Looking at Life and Love through God's Eyes
Christian Life, Sex
This month on the blog, we’ve looked at the various ways men and women are different. Our bodies are different. Because of these differences, we think differently and our brains don’t function the same way. This, in turn, causes us to have different priorities. There are many differences in the ways that men and women function. What I’m Not Saying …
Christian Life, Sex
The last two weeks we’ve looked at how men and women are different both in the way their bodies function and in the way that they think. These differences in physical make up and ways of thinking cause males and females to have different priorities. Of course, these priority differences are generalities. Every time we make a statement about men …

Last week’s blog post was about how men and women are different physically. Our physical differences are not the only distinctive. We also think and feel differently. This isn’t just popular opinion. It’s science. These differences in thought and feeling are related to and caused by our physical differences. Men and women’s brains are different, which causes many of the …

Can we just be real for a minute? Men and women are different. There are distinctive things that make someone a man or a women. Some of those things you can see, some you can’t, but there is a distinction between the two. Two Lies about Gender In our world, that’s a controversial thing to say. On the one hand, …
Married Life, Sex, Single Life
Before I got married, I thought I knew it all when it came to sex. Even though I had never actually done it before Zach and I got married, I was pretty confident in my knowledge. I had read enough marriage books and dating books to think that I knew all the things I needed to know. I guess I …

Let’s be clear here: purity is not only for single people. Despite that fact, if you looked a Christian books, sermons, and other resources that talk about purity, the vast majority of them would be geared towards singles. A good chunk of them would probably be geared towards the youth group/college age crowd. When we see purity as simply …
Christian Life, Married Life, Sex, Single Life
Being pure does not mean you have to live in a bubble. Last week, my blog post was about how purity is a process, not some point you can’t cross. If that’s true, that means that even if you know things or have experienced things that maybe you shouldn’t, that doesn’t necessarily make you less pure. The Wrong Idea …

What is Christian purity? “Purity” is not a word most people use in normal conversation, even in church. However, as a single Christian (either in a youth group or young adult’s group), purity is often equated simply with sexual purity or even with virginity. You’re told that it’s of upmost importance that you remain pure for your future spouse. …
Sex, Single Life
Dear Single Friends, First off, I want you to know that I thought about you last week during Valentine’s Day. I still remember how that felt, to be single on that sappiest of all days. Everybody in person and online praising their significant other can be hard to watch when you don’t have someone to praise. It’s hard, I know. …
Married Life, Sex, Theology
In my last post, I gave some biblical evidence for why God cares so much about sex and why he makes guidelines/rules around it. Basically, it came down to two main reasons: one, sex is a powerful thing and we can easily become enslaved to it, and two, God created sex to be a part of the marriage relationship. This …
