Satire About Marriage

1736 Words7 Pages

When will that change, I ask you? When will those feelings submit to the spiritual man in a way where I don’t ever have to deal with them again? Marriage? Well, then where’s the man I’m supposed to marry? Because I’m over here waiting.

Unlike my spiritual walk in the past that didn’t make it past the corner, I have found ways to deal with the itch that always asking to be scratched. Music provides a great escape. Unlike the advice of the skinny person or the married folks, I come from a place of struggle, so trust me when I tell you, I need some advice that works. And listening to a fast, upbeat pace song is that solution.

Sometimes no matter how many songs you may play or repeat over and over again, the enemy won’t leave you alone. It might feel like …show more content…

I’m not going to keep running from that higher calling. I MUST RESIST IT! Because the only things that God will provide an escape from are those things that I can’t handle. Marijuana is not one of those things. It’s that test that is meant to make me strong so I won’t have to keep running. I need to stop, turn around, and slap the #?@! out of the lower case, it! Oops…my mouth. I’ll deal with that in another chapter.

So I got this. I can do this. As always, let me found a scripture to help me with it. Searching, searching, searching… It has to be another quick draw scripture, something I can recite real fast at any time. Here’s one: Galatians 5:16 I’m going to walk by the Spirit, and I WILL NOT gratify the desires of my flesh. Repeat, repeat, repeat, got it.

It’s late in the evening, and I’m feeling great. I refused to be defeated by my own lust and my new defense against the “higher calling” helps me to sleep well. The next morning I wake up to a brand-new day. I’d learned by now to pray as soon as I get out of bed, so upon awakening, I waste no time getting on my knees. What a good feeling to be covered by God through prayer. Satan ain’t got nothing on me, baby. Keya and God are in

In the short story “The Perfect Match” Ken Liu shows readers that if everyone turns to technology all the time then the world will be full of people that don’t truly know themselves and what matters to them, because they are provided with more ideas supporting what their initial thoughts instead of being exposed to new ideas that they may challenge their original ones. Through the use of a rebel, obedience, and satire, Liu warns his readers of the immense issue facing society. At the beginning of the story, Jenny runs into Sai and asks him to take down the camera above his door. Jenny further explains why she doesn’t want Tilly near her apartment, “Tilly doesn’t just tell you what you want,” Jenny shouted. “She tells you what to think.

In Matthew chapter sixteen verse twenty-four, Jesus says, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” Taking up your cross is an action that must occur minute by minute. You must choose either to sit idly and to just avoid evil or to make a conscious decision to follow and chase after Christ and His ways. Another example in Scripture is Ephesians six verses ten through thirteen. It says, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and His mighty power.

As Screwtape advises his nephew, "When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them try to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by its success in producing the desired feeling, and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment" (Lewis, 16). The emotional rush that occurs when drawing near to the Holy Spirit is a feeling almost every Christian has experienced. New believers tend to use this feeling as their sole motivation for prayer, study, and worship.

I 'm the owner of myself. What I produce it 's mine, it 's the product of my action, it isn 't a point of view, it 's a fact. So if you take something I produced you are effectively slavering me for the time I took to do that, for example, if I build my house and you come to my house and you make me leave because you think it is yours, your stealing my property.  If I took 1 year to build my house, you are effectively slavering me for that year, because you took what I produced to yourself.   Taxes are the same thing, the government comes, take what is yours and says it 's his, but you can 't say that it 's actually yours because that theft is seen as moral, and that 's wrong.

Human trafficking, there is nothing good, or positive in general, that you can say about it. We have had a problem with it for decades, and it needs to be stopped, but why is no one stepping up and trying to make a difference? Perhaps it is that human trafficking is very less common in North America, especially the United States, than it is in other countries. Although slavery has been abolished for over 150 years, it still exists in America, and it is an injustice to everyone that it involves. In bigger cities, ghettos, anywhere there are people that are willing to either sell their body, or there are people to abduct, there is trafficking.

Ch. 8 To be honest I am not really sure where I stand with this prompt. As a college student I am glad that some professors enforce a curve in the classes because that means I will get a better grade in the classes. Than at the same time it is kind of like cheating in a way, cheating myself and my future employer. I guess I will choose that colleges should not enforce a curve on grades because that is cheating and most colleges have a law or prohibition on cheating.

People want to get married because they are ready to take the relationship to a higher level of responsibility and commitment. The satirical argument made throughout the video is that one’s freedom is being compromised and ties, especially with the family are ruined once marriage gets in the picture. The video satirically highlights how individuals will not want to marry because of the huge commitments and responsibilities involved. This is ironic because, when it is decided that the goal of a relationship is marriage, it shows that the couple is ready to commit and love each other unconditionally.
