FEBRUARY 29th!! What a cool day! Only comes once every four years. I told Katie it would be so cool if Will is born today because when he is twenty he will have only had 5 real birthdays. Awesome!! Alright to the point:

Proverbs 7:19-27

Pastor Lee:
This is the remainder of the story we read yesterday. We see more enticing from the harlot. She literally says, hey my husband is out of town, so why dont you come to my house while my husband is gone. Guys, do you want to have that kind of wife? Well, then be careful who you date. When an ox is going to get slaughtered, it has no idea that in a few moments its life will be over. When we are involved in sexual sin, we are walking into destruction with no idea, that this could be the end of a happy life. And finally the end of this passage makes it clear to completely stay away from this girl because it says: Avoid her path, because Many strong men have been slayed by her. It is easy for a guy to say, I can handle it! but the truth is, many more Godly men than I am have made the mistake and I better stay away! Teenagers, you better stay away from anyone that wants to take your purity. It may sound fun, but it will be like a "death chamber" for the future of your life.

19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
