El Basky Elton - You Are Lord (Prod. By SedemMixBeatGh)

Do You hunger so much to live in the presence of God? Do you wish that you could also tell the Lord, just as the psalmist said that: "my soul follows hard after you" or "as the deer pants for the water Brooks so my soul longs after you"? Look no further, God is beside you and lives inside of you by the presence of His Holy spirit. Acknowledging Him and confessing that He is Lord over your life and all your accomplishments is all that it takes to be launched into the blissfulness that is enjoyed by the true worshippers.

Simple answer: Nope! What is the new drug we are talking about here? If you can't comprehend then take your time to find out what the campaign is all about. We often hear things like: “Always the same, moralistic prudes…trying to tell grown adults they know what’s best for them…their goal is controlling other people’s sex lives.” And since some people over the years have called for the censorship of pornography, some might assume that Fight the New Drug’s approach to educating on porn’s harmful effects must also include the desire to control people’s access to porn, or their sex lives altogether.

We’ve always believed that education is the key to allowing individuals the right to make informed decisions and meaningful change—and that’s what ultimately what we’re all about as an organization. This issue is much bigger than that, though–especia...
