We all struggle with context. And not just in Scripture!

Sex is fantastic in context. Sex is horribly destructive out of context.

We must not distort sex. Pornography does that because there is sex out of context. I still have to be very careful - and sometimes I am not careful to a sufficient extent. One does not have to actually look at pornography to see the wrong picture in one's mind. So the Holy Spirit and I sometimes must have a little talk.

I have previously stated that the answer for me was to appreciate women in an objective sense. I readily acknowledge the attactiveness of a woman, but I avoid, no rather I actively stand against any thought of using another woman to meet my own sexual needs. My wife is sufficient - and even more tha sufficient when my life is in balance with the Lord.

John
