Your desire to marry someone who has remained pure is a great goal. However, because we are sinful by nature, some people do have sex outside of marriage, maybe even before they became a Christian.

At the age of eleven I put my faith in Christ. I was drawn to the foot of the cross and decided to follow Jesus. Shortly after that milestone in my life, I entered puberty. All of a sudden things changed.

Recognition of this sin as a barrier to true intimacy, both with your Lord and your wife, and responding with true repentance and confession to those affected are difficult steps.

If only we would rehearse in advance the ugly and overwhelming consequences of immorality, we would be far more prone to avoid it.

To experience true accountability, we have both the right and the responsibility to ask each other hard and to-the-point questions.

With summer here and kids out of school, many Christians, and especially those who are parents, might be wondering: How do I take charge of the television?  

Years ago, while pastors at Good Shepherd Community Church, my friend Alan Hlavka and I both developed lists of all the specific consequences we could think of that would result from our immorality as pastors. The lists were devastating, and to us they spoke more powerfully than any sermon or article on the subject.
