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!

NPR Recognizes porn as a problem!

Hey guys! My brother in law sent me this link from NPR that discusses the issue of pornography. This Sunday is National porn awareness day. Hit the link, read the article, and watch the video...yes, I am advising you to watch a video -- something I never do. It is not you tube and it is safe and clean!

I found alot of encouragement in this -- especially that 300 churches will be talking about porn.. 300 churches on the same Sunday bringing this secret sin out into the light!

Enjoy, my brothers in this battle of sexual purity!

Cybersex Addiction Screening Test

The Cybersex Addiction Screening Test is designed to assist the assessment of sexually compulsive or "addictive" behavior. The test provides a profile of responses which help to identify men and women with sexually addictive disorders.

3 or more "yes" answers indicate there might be a problem.

Are you involved in multiple romantic or sexual affairs in chat rooms, Internet or BBS?

Do you not consider online sexual or romantic "affairs" to be a possible violation of spousal/partnership commitments?

Have you failed in attempts to cut back on frequency of online or Internet sexual and romantic involvement or interaction?

Does online use interfere with work (tired or late due to previous night's use, online while at work etc.)?

Does online use interfere with primary relationships (e.g. minimizing or lying to partners about online activities, spending less time with family or partners)?

Are you intensely engaged in collecting Internet pornography?

Do you engage in fantasy online acts or experiences which would be illegal if carried out (e.g. rape, child molestation)?

Has your social or family interactive time decreased due to online fantasy involvement?

Are you secretive, or do you lie about the amount of time spent online or type of sexual/romantic fantasy activities carried out online?

Do you engage with sexual or romantic partners met online, while being involved in marital or other primary relationship?
