A PARABLE
OF THE PERVERT ACROSS THE STREET!
The house across the street from you has been unoccupied for nine
months. The FOR SALE sign hanging in the front yard finally has the
notice attached to it indicating the house has been "SOLD." When you
see the U-Haul truck pull up to the house across the street and
furniture unloaded, you decide to be neighborly by going over and
introducing yourself to your new neighbors. You find out that your
neighbors are a married couple in their mid thirties with no
children. The couple has been married for ten years and seem to have
a real stable marriage. You don't know exactly how the subject came
up, but you find out that they are both Christians; You are so glad
to have a godly couple living directly across from you that you
invite them to your house for dinner. The couple gladly accepts your
invitation. The husband in this couple then says: "We really
appreciate you inviting us to dinner. If you will allow us, my wife
and I will provide entertainment after dinner." In your mind you're
thinking that they're going to bring some family games or maybe sing
some Christians songs. You tell the husband: " If you are planning
to sing songs, I have to tell you we don't have a piano at my house.
"The Husband says: "Don't worry about not having a piano, my wife
and I can bring our own music. "You ask: "Oh, are you singers?" The
Husband says: " No, my wife and I do sort of a strip tease act;
After that, we act out the passionate scenes from our favorite New
York Broadway Play called '7 HOT NIGHTS IN VEGAS.'" You are totally
taken off guard and shocked by what you just heard. For a few
seconds you are speechless. When you get your thoughts together, you
then say: "NO WAY DO I WANT TO SEE YOU AND YOUR WIFE STRIP YOUR
CLOTHES OFF AND CARRY ON ROMANTICALLY - DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF
CHRISTIAN MODESTY; ROMANCE SHOULD BE IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME
BETWEEN ONLY YOU AND YOUR WIFE!!!" The Wife then says: "My husband
did not mean that we strip everything off; It just looks that way
because we have on bikini bathing suits the same color as our skin."
And the Husband adds: "Anyway, we're only acting out the romantic
scenes. We don't actually carry it all the way through. That would
be in poor taste." You say: "I'm sorry sir, you have just un-invited
yourself to dinner. Don't you know that the works of the flesh will
kill you spiritually if you allow them control in your life. I will
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, allow such wickedness in my living room. You
need to get on the altar at church and ask God to deliver you." The
Husband then says to you: "Did you know they made '7 HOT NIGHTS IN
VEGAS' into a movie? It came on television last Sunday night. Did
you happen to watch it?" You are tempted to lie; but you tell the
truth because you know the Bible teaches that all liars will burn
eternally in the lake of fire. "Yes." You mumble under your breath
"I saw it." The Husband then says: "Do you mean to say you watched a
movie like that, which is full of hot, steamy love scenes?" The
Husband concludes: "Will you be joining my wife and I at the altar?"
I think all three of us need God to deliver us from ungodly
activities.
