Revolutionary Strategy

Almost two years ago we did a series called Sex Crazy. It was clear and very helpful to many. At the end of that series we gave out magnets with 10 things to do...to help keep ourselves out of sexual trouble. I stated then, that it seemed drastic....but we needed a new Sexual Revolution of boundaries if we were to keep our families from having to deal with the many issues that are recking so many homes. I thought as we lead up to our new series that the hundreds of new people since January of 2007 may find these thought provoking and helpful. Here are 10 things we should all commit to if we want to stay away from sexual temptations:

I will have an Internet Filter on all my computers! (all means all)

I will share my personal & work cell phone records with my spouse every month!
(Close friend if single)

I will share the monthly T.V. bills with my spouse.
(Close friend if single)

I will not allow my kids to view sexually graphic or suggestive movies.

I will not allow any type of pornographic literature/videos in my house.

I will dress attractively but not to attract a sexual response from others.

I will talk openly and regularly with my kids about dating, modesty and their sexuality.

I will talk openly and regularly with my spouse (boy/girl friend) about my sexual desires, struggles and boundaries.

I will guard myself from going to places that cause me to “slip” into desires that I know are harmful for me.

I will monitor what I personally watch and read so that it does not lead to sexual desire that are not appropriate for me.


Always remember that Church is the right place to talk about such things. These next three weeks will be very helpful to all of us who find ourselves caught in a world the has made sex an insensible pursuit that leaves us feeling lonely, hurt, depressed, confused and never satisfied.

Today's Bible Reading Luke 14 (new bookmarks coming this Sunday!)

Jesus knows how to tell it like it is.....He nails the people who thought they were "entitled to sit in the best place" at any large gathering of people. He teaches them that we should always choose to honor other people by letting them have the best places and it is better for us to assume the more humble manner...until someone actually ask you to "move-up." This is such a great principle to live by......why do we always assume we are entitled to have the best or worse yet actually put down others by our actions so that they can't have or do something.

Offering your seat on the bus, letting someone pull in front of you in traffic, waiting patiently at the gas station, holding a door for someone as you enter the store....just flat out being gracious and courteous to others is a lost art in our world. Instead we have an "I have to get mine" type of attitude.
