Nancy Leigh DeMoss: This may sound a little blunt, but it’s true. I’ll never become so “spiritual” that I’ll be immune to sexual sin. The same is true for you.
I’ve watched many, many people get trapped in sexual sin. That’s why I’ve chosen to establish some boundaries in my life to help guard my heart. For example, if I’m meeting alone with a married man, we make sure to leave the door cracked. I don’t travel or have meals alone with married men. And if I send a personal email to a man, I make sure to copy his wife.
Now that may sound a bit extreme to you, but those habits form a guardrail to keep me from getting too close to the edge of temptation. The apostle Paul tells us to “make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”
Are there any boundaries you need to put in place to help protect you from sin?
