Is it wrong?

Question: "Is it wrong for a couple to "cohabitate" or live together before they are married?"

Answer: The answer depends somewhat on what you mean by “living together.” If you mean having sexual relations – it is definitely sinful. Premarital sex is repeatedly condemned in Scripture along with all other forms of sexual immorality (Acts 15:20; Rom 1:29; 1 Cor 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 12:21; Gal 5:19; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1Thess 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence outside of (and before) marriage. Sex before marriage is just as wrong as adultery and other forms of sexual immorality, because they all involve having sex with someone you are not married to.

If by cohabiting you only mean living in the same house, that is perhaps somewhat of a different issue. Ultimately, there is nothing wrong for a man and a woman to live in the same house – IF there is nothing immoral taking place. However, the problem arises in that there is still the appearance of immorality (Ephesians 5:3) and it will be a tremendous temptation for immorality. People will think that the two of you are sleeping together no matter what you say – that is just the nature of things. Even though you may not be doing anything wrong by living in the same house, you are still giving the appearance of sin by “living together.” God knows your heart and your conduct. However, since the Bible tells us to avoid the appearance of evil (Ephesians 5:3), it would definitely be best for you to find separate living arrangements – for appearance sake – until you are married.

PRAYER

I asked God to take away my pain.
God said, No
It is not for me to take away.
But for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No
His spirit is whole,
His body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
It isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No
I give you blessings;
Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No
Suffering draws you apart from worldy cares
And brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No
You must grow on you own,
But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God to bring things that I might enjoy life.
God said, NO
I will give you life
So that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me love others.
God said, Ahhh ….
Finally you have the idea ...

Be back

After about 12 hours on the train, we were back. Back to our familiar life and city.

During these two days I took nearly 300 pics and most of them were rubbish. But if you take TEN pics you will surely get ONE that not so bad. So I CAN always get some pics to SHOW OUT.

Enjoy the pics.

Such a summer

It has been more than 38 Centigrade for three days
In the daytime, it's ok. We hide in the room with centre air-condition.
But when the nighttime come, suffering time begin.
I always have a cold bath. Then for a while, I feel cool.
And after the few minutes, I feel hotter and hotter.

Then I found this picture taken at the beginning of 2005.
It was a cold winter day, very cold.
I close my eyes, thinking 、、

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

这样的一个夏天

连续第三天38度以上的高温
白天还好,藏在公司里的25、6度的恒温下
到了晚上难熬的日子开始了
先是洗澡,洗完很短的时间里
感觉一下凉爽
然后很快全身就热起来了

看看羊子冬天拍的天空
很冷很冷
闭上眼睛,感受一下……

I'll Be There For You

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even
your year, but
{::chorus::}
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mama warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees, and
{::chorus::}
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me

Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the best with
Someone who always laughs at
Even when I'm at my worst, I'm best with you
Yeah!
{::chorus::}
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too

Listen it here.

我会去那儿陪你

这样说来,没人告诉你生活竟是这个样子
工作是个玩笑,一文不名,爱情未到已经死了
在那些倒霉的几天,几月,甚至几年里
你好像一挂二档就熄火
但是
我会去那儿陪你
当大雨开始倾盆
我会去那儿陪你
一如既往
我会去那儿陪你
因为你也曾去那陪我

八点上班,十点了你还赖在被窝
早餐烧糊了,事情一团糟
妈妈提醒过你,这些事情会发生
但她却未曾提起,何时世界将把你摔到在地
从来没有人懂我
从来没有人看我
因为只有你,是唯一知道我滴

有人陪着面对每一天
使每天都精彩纷呈
有人共同开心玩笑
在最阴霾的日子,有你带来彩虹
Yeah!

我会去那儿陪你
我会去那儿陪你
我会去那儿陪你
因为你也曾去那陪我
