Welcome back, men! We’re coming to the end of our Stormproof series. We’ve been looking at the book, “Stormproof” by Roger Frankhauser. The goal of the book is to help Christian men have sexual purity in a sex-saturated world. We’re finishing the series and at the same time we’re kicking off a new year. -- The PursueGOD Men's podcast helps guys apply God's Word to their lives to become full circle followers of Jesus. Join us for a new men's episode every other Thursday. Find resources to talk about these episodes at pursueGOD.org/men. Learn more about "full circle" Christianity through our 12-week Pursuit series.

We should recognize just how dangerous it will be if we don’t quickly put distance between us and temptation. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body [g]and in your spirit, which are God’s. 2 Timothy 2:22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. We’re not called to stand and fight. I find that so interesting. We’re told to flee. Run! This isn’t something we should be casual about. We need to put as much distance between us and the temptation as possible. Example of Joseph - Genesis 39:11-12 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Instead of fleeing, we so often dilly dally around. We play with the temptation. We ask,”How close to this thing can I get without getting burned?” Would we do that in a life or death situation? If a blazing fire was coming down the mountain on us, would we see how close we could get without getting burned, or would we put as much distance between us and the fire as possible? Part of the issue is we don’t recognize the seriousness of sin. It truly is life or death. The bible says the wages of sin is death. Now, as believers, our position before God is secure, but it can kill our intimacy. Lot’s wife - didn’t run, stopped and wanted to linger - Is that our attitude with sexual purity?
