Men,
This is a short message to help point us in the right direction. Many of us desire sexual purity. We want to honor women. We want to honor our Creator by not having even a hint of sexual immorality. My question is how? How do we live pure lives?
Well, the traditional religious approach is to do more, try harder, and struggle more to be pure. Typically, our own human efforts result in failure. Then, we start the cycle over and "try harder."
I submit a different approach. Remember that God's strength is made known through our weakness. Please consider victory through "giving-up," or surrender. All we need was accomplished by Jesus through His death on the cross. It is God's power that overcomes sin, not ours.
Men, it is time to show the world God's power over sin, lust, and immoral thoughts and behavior.
Father, glorify Your name in us. Yes, we will be the men you created us to be. True men. Real men. Pure men.
Steve
