Pure as a New Snow Fall

As our hearts turn towards cupids arrow and Valentine's Day, it's a great time to reflect upon the gift of sex that God has given us. Sex is a wonderful gift that all to often we selfish human beings mess up. "Since the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge..." -Proverbs 1:7, it would be best to heed His Sex Manual on how to achieve the best in sexual relationship. God gives us this direction found in 1 Thessalonians 4:3 - "It is God's will that you should avoid sexual immorality." Before marriage we practice the discipline of chastity. This means we refrain from sex - oral, anal, intercourse, or anything else that would arouse us to sexual feelings designed for a married couple. On practical level, if you want to be pure as the newly fallen snow...keep both feet on the ground, don't unzip, unhook, unsnap, unbutton, pull up or down, and keep your own tongue in your mouth. Once you have a wedding ring, then the fun begins. On that honeymoon night you can begin a lifetime adventure of sexual experiences. But married couples must also practice the discipline of fidelity. That means my sex life is only for my spouse. No pornography, no adultery, no flirting with the opposite sex. Practically this means that us guys "bounce our eyes" so as not to look at a woman with lust, filter our internet to keep out unwanted (or wanted) images of unclothed women, and we don't meet with the opposite sex alone. May you experience the maximum sexual experience the Lord's way, with the spouse you have married. God's design leads to intimacy and pleasure the way He intended. If you've not seen His plan in your life, Jesus is full of mercy, grace, and love. He'll clean you up as the newly fallen snow. Begin again His way! These are the days my friend.
