The Purity Principle

Sexual #Purity for the men who travel can be very difficult. I have previously written about the pull of temptation that starts before the man even leaves home. We all know the loneliness felt when away from home. We know the struggles as the temptation is denied, and consequently it grows and grows. We know that it is really a spiritual battle, and there is ZERO chance of success without the power of Christ.

The Purity Principle sounds like something high school students would take. It is really no different. Committing yourself to a pure life will work wonders and eliminate quite a bit of temptation. Satan will know there is no need to mess with you - you are part of the Purity Principle.

I wish it was this easy and there would be no more temptation to sin. A man's secret sin is devastating to families. The guilt and shame of this sin forces it to stay a secret. And we all know what happens when we keep secrets. It's not good. It never is. Keeping things in the darkness of your heart only allows more darkness in.

All men, and especially those separated from the fellowship of their friends and families, are susceptible to sexual sin. Claim purity as the standard. You will not be disappointed!
