Daily Devotional

Treat your body as God’s temple. If unmarried, keep yourself free from all forms of immorality. If you are married, be faithful to your spouse. Adultery is a sin. Keeping a side-chick or side-cock is evil. There is no justification whatsoever for the act of sex outside of the holy domain of marriage. Anyone who considers this statement about adultery offensive is another Herod in the making. Like St. John the Baptist, we would not stop proclaiming the truth.

A Christian who rejects the cross fails to carry the extra oil. For instance, as a youth, you may have the experience of your peers laughing at you and calling you a fool for not joining them to partake in the pleasures of the world.

Always remember the end; always remember that even the air you breathe is borrowed and you will have to relinquish it someday. Thinking of our death often helps us to be less materialistic; it also helps us to forgive easily. Reminding ourselves that we shall die helps us to take life lightly and refrain from complaining when we don’t seem to have all we need.
