Fight Like A Man Against Sexual Sin – Part 2

Send us Fan MailGUEST: EMEAL “EZ” Zwayne, author, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal PurityThe Book of Proverbs was written to be profitable to all readers but is particularly directed to young men. One of the prominent exhortations and warnings for sons in Proverbs is on the issue of moral purity. Listen to Proverbs 5:18-23:Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth.As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths.His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.God wonderfully designed us with the ability to procreate and to enjoy the one-flesh dynamic of sexual intimacy within the one-man one-woman marriage covenant, all to His glory. But what God beautifully designed is what the devil, the world, and our flesh relentlessly corrupts. God says, “rejoice in the wife of your youth.” Satan says, “Do whatever you want with whomever you want.”And the destruction that results from lust and pornography and fornication and adultery and homosexuality and every other kind of sexual sin are everywhere—bondage to sin, broken marriages, sexually transmitted diseases, and alienation from God. Because of the pull of sexual desire and the ubiquity of sexual sin, it’s common to conclude that God’s call for sexual purity—mentally and physically—is an impossible standard.In part 2 of this series on personal purity, Emeal Zwayne, president of Living Waters, a ministry which exists “to train the members of Christ’s Body in the principles of biblical evangelism” will join us to discuss his excellent book, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity.Fight Like a Man is our new featured resource and we will tell you how you can order a copy today for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.
