreams can be one way God and some other spirits communicate with us but this communication is fairly rare.

Most often dreams are a reconstruction by our subconscious of things experienced during the day. When one dreams the approach should be to pray and let it go.

First of all, ask him what kinda film he watched, or what was he thinking about before he slept... Sometimes, our brain just act on what was on our mind before going to bed and we end up dreaming about it...
