Yep.

Here we are with an excerpt from Chapter 2: "Sex: In and Out of Purpose". Each chapter opens up with a poem, or a prose, or a comment from someone I know...or letter from a xxxchurch.com reader. To be honest, when you get the book (and you are going to get the book, right?!?), you'll see that I really could've just enclosed the "praise...

Yeah...

Sometimes Craig gives us homework. It trips me out too (LOL). It seems that for the next several weeks, I will be posting excerpts from chapters of my new book, my "second born": "Pure Heart: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Integrity".

If there's anyone who's been reading these for awhile, then you know that title is soooooooooooo not my...

Pure Heart: A Women's Guide to Sexual Integrity

Chapter 6 - Confusion

"The Misuse of Sex"

About three years before I penned Inside of Me, God gave me  a term to describe the kind of lifestyle I was engaging in when it came to my sexuality. It’s “sexual misuse.” My original definition was “sex outside of God’s intention.” However, I remember doing...

"The purity of silver and gold is tested by putting them in the fire; the purity of human hearts is tested by giving them a little fame."---Proverbs 27:21 (Message)

I know it's not the usual for me (LOL), but I won't be before you (too) long. Two links speak for themselves and the other, well, it's nowhere near appropriate to post on the...

"Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband."---I Corinthians 7:2-3 (NKJV)
 
"A deceitful peace is more hurtful than open war."---Unknown
 
 
Oh, if I could remember your last...

Note: This was a note that I penned for a blog that I do for single women in preparation for marital covenant. I think some of you might appreciate a few things that I discovered. Please know that you all remain in my prayers...as we all continue this quest towards holistic purity. SRW

“Then the Lord God said, ‘It’s not good that man should...

“Marriage is honorable in every respect; and, in particular, sex within marriage is pure. But God will indeed punish fornicators and adulterers.”---Hebrews 13:4 (JNTP)

“Sex without love is violence.”---Eric Jerome Dickey


Head’s up: Certainly, this is more of a “preventative measure message” for those who are single (and no matter what, you...

OK...

Sometimes I run across a Scripture that I know I should probably blog on...but I end up, what I call, "bookmarking it" until I can figure out totally why.

Today, I got my "why".

You know, Chris Rock can be...let's say, "open" with his dialogue (LOL) and so while I will refrain from quoting him verbatim, I do recall him once saying that...

Yeah. Well...

Every once in awhile, I'll come across something that's so ridiculous that I want to comment on it (mostly because it's not always packaged as ridiculous and people will actually be tempted to fall for it). Today is one of those times. I won't be mentioning the name of the book or the author (cause I don't want to help his book...

“Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, ‘We^...
