Blew It Again

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — Blew It Again Day has begun and I’m already sinning Help me to change this heart that I have Lord, help me taste of the grace that You’re giving. I want to be a spiritual man. - from “Let the Old Man Die” lyrics by Chuck Butler When God puts His finger on a part of your life needing change, a new standard is birthed. Something you may have found acceptable is unacceptable now, making abstinence from that “something” a Continue Reading

Armed

Every Monday we’ll post something about maintaining your sexual integrity. Hope it helps. — Armed Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. - I Peter 4:1 In 1982 I embarked on some serious bodybuilding, putting my then 27 year old carcass through a tortuous regime which I came to truly love. My trainer spent a good deal of time prepping me for the bodybuilding lifestyle, emphasizing what became the most Continue Reading

Beware the Grudge

Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with strengthening marriages. Hope it helps. — Beware the Grudge A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. ~ Ruth Bell Graham On the best of football teams fumbles happen, and passes are either poorly thrown or missed. But the players would be unusually stupid if they held their errors against each other, for obvious reasons. They have a goal. They need each other’s cooperative effort to achieve that goal, and if they waste time and energy holding grudges against a teammate Continue Reading

Naked, Unashamed and Accountable

Every Monday we’ll post something about maintaining your sexual integrity. Hope it helps. — Naked, Unashamed and Accountable And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. - Genesis 2:25 Shame wasn’t part of the human vocabulary until sin entered the picture. Adam and Eve were, as countless paintings and films suggest, innocently erotic and erotically innocent. No clothes and, I daresay, no inhibitions. That was then, and then was worlds away, ages ago. Today shame permeates the human experience. No Continue Reading

Embracing the Drudge

Every Monday we’ll post something about maintaining your sexual integrity. Hope it helps. — Embracing the Drudge And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Galatians 6:9 I find successful people aren’t necessarily brilliant, but they are willing to invest properly. They watch their investments of time and energy; they choose carefully who they invest friendship and trust in; they accept the fact that the habits they invest in now will hugely determine their immediate and long Continue Reading

Self-Watch

Every Wednesday we’ll post something to do with doctrine and recovery. Hope it helps. — Self –Watch “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, after I have preached Christ to others, I myself should become disqualified.” - I Corinthians 9:27 You’ve gotta appreciate Paul’s honesty. Here’s the great apostle/evangelist admitting that even at this point of his life and ministry, self-watch is essential. After preaching Christ to others, he realizes he could step outside God’s approval, and here, I Continue Reading

Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with restoring marriages. Hope it helps. — How Do I Know He’s Getting Better? Five Things to Look for When a Man Says He’s Repentant Wives often ask my wife and I how they can really know their husband, who’s committed some form of sexual sin, is getting better. While there’s no acid test, there are some things I believe a woman can and should expect when her man says, “I was wrong; I’ve repented of it.” If that’s the case, here are the top five things I think she should Continue Reading

Who Really Stays Pure?

Every Monday I’ll be posting something to do with maintaining sexual integrity under the category “Keeping it Clean” Hope it you find it helpful. --- Who Really Stays Pure? Let’s face it, sexual purity is both a goal and, these days especially, an achievement. It’s a way of being and living that runs contrary to so much of what we’re exposed to daily. The fact that we’re sexual creatures with natural responses can be enough of a struggle, but add to that the ongoing stimulation of billboards, immodestly dressed women and Continue Reading

What’s Satan Got Against Me, Anyway?

Every Thursday we’ll post something to do with Relationship and Purity. Hope it helps. --- “What’s Satan Got Against Me, Anyway?” We don’t know too much about him, but what we know is sobering and instructive. He’s a created being who fell from grace (Isaiah 14:12); he enticed the first humans into disobedience (Genesis 3:1-4); he’s an adversary to all of us (I Peter 5:8); he has specific devices that can be known (II Corinthians 2:11); his future is sealed and we’ll someday be relieved of him and his wiles.
