It’s easy to get habituated to sin and rationalize it away, but the truth is, each time you do this, it becomes harder to break the habit. The deception will work its way into your heart and eat your soul. I’ve seen Christians fall from high positions. Don’t think it can’t happen to you. Treat…
Hint: Consider desires other than your own. [Notice echo of Philippians 2:3] By Emma Gray 08/12/2015 02:35 PM ET “How do you disentangle the biological facts of attraction and even lust from the more culturally manufactured patterns of sexually objectifying women in all contexts, everywhere all the time?” asks Cristen Conger of Stuff Mom Never Told…
I recently wrote a Covenant Eyes article “What Christian Culture Has Gotten Wrong About Sexual Purity.” In it, I wrote: Satan’s definition of sex is that it’s all about body parts and it’s all about consuming another person to satisfy myself. It breaks my heart how the Christian subculture has blindly accepted this definition when…

Those of us who really, really get it, who instinctively know that an ANR is a godsend, and is very biblical, are in even greater danger. I know this personally. My research and God-given insight into the divine gift of CN sometimes makes me idolize it, and it’s obligatory of me to caution my readers.…
“When their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith.” – 1 Timothy 5:11-12
God is gracious, God is kind. God wants us to have an amazing time in the bedroom after exchanging vows.

Wanting an ANR in…
