I was presented with a challenge by a reader, in response to my post Ufuomaee’s Seven Reasons To Wait, which was recently posted on The Naked Convos. They thought that, more than dos and don’ts, what’s needed is advice for singles struggling to stay chaste in a sex-crazed world. I agree, and I’ve accepted the challenge to address this issue in today’s post.

Sexual purity is a calling for all who are in Christ, whether they be married or single. It is not simply a case of abstinence until marriage, but a state of holiness unto God that is preserved throughout our walk with God.

Self control has some pretty awesome rewards. We should try it some time. Get in touch with our Higher Self.
