[God] no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. 14 You ask, “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth.

If you’ve ever seen a lightning bolt, heard thunderstorms, felt the magnitude of an earthquake, smelled the potent odor of sulfur in a natural hot spring or tasted a hurricane’s wrath, you realize how completely at God’s mercy we are.

It’s the intimacy that scares people away from ANRs. Extreme intimacy is a terrifying novelty to citizens of a fallen world.

18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, … 20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? 21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. 22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. 23 He dies for…
God chastises his children when they choose to toy with biblical boundaries. By doing this, they put themselves in bondage and rob themselves of peace. God shows he’s really not having any of that by disciplining us severely whenever we transgress his commands. Let’s fight for absolute purity and blamelessness. God bless. Blamelessness

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely…

The context is vastly different. God considers context and motive. A Chinese woman breastfeeding a deathly sick adult in public…
