Okuyacağınız bu materyali geliştirdim ve uzun yıllar boyunca birçok genç insana ve ebeveynlerine aktardım. Şu an evli olan kızlarım ergenlik çağındayken, hem kızlarımla hem de onlarla flört etmek isteyen delikanlılarla paylaşmak ve tartışmak için materyali daha da geliştirdim. Aşağıda yer alan yazı, “Cinsel Paklık Rehberi” başlıklı uzun bir materyalin kısaltılmış halidir.

Kevin DeYoung is a pastor and an excellent writer and thinker, and his resources can be found at the ministry Clearly Reformed. Kevin has started an explainer video series on God’s attributes. The first one on the doctrine of divine simplicity is pretty unique.

Our society holds on to youthfulness with a white-knuckled grip. We worship youth and consider the elderly at best, useless; and at worst, disposable. God’s perspective is very different.

Я разработал этот обучающий материал и в течение многих лет делился им с молодыми людьми и их родителями. Когда мои (ныне уже замужние) дочери были подростками, я его немного дополнил и обговаривал с ними и с парнями, которые приглашали их на свидания. Ниже приводится краткий вариант полной версии материала «Руководство по сексуальной чистоте».

'n Uittreksel uit die Hemel: Bybelse Antwoorde op Algemene Vrae Boekie:  Die Skrif gee aan ons baie beelde wat vol implikasies is oor die Hemel.  Sit hulle bymekaar, en hierdie legkaartstukke vorm ʼn pragtige prentjie.  Byvoorbeeld, ons word gesê die Hemel is ʼn stad (Hebreërs 11:10; 13:14).  Wanneer ons die woord stad hoor, behoort ons nie kop te krap en te dink, Ek wonder wat dit beteken?  Ons verstaan stede.  Stede het mense, geboue, bedrywighede, byeenkomste, kuns, musiek, atletiek, gebeurtenisse van alle soorte, en goedere en dienste.

Just because we now have explanations and the ability to predict phenomena like eclipses, we somehow overlook many things, including that the only way eclipses work so perfectly is because of the same relative size due to the distance involved. 

I understand Scripture to teach that leaving instructions for what others are to do with our assets after we die does not equate with what we do with them while we’re alive. Hebrews 9:27 (NLT) says, “each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment.”  

In a Q&A about giving and The Treasure Principle at The People’s Church in Cincinnati, Randy explains the challenge to “Live for the line rather than for the dot.”
