In order to be good Alpha males and Omega males, we must hold ourselves accountable first.
I just did a 7-part blog series on how to tell if a woman is the "one." Now it's our turn. As men, we are the LEADERS of the family and the church. That is not misogyny or sexism. It is godly leadership based on love and truth. For this reason, we must be extra accountable so ensure that we are not hypocritical in our leadership. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.**

Happy Father's Day! What Your Most Important Job Is As The Head Of Household
Being a good father is a blessing and a MASSIVE responsibility. You are the leader of your household and your word is law, as long as you don't contradict Jesus Christ. However, the safety of everyone who lives in your household is ON YOU! That means you are the one who has to protect your family from:
-Thieves
-Rapists
-Murderers
-Terrorists
-Wild Animals
-Natural Disasters
-Disease Epidemics
-Everything other horrible thing that can possibly happen
So being a leader doesn't look like so much fun now, does it?
If so, TOUGH ROCKS, PAL!
When you get married and have kids, you have no choice be to lead. If you are the man in the complementary-gender union (an actual, genetic male), then you are the leader. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts. That means you must do everything in your power to LEAD YOUR FAMILY TO CHRIST.
This includes, but is not limited to:
-Marrying a godly woman (an actual, genetic female of legal age)
-Choosing a Christ-centered church
-Dragging said family to a Christ-centered church, kicking and screaming (if they don't like it, they can MOVE!)
-Protecting your family from all threats. Yes, that's right. YOU MUST DIE FOR THEM IF NECESSARY!
-Providing food, shelter, clothing, education, and medical care (even if it means working five jobs)
-Staying sexually pure (No porn, no monkey-spanking, no mistresses, no brothels and no orgies)
-Casting out family members who are abusive or addicts. If they abuse their relatives or do drugs or break the law, THROW THEM OUT!
And that's the real reason why you have veto power on family decisions, get sweet love from your wife three times a week (sodomy excluded), and can sit on the sofa while your kids mow the lawn and do the dishes. Because you are the protector. The provider. The leader* who will show them Jesus Christ with your life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.**
*Women are allowed to lead in public office, scientific research, business, academia and all other areas outside of the church and the family. Leadership in the family and church must be male-only, though.
**Romans 6:23 (ESV)
She's Not The One Post #7: Colonel Sanders Is Her Personal Trainer
IT'S NOT A SIN TO BE FAT!
That being said, we are called to take proper care of our bodies. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.*
One way of doing this is to have a healthy diet and to exercise properly. It's not about being dead sexy: it's about living long so that you can tell as many people about Christ as possible. People who diet and exercise live much longer, healthier lives than people who...don't. So if your future wife thinks the major food groups are deep-fried, chocolate-covered, cream-filled, extra cheese, and double scoop, then friendzone her! She can't be your help meet if she is constantly in the hospital having self-inflicted quadruple bypass surgeries. Also, don't be a hypocrite: make sure that you are laying off the sweet stuff, too! For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord!**

She's Not The One Post #6: Captain Morgan And Nic O'Tine Are Her BFFs
NEVER. EEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEER. MARRY. AN. ADDICT.
An addict is anyone who uses anything other than a relationship with Jesus Christ to make themselves feel pleasure. These things include:
-Alcohol
-Cigarettes
-Drugs (Including Weed)
-Excessive use of prescription meds and painkillers
-Porn (This includes "Fifty Shades of Grey")
-Masturbation
-Excessive or perverted sexual activity (which is anything outside of a one-man, one-woman marriage, anything which is violent, anything that involves multiple partners or swinging, anything that involves shaky electronic devices, anything that occurs during her "time of the month", and anything that involves sticking things where the sun don't shine)
-Hobbies/work indulged in excess (including sports, shopping, social media and video games)
-Food and drink indulged in excess
Remember, an addict's vice is their idol. It's more important to them than Jesus Christ is. And if they put it before Jesus, they will put it before you and your marriage!
Don't try to save them. You're job is not to be Dr. Phil. You're job is to glorify and honor Jesus Christ, and to do that, you must marry a godly, sober-minded woman who puts Him above all else. That way, you both can have a Christ-centered, one-man, one-woman marriage, and lead people to surrender to Jesus Christ so that He will spare them from an eternity of torture and suffering in the Lake of Fire. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*

She's Not The One Post #5: She Lives In A Casino
IT. IS. NOT. WRONG. TO. BE. RICH!!!!!!
AND. IT. IS. NOT. WRONG. FOR. A. WOMAN. TO. MARRY. RICH!!!!!!
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.*
In other words, it is wrong to be GREEDY, and a woman who's SOLE PURPOSE for marrying a man is his wealth is GREEDY. Greed is the worship of wealth, making "gods" out of gold, silver, Iphones, mansions, fancy restaurants, etc. None of these things are bad in and of themselves. But if you treat them as "gods", then you will go insane.
And if this is what the woman you love does, she will go insane, too.
So if the woman you like is a gambler, a swindler, a gold-digger, goes shopping every single day, and her bffs are credit cards, DUMP HER! Your marriage won't last. In my country, if you marry her, her debt becomes yours! Why should you bail her own of her self-inflicted bankruptcy? And if you work overseas, be especially wary. While there are Cinderellas out there (women of integrity who come from humble origins), you also run into a lot of Ursulas (women who pretend to love you because they want to spend your money). Like their male counterparts, Ursulas are self-centered and traitorous. If they find someone richer than you, they'll drop you. If they spend all your money and get you into debt, they'll drop you. That ring you put on their finger won't stop them. The number one sign a woman (regardless of which country she is from) is an Ursula is that she is MUCH YOUNGER THAN YOU AND SMOKING HOT! Here are some realistic guidelines when it comes to marrying a Cinderella in her twenties:
If you are 20-29: Possible, if you stay focused on Jesus Christ.
If you are 30-35: Less likely, but it's happened.
If you are 35-39: Bro, you're reaching...
If you are 40+: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
In other words, if you are over 30 and lots of smoking hot women in their twenties are chasing you around, the majority of them are Ursulas who want your money!
So in order to make sure you don't get fleeced, ask Jesus Christ whether or not you should pursue a particular woman, ESPECIALLY a much younger, smoking hot woman. He'll let you know if she is a Cinderella or an Ursula, and give you the thumbs-up or thumbs-down. When you marry a woman who is responsible with money, and loves you to glorify and honor Christ, then you will work together to form a Christ-centered, one-man, one-woman marriage. Then you will lead others to completely and unconditionally surrender to Jesus Christ so that He will spare them from the Lake of Fire. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.**

She's Not The One Post #4: She's Allergic To Clothing
Vanity is an equal opportunity employer. Anyone (male or female) who likes to show off their body in public is doing it FOR. THE. ATTENTION!!!!
Obviously, a woman isn't easy just because she doesn't dress like Mother Teresa. That being said, a woman who walks around in yoga pants and posts belfies on Instagram is probably the same as the men who follow her (online and in-person): of inferior moral caliber. And quite frankly, it's not because they are insecure. It's actually the opposite: they have TOO MUCH self-esteem.
In math terms, too much self-esteem = arrogance.
Arrogance + marriage = your wife divorcing you to sleep with a man half your age when you get love handles.
So find a woman who is modest. I want to make it clear that modest does not always mean pure. Sometimes, it is a trick used by Apex Predators so they can attract and bed Christian men. However, modesty is a great sign of a woman who is HUMBLE.
In math terms, humble = low maintenance.
Low maintenance + marriage = your wife still riding you when you are 85 years old. Age is just a number when Jesus Christ is supernaturally empowering your sex life.*
On top of that, people (both male and female) who are humble tend to watch their diet and exercise. Nobody stays 21 forever BUT it's been scientifically proven that diet and exercise can significantly delay the aging process.
Not to mention that humble women can spot a male gold-digger a mile off and steer clear of them.** Loyalty is a trait valued by the humble.
Immodesty is bad fruit, and you need to pay attention so that you don't get royally screwed in divorce court later. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.*** So if the woman you are interested in looks like she is a nudist in training, BEWARE! She only cares about her body being worshiped by others, and idolatry and Christ-centered marriage don't mix. If you marry someone like this, it will be nearly impossible for you two to lead others to surrender to Jesus Christ so that they can be saved from an eternity in the Lake of Fire. So recognize the good fruit of the humble, and marry a woman who puts Jesus Christ before her own desires (like you should be doing). For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.****
*Jesus Christ will only do this if you and your spouse are keeping your sex life within the confines of a Christ-centered, one-man, one-woman marriage.
**Humble, mature people recognize the truth about temptation: that if a younger, more attractive individual corners them in a hotel room and comes on to them, they're toast. So they are smart enough not to give the Big Game Hunter the opportunity: when it comes to purity, to borrow a quote from The Karate Kid 2, "Best block is no be there."

She;s Not The One Post #3: She Doesn't Want Kids
"A weapons' company that doesn't make weapons?!" Jim Cramer flipped out in his cameo in Iron Man 1 when he found out Stark Industries was shutting down it's bread-and-butter product, weapons. Then he urged everyone to sell the stock.
Now, in context, Tony Stark (played expertly by Robert Downey, Jr.), had good reasons for doing this. But when it comes to practical application, a company that doesn't do what it is designed to do is a failure! Imagine going into a McDonald's and hearing them say:
"Sorry, we don't make Big Macs anymore. It takes too long and it's too oppressive. But you can pay us for one anyway and take selfies in our lobby."
You'd probably leave and go to Burger King.
It's just as absurd to marry a woman who doesn't want kids. That's like paying a McDonald's to just sit in the lobby and take selfies. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus Christ didn't give women breasts so that their beau can motorboat them, nor did He give the fairer sex periods so that the employees of Always and Kotex could have job security. He did it because He gave women the honor and responsibility of childbirth*!
"But that's sexist!"
No, it's not. Motherhood is actually very good on-the-job training if a woman decides to have a career in her chosen field at a later date, and she can complete her undergraduate and master's degree long before her fertility peaks in her late twenties.
Having been a manager, I can vouch for the former since many of my former employees acted like preschool children. Wait, scratch that. Preschool children actually follow directions if you ask them enough times.
Anyways, children are a blessing from Jesus Christ and anyone (male or female) who chooses not to have them is:
1)Selfish
2) Vain
3) Immature
4) Irresponsible
Gee, those are great qualities for a spouse to have...NOT!
Just remember: Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.**
In other words, a woman who doesn't want kids IS LIKE A WEAPONS' COMPANY THAT DOESN'T MAKE WEAPONS!
Don't buy stock in that company by marrying it, and don't pay McDonald's staff if they won't make you a Big Mac. Find a woman who is selfless, humble, mature, and responsible, and marry her, and have children with her AFTER you tie the knot. Then you can preach the gospel by raising a loving family, and show people Jesus Christ so that they can surrender to Him and be saved from the Lake of Fire.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.***
*For that matter, that's the real reason Jesus Christ designed the donk: carrying a baby around for nine months of a time requires quite a bit of hip-strength.

She's Not The One Post #2: She Doesn't Respect Her Father
If a woman doesn't respect her father, then SHE WON'T RESPECT YOU!
Until a girl hits puberty, her father (assuming she was blessed with one that didn't ditch her family), is her hero. He sets the standard for what kind of man she will marry one day. More importantly, he is the one who teaches her what is and isn't ok to say or do to a man. So if her dad is a wimp who gives her everything she wants, no matter how much she abuses him, guess what message she receives?
IT'S OK TO TREAT HER HUSBAND THE SAME WAY.
Big problem since for the marriage to work, she's supposed to submit* to you, and you are supposed to love her enough to die for her:
Rest assured, if she bullies her father, she will bully you. Bullying and submitting don't mix. Then you will stop loving her, and the situation will get worse until your whole marriage crumbles. Because either she will lose so much respect for you that she dumps you, or you will get tired of getting kicked around and ragequit the marriage yourself. And if you have kids, things will get very messy, very quickly. Think of a mini-version of the U.S. Civil War and your children as the emotional casualties.
So even if she claims to be a Christian, look at how she treats her father. She doesn't have to like him, but she does have to love and respect him. Remember: your marriage needs to be a clear reflection of God's Triune Nature, so that you can preach the gospel and people can surrender to Jesus Christ and be saved from the Lake of Fire.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.**
*Submit does not mean subject yourself to threatening, violent, or sexually degrading behavior. If you are in this situation, MOVE OUT IMMEDIATELY. Biblically, divorce is not permitted for abuse (only adultery), but legal separation is perfectly fine.

She's Not The One Post #1: She's Not A Slave Of Christ
Slaves of Christ should only marry slaves of Christ. Even though I have never been married, I learned this the hard way when I pursued relationships with unbelievers in the not-so-distant past. It's very tempting when you meet an unbelieving woman who is young, beautiful, intelligent, kind, and humorous to bend the rules and missionary date. Don't do it. It will be worse than Batman marrying Talia Al'Ghul in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises." You defected from the real, Satanic "League of Shadows" when you surrendered to Christ. The unbelieving woman has not. That means you and a woman who has not completely and unconditional surrendered to Christ ARE IMMORTAL ENEMIES.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? *
We cannot preach the gospel by defending Christ-centered, one-man, one-woman marriages if we are banging people who hate Jesus! Remember, we have defected, and we aren't evil anymore. Christ changed us when we surrendered to Him. So that others can experience the same transformation, and salvation from the Lake of Fire, we must only marry women who have also chosen to leave Satan's kingdom of darkness for Christ's kingdom of Light. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*

BAD NEWS: You Are Your Coworkers' Enemy!
Slaves of Christ know the truth: that only submission to Jesus Christ leads to escape from the Lake of Fire, and sharing in His victory. Everyone else believes that whoever dies with the most toys wins (the title of "most pious, self-denying, and transcendent individual" is also a toy). Due to this, from the perspective of your coworkers, YOU ARE AN ENEMY!
This doesn't mean you can't build healthy relationships and friendships in the office. However, it does mean that those will be few and far between. This will especially be the case when you become the top performer in the office. Being the top performer in the office (whichever field you are in), makes you the UFC champion, and when that happens, YOU WILL BE A MARKED MAN/WOMAN!
Many of these people will try to get you fired. In some areas of the world, some will try to get you arrested, deported or executed.
This will be especially the case if people find out you are a slave of Christ. Ruthlessly ambitious people hate Jesus Christ. They want to be their own "gods."
"Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matthew 10:16, ESV)
In order to survive, you must pray, read your Bible, and seek out other sincere, authentic believers. You must also guard your heart and root out all sin so that you don't give your enemies the tools they need to destroy you. These things are essential in order to ensure that you can earn true rewards in eternity, and lead others to Christ so that they can escape from the Lake of Fire. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*
*Romans 6:23 (ESV)
This doesn't mean you can't build healthy relationships and friendships in the office. However, it does mean that those will be few and far between. This will especially be the case when you become the top performer in the office. Being the top performer in the office (whichever field you are in), makes you the UFC champion, and when that happens, YOU WILL BE A MARKED MAN/WOMAN!
Many of these people will try to get you fired. In some areas of the world, some will try to get you arrested, deported or executed.
This will be especially the case if people find out you are a slave of Christ. Ruthlessly ambitious people hate Jesus Christ. They want to be their own "gods."
"Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matthew 10:16, ESV)
In order to survive, you must pray, read your Bible, and seek out other sincere, authentic believers. You must also guard your heart and root out all sin so that you don't give your enemies the tools they need to destroy you. These things are essential in order to ensure that you can earn true rewards in eternity, and lead others to Christ so that they can escape from the Lake of Fire. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*

BAD NEWS: People Don't Always Tell The Truth
The only man who will always tell you the truth is Jesus Christ.
Almost everyone else is a LIAR, and those rare people who don't lie do other evil things.
That means that, as you seek a godly spouse, you will run into lots of people who are FAKES. These are the dating equivalent of antichrists. They will COPY aspects of Jesus so that they can trick you into being a relationship with you, and pretend to be loving, just, and pious. However, that's all it is: A TRICK! They only care about getting what they want, which is normally:
1) Your money
2) Your body
So how do you tell if you are getting hosed by a dating antichrist? It's very simple. Present them to Jesus Christ and ask Him if they are the one. He'll give you a thumbs up or thumbs down. It's that simple. (Hint, if that person is already married, or is not of the complementary gender, then the answer is an automatic thumbs down!)
And if He gives you a thumbs-down, DUMP THEM!
In order to effectively preach the gospel, you must reflect Christ in your relationships. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*

Build The Freaking Wall! How To Maintain The National Sovereignty Of Your Heart
Happy Belated Valentine's Day! I have some BAD NEWS!
Not everyone who wants citizenship in your heart as your only spouse will be an honest, hardworking individual who wants to contribute to your socio-emotional society. Many will just want to exploit you for the resources you have, and some will be career criminals who want to wreak havoc and murder your relationships and emotional well-being for fun! So you need to set up a wall to guard your heart from those who are coming in to emotionally rape and pillage. Clear boundaries need to be set. Here are mine:
Before I consider granting a woman romantic citizenship, she must:
1) Be born (and have chosen to remain for her entire existence) a female
2) Be a slave of Jesus Christ
3) Respect her father
4) Recognize her future husband as the leader of her family
5) Want to have and raise children (i.e. no birth control method not named "abstinence" allowed)
6) Be modest and classy (i.e. NO FLIRTING)
7) Be a virgin (just like me)
8) Be sober (no alcohol, drugs, smoking, pornography/masturbating (including to 50 Shades of Grey)
9) Recognize that marriage is one-man and one-woman united by Jesus Christ and is a lifelong commitment.
10) Not believe in divorce
11) Be mature, honest, and responsible, especially with finances
Whatever boundaries you set, Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life*.
This includes making sure that your boundaries are godly. For example, "cannot be black/white/Latino/Asian/Native American, etc." is not godly. It's racist. And Jesus Christ won't bless you with a wonderful spouse if you are sinning or hypocritical in your boundaries. For example, expecting a virgin when you spent all of your youth smashing the cheerleading squad and every sorority on campus...yeah, only if you get a TREMENDOUS amount of grace.
Also, don't create loopholes for people who are:
1) Drop dead gorgeous
2) Freaking rich
3) Got more connections than an extension cord (Power!)
I have done this and screwed myself over big time. Fortunately, I was blessed to find out who the con artist really was before I lost my most valuable asset: my virginity. I just wish I had not been cheated out of every other resource I had! But hey, if you let a scorpion ride on your back, then it's your fault you got stung!
So build your freaking wall, and protect yourself so that you aren't an emotional trainwreck after letting too many bandits stick you up! For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.**

Some Damsels Like Being In Distress (And Not All Lost Boys Want To Be Found)
Some people like being abused. It makes them happy.
I found this out the hard way at a previous company I worked at. I once had an attractive female colleague who chose to be with a man who verbally abused her, trained their students to verbally abuse her, and physically bullied and sexually harassed her friends. Yet, she partied with him all the time, would always do things for him when asked, and after he pulled a "Midnight Run" to a different country, stayed in touch with him and told us about his latest exploits.
In other words, SHE LOVED HIM.
Why?
Because people are SICK. And one major sign of someone who is REALLY sick is that they display masochistic tendencies. The human heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can understand it? *
In a different sense, I've had similar behavior. Once, I was the male equivalent of a "Damsel-In-Distress": a "Lost Boy." A "Lost Boy" is a guy who seeks out relationships with girls who verbally abuse and publicly humiliate him for their own amusement. These bad girls (whom I will refer to as "Black Swans"), like their bad boy counterparts (whom I will refer to as "Dragons"), also typically exploit the Lost Boy for a resource that he has (which is not always money or sex).
From personal experience, Lost Boys attract "Wendys", the female equivalent of Knights in Shining Armor. These girls typically try to rescue the Lost Boy by behaving like Wendy from "Peter Pan." They basically mother and "big sister" him through being the shoulder to cry on (although the Lost Boy typically "cries" through brooding and venting), and through acts of service like doing his laundry, making/buying him food, etc., and showering him with praise and affection. This is typically with the hope that the Lost Boy comes to his senses and ditches the Black Swan. Often, like the Knight in Shining Armor, the Wendy secretly hopes that the one she rescues will become romantically interested in her if she is kind enough to him.
As we all know, this almost never happens. Most of the time, the Lost Boy, like the Damsel-In-Distress, is a masochist. They get a sick thrill out of being a victim, so they choose to remain in the abusive situation and allow themselves to be bullied and exploited. In other words, THEY ENJOY IT.
This is the real reason why some damsels like being in distress, and why not all lost boys want to be found. THEY LIKE BEING ABUSED AND BULLIED. IT MAKES THEM HAPPY.
But that's not the worst of it. When the Lost Boy chooses to be bullied by a Black Swan for too long, he will eventually turn on his Wendy and start being abusive and hostile towards his rescuer. I call this the "Werewolf Transformation"; the victim becomes the bully and "passes it forward." It's the male equivalent of when a Damsel-In-Distress is bullied by a Dragon to the point where she turns on and starts becoming abusive and hostile towards her Knight in Shining Armor, which I call the "Vampire Transformation." The victim becomes the bully.
Fortunately, Jesus Christ has the power to rescue everyone involved in this complete and utter cluster-screw. In my case, Jesus Christ transformed me from a Lost Boy into a "Dark Knight", a guy who has been divinely empowered to leave the toxic waters of the Black Swans and never look back. Christ also does the same with Damsels-In-Distress, transforming them into "Tiger Lilys", empowering them to forsake the Dragon's lair for good. Jesus Christ is the only One who can save people, so prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with other slaves of Christ is absolutely essential in determining:
A) If the victim wants to be rescued
B) Your true motives for rescuing the victim (i.e. are you doing this to glorify Christ or just because you are romantically interested in the victim?)
C) If you are the person who Christ has appointed to rescue that victim (HINT: if your motive is option 2 from B, then you probably aren't)
D) What actions you need to take if you are that person
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*

Lesson Learned The Hard Way: You Should NEVER Be Friends With Everyone
"You should always accept your friends for who they are."
Really? So, you should accept your "friend" if they are a:
1) Liar
2) Backstabber
3) Thief
4) Discriminatory
5) Womanizer
6) Coward
7) Sadist
Etc., etc., etc.?
NO!
Yes, we should be polite and respectful and love our enemies. But we are also called to be as cunning as serpents. That means we should never enter into a friendship (be it a social one, a business one, a ministerial one, or a marital one) with someone who a) likes being evil b) enjoys being evil. Proverbs has a dirty laundry list of the types of people whom you should never, ever, associate with at all. However, Jesus kept it simple with the following verse:
"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you." (Matthew 7:6)
In context, this verse is about not giving the gospel to people who never, ever want to hear it. However, it can also be applied to who you give your friendship to. Remember, every human being not named Jesus Christ is EVIL until they completely and unconditionally surrender to Him. The bottomless pit of human depravity is confirmed by what is reported in Yahoo!News headlines. In other words, most people who want to be your friend just want to use you for:
1) Your money
2) Your body
3) Your status in society
4) Your citizenship (if you are from the first world)
5) A valuable skill or other resource you have
From personal experience, once these people get what they want from you, or find someone whom they believe can give it to them faster and in more abundance, or believe that you are no longer of use to them, they trample all over your friendship and attack you like a wild boar. For this reason, I now ask the Holy Spirit whether or not I should trust someone, and if He gives me the thumbs down, I have nothing to do with that person. Ever.
In order to preach the gospel, we, as slaves of Christ, need to protect our emotional health. This means staying away from dogs and pigs who want to dismember our hearts. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.*
