(chorus) Girl, they say that it takes two To make a thing go right (for love) But girl, we gotta remember There's another in our lives (in God we trust) We must add up the cost Before indulging in the heat (for now) And trust that God will give us Something better if we wait That's why we got to say... (chorus) 1-900-LOVE, S-E-X is on the TV Too much skin is in your vision You gotta make the right decision God has set His standard higher Purity is His desire, I'm gonna choose to wait I don't want it, I don't want it I don't want your sex for now Yo, s-e-x is a test when I'm pressed So back off with less of that zest Impress this brother with a life of virtue The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you Safe is the way they say to play But then again safe ain't safe at all today So just wait for the mate that's straight from God Don't give it up 'til you tie the knot I don't want it, I don't want it, want it I don't want it, your sex for now I don't want it, I don't want it, want it I don't want it, I don't want your sex I don't want your sex for now Not until we take the vows Even if they dog me out I don't want your sex (4x) Post Reply

View Profile History	Purity maintenance Posted : 15 Jan, 2011 09:40 AM There are so many ways to protect ones purity.Avoiding T.V.,movies,books,magazines,pictures which you already know could encourage your mind to go the wrong way.Avoid dressing in a way that could make some one fall.(dress modestly).Even avoiding people who make off-color remarks,or people you know are not committed to live a life of purity as you are.(Don't make them your best friends).We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit,He is better than a list of things to avoid.Read God's word,it cleanses your heart and mind.Quickly kick out wrong thoughts when they first come at you,don't entertain them(they could get harder to get rid of.)Keep ourselves busy doing what is right.(Idle hands are the Devil's workshop.)Think of the men and women as our Brothers and sisters,especially those in the faith.Then you won't want to hurt them,or take advantage of them...Love the Lord your God with all your heart,soul and mind....Love your neighbor as you love yourself....Ask God to help you then listen to His warnings,and leadings......

You have be especially discerning and be willing to go the extra mile to protect yourself. There was a while that I had set up another computer just to filter ads and block myself from going to particular sites; nowadays, filtering has improved so that I don't need a separate machine, but even the ads on Facebook can tempt you. You do have to really get down into yourself to see why you do things and fight lust at a very specific level with specific prayers. For me, lust always brings energy. If I'm tired, I have to be on guard. Certain foods make self-control more difficult, so you've got to watch what you eat. You can't let your mind wander and if it does, you have issue a course correction. Flood your mind with Scripture; busy your mind with creative tasks; DO something besides paying attention to the stray thought and its power will fade. Sometimes, all you can do is collapse at the feet of Christ and pray that He carry you, because you have no strength to resist. It's serious business. You've got to be willing to cut off your left arm if it causes you to sin (metaphorically). Post Reply
