Your Purity

Staying Strong in Your Most Susceptible Places

If I were your enemy, I’d tempt you toward certain sins,
making you believe they are basically (even biologically)
unavoidable. I’d study your tendencies and proclivities till I
learned the precise conditions that make you the most likely
to indulge them. And then I’d strike right there. Again and
again. Wear you down. Because if I can’t separate you from
God forever, I can at least set you at odds with Him for the time
being.

“Don’t touch that! You don’t know where it’s been!”

I’ve said it to my three sons time and time again. Wonder
how many other little kids have heard their parents say
something similar, usually while lunging across the playground
