There is a great contrast between love and lust. Lust is more of a sexual or greedy feeling, while love is more of a secure and content filled feeling we get from giving and receiving. Lust does not have to be something sexual, it can be a greedy desire for more money and power, etc. But for this article, I am using it in its sexual context.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 sums up the common traits and variances of love and lust.

LOVE is kind = considerate, caring, giving, thoughtful, understanding

Lust is envy = jealous, greed, spite, resentment,

LOVE is not proud = humble, submissive, meek, modest

Lust is self-seeking = selfish, rebellious, rude, egotistical, hateful,

LOVE rejoices in the truth = God is love, Love is God = Wisdom, Holy Spirit,

Lust delights in evil = Satan, sin, wicked, iniquitous, immoral, dishonest

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1John 4:8 AND

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we ought to also love one another. 1 John 4:11

The world has a superficial and selfish view of love, which has contaminated our understanding of what REAL LOVE is. The culture believes that love is something that makes us FEEL good and that its acceptable to sacrifice moral principles to obtain such love. But in doing so this culture IS NOT obtaining the love characteristic but the lustful ones.

Love involves unselfish acts. Faith is the foundation of Gods message. By putting our complete faith in God gives us the freedom to love others completely.

Matthew 5:27-28 says, You have heard that it was said, do not commit adultery, but I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right hand causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for you whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

When Jesus said to throw away you right hand or gouge out your eye, he didnt mean in the literal sense because even a blind person can lust. Jesus thinking was that if that were the only choice, then it would be better to go into heaven with one eye or one hand then to go to hell with two hands or two eyes.

Acting out lustful desires is very harmful in four ways.

1. Lustful desires destroys marriage

2. Lustfulness is rebelliousness to God

3. Lustfulness always hurts someone

4. Lustful acts leads to premarital sex

Jesus said the desire to have sex with someone other than your spouse is mental adultery. Therefore, If lustful desires are in our thoughts, then they most likely will come out in our actions!

For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34

In essence, its in what we THINK. What we crave and lust for in life shows our values and morals. What we think in our heart and mind comes back out in our actions.

Lustful thinking can turn into

1. Adultery = divorce

2. Premarital sex = genital diseases = lack of sexual interest with spouse

3. Sin = death

Sexual immorality is a temptation we all must face on a daily basis. God doesnt forbid sexual sins just to be difficult. God knows its power to destroy people lives physically and spiritually. God wants to protect us from damaging ourselves with immoral sexual desires. Sex outside of the marriage relationship always hurts someone. It hurts God because it shows that we care more about our own lustful desires than Him.

Paul said in Corinthians, Do you no know that your body is the a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price (Jesus Christ death freed us from sin). Therefore, honor God with your body 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20

Many people believe they have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. And they think this is freedom, but really, they are enslaved to their own lustful and sinful desires they are in bondage and slave to their desires.

When we become Christians (Christ ones) the Holy Spirit lives in us and fills us up, and we no longer own our own bodies, but we belong to God.

Do you love others like God wants you to love?

Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. 1 John 2:10

Badge holders are plastic cases that hold and protect your paper name badge. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they offer you several attachment methods. When designing your custom id badges, make sure that you design will fit in the badge holder and make sure that the letter is positioned correctly for the direction the badge holder hands and for easy reading.

The first thing that you will want to take into consideration when shopping for badge holders is whether you want to buy the badge holders separately from the name badge cards, or if you want to buy a kit. Name badge kits usually include the badge holder, the attachment devise and blank name badges. The advantage of these kits is that they have everything that you need. The disadvantage of these kits is that you will need to figure out how to compose name badges using your word processor. This can be tricky if your word processor doesnt have a template already set up for the name badge blanks you plan on using.

The next thing that you will want to take into consideration when shopping for badge holders is how they are attached to people. There are four basic attachment styles: stickers, pins, clips and lanyards. The type of attachment devise that you choose needs to be based on how long the name badge will be used, your badge budget and what is available in your market.

One of the best features of badge holders is that they are usually reusable. This means that you can recycle badge holders from event to event. This strategy will save you money and reduce the cost of creating name badges in future years. To ensure that you get back your badge holders at the end of an event you can offer attendees a badge collection container, or you can make employee badge turn ins mandatory when employment is terminated.

Custom ID badges and pins can be used for a variety of purposes. They can be used to add extra security in your office or venue, they can be used to identify people at a workshop or seminar, or they can be used as an entry card for conventions and other special events. Custom ID badges also work great for employee ID passes. When designing your employee ID badge you will want to include such things as a photo of the employee, their name, their job title, department and your company logo. Custom and engraved ID Badges and Nurse Name Badge Pins - Custom ID Badges is your source for employee ID badge clips, security tags, & custom neck lanyards.

Over half the forms of cancer diagnosed every year are skin cancer, and it is one of the most common forms of cancer among men. According to the American Academy of Dermatologys 2007 Skin Cancer Fact Sheet, one out of five Americans will contract skin cancer at some point in their lives, and if youve had more than five sunburns in your life, youve doubled your risk of getting the disease.

In light of these startling statistics and with new scientific research about the dangers of sun exposure constantly being released to the public, why are people still choosing to forgo sun protection?

Men seem to be especially susceptible to carelessness when it comes to protecting their skin from the suns rays. In a study conducted by the University of Texas, only 34% of men interviewed said they regularly used a sunscreen. This is in comparison to approximately 78% of women. Higher instances of sun carelessness could be attributed to athletic lifestyles, outdoor jobs and the fact that while a great deal of recent attention has been given to womens skin health, men are often left to find information out for themselves.

The true horror of skin cancer is that it is one of the most preventable forms of the disease. We at MenScience are very concerned about this epidemic among men and want to provide them with the tools and knowledge to prevent them from becoming future victims. With improved attention and awareness, the number of men who will contract skin cancer can be dramatically reduced.

Some of the simplest things to keep in mind are protection and observation:

Avoid prolonged sun exposure from 10 AM 4 PM. This is when the most intense rays appear.

Cover skin with shirts, pants, hat and sunglasses.

Every month or so, the American Cancer Society recommends that men check their skin, existing moles and birthmarks for changes in size, color or texture. Men are urged to see a doctor if changes are apparent. This is one of the most effective steps for catching problems before they can become life-threatening.

Regularly wear a sunblock that contains an SPF of 30 and shields skin from both UVA and UVB rays. These are the most harmful forms of sunlight, and all areas of your skin should be protected. Keep application consistent and try to repeat several times if youre outside for long periods of time.
