Free love. ( Romans 6 v 23 )

 In one of Rudyard Kipling's stores,he had an old soldier saying,

                                  'Ship me somewheres east of Suez,where the best 

                                   is like the worst,

                                  Where there aren't no Ten Commandments, an' a man

                                   can raise a thirst.

I remember reading this ,' The first of all the human instinct is the instinct to do what we like. instead of doing what we should know what is best for us.' The world is like the prodigal ,they want to throw off what they see as unnecessary restraints. In the sixties there was a movement that  was called ,'Free love', it sought to throw off restraints as regards ,marriage,birth control,and adultery.The problem is we need moral guidelines, but whose moral guidelines,we feel we do not need God's moral standards,with the result  human life is undermined,we have literally millions of abortions being carried out every year,confusion as regards sex,and gender,marriage has been eroded children are suffering.Society continues to distance themselves from God,seeing Him as an  unessential of whom whom they are not accountable too,or that He does not exist. To leave God out of ones life,or to deny His existence is a disastrous. road to take,it leads to a situation of everyone doing whats right in their own eyes,with little regard to the consequences.Death will reveal all,as we stand before the God we have ignored,and the Saviour we have rejected.

                                            'It is said, nothing is free, there is always a cost'
