The wrong reasons

One of the main points highlighted in the "Guarding Your Heart" series at Agape Christian Fellowship over the last month has been checking your motives. Don't just analyze your actions for rightness or wrongness, look at your own heart - that's where God looks. Are you getting into this relationship because it will help you grow as a person or because you have emotional needs that you're expecting someone to meet?

Clearly, Nisha Sharma's fiancee did not attend any of our discussions.

Nisha, a 21-year-old Indian, called police to report that her fiancee was attacking her father and demanding a $25,000 dowry. It's been made illegal to give or accept dowries in India, just as the caste system has been abolished. However, as you might expect, the practice continues clandestinely. What's more interesting is that NIsha Sharma has become a media star. Not only has she received numerous proposals from young men who admire her courage, she's also been asked to run for state legislature by a political party! She's on radio talk shows and TV news, and is touted as a hero by Indian feminists. InstantReplay gives official props to Nisha for realizing what men are really after..... money.
