Walking Strong

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — Walking Strong This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16) I’ve finally gotten back into serious workouts after a more than twenty year hiatus, and I’m glowing. Energy’s high, stress is hugely reduced, sleep is deeper, and – (drum roll) – I’ve all but lost my taste for fast foods. That may be the biggest miracle, because hamburgers and burritos have been my bad company for Continue Reading

Of Morsels and Birthrights

Every Monday we’ll post something about maintaining your sexual integrity. Hope it helps. — Of Morsels and Birthrights Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. - Hebrews 12: 16-17 I used to think Esau got a raw deal. He was a young man of the earth, skilled in hunting and physical prowess, Continue Reading

Hers, Mine and Ours

Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with strengthening marriages. Hope it helps. — Hers, Mine and Ours “Likewise the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.” - I Corinthians 7:4 St. Paul doesn’t leave a married guy much leeway when it comes to his own body. First he reminds the man that if he belongs to Christ, then he is “not his own.” Then he clarifies who the true owner is when he informs him that what he calls his body is actually a temple of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:19) and that he is Continue Reading

Training Tools From The Master

I’m on vacation this week and so am repeating some prior posts. Looking forward to being with you again next week, with new material. God bless. — Training Tools from the Master Any man who decides to resist his urges is a man in training. He knows he has desires, some of them strong and daily, that could derail his life if he caves in to them. So he adopts a lifestyle of resistance, saying “no” to what his flesh would say “yes” to because his heart is saying “yes” to something higher and better. He’s an athlete, training Continue Reading

Memories

Every Monday we post something about maintaining your sexual purity. Hope it helps. --- MEMORIES “Mr. Dallas,” the card read, “how long have you been sexually sober? And does it ever get easier?” A pointed but fair question. I was teaching a conference in Orlando last October, and during the Q and A session, one of the attendees sent up the card wanting to know about my consistency over the years. Feeling a bit like I’d just been asked if it was boxers or briefs, I replied that it had been 27 years since I’d viewed Continue Reading

The Intensity Trap

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. — The Intensity Trap In the summer of 1966 I discovered a thrill that would keep me hooked for life. I was 11, and we were visiting an old amusement park in the downtown sector that featured one of the country’s biggest roller coasters, a rickety monstrosity rightfully called The Cyclone Racer. Even my first glimpse of it fascinated me: a grinning brown dinosaur daring me to Continue Reading

Where Love and Sorrow Meet

Every Monday we’ll post something about maintaining your sexual integrity. Hope it helps. — Where Love and Sorrow Meet “When Jesus calls a man”, Dietrich Bonheoffer said, “He bids him come and die.” No getting around that. The claims of God on our lives are as unmistakable as His grace – unmerited favor with a death sentence attached. Jesus said as much when He declared: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:24) But given the fact I’m no Messiah and the Continue Reading

A True Player

Every Monday we post something about maintaining your sexual purity. Hope it helps. --- A True Player I loved belonging to little league as a kid – I just didn’t care for baseball. Hand/eye coordination didn’t come naturally to me, and I’ve never been quick, so strike outs and missed catches were a problem. I could manage a football pretty well, and I blocked and tackled better than most. Still, baseball eluded me. Yet there I was, season after season, wearing a little league uniform. I liked the status. I liked saying Continue Reading
