This is a strong chapter with respect to morality and church discipline. Immorality is not always the action but as Jesus said, the thought as well. It is so difficult to escape it. It's in the media, advertising and as an old friend used to say - "it's all over". Maybe since I am older but not necessarily wiser, that I feel that I can put it aside. At my age, I usually say "I'm old enough to be her father" and that becomes a mantra. Don't get me wrong, I look! We all look! But as Max Lucado said, the first one is free, the second one isn't. My prayers are for my sons who aren't "my age". I pray that they look at the opposite sex with respect and dignity that befits their name and calling - Christian.
I am so glad that we had Clay and Renna Crosse at our church this past October to give us guidelines to make our homes and our minds, HOLY.
Maybe more thoughts on this to follow.
