SUCCESS How do you communicate sexual temptations at home? How do you start the conversation? As parents, it probably is a very difficult subject to bring up. And possibly, we struggle with sexual temptations ourselves that talking about it to our kids seems hypocritical. Nonetheless, this is a serious issue we can’t afford to avoid. Proverbs describes falling into an adulterous relationship as something that leads to death. It is a serious matter, an irreversible matter, a matter that none who go to her return or attain paths of life. The narrative our world gives today is radically different. The world thinks that sex outside marriage is okay; that everybody does it and everybody needs it. That, sex outside marriage, will not break you, or ruin you. Moreover, it romanticizes the idea of adultery. Watch any blockbuster movie and you will see leading men and women go into extra-marital affairs as if it is the glory of love—not the jaws of death. When Jesus spoke about adultery in Matthew 5, he puts it this way: “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ” In a world that is twisted, and in a world where sex and porn is easily accessible, we really need to take Jesus’s word as seriously as a matter of life and death.
