Summary: I had a good friend in Argentina. When we were 17, we started to seriously serve the Lord. But one day when he was 21, he went to live in another city. He had a physical problem and went to see a doctor. This doctor told him that his problem was due in part to the fact that he had been chaste. He prescribed an immoral experience for my friend. Then my friend followed the advice of this physician, even though he knew better! I didn't know anything about all this until I saw him years later. I noticed something completely different on his face. Something happens, you know, when a person commits immorality. Something leaves you that never quite comes back. My friend repented. He's sort of back with the Lord, though not the church. What a pity! Too many people fall away from the Lord because they believe lies instead of God's Word. So often we judge them, when instead we need to show the compassion of the Savior. The book of Jude says, "Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy." It's "God's kindness that leads you to repentance," Romans 2 tells us. Show someone that divinely-given kindness today!
