Show and Tell

For show and tell I was going to share a quote, which I also blogged about by the philosopher St. Augustine. Who greatly struggled with his sex addiction. He loved having sex and did so with many women. He was so addicted that he even had sex in a church once. However, St. Augustine knew what he was doing was wrong and the moral person in him wanted to stop and end his addiction, but the sinful part of him wanted more and more and more. St. Augustine prayed to God and in his prayer he said this  “Lord, Make me chaste, but not yet.” This reminded me of what we talked about with the reading in the Screwtape Letters. We all say yes Lord I know I keep doing wrong but I don't want to stop just yet. I will stop later. What we need to remember is that there may not be a later. We do not know at what hour Jesus will return. We need to be ready and since we do not know of His return then we should not say I can sin today but I will not tomorrow. We need to live pure lives that glorify God EVERY day of our lives. That has really stuck with me from this class so that was my show and tell.

Thank you =)
