Resources by Topic: Sexual Purity

We live in a hedonistic society that tells us desires are meant to be fulfilled. But every desire need not be fulfilled, and indeed, in many cases, should not be.

Countless believers are in bondage to this sinful behavior and many feel hopeless about being able to overcome it.

There are innumerable pressures put upon us by society, especially through the media, to abandon God’s blueprint for sexual purity.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with pornography, I encourage you to read through this excellent letter from an EPM volunteer whom I love and respect.

When speaking about sexual purity at my church, I told parents that if they are going to let their children have internet access in the privacy of their own rooms, they may as well buy thousands of pornographic magazines and stack them in their children’s closets.

We need to think in terms of what choices we are making that are exposing us to impurity. I can’t just magically snap my fingers and expect that I’m not going to face sexual temptation.
