Today Wednesday, April 2nd of , I was meditating on God's word on "sexual immorality" and did a "word search". I found this verse, which I've read before; however, is what concludes-"in my opinion"-our sexually perverse culture Back in my college days, I was very into wanting "sex".
I even had a poster of a "sexy babe" on my room of the residential hall Gay Hall I lived at and carried a condom in my wallet. I feel God protected me from the parties and college life as I became a Christian towards the end of my first year in college. However, it was even more of a battle as I still was tempted by my past life e. Paul to visit. What helped me was fasting e.
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh.

What has helped me with this over the years is different activities to feel-avoid temptation: "cutting-out" cable, "trying" to not-click on certain sites on the internet, avoid being alone with certain woman e. Overall, I just need to keep my mind "pure" and "clean" which meditating in God's word daily as much as possible really helps!
I just thought of this too, your actions e. For example, I took that "sexy woman" poster in my dorm room after a friend told me it was very hypocritical of me as I just became a Christian Spring of 96'.
