Articles that address the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ for the glory of God and for the sake of others (II Corinthians 3:17-18).
In this post, we’re looking at whether or not it’s wrong for someone who isn’t married to feel sexually aroused. Does it mean they are lusting if they do? And what is a person who feels sexually aroused supposed to do if they have no legitimate and meaningful way of fulfilling it?
There once lived three men. They lived full lives. Born at similar times, they also died at similar times. All three believed in Jesus and attended the same church. Each claimed to have a close walk with God.
As an effort to thoughtfully engage “Is it wrong” kinds of questions instead of writing them off, I have opened an “Is it wrong…” column on the blog. Each week we’ll take a look at an issue we might wonder “is it wrong” about and unpack it. This week, we’ll look at the wedding ring.
Just as Adam and Eve, we tend to cover our shame with something we can do instead of through Christ. Following are five types of masks humanity tends to wear without even realizing it:
God doesn’t ask you to overcome sin; he asks you to trust his grace. And as you trust his grace, you overcome the evil one (1Jn. 2:13).
The problem most of us face in figuring out what to do in life and where our place is in the world is that we haven’t first understood what has been happening in life all along.
We have been invited into a movement of people coming from diverse types of backgrounds and ethnicities. We’ve been called to join a people whose hearts and generational narratives are getting completely rewritten as God unites us all as one family in Jesus Christ.
If the hope of the gospel of Jesus was merely that everything bad would be made right, it would get depressing because everything bad doesn’t necessarily get made right.

Can you imagine meeting someone for the first time standing entirely unclothed and not feeling at least self-conscious about it, if not royally embarrassed?
If you are viewing porn, and if you’re tired of it and want to be able to look people in the eyes without having anything to hide, download and install Covenant Eyes accountability software today. Let me show you how.
Does accountability work? Why is it important, if accountability actually is important? What does it look like to have healthy accountability, not flawed?
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
