STRATEGY FOR PURITY

(For Single Man)
1. Be wise Know what you will and wont do ahead of time. Recognize temptation before it gets too big for you to handle. Flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). 2. Dont go where you shouldnt go Are there parties you know you shouldnt attend? Are there hangouts where youll fall back into your old (bad) habits? Dont go there! Dont go where you shouldnt emotionally and physically. 3, Stay in the light If it has to be done in the dark when no one is watching, its wrong|! 4. Be able to spot sins many disguises Arm yourself with whats right so youll know wrong when it comes. Know the truth so youll call the lies for what they are. Temptations looks enticing on the outside, but one bite and you realize looks arent everything. Satan likes to wrap sin and lies into pretty packages but the consequences are more deadly than a mouthful of plastic. 5. Dont hang out with wrong people Choose Christian friends who challenge you to step your faith up a notch; not friends who drag you down. If you play in the mud with white gloves on, the gloves always get muddy, the mud never gets glovey. 6. Draw your lines carefully Draw the solid line of what you will and wont do. Talk to your now-girlfriend or your someday girlfriend about the boundaries youve set. 7. Dont let yourself get worn down Youre most vulnerable when youre tired, lonely, depressed, angry, or struggling in a relationship (Luke 4:13). Satisfy yourself with Christ, then sin will seem less attractive (John 6:35). 8. Dont believe everyones doing it Sex outside of Gods plan has consequences: sexually transmitted infections, destroyed reputations, emotional pain. Dont be deceived into believing that no one will know (Numbers 32:23). 9. Know a trap when you see one Ask a trusted, godly man (your papa, your grandpa, a family friend or youth pastor) about some regrets hes had in his relationship with girls. What have these regrets meant in his life? Together, think about some guys you know whove gone too far and the consequences that have resulted. Talk about some people you know whove made purity their goal and the blessings that have resulted in their lives.

The 5 Best Single-Parent Tips

1. Look optimistically at what God is doing in your life and in the lives of your children (Luke 12:7) Finding yourself in this situation may be a surprise to you, but it is not a surprise to Him. Be confident that God understands your situation and is always at work in your life. 2. Be conscious that your behavior influences that of your children. Avoid actions that would be embarrassing to share with your children later in life (Matthew 18:6). Children listen to every word and watch every action of their parents. There is no role model more important than that of a Mama and Papa. However, as a single parent, because you feel hurt, alone, and even rejected from time to time, you may tend to forget that you are setting examples of behavior that your children will imitate. 3. Discipline with the intent of teaching responsibility, not with the intent of punishing (Proverbs 3:12). Discipline is teaching and is never about being angry or getting even. Many single parents feel guilty that their children are in a single-parent household and, therefore, neglect discipline or teaching their children responsibility for their actions. Children need to feel secure in knowing that they are loved enough to be disciplined fairly and consistently. 4. Speak encouragingly and carefully to children so as not to exasperate them (Ephesians 6:3) and cause them to become discouraged (James 1:26). What you say to your children stays in their hearts for a lifetime. If it is harsh and demeaning, the wounds may never be healed. Your children are special treasures. Despite characteristics that may challenge you as a parent, God designed your children purposefully. Too often children become the verbal targets of anger and frustration in a single parent home. Each member of the family deserves respect at all times. 5. Break bad habits and you will reap the rewards of those choices immediately. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer (Proverbs 9:12). As a single parent, you may get stuck in a vicious cycle of impulsive actions and knee-jerk reactions that keep you and your children off guard for several years. It is not easy to find solid footing when life keeps swirling around you. But the godly counsel of many is critical.
