azstroh added a text contribution Drunk with LoveThe Bible doesn't allow you to get drunk on wine or beer, but it does allow you to get intoxicated with the love and the body of your wife. I'm trying to figure out what part of the intoxication metaphor to apply. Perhaps that you drink more than you need, you're not wanting just a taste of your wife's love, you want to drink and drink and drink some more until you've got a good "buzz" going.

Remember how you rescued me from the mess I made of my life, rather than the mess itself."

azstroh added a text contribution Matthew 7 - The Hard WaySCRIPTURE: Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. OBSERVATION: Jesus knows this concept better than any of us. What could be greater testimony to this statement: "the way is hard that leads to life" - than the cross on which Jesus would later die? The way to life is so hard that it could… Read more »
