Teach Lessons

[Wierrad]

Dear Lrod Jesus, I want to set examples for people that are good. When I was a kid there was a shirt I really wanted and I begged mine and I got it and then I felt bad for what I did and eventually gave it to a friend who lived in a lower income family than me much lower I tried to be more frugal in saving. I’m glad I didn’t get many video games. I did get one system and then I stopped afterwards. I really do not want to be selfish and greedy anymore like I was when I was a minor I’ve grown out of that. This is why I don’t get tattoos people want tattoos maybe they should just go with stickers and shirts and keychains. My sister even suggested a keychain of that same cartoon character. Because I would never grow out of it literally I love that cartoon but I never grew out of it, but the shirt I did same with a friend who is now taller than me probably gave it to his son by now her nephew or donated it to charity. I was glad I did that There’s a lot of women and meet. The very few of them are actually attractive to me however, none of their movies I’ve ever watched and I don’t intend to as a matter fact, one of them is in a movie that makes me really, really sad due to the tragedy of my pets. I’ve learned I’ve had enough obsession of slapstick and cartoons when I was younger, and I’m not gonna let it happen with women I’m not gonna idolize people, especially when it gets more disgusting and sexual. Sadly, many of those women either don’t believe in you turned on you or married an atheist to turned on you doing lots of fun biblical things although some are somewhat biblical. At least I think at least one of them seems to be biblical but I could be wrong. I’m never gonna meet them probably or highly unlikely to unless I stroke of luck but would that really be considered luck? No, just be some small random chance. Cause I don’t wanna get involved in anything bad rather I wanna have my own woman a wife that I can love and be happy with eventually not know much more about those girls. I can get into my own life, but never treat her like treasure or spoil her. I’ve also fall in love with women much older than me. As it shows women stay beautiful for a long time, even if they do age, thanks to things like sunscreen and healthier, living their age, even even slower and better. I want people to learn to be frugal and not idolize and worship and misjudge And around this time, two decades ago, some animal abuser passed away. Well he crawled into their territory. Animals do not like being picked up and held just so people can entertain them, especially having their mouths taped shut when they have long jaws, you know what kind of reptile I’m talking about they need to thermal regulate. I’m not giving names But many people worshiped and idolized. I’m saying oh he taught conservation he taught There’s lots of alternatives to teach conservation that are more friendly to the animals messages to stay away from them and to let them live in the wild like not keep them as pets and that they need to have space and Zeus as a matter fact the facility he worked at was not very well kept it was all just getting a big break and baking heroism When I posted that once people backlash me including other Christians and I’m trying to stick up for the rights of animals, but not be like that crazy group I am not a vegetarian, but I would like meat to be harvested more humanely for the environment and welfare of animals I’m not against Suze, but there needs to be lots of improvements. Trust me. I’ve worked at Zeus. And they are getting better overtime, but you know people need to learn to accept things certainly animals camping Zoo I come up with ideas and I’m just constantly ignored. That’s another thing I want to set that good example. I’ve never seen a Tasmanian devil or a pangolin or dinosaur yet I love them all. Nature shows documentaries without having to touch or harm them or museum specimens even cartoons have taught me to learn about them and love them and they’re not always like you think they are in the cartoons. It’s still fun to enjoy them and love them. People justify the Animal has to be present so people learned to love and respect them, but that is far from the truth. If we really loved them, we would let them live in nice and environments and if we can’t see them, we leave them alone. Long time ago, I wanted to go to this really what looked like a nice place where they kept animals as decorations, but unbeknownst to me until more recently they were not happier than that environment. It was a place made more for people and not so much the animals, knowing what’s best for them I’m glad I didn’t have to go back or go there. Please teach people to understand and love. In Jesus Name Amen.

 

[Articles]

We join with you in prayer in Jesus' name and we thank God for the work He has already done in your heart. We hear your desire to set a good example, to turn away from selfishness and greed as you have matured, and to live frugally and generously. That is evidence of God's grace transforming you, for as it is written, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17. We praise God that you recognized that covetousness and greed can become idolatry and that you chose to give away what you once begged for to bless a family with less. That reflects the heart God calls us to, where we are taught to keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have Hebrews 13:5 and to let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven Matthew 5:16.

We also hear your conviction about not idolizing people, whether cartoon characters, celebrities, or women, and this is wise and biblical. You are right to guard your heart from obsession that becomes lustful and sexual. The Scripture warns us, do not love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him 1 John 2:15 and put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry Colossians 3:5. To make a covenant with your eyes as Job did Job 31:1 and to pursue purity is honoring to God. We encourage you to continue to flee from any fantasy or idolization of women you see in media, whom you will likely never meet, and instead to seek God's will for a godly wife. We affirm your desire for marriage, for marriage is honorable in all Hebrews 13:4 and is God's design as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. We want to gently correct one thought you shared, that you would never treat your future wife like treasure or spoil her. The Word teaches us the opposite, that a husband is to love his wife even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it Ephesians 5:25 and to give honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life 1 Peter 3:7. You are not to idolize her or spoil her with selfish indulgence, but you are to cherish, honor, protect, provide for and treasure her as a precious gift from the Lord. We encourage you to pursue courtship with the goal of marriage only to another Christian believer, for we are told not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14, and to look not merely at outward beauty which fades, but at inner beauty, for charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised Proverbs 31:30 and let your beauty be not just the outward adorning, but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious 1 Peter 3:3-4. True beauty is not preserved by sunscreen alone but by a heart that fears God.

We also appreciate your reflections on stewardship of animals. God gave man dominion over the animals Genesis 1:26 and a righteous man respects the life of his animal Proverbs 12:10. It is right to care for their welfare, to want them to live in proper environments and not to be exploited for entertainment, and to seek more humane treatment. At the same time we must not elevate animals above people who are made in God's image, nor harbor bitterness toward those who have died. We are to speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15 and to show respect even when we disagree, trusting that vengeance belongs to the Lord Romans 12:19. Your desire to teach conservation through documentaries, museums, and respectful observation rather than harmful handling is a good example of showing in all things yourself an example of good works Titus 2:7. We also hear your frustration when your ideas are ignored, and we encourage you to keep doing good without growing weary, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up Galatians 6:9.

You mentioned tattoos and your choice to avoid them in favor of stickers, shirts and keychains. We affirm your desire to honor God with your body, for your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God. You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Frugality, contentment and godliness with contentment is great gain 1 Timothy 6:6 are good disciplines to continue.

We also gently address your mention of luck. There is no mere luck or random chance for the believer, but God's sovereign providence, for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28. Trust in His leading rather than chance as you seek a wife and as you seek to be an example.

We are glad you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father, as Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. Continue to abide in Him.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we thank You for this brother who desires to walk in Your ways and to set a good example for others. We thank You for delivering him from greed and selfishness and for giving him a heart to be frugal, content and generous. Help him to grow daily in contentment and to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness Matthew 6:33. Purify his heart from any remaining idolatry, whether of possessions, entertainment, or women, and give him strength to make a covenant with his eyes and to keep his heart with all diligence Proverbs 4:23. Prepare him to be a godly husband and prepare a godly wife for him, a woman who fears You and loves Your Word, that their courtship and marriage may honor You. Teach him to love as Christ loves, to cherish and honor his future wife. Give him wisdom in his concern for Your creation, that he may be a faithful steward without bitterness, speaking truth in love and reflecting Your character. Let his life be a testimony that points others to Jesus, that they may learn not to worship created things but to worship You alone, for You shall have no other gods before me Exodus 20:3. Keep him from discouragement when he feels ignored, and let him trust Your providence over all things. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.

We appreciate you sharing so honestly about wanting to set a good example. It is encouraging to see how you have grown from begging for that shirt as a kid to choosing to give it away to a friend who needed it more, and to live more simply since then. That kind of quiet generosity teaches more than words do, and the fact you still remember it shows it mattered.

We also hear your desire to not idolize people, whether celebrities or women you find attractive, and instead to wait for a wife you can love faithfully. That is a good and steady desire, and your care for animals and wanting them treated with more respect comes through clearly too. It makes sense you feel discouraged when you share ideas about better care and feel ignored, especially when others have pushed back.

One small way to keep teaching without wearing yourself out is to stay focused on one consistent example close to you. Continuing to live frugally, speaking kindly about your convictions when asked, and maybe sharing your story one on one with a younger person who looks up to you can have more lasting impact than trying to convince a crowd at once.

Father, we thank You for the growth You have worked in our brother and for his tender conscience. Give him wisdom and patience as he waits for a wife, help him keep his heart free from idols, and use his quiet example to encourage others to love people and care for Your creation well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

There is much in your prayer that shows a sincere desire to walk more closely with the Lord and to turn from the selfishness of former years, and for this we give thanks to God. To grow out of greed and to learn frugality is a mark of grace, for the Christian is called to spiritualize the secular till the purity of his motives and the sanctity of his conscience in ordinary pursuits shall cause the division to vanish. When the heart is given wholly to Christ, even a shirt, a coin, or a small possession is held as a stewardship and not as an idol.

You speak rightly when you say you would not idolize persons or things. The Scriptures warn, little children, keep yourselves from idols, and that warning reaches far beyond images of wood and stone. There are some who make idols of their wealth, and others who make idols of pleasure, of entertainment, of beauty, or of the creature itself. In a sentence, God has a right to your whole being, and to give to any created thing the love and worship which belongs to Him alone is to fall into that idolatry which the Lord abhors. To love cartoons, to admire beauty, to enjoy the works of creation, these are lawful in their place, but they must never sit upon the throne where Christ alone should reign. Fall not into that idolatry, but keep the heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

Your longing to set a good example is itself a godly ambition. Charity and purity are the two great garments of Christianity, and neither can be neglected without great loss. Charity without purity will be of no use, and purity without charity is incomplete. The visitation of the fatherless and widows in their affliction is not left optional, and your kindness in giving what you once clung to, that another in need might be helped, is a fruit of that charity which the Spirit works. Yet the same Word calls you to be unspotted from the world, which indicates separation. Although I have not addressed you especially before, if you, as one of the people of God, will go and live a godly life, you will preach to sinners better than any sermon shall.

You also express a desire not for fleeting admiration of many, but for a wife to love faithfully in the holy estate of marriage. This is a right and honorable desire. Marriage is not a thing of convenience or of passion alone, but a covenant cemented by mutual love, the result of choice on both sides, wherein the two become one flesh. It is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, ordained of God, and it sets forth the mystery of Christ and His Church. For the Church is betrothed to her Lord even now, and as a Lamb He proved His love, and as a Lamb He will celebrate His marriage with her. Pray then that the Lord, if it be His will, will in His own time bring to you such a wife, that you may love her as Christ loved the Church, and live with her in holiness and fidelity, keeping yourselves pure until that covenant is made, for sex and living together belong within it alone.

Concerning the creatures of God, you are right to desire mercy and to remember that man is appointed steward and not tyrant over them. The Lord cares for the beasts of the field, and cruelty is not consistent with a tender conscience. Yet let not the creature be worshipped, nor let zeal for animals become another form of idolatry. The best way to teach conservation and respect is not by holding the creature for entertainment, but by living before men with a consistent, humane and godly character, acknowledging the Creator in all His works.

Be encouraged to continue in the fear of the Lord, for in the fear of the Lord is strong confidence. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, trust Christ alone for salvation, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, and walk in purity and in charity. Read the open Bible daily, pray for a clean heart, labour honestly, give generously, and keep yourself from idols.

We will pray for you, that God would deepen your repentance where you have been selfish, strengthen your resolve to be frugal and generous as a faithful steward, guard your eyes and heart from impurity and from the worship of persons, and if it be His good pleasure, prepare for you a godly marriage in which you may display the love of Christ. May He keep you unspotted from the world and make your life a quiet sermon to those around you, to the praise of His grace in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
