Natural man is naturally drawn to sex. God made man a sexual being. And He told Adam and Eve to multiply and fill the earth. But, God created the sexual desire for good. Man has perverted this to the point of leaving off the focus of reproduction and uses it for his own lusts.
In Exodus 32: Moses had gone up into the mountain to meet with God. He stayed up there a long time. And the people got restless and nervous. What if Moses wasn’t coming back? What if he had died up there? They were a people who needed a leader; they could not function by themselves. So, Aaron, the brother of Moses, who should have known better, told the peopl to make their own gods to, "go before us." So, Aaron told them to gather all their gold jewelry and bring it together. Aaron then made a golden calf, and the people worshipped it.
A bull is a symbol of fertility, virility, and sexuality. Satan knew this. He uses sex to trap people. This temtation is so common among people that many of the crimes committed today are the result of sexual perversions. Satan delights in tempting people with sex. He knows that this God-given desire is easily perverted, and that the ways it is used outside of the marriage bond is nothing more than sin.
When I was young, it was not thinkable to let anyone know that a daughter was pregnant without marriage. Many girls were sent away on (trips and visits to relatives) to hide this fact. But in just my lifetime, pregnancy without marriage is an acceptable life. Living with someone without marriage is so common that people don’t know who is married and who isn’t. Many women who are approaching the years when pregnancy is dangerous will have sperm planted in their wombs to have the child they want. All these ways destroy the very thing that God instituted – marriage.
The reason God instituted marriage was so that the new born baby would have a mother and a father. It is essential for a healthy, well-adjusted child to have the benefit of a father and a mother. But circumstances today prohibit this. So many children are growing up with one parent. We have a society of people who are damaged by other then normal homes of origin. Even when both parents are present in a home, there often is dysfunctional behavior that warps a child’s personality.
All this heartache and misfortune happens because people have left God’s ways. God always does good. Evil happens when man strays away from God’s ways. And no one can say they don’t know God’s ways; not in this nation. People go away from the ways of God because they want to. The will of people can make choices whether to obey God or not to. And the world is reeling in sin an confusion, crime and evil because of the choice to go man’s way instead of God’s way.

Sandra,,It is an incredible thing to able to see it all around us. The lawlessness is a very scary thing and that\’s why the word says in 2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. The U.S. has steadily disintegrated morally over the years. It\’s just another sign of the imminent return of our Lord. Thank you Sandra for this timely article.
