Youthful idiots from the Summer of Love embraced and flaunted 'free love'. It was a term we heard a lot back in the day. By the time the eighties got here, the HIV virus put nails into the coffin of that sexual liberating concept. There suddenly became a fright filled silence as free loving boomers realized that they might have already had intercourse with death. The disease could remain latent for up to ten years. Young people in their sexual prime began dropping like flower petals in the wind. Who was going to be next?
All of a sudden the world realized that free love had a high price. Those previously promiscuous boomers got real nervous as they were forced to endure free love's consequence. They started seeing the benefits in abstinence and monogamy. Embracing naked strangers quickly turned to distrusting willing strangers. The season of free love finally changed. Summer was over - and every one started feeling the chill.

And so free love was not free, but came at a great price for many. There is much wisdom in God's revealed word, if folks would only obey it. As I conducted my Bible study last night here in Ulsan. Korea, Wisdom spoke on ignoring her advice.
Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.” (Proverbs 1:24-33 ESV)
God's Word is true. Ignore it at your own peril.
Amen.
