Speaking Up for Purity

I have several young women in my life right now who are struggling to stay on track with the Lord in the area of sexual purity. I am so thankful that they are asking for help, and I am grateful to have a resource like Lies Young Women Believe by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and Dannah Gresh to turn to for help in guiding them to God's truth. This book is FULL of scripture, and, along with my Bible, it is a great tool! 2 Peter 2:19 tells us that "whatever overcomes a person, to that she is enslaved." So many people become enslaved to sexual sin and are overcome by it. Not only young people but all of us need our eyes and ears fixed on the Lord in this area of our lives.

I was working on my computer on Tuesday, and when I clicked on a web address to get some information, WOW! I got more information than I wanted. My computer had taken me to a pornographic site, and it would not let me off it until I shut down my system and restarted it! It made me cringe to see that stuff, and the images stayed in my mind all day, even while I used Scripture to combat them. It made me so thankful that I am not in that lifestyle anymore, and it reminded me that teens living in this sex-saturated culture need people to show them God's plan for their bodies and intimacy. I thank the Lord for opportunities to speak up for purity in the lived of our clients at MWC!
