“I’m alright as long as we don’t go as far as the 5th base”
“We’re okay, it’s not as if we’re having sex”
“But there’s nothing wrong with kissing!”
There are so many things that we make justifications for because we think “We’re not doing anything wrong” I want to debunk that mindset. Is it just about crossing “The line”?
The mindset of “We’re not doing anything wrong” is already compromise in one of its subtlest forms.
Oftentimes we just want to “Avoid crossing the line” As long as we’re on the “right” side, we’re safe. As long as we’re on the “good” side, we can keep doing what we want. But is it really about “the line”?
We focus on “the line” too much
What does the Bible say about “the line”? Nothing.
“The line” doesn’t exist in the Bible. Why? Because it is something made up by our human minds and standards and our God doesn’t put too much emphasis on standards that we make. He emphasizes on His standards. And what does His standards say?
2 Timothy 2:22
“Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
FLEE IT! And when you are fleeing, you don’t look back! YOU DON’T FOCUS ON THE LINE! You run away when you see or feel that what you’re going towards to is already not something that is absolutely good!
And when you flee, don’t flee to nowhere. You MUST have a direction! If you flee to anywhere, chances are you’d end up on the same spot – going in circles. Your direction must be to pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
It’s not about “the line” it’s about doing everything you can in order for you to pursue the heart of God. You get to know His heart through the Bible. Read the Bible. Pray. It’s so cliché, I know. But I’m telling you the truth – more truth than you’ll ever know.


Is it about the line

Amen, to this Sean.
Its sad to see that a lot of young people today don’t even take a second-thought when it comes to lust and the physical-ness of their relationships. It’s as if compromising is part of their nature already.
As Christians, it is my prayer that we won’t have a HINT of immorility in us, our hearts and our minds (thats a Verse in the Bible.. i just forgot where it is excatly. ._. haha sorry)
and if ever some of us do fall victim to compromising, I pray that it’ll bother us so bad that it would drive us to our knees and ask for forgiveness from our Father.
good work ulit. Sean! WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN MCDO KANINA? hahah :p joke lang. Peace. 🙂

Thanks for dropping by Bettina!!!
“But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people” Ephesians 5:3 – I have it posted on my laptop table XD
True I hope it will drive us to know how sinful we are and how much we need the gospel each and every day.

Good job, Kuya Sean! Need this info for the singles in my group. Thanks!
Hey Ashley 🙂
It's my pleasure and privilege to share to you 🙂
Praise God 🙂 Go ahead and share it for God
it's so nice to read this things…thank you so much..
Good post. Very good.
many more thanks for giving a true picture on sex and the fact that God is saving sex from lust. now i know the difference between the two. still i am pulled by the instincts and am not able to love my wife for she lacks the beauty that i desired rather deserved. i dont hate her any way. so far as sex is concerned, its happening so mechanically for me – with the only point of pleasing her. i am not pleased perfectly in the process. as a result, it drove me to other places. i am caught up in the clutches of delusion. can i have another hearty girl – without hurting my wife – and to get pleasure for myself? somewhere in my conscience, i hear a ‘no’. but i want to make things clear. is it a sin, if i go for another woman, without losing my wife?
Simply put, sex with a person who is not your wife is adultery. Adultery is a sin. Don’t do it. It is wrong.
I like it! well said Sean
