I posted a question on Facebook today and it's getting lots of varied
comments. One man's answer bears repeating and deserves to be shared...
QUESTION:
Many women are concerned there aren't any men who truly believe in
abstinence until marriage. I know there are some righteous men out there...so
where are you?
ONE MAN’S ANSWER:
“I’ve been around the block several times, been married and
divorced more than once. I had to realize there were things in my life
that needed change. My attitude toward myself was one of those things. I had to
come to the realization that what I have to give (sexually) is a gift that
should be reserved for one woman. It's not something I should pass around
to the masses. I had to take a close look at my direction and what God has
ordained for my life.
God will forgive me [for fornicating], there is no question
about that. But, why should I push the envelope? I would rather work hard to
please Him, than to play hard and consistently ask for His forgiveness in the
same area over and over again.
Gentlemen it's a choice. A choice for anyone who decides to
pursue excellence in Christ. I don't condemn anyone for choosing otherwise,
it's just where I am. Not to say I am any better than anyone else. It's a
choice I've made and I am very comfortable with it.”
