My Plug for a Great Book
If you haven't read Josh's October 20th Post about the Book Not Even A Hint by Josh Harris, you should. There's a great quote there!

Let me take time to promote this book! It's an awesome book. The subtitle of the book is Guarding Your Heart Against Lust. Josh Harris is very honest about his own struggles and gives practical applications in the book. He speaks to girls and guys since sin is a human problem and not gender specific. He talks about pursuing holiness, gives good ways girls and guys can help each other out in this, and gives practical advice on how to implicate a plan of guarding your heart. If you are not a reader, that's ok, b/c it's a short book and its easy reading.

Here's one admonition that Josh Harris gives about male/female relationships that kind of goes with my October 14th post "Going to the Chapel..."

We are called to give, to love, and to care for one another. The opposite sex shouldn't be viewed as a bunch of potential partners--they are men and women created in God's image, whom Christ died to save. They're family! We are given not only the responsibility but also the amazing privilege of looking out for each other--even fighting and sacrificing for each other. This is what true love is all about. I John 3:16 says, 'This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.'

Can you imagine the righteousness that could be born if we're willing to lay down our lives for each other? Can you picture the glory we'll bring God as we stop seducing and using each other and begin guarding and protecting?
