What Makes Your Sexual Desire Sinful

-
Though we have been set free from the power of sin, we are still very much capable of committing sin. Sexual sin is one of the worst sin ever, even the bible describes it as worse. The bible says it is a sin committed to oneself, and exclusively at length warned us against sexual immorality (1Corinthians 6:18). Having sexual desires is in fact natural, and it has been put there in the first place by God (Genesis 2:18). What makes it sinful is what we choose to do about it, just as what you choose to do with a gun determines whether you are going to commit an offense or not. We ourselves know when our sexual desire becomes sin, but for the benefit of doubt, please read on.

A. Your sexual desire becomes sinful when you fantasize having sex already. For instance, you see a guy or a lady whether attractive or not, and you go ahead imagining that person in bed with you. Or when you begin to imagine what is underneath that person's garment for the aim of deriving pleasure. The other person may or may not be aware of your own illusion, but it is sin (Matthew 5:28).

B. You are watching a movie that is showing a sexual activity, and you are already like, "Oh my God, I wish that was me there", and then you actually go ahead to put yourself there by either masturbating, viewing porn, etc. That becomes sinful.

C. As a married person, your sexual desire becomes sin when you start to lust after someone other than your spouse. Really this is very bad, because you are putting not only yourself, but your spouse, and the other person in danger. It is called adult-e-ry (Proverbs 6:32-34) Be a wise married man or woman.

D. Though I have heard some church claim masturbation is not a sin, well, as far God is concerned, it is a sin, because it is a sexual immorality. Therefore, masturbating makes your sexual desires sinful (1Thessalonians 4:3)

E. Your sexual desire becomes sinful when you actually go get 'it' when you are not yet married. Sex outside marriage is wrong, and that is it. You may decide to argue this to justify you sinful actions, well, the Bible says we shall be judged of every secret or non secret actions (Ecclesiastes 12:14).

So long you are a Christian, and want to grow in faith, please stay away from whatever would make your sexual desires sinful (2Timothy 2:22). No other thing destroys a man than this. Now that you know what makes your sexual desires sinful, watch out for "What To Do To Prevent Sexual Sin". Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
