Temptation and Change. An Extract from a Story. God Sex book)

0 Comments

Each day, we have a choice to renew our minds. It is a new day with new beginnings and new chances to heal.

Our minds change a little at a time and we find ourselves exercising some form of power in our lives.

God’s power helps us as every new day there are new temptations. Temptations are attractive. As we walk out our journey, we find ourselves in moments where we put ourselves in a place of weakness where we know temptation will meet us. We know the answer, yet, we still must make the choice. The mind may try to counter-argue: “Just one last time. I’ll do it. It’s fine. I’ll start again tomorrow.”

If we fall in this moment, we can blame the circumstances, but it was still our choice.

Good and bad opportunities will come. We can see these moments as tests, and like tests, we need to pass them; otherwise, the same test returns.

Forgiveness, Sexuality, Moving Forward

0 Comments

There is and always will be the issue of forgiveness. We all struggle with regret for past mistakes, and we all live with the memories of what we have done.

The first step in moving on is to admit that we are fallible and make mistakes. God forgives us, and we must, therefore, forgive ourselves and others.

Our problem can be letting go of our pride and embarrassment over what we have done. We should not be in a resentful place nor can we afford to be a person that holds resentment.

God encourages us to forgive, for it is in forgiveness that we are forgiven.

We also have to choose to not dwell on our mistakes. Sexual sin is often difficult to forget because of the intimacy we held with others. It did not seem like a bad idea at the time, but when the relationship dissolves, we face the regret of giving ourselves over to something temporary.

We have to choose to cast down our thoughts and imaginations. If we keep on allowing ourselves to dwell on our mistakes then we are going to be depressed. Choose to move forward.

Sex, History and the Bible

0 Comments

Despite popular belief, the Song of Solomon is not the only book of the Bible that talks about sex.

The Bible contains great revelations and stories regarding sexual issues; including the origin of sex, marital sex, group sex, seduction, sex as a form of worship, promiscuity, prostitution, rape, polygamy, homosexuality, bisexuality, incest, bestiality, and coitus interruptus.

God is not silent about sex. In some ways, God presents “Fifty Shades of Grey” about the most controversial topic in the world, and yet, at the same time, He provides freedom and safety because He sets the guidelines for what is a huge part of our lives.

The many translations of the Bible and the shifting in language over the centuries have served to mask the Bible’s information concerning sexuality. That or perhaps we just don’t read it enough to discover the shocking facts! (Extract from God Sex).

Masturbation Truths from God Sex book

0 Comments

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:3–4 that one’s sexual capacity does not exist for himself.

Masturbation teaches us to fulfill ourselves, and, as a result, we become impatient when in a relationship with another.

A masturbator does not need to think of another when seeking fulfillment. He already knows his body well and knows how to fulfill himself. It is a shallow shadow of what true intimacy and sexual fulfillment really are.

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians of marital sex that we should “stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

God designed sex so that we give to and satisfy our marriage partner. It takes time to develop a good sexual relationship. We need to learn each other’s bodies and what brings our lover to sexual fulfillment.

Disconnection and Relationships

0 Comments

The sense of disconnect formed due to skewed views of gender identity has transitioned into our communication methods. Our world is becoming dominated by shallow relationships.

Twitter, texting, instagram, and facebook, among other things, allow easy connection, but there is little depth in these connections. Texting and facebook are a convenient and effective means of communication; however, they demand little from us.

It’s easy to write “love you,” “praying for you,” or “let me know if I can help.”

More than eighty percent of teens over the age of seventeen own a cell phone, and sixty percent of twelve-year-olds own a cell phone.

It is far too easy to make friends and create superficial relationships in this manner and even easier to take those relationships too far.
