If you remove God from abstinence education and turn obedience into one of fear and shame, you rob teenagers and adults of the joy of the knowledge their obedience and resistance to temptation is not merely the denial of the flesh, but an act of glorifying and worshiping God.
We would be wise to realize we’re called to be local influencers, not global influencers. Yet many of us mask delusions of grandeur and fame in verbiage like “the city gates” when the borders we’ve outlined for that city stretch far beyond our actual community. This is a folly to which both men and women fall victim when they grow unsatisfied with the obligations God has entrusted to them.
If Based On Scripture, Why Doesn’t Everyone See it? As with many of my articles, this one started out as a reply to a question on Facebook.

With what we’ve examined so far, it seems to me Our Brother was seeking an experience and didn’t find it. Nothing in his letter about “Why I Left Reformed Theology” lends confidence to an understanding of what he was drawn to or departed from. It’s as if he arrived in the parking lot, didn’t read the pamphlet, came in attracted by the lights, and left disappointed after his vision didn’t comport with the rich doctrinal and historical context of Reformed Theology.
