My dad shared a Proverb that I read on Monday, but didn't really see any relevance in because it talked about adultery, which obviously doesn't mean much to a high schooler.
But even though he didn't get the significance at first either, today a friend called him in tears because he might be getting a divorce. Because he committed adultery. And I remembered all the references to death in the passage. The ones that I thought sounded a little over the top at first. Now when my dad talked about it, I realized that it really is death.
Death of relationships. Marriage.
Spiritual death. Sin. Separation from God.
Literal death: Abortion. Because people don't want to pay the consequences.
And I got it.
There's nothing light about that. Nothing flippant. Casual. Nothing about the way casual, adulterous sex is played out in movies is anywhere near the realistic consequences.
That's horrible. That's completely horrible.
And to be honest, it made me sad for the world. Sad for the people I go to school with. For specific people I go to school with. That have no idea they're on a path to death itself.
