Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

At least three of God’s holy Ten Commandments zero in on family fidelity, indicating that His love for the world (cf. John 3:16) includes His concern that the bonds of marriage remain unbroken. A great proportion of the world’s agony follows sexual infidelity. In the first issue of Newsweek for 2000, George F. Will pleaded for some new “John Wesley” to save Africa from self-destruction through the sexual promiscuity that spawns much of the AIDS plague.

 

One thoughtful writer in Spectrum magazine said: “Fornication causes more suffering in America than theft and perjury and random violence combined.... high rates of illegitimacy, single parent families, school dropouts following pregnancies,.... children who get involved in crime, drugs, poor educational performance, and often lifelong poverty..... Fornication is an evil far greater than modern society likes to acknowledge. It is sad that even churches are unwilling to give this sin the attention it so richly deserves” (Vol. 24, No. 2, p. 64). Straight talk!

 

Children find it hard to obey the 5th commandment to honor their parents when their parents behave dis-honorably; obedience to the 7th requires purity before marriage; and the 10th plumbs the depths of sexual irresponsibility—“You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife” (Ex. 20:17), thus condemning pornography, the beginning of adultery.

 

A Savior in stained glass cathedral windows is too far away; the world must (and yet will, thank God!) see Him presented as the One near to us, “Immanuel, God with us,” who knows our temptations, and who “condemned sin” in our human flesh and sinful nature, the One who can save from (not in), sin (cf. Matt. 1:23; Rom. 8:3, 4; John 12:32, 33).
