The most important thing to remember as we talk about sexual purity is this: God is for you! God wants you to win. People often view God as their adversary when it comes to sex: “He’s against me. He’s hates sex. I’m repulsive to Him. He’s ashamed of me for what I’ve done. And to be perfectly honest, I can’t blame Him much.” Misconceptions such as this only serve to convince us that our situation is hopeless and drive us farther away from the arms of Him whose love and support and affirmation are the only thing that will enable us to win this war with the flesh.

GOOD FRIDAY

BASIC R.C. BELIEF The traditional day upon which Jesus died, and hence it is given great importance. It is observed as a day of fasting and abstinence, and the faithful are urged to receive Holy Communion on this day.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT Jesus was not crucified on Friday. Had He been entombed Friday night, he would have been in the grave less than 36 hours. Wednesday is a more probable day.

There is little value commemorating a day by ritualistic celebration, especially when the very ritual clouds the reality of what He really did for us at Calvary. It is better to know why He died than to know when He died.
