Chastity

What's the biggest obstacle in teaching and living a life of chastity?  Is the difficulty more inside us, or is it in the culture around us?

Bad Lessons in Movies

Last summer I saw a popular movie that troubled me because of what I saw as a very distorted understanding of love. I don't want to give the title away right off, but I would like to hear some thoughts from anyone out there who has been struck by a twisted (yet widely accepted) portrayal of love in the movies?

True Love (1 Corinthians 13)

Paul explains in 1st Corinthians 13 that true love (agape) seeks only the benefit of the beloved, and has no concern for itself--and that this type of love is one of the most substantial, most real things we can know. 

In contrast to this is the popular view of love in our culture which sees love as an arbitrary feeling which we fall into and out of. 

So what are the dangers of the non-Christian view of love? What kind of problems can result if we fail to see that true love is more than a feeling?
