I once tutored some first-year university students in a difficult subject. I’ll never forget one particular young woman, one of the brightest I’ve ever had. She was almost sharper than even me. She had an instinctive, lightning-quick ability to answer questions and solve problems. One day, when I asked what her secret was, her response: “I just see it.”
I feel I was born with this same sixth sense for detecting ANR’s God-ward validity.
When I peer into creation, God’s word, the Trinity, sex, marriage, procreation, families, friendships, and love, I know ANR is straight from the heart of God.
We natural-born ANR folks get it. We “just see it.” Our Peter Parker spidey-senses tell us instinctively that ANR is how the universe originally functioned prior to the Fall of Adam and Eve. When we look at creation, the cosmos, the animal kingdom, Scriptural references to intimacy and relationships, the gospel and the inherent oneness of the Trinity, we just know it. We feel it in our bones. ANR is how the universe operated prior to the rebellion of powerful divine beings and their subsequent temptation of Adam and his progeny. Before sin entered the cosmos, deep, abiding closeness and koinónia was the order.
Intimacy. Oneness. Unity. Fellowship. We just see it. It “clicks” in our brains.
We innately and intuitively know that intimacy is the language of the universe.
38 And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
“I personaly dont find anything wrong with this, my husband has been drinking my milk off and on for almost 6 years now and let me tell you he has never once gotten sick…. we all got food poisoning and he didnt get sick its amazing how brest milk works 🙂 Good luck and have fun :)”

Mark 5:1-20
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man
5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
“Every time I nurse from my beautiful wife’s breasts, she bestows a blessing from God to me.
We are convinced that Satan has been behind the taboo of ANR. If more marriages practiced ANR, I think there would be a lot less divorce. I’m trying to find the right way to share with couples that I counsel that ANR would be a good practice for their marriage. I believe strongly, that it is important. Maybe not a must, but those who don’t, don’t know what they are missing.
Here is my translation/interpretation from Proverbs 5:15-20: Drink milk from your wife’s breasts, flowing milk from her breasts.”

John 11:38-44
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said.
“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
“THAT IS THE GOSPEL IN ACTION. […]
This act clearly demonstrates an advantage women have. If a healthy couple with a newborn chances upon a hungry, sick and dying adult on a desert island, there is nothing the man can do to save the patient.
Nonsexual wet nursing for the healing of the deathly infirm[…] precisely models what God the Son came to do for us diseased, ungrateful, desperately ill sinners.”
Please keep praying for me. This spiritual war is real, and it gets more intense with each passing day. Because I’m saying, “Time’s up, Satan,” there are few things the enemy would like more than killing a Christian who threatens to decimate his territory.
[Verse 1: Shai Linne] Ok, let’s begin- let your mind roam Our scene takes place inside of a home The husband has just walked up the staircase He glares into space with despair on his face His soul is on fire, inside there’s a war That can’t be denied, He stands outside the door On the other side, His bride and her lover Oblivious to the fact their lie has been discovered So as they embrace and try to make haste They have no idea what’s about to take place Gun in hand, he longs to understand What would lead his wife into the arms of another man? He thinks back to the day they made their vows Before God, before the minister and the crowds Exchange of the rings, the joy of the reception Now a tainted memory destroyed by deception He had been faithful to her Now the fire of his desire got him ready to do something hateful to her He never thought his wife would be just a faker And that her lust would make her a covenant breaker The promise of fidelity they made was glorious But now His jealousy has made him furious And they can’t see the danger No screams or pleas they make could ever ease the pain or appease his anger He kicks open the door- they jump out of the bed “Don’t move!” is all he said, gun pointed at his head The screams of his wife as she clutches the covers close Her lover spoke to plead for his life The husband says to the guy- “Look me in my eye My face will be the last thing you see before you die” The husband cried inside- his love was bona fide Trouble for the bride- double homicide
[Chorus: J.R.] How quickly we are to break the vows we made As our unbelief leads our hearts astray How long before He turns His face away? We belong to the Jealous One We belong to the Jealous One Whose blood bought us back, whose victory won Our worship and praise to Him belong The Jealous One
[Verse 2: Shai Linne] The God of the Bible who invites our trust Must be understood to be nothing like us Most of the time, human jealousy will hurt you But when it comes to God, His jealousy is a virtue One of His awesome perfections surely Thunders His law and protects His glory He gave us the gift of the marriage relationship To acquaint us with a faint taste of this A wife for her husband or husband for wife The only time jealousy is right in this life But just as the distance is great between earth and stars God’s thoughts are much higher than ours So His jealousy is on a whole other level Unintelligible to the soul of a rebel But in sacred Scripture, God paints the picture The aim: to shake your frame- it straight convicts ya And that’s what it should do God’s jealousy is frightful, yet it’s delightful and good, too I couldn’t think of much worse if I tried Than a dude who smirks if you flirt with His bride So tell me, what kind of God would He be If He wasn’t bothered to see idolatry? Is God just supposed to laugh and withhold His wrath When He’s replaced by a golden calf? You say, I don’t worship a golden calf! Well for us, it’s self and sex and loads of cash Atrocious paths, we still don’t know the half Of how these things provoke His holy wrath So we stand in awe and wonder how come God took His jealous anger out on His Son So all those trust Him can see like we’re supposed to see And be forgiven of our spiritual adultery! [Chorus: J.R.]
With complete confidence, I’ll say this: above is the key trait in all ANR fanatics.
Think of the rest as bonuses.
ANR lovers aren’t afraid to take intimacy to any level. Any level whatsoever. As long as it’s not clearly forbidden in Scripture, they’re up for it.
They’re biblically open-minded, par excellence.
You can discern your potential mate’s open-mindedness by observing their eating habits. Are they picky eaters? Also pay attention to how moralistic, conservative and puritanical they are, as these are classic indicators of an aversion to ANRs.
Being nurturing, motherly, affectionate, tactile, soft, sensuous, romantic, down-to-earth, gracious, comforting, caregiving, endowed, compassionate, passionate, soulful and empathetic are all huge bonuses and positive signs of possible ANR interest in women, as are being humble, friendly, funny, lively, energetic, interesting, sexual and passionate great indicators in men.
But a man or woman can possess all these traits and still reject an ANR.
The silver bullet is open-mindedness.
Believe me, I’ve given it serious thought. I’ve come across men and women who possess those traits and still abominate ABF, and some with few of said traits who are very interested.
I think this is all because open-mindedness provides the critical thrust needed to get over the taboo of ANR. For something as socially anathema as an ANR, you need an open-minded person to shatter the taboo wall surrounding it. Think of the other traits such as nurturing, sexual, humble, romantic, comforting, etc, as positive and welcome signs that get you 25% up Mt. Everest. But to completely scale Mount Improbable, open-mindedness is your turbo jet pack.
Christian ANR enthusiasts know their Bibles. We know what the God of our Bibles prohibits and endorses. And we don’t go beyond Scripture in adopting arbitrary, man-made rules governing marital intimacy.
This sense of “nothing is off the table if God doesn’t explicitly or implicitly forbid it” is what makes Christian ANR fanatics wiser than their closed-minded counterparts. They’re deeper, more nuanced and more Scripturally well-rounded than their closed-minded, prim and proper, puritanical, moralism-skewed legalistic cousins.
A major criticism I’ve gotten from multiple people is that I’m being selfish and this lifestyle is a male-centric, self-centered masculine fantasy that reduces women into objects whose sole purpose is to provide milk.
My rebuttal is Z.
She’s a nursing mom who’s comfortable selling her milk to men. We arranged a meeting and I bought and drank her expressed milk for health reasons.
Within minutes of the purchase, Z texted me, saying the pleasure of meeting was all hers. She followed this up the next day, asking how I felt and if her milk had made any noticeable difference in my health.
We lost touch, or I would have continued to buy her milk for health benefits.
Point is, she absolutely relished the fact that I drank her milk for its health-boosting properties.
A man drinking her breast milk makes a woman feel loved, needed, appreciated, helpful, heroic and deeply valued.
Many women are enthralled by the intimacy and eroticism of the act, but a much more noble and ideal ANR wife is she who is into the whole lifestyle: feeding schedules, hand expression into his mouth, nursing bras, nipple shields, creams and pads, nursing pillows, breast pumps, galactatogoges et al.
For this beautiful wet nurse, occasional nursing during sex doesn’t do it. She wants the full-blown ANR lifestyle. She’s committed and drawn to the entire Husband Breastfeeding world.
“I would lead you. I would bring you into my mother’s house. (She is the one who was my teacher.) I would give you some spiced wine to drink, some juice squeezed from my pomegranates.”
— Song of Solomon 8:2, God’s Word Translation
From “A deeper biblical defense of ANRs (Am I twisting Scripture to justify my kinky fetish?)” on Christ-centered ANR:
“Let’s apply concepts we’ve just learned on Biblical hermeneutics from Got Questions to the Song of Solomon’s chapter 8, verse 2 as follows:
1. The first rule of biblical hermeneutics, we’re told, is to read literally. If the woman wants to feed her husband literal pomegranate juice, it’s rather odd that she prefers to do so in private, to avoid being subjected to neighborhood gossip. I find it rather juvenile to say ‘let’s sneak into my private quarters so I can feed you some pomegranate wine I just made.” Lovebirds past the puppy love stage are often eager to consummate their relationship in ways much more x-rated than sipping pomegranate wine – all on God’s schedule, of course.
2. Since the literal approach didn’t quite click, we proceed to read grammatically and (more) contextually, and we immediately discern that the wife isn’t referring to feeding her husband wine squeezed from literal pomegranates. Moreover, pomegranate wine isn’t made by simply squeezing it out of the fruit.
Therefore, she’s referring to something other than a literal pomegranate.
3. What is she referring to? Let’s re-read the verse in context. Again, she first expresses the desire to be with her man without being despised. In a private setting. She also longs for the ability to kiss him without engendering any gossip. In the next verse, she says ‘his left arm is under my head. His right arm is embracing me.’ So we read that their bodies are touching and she’s giving him something to drink in a very up close and personal context.
4. With his left arm under her head and right arm embracing her, the husband can comfortably reach his wife’s head, neck, breasts, and her upper torso, not much else. Further, the only organs that resemble pomegranates on a woman’s body, are easily accessible to her husband, produce a liquid that can be consumed in the intimate context of Song 8:2 are her breasts. Nothing else reasonably fits the scene depicted in the verse.
5. At this point, I believe it’s obvious she’s referring to Couples Nursing, but for the sake of completion, let’s consider the third and final law of biblical hermeneutics,’that Scripture is always the best interpreter of Scripture.’ When we ‘most broadly [consider] the entire Bible,’ we read in Genesis 2:24 that ‘the two shall become one flesh,’ and in Ephesians 5:28-33: ‘husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. And we are members of his body. As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”c This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself,’ we realize that the Bible as a whole takes very seriously the one-flesh union of husband and wife, because it shadows the deep, abiding, organic, visceral, indwelling, invasive, intrusive union Christ has with His bride. Also, remember that placing yourself in a position of vulnerability can paradoxically be the best way to show biblical leadership (side note: the Maccabees aren’t inspired).
6. Since nothing else reasonably fits the scene described in Song 8:2, and such an intimate, invasive, indwelling, penetrative union between bride and Groom is very consistent with the rest of Scripture, she has to be referring to Couples Nursing.”
If you struggle with intrusive mental images of ANRs, then “think often that Christ suffered agony for your purity. Fight image with image. Christ crying in agony.”
Titus 2:14:
Christ gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
1 Peter 1:18; 2:24:
You were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, [but with the precious blood of Christ]. He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
1 Corinthians 5:15:
He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
Hebrews 10:29:
How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
If married, it’ll be a ton of fun to toy with an experiment from time to time.
I’ll have days during which I consume neither food nor drink. These fasts will be explicitly intended to engender her engorgement.
Something interesting and beautiful will occur. The hungrier and thirstier I become, the more I’ll crave the sweet taste of her milk. And the longer I go between feeding sessions, the stronger she’ll ache to have me suckle away her engorgement.
I have a feeling my wife would LOVE this experiment, as would virtually all women who fancy the ANR lifestyle. There lies something deep in the female psyche that finds great joy and fulfillment in healing and rescuing people in great need, even on the brink of death. Her joy is multiplied when said person is her man.
I once heard of someone who loved waiting till the last second to urinate, until it became an emergency. That person loved the sense of relief while finally urinating.
A similar catharsis will likely occur in these days of fasting in my marriage.
Full breasts make an empty stomach and a full stomach makes empty breasts.
15 And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. 16 Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end; and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it will prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth will be planted in truth and joy forevermore. 17 And then all the righteous will escape and will live until they beget thousands of children, and they will complete all the days of their youth and their old age in peace. 18 And then the whole earth will be tilled in righteousness and will all be planted with trees and be full of blessing. 19 And all desirable trees will be planted on it, and they will plant vines on it, and the vine which they plant thereon will yield wine in abundance. And as for all the seed which is sown thereon, each measure [of it] will bear one thousand, and each measure of olives will yield ten presses of oil. 20 And you will cleanse the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness: and destroy all the uncleanness that is worked on the earth from off the earth. 21 And all the children of men will become righteous, and all nations will offer adoration and will praise Me, and all will worship Me. 22 And the earth will be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send [them] on it from generation to generation and forever.”
CHAPTER 11
1 “And in those days I will open the store chambers of blessing which are in the heavens, so as to send them down on the earth over the work and labor of the children of men. 2 And truth and peace will be associated together throughout all the days of the world and throughout all the generations of men.”
— 1 Enoch, Literal Standard Version (LSV)
The River of Life
22 Then the angel[a] showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life[b] with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.
I said emotional comfort trumps erotic pleasure in the appeal for women who enjoy ANRs, but even more appealing — and God-glorifying — is the desire to feed their men intimately. The urge to nurture and feed a man is definitely a huge push factor to ANRs for women. Guys, seek that above all. Above the emotional warm-and-fuzzies, above the physical, sexual, sensuous, tactile, should come a lass who gets thrilled to convey food to her flesh-and-blood, married-for-life, till-death-do-us-part man. Food that issues from her own body.
This Greek word for “compassion” is only used either of Jesus or a character in a parable of his that points back to him.
It means to be moved to the core of one’s being by the plight of the helpless.
Jesus Christ does everything to help his helpless sheep out of his innermost being. Everything he does for us comes from the core of his soul. From every fiber of his being, every drop of his blood flows his scandalous love for us.
From the seat of his being, his heart, flows every ounce of his love for us, through his veins. Straight from his core. Unidirectional, singular flow from his essence to ours.
Here’s the definition of splagchnizomai in its original language:

There you have it. If Jesus Christ were a woman on earth today, the female Jesus would be moved to the bowels with compassion for her husband, enough, in my opinion, to breastfeed him daily.
THIS woman loves to breastfeed her husband as she says it forces them to spend quality time together.
Mum-of-three Rachel Bailey, 30, first breastfed her husband, Alexander, also 30, in 2017 and the couple haven’t looked back since.
While it started as a way of Alexander helping out his wife when she was over-lactating while nursing their kids, the pair found it to be an amazing bonding experience that they believe has made their marriage stronger than ever.
However, Rachel has always made sure that her babies are fed first before Alexander finishes the remaining milk.
“When my middle child, Aria, now six, was breastfeeding, I went away on a cruise with Alexander,” she said.
“However, I forgot my breast pump and was badly engorged for two days.
Rachel remember feeling in a lot of pain and scared about getting an infection, so the couple decided that Alexander would try drinking the milk to relieve her.
“We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me but as soon as we did it, we realised it was perfectly fine,” she said.
“Alexander said that the milk was really different to how he expected it to taste, compared to the normal milk he is used to drinking.
“We realised there was nothing wrong with me breastfeeding him, and it would actually be good for him as it is so nutritious.
“He didn’t get a cold for two years after he started drinking my milk and so many people said his skin was so much better too.
“He ended up loving the taste of my breast milk and even prefers it to cow’s milk now.
The mum added: “It’s not a kink for us. It started as Alexander just helping me out when I was in pain, but it turned into more of an emotional bonding thing.
“I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to spend quality time together. It’s definitely brought us closer as a couple.”
When she fell pregnant again for the third time with her youngest child, Matthew, two, she’d begin over-lactating again and Alexander was on hand to gladly help her out.
She would breastfeed her husband at breakfast, lunch and dinner, but as she is now producing less milk, she is only breastfeeding him at night.
Rachel added: “It’s funny because if I eat something spicy, it also gives Alexander gas too.
“Shortly after giving birth, when I was producing the most milk, Alexander was drinking my milk three to four times a day.
“Obviously the babies are always fed first before it’s his turn.
“It’s a bit of a taboo subject, but we wanted to share it because we don’t think it’s bad and we aren’t ashamed. It was an instant relief when Alexander latched on, and it stopped me from being in pain.
“On top of that, it has also created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn’t start this.
“Nothing bad has come from it at all, so why should it be something that is hidden?
“I have just stepped away from nursing our youngest child as I am producing less milk, so he just feeds on my milk in the evenings now.
“I am sad that our breast feeding times have reduced now because I feel like it has taken away our routine of those blocks of quality time that we had together.
“It’s such a nice experience and I am so glad we started doing it. We aren’t embarrassed about it at all.
“Alexander felt so much more energised when he was drinking my milk and he said that he even felt in a state of medication while he was latched on.
“It was really special and brought us closer than ever before.”
This is by far the number one thing that drives women to seek ANRs. And I mean the most hardcore natural-born nursers. They’re hardwired to provide solace to their men, and enjoy the peace and comfort they get in return.
Two of the strongest female proponents of ANRs I encountered online and heavily profiled were birth doulas.
Granted, the eroticism of the act is important, but the emotional bond and comfort is of greater importance.
If I may put numbers to it, I’d say the ideal ANR wife is about 70% emotional comfort, 30% erotic pleasure. At least my ideal ANR wife operates on a similar ratio. If I could go back to the January 8th date linked above, I would emphasize the nonsexual, loving aspects a little more to my date who found it “erotic.”
God isn’t bashful when it comes to erotica. But he commands it only occurs in the context of a monogamous covenant union between a man and woman, with tons of ambient emotional warmth.
Ladies, I know the answer is both, but if you had to pick one, what would it be? What’s the greater ANR appeal to you: your husband suckling your breasts or him drinking your milk? In other words, which is the greater turn on — him suckling your dry breasts for hours or drinking your milk expressed into a cup? Are you in it more for the breast play or the deep significance of him drinking your milk? Thanks for responding.
Is God a genius or what? The names of all men listed in genealogies from Adam through Noah mean: “Man is appointed mortal sorrow but the blessed God shall come down teaching that his death shall bring the despairing comfort.” Edit: last night (Nov. 16), I researched each name from Seth to Lamech listed in 1 Chronicles 1:1-3, and it’s true. I skipped Adam and Noah, as I already knew the meanings of both names.
Goosebumps and chills down my spine. Jesus Christ stepped into my world and changed my life. He stepped down from heaven, gave himself for me and eternally comforted my soul.
The triune God’s ways are above ours. He works in ways we cannot see. He is mysterious, infinite, transcendent, holy, wise and unsearchable. How inscrutable his ways!
And this is just one of many hidden messages in the Bible. Who else could write such a book except an infinitely intelligent mind? Apologetics to the max.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.”
14And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.
— Titus 3
This single verse deserves its own space on this blog merely because of the mention of the words “good works,” “urgent need” and “[_]fruitful.”

If you struggle with intrusive mental images of ANRs, then “think often that Christ suffered agony for your purity. Fight image with image. Christ crying in agony.”
Titus 2:14:
Christ gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
1 Peter 1:18; 2:24:
You were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, [but with the precious blood of Christ]. He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
1 Corinthians 5:15:
He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
Hebrews 10:29:
How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
9 Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband, 10 and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to every good work.
14 So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander.
When women care for others, God frequently praises it. Cf. Dorcas in Acts 9:36-43.
14 And Elisha said, “As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I have regard for Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would neither look at you nor see you. 15 But now bring me a musician.” And when the musician played, the hand of the LORD came upon him. 16 And he said, “Thus says the LORD, ‘I will make this dry streambed full of pools.’ 17 For thus says the LORD, ‘You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink, you, your livestock, and your animals.’ 18 This is a light thing in the sight of the LORD. He will also give the Moabites into your hand, 19 and you shall attack every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree and stop up all springs of water and ruin every good piece of land with stones.” 20 The next morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came from the direction of Edom, till the country was filled with water.
Over the last five years, I’ve discussed ANR prematurely with a few women I didn’t know well. It certainly got me into trouble. Broken relationships and worse. This is part of a wider pattern of being slack in my Christian walk. I’ve now resolved to only discuss ANRs with women when one of three conditions is met:
She’s a Christian woman I’m actively pursuing
She’s a Christian woman I trust so much I can tell her anything
My wife and I are counseling her and her husband on how to achieve greater intimacy in marriage
Anything other than these poses too much of a risk. It’s wiser to err on the side of caution.
