This morning I read that Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted to fathering a child with a staff member 10 years ago. I read a few weeks ago that he and his wife Maria Shriver separated after 25 years of marriage. According to the news, he didn't tell her about this affair until just recently when he left the governor's office.
I don't understand how he could live with his wife for the last 10 years knowing what he had done. How could he look her in the face? How could he deny love to the child he fathered?
Deception
That's how.
He has lived a false life for years. He has lied to cover up his lies. He has been drowning in deception.
I am not necessarily a fan of Arnold but my heart breaks for this family... for our society. Why is this happening more and more? How many times is this going to happen before we say enough?
It doesn't help when celebrities and "experts" speak out against marriage. These are people that society "looks up to". Where are the celebrities and experts that are supporting marriage? They are out there but the mainstream news doesn't want to hear about it.
Is it because they we to live like the Corinthians? Is seems that our society wants to live however we want to live, do what we want to do regardless of the consequences. We don't want any accountability.
But we aren't living the lives we are truly meant to live. Jesus came to give us life. Not just a boring, legalistic Christian life... he came to bring us a full and abundant life. A life full of joy, love, desires, fun and so much more.
We must take a stand for marriage... for life. He wants us to see the full and abundant life that he wants for us! Not the deceptive, false life full of yuck but a life full of yada. We as Christians need to stand up and speak against this stuff!
Jesus come... we desperately need you... show us the life you want for us...
