Let’s isolate the moment of temptation: Maybe it looks like your fingertips hovering to type in a string of words you know will lead you to that site.
Or maybe it looks like driving home a different route so you find yourself rolling slowly past that street.
Every bit of you pulses with energy in that moment of temptation.
The world is encouraging you to say “Yes” to the urge. Giving in can leave you alone with shame and regret. So, let’s pivot to a different “yes.”
This is hard work but shift your heart, mind and body in that moment to a different option. God is inviting you to a bigger YES.
Let’s listen in for more.
Highlights:
The world tells you, “You can’t be yourself in holiness. You can only be yourself in sinfulness.” What if that is a lie from the pit of hell?
Christianity understands that human beings are not just disembodied spirits. Human beings are embodied creatures, embodied spirits.
We are each an individual, human person, hybrid spirit/body creature. So, in order to live-giving life, we need to live in accordance with that truth.
The world, with all its sexual promiscuity and permissiveness, ignores we are created as one individual person. Our bodies are designed for sexual union with one person.
To be a human person, to have sex with them is to become ONE flesh with that person.
