Sexual Temptation

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article from an unknown author that I wanted to share.


It’s springtime, the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and women are wearing more revealing clothes.

But some of you guys are already married, and some of those women you’re staring at are other men’s wives.

You should remember what Jesus said about this…

[Matthew 5:27-29] You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Now if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Jesus said to pluck out your eye if that’s what it takes not to stare. 

Are you even trying not to look lustfully?

Are you avoiding that coworker that tempts you?

Do you still watch TV shows with sex scenes, or do you even watch porn?

If you can’t control yourself do you still go to certain parties or certain bars where women tend to dress provocatively?


If you continue to stare, do not make excuses for yourself, consider,

[1 Corinthians 10:13] No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Jesus explained how serious this is and that you need to take measures to control yourself in Matthew 5:27-29 because. “It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”

Consider God’s words carefully,

[Jeremiah 5:8-9] They are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing for his neighbor’s wife. Should I not punish them for this?” says the Lord. “Should I not avenge myself against such a nation?”

Springtime is when David saw Bathsheba, imagine how much trouble he would have avoided if the second he saw her on the roof bathing he would have said “nope”, turned around, and went back inside.


Which brings up the question, why was Bathsheba bathing in broad daylight within view of the king’s palace?

We should try not to do anything if it causes another believer to stumble.

[Romans 14:21] It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or ➡️do anything that causes your brother to stumble.⬅️

Which means women should follow God’s commands to dress modestly.

[1 Timothy 2:9] And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.

I have addressed both sides of the issue, men should work hard to control themselves and women shouldn’t go around tempting men to stare with provocative clothing. But no doubt in the comment section many of you will act as if I didn’t cover both roles men and women are commanded to take to prevent this problem.

I pray to God almighty to give the Best Life Partner to as many who Truly Desire to Marry with the Right Motives...Amen.

What Is Sex Sin?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

“So the line had stuck in my head. “Sex,” I was pretty sure, meant whether you were a boy or girl, and “sin” made Aunt Jan's very angry, but what the two together meant I could not imagine. And so, seated next to Father in the train compartment, I suddenly asked, “Father, what is sex sin?”



He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing. At last he stood up, lifted his traveling case from the rack over our heads, and set it on the floor.

“Will you carry it off the train, Corrie?” he said.

I stood up and tugged at it. It was crammed with the watches and spare parts he had purchased that morning.

“It’s too heavy,” I said.

“Yes,” he said. “And it would be a pretty poor father who would ask his little girl to carry such a load. It’s the same way, Corrie, with knowledge. Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger you can bear it. For now you must trust me to carry it for you.” - from The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom.




We are asking our children to carry loads that are way too heavy for them. They should not be forced, as children, to see and feel the world through the lens of adults. Innocence is worth protecting and worth fighting for. We need to do our part as parents and caregivers to carry certain things for them until they are old enough to bear the load. We must make sure they are receiving education, and indoctrination.
