SEX, NOT WHY, BUT WHY NOT
Xxxxx yes! Data suggests that Christian men suffer from addiction to sex and or pornography more than any other demographic. And why? Its the forbidden fruit appeal, your Pastor tells you no more girls and all you can think of is girls, girls, and girls!!! Or guys. Its even worse if you were sexually active before you became spiri koko, you go through this whole abstinence phase where you're all but certain you will not be touching another girl (or guy) for the next decade, and its pure bliss! You don't even remember the last time you were in the mood and then
It hits you like a sledgehammer to the chest. From out of nowhere ( or probably from that pretty fair girl with long legs that you just met, or that hulking handsome guy), your sex drive manages to get some gas in the tank despite the tower of Babel-like hike in fuel price and before you know it, your speeding down the bumpy highway of-how far is too far? My Pastor would tell you "Your blood is red hot, there's no spirituality at play here, when the girl is standing before you *speaksintongues* won't save you. And he's right, 2Timothy 2.22 says you should flee, not pray, but flee, asin the disciples when the Roman soldiers came to pick Jesus up flee.
So what do you do? Its simple, if your conscience wont save you from the opposite sex, then common sense will:
Remember,
They Talk Too Much
Courtesy wikihow.
I may be off here, but women in general tend to talk. If we initiate the kissing, they almost always initiate the telling. One way or another, news is going to get out that Brother Wayne had words in French with Sister Diana last night, and that their exchange of tongues was not for the edification of the Church. Point being that our beloved female sanguine brethren or even heathen for that matter, will just not be good for your reputation, so even if youre not so holy, at least be so sensible.
As for the Sisters, hm, its even worse. Do you know how long dem guys have been plotting how great it would be for their social hierarchy to be the one that finally cracks the Da Vinci Code of Sainthood and get into Virgin Marys pants? Youd be more than a sexual tryst for them, youd be a full blown publicity stunt!
Its Too Easy
Look, I'll level with you here. The whole allure of vanity is that it prostitutes itself as having more depth and substance than simply chasing after the wind. It convinces you that its absolutely worth it. Eat the dammed fruit and youre gonna get superpowers, Lucifer says to Eve, but nope, not anymore. These days vanity doesnt even try hard anymore you know? Temptation is now like a Wizkid single, a hit back to back. Even though its the same melodious bit of nonsense we heard the last hundred times. So why O why, I ask, would we give in to something that isnt trying to hard?
You: Theres a unicorn beneath my zipper.
Her: Really? Ive never seen a unicorn before! Can I pet it? Kiss it? Ride it?
Like seriously? And guys are even worse, just be female and its a done deal. At the very least, lets only ever give the devil some credit when he tries really hard, say Beyoncé shows up on a rainy night. (PS, that would never happen, and if it did, come on man, you know better.)
And finally,
Daddy Loves You
John 14 vs 15 says if you love Him you will keep his commandments. Love constrains says Paul. But why would you love him that much? 1 John 4 vs 19 says we love him because he first loved us. Daddys crazy about his kids, and love inevitably breeds love. I know its hard, especially when its hard, but as these verses tell us, it is not the law that would save us, it is that love that is as strong as death, his love for us, breeding our love for him. Thats the ultimate why not! And it may take time, so much time that it starts to feel like its taking forever, but if you can out-believe your weakness, then one day, you will find the strength to say no.
