What I Wish I Had Known About Purity | SHARPER IRON

Church & Ministry

Sexual Purity

Sexual Ethics

“I tested the waters. More than once. I dove into previously forbidden pleasures expecting joy and fulfillment. And for a short time, it sometimes felt like my choices delivered. Ultimately, I was left feeling lonely, ashamed, and used. … The little voice of my conscience whispered that I was treading in dangerous waters, but the voices of the world mocked those concerns. I had no idea that some of the choices I was making then would create dark memories that continue to rise to the surface of my thoughts, compromising intimate moments and stirring regrets and shame.”

Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.
