Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men

A Man and His Sex Life

We shouldn‘t think we are so spiritual that we‘re u n touchable. Whether you are married or single, when you are tempted to be sexually immoral, run away! Start praying. Avoid contact with the woman. Why? You are living in a body that is designed with complex chemicals and hormones that respond to stimuli from what you see and hear. Remember that ego need feeds the soul first — even though it leads to bodily sin. Be careful how you respond to a woman‘s praise and attention. If it is starting to lead to i n appropriate attraction, you know you need to back off. Your ego need must be met in God and what He says about your value to Him. Read and meditate on this re markable verse to realize your worth in God: What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet. (Ps. 8:4 – 6) No matter what your sexual past has been, you can re ceive forgiveness and freedom by coming to Christ, repent ing of your sin and wrong ways of thinking, and receiving His love and wholeness. Then you can begin to live out His plan for your sexuality. You will become a true light, illumi nating God‘s ways in the sexual darkness and confusion of our times. Your Past Is Not Your Future
