Sex
God is not disgusted by sex. He ordained sex (Genesis 1:28). When a Christian man and woman get married they are joined in together in mind, spirit and body (Mark 10:6-8). The two become one. The most intimate knowledge in marriage comes about through these things in a Christian marriage. Christians can have a more stimulating sex life because Non-Christians cannot be joined together in the spirit. Men and women should offer their bodies to each other in marriage and should not deny each other except for a short time of fasting (1 Corinthians 7:5).
God made humans sexual beings. He made our nervous system capable of receiving pleasure during sex. Sex in marriage is good,holy and ordained of God.

Satan
It is a reality that we have an enemy that is prowling around like a lion who would like to harm us. We do not have to be fearful or paranoid about this, but it is helpful to be aware of his opposition. In this promise found in Isaiah, God makes the promise that no weapon that is formed against us by any enemy will prosper. He goes on to say that every tongue that judges us will be condemned. It is encouraging to be reminded that God is on our side and He is fighting for us. No matter what or who opposes us, our Father promises to be with us through every storm and protect us by His great power. This is the heritage of the Lord. This is our birthright! ...To live under the protection of the Most High (Psalm 91).
I realize that this does not mean that we are completely insulated from trials in life. Jesus said in John 16:33 that as long as we are in this world, we will experience trouble. Praise God though that Jesus has overcome the world! When I think of any opposing forces that are against me, whether they are earthly or demonic, I take great comfort in this promise from my Father... No weapon that has been created for my harm will succeed against me! That is my inheritance and it is your inheritance too!

The Skin We're In: Judging our own Flesh
The Skin We're In: Judging our own Flesh: Society has strong words about what we should look like and what is attractive to others. God has strong words, as well. He made us to reflect Him.
The Olivet Discourse: The Fall of Jerusalem, The End Times, and the Problem of the Abomination of Desolation
The Olivet Discourse: The Fall of Jerusalem, The End Times, and the Problem of the Abomination of Desolation: The timing of Jesus' prophecies in the 'Olivet Discourse' is confusing. Some seemed to be fulfilled by the fall of Jerusalem, but where does the abomination of desolation fit?
God's glory
In 2 Corinthians 4 Paul probably was probably remembering his experience on the road to Damascus. Then he saw the light from heaven. The light came from God who created light (Genesis 1:3). This links original creation with the new spiritual creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Paul had seen the face of the Son of God in the blinding light, which overwhelmed him on his way to Damascus (to persecute the Christians there) and he identified the face of Christ with the glory of God.

John Newton
On July 26, 1833, William Wilberforce received news that the Slavery Abolition Act passed—a culmination of four decades fighting to abolish slavery in the British Empire—crediting the influence of John Newton, a former captain of slave ships! Disgusted with his role in the slave trade, Newton left the sea.
Influenced by preachers John and Charles Wesley, he began Bible studies in his home, and eventually was ordained into Anglican ministry. For each Thursday evening prayer service, Newton wrote a hymn, including “Amazing Grace!" His remarkable journey was dramatically retold in the acclaimed Broadway musical, “Amazing Grace”
