If it's a "bad one," you've got to turn it off if you're serious about really being His man or woman. If you don't want to let dirt into the Holy Spirit's house, filter what you let come in. You wouldn't knowingly let your mouth drink dirt. Well, then, don't let your soul do it! http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9789 2010-08-31T14:22:30-05:00 Learn more about STD's--what they are, and who's at risk. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=186&topic_name=Marriage 2010-08-20T15:18:21-05:00 After living in a difficult marriage for years, Nancy Anderson told her husband that she was having an affair and was going to leave him.

This contrasted the typical custom of divorcing a woman over pettier circumstances. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%205:3-4&version=NIV 2009-09-18T13:18:44-05:00 Adultery might look alluring at first glance, but like any sin, it only destroys us in the end. It's not worth it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/girl-watching-god-is-watching-5906 2009-09-11T12:53:52-05:00 Both men and women have fallen for a casualness about sex that robs it of its God-given beauty. Like snow, it's beautiful when it's fresh and clean but it's ugly when it's trampled and soiled. Godly men, make that covenant with your eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. Godly women, dress for respect, not attention like the temple of God that you are. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.5.28&version=NIV 2009-07-14T10:47:30-05:00 Is it enough to just "do the right things"? Will that make us right with God? Not according to Jesus' famous teaching about lust and adultery, which state that God requires purity of heart as well as of body. That's bad news to anyone who thinks they're righteous before God just because of their perfect outward behavior! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.5.27-30&version=NIV 2009-07-13T16:48:56-05:00 One of Jesus' most revolutionary teachings was that righteousness isn't just defined by your outward actions--it also matters what's in your heart. It's not enough to just "do the right thing" if your heart isn't in the right place. In this famous passage, Jesus teaches that from a spiritual perspective, lust is as dangerous as full-blown adultery.
