“A man should resolve before God that he will have no one-on-one friendships (or close working relationships) with women unless they are with his mother, grandmother, sister, or wife. Now, what is meant by ‘friends’? We have been taught ad nauseam by means of feminist propaganda that men and women are simply interchangeable units, and …
Telling Just Another Lie
“One of the more astonishing things about our modern immoralities is the identification we have sought to create between sexual laxity on the one hand and ‘openness and honesty’ on the other. This is one of the central lies, which is the desire to detach lying as a way of life from adultery. According to …
Small Compromises and Great Transgression
“Happily married men do not wake up one morning and decide they are going to commit adultery that day. Particularly with Christians, the consummation of infidelity usually comes as the last in a series of mild compromises and unobtrusive self-deceptions. More believing men have drifted into adultery than lurched into it” (Fidelity, p. 59).

The sexual laxity of our nation, …
The Kind of Grapes That Make Vinegar
“Sins are like grapes, and come in bunches” (Fidelity, p. 46).
And God’s Solutions Are Always Best
“In fact, just a few verses down, Paul shows that one important way to flee fornication is to run into the arms of a woman (1 Cor. 7:2)” (Fidelity, p. 45).
Naturally Clean
“Immorality is an insult to the body. Those who live in this way will continue to haul down upon their own heads all the natural consequences of unnatural behavior. How is it that a man can make love to his wife thousands of times over the course of forty years and not be at risk …
Temple of the Holy Spirit
[1 Cor. 6:18] “Sexual sin is not the worst of sins, but in some respects we may consider it the most complicated of sins. All dirt should be washed off our hands, but pine sap is harder to get off. Sexual sin entangles in a way that others do not . . . Paul mentions …
