Be Guarded, Guided and Governed

"If the Scripture teaches that truly knowing God - knowing Christ - guards and guides and governs our sexuality in purity and love, then we may be sure that a pastor, or anyone else, whose sexuality is not governed and guarded and guided in purity and love does not know God - at least not as he ought."

Commitment & Continence

"God created human beings in his image - "male and female he created them" (Gen 1:27) - with capacities for intense sexual pleasure and with a calling to commitment in marriage and continence in singleness."

Musings on Atheism

"My conclusion is that, contrary to popular belief, atheism is not primarily an intellectual revolt; it is a moral revolt. Atheists don't find God invisible so much as objectionable. They aren't adjusting their desires to the truth, but rather the truth to fit their desires."

The Manipulation of the Media

"Today's media, especially television, seeks to define reality for us. It wants to tell us how to think about sex, about marriage, about our desires, about sin. The danger of not bringing God's standards to bear in what you watch isn't only that you might see a naked body, but that the values of a sinful world will shape what you're living for."
