A purity self-checkup!

How well are you doing in the battle for purity?  See how you go on the following questionnaire:

  1. When is the last time you masturbated?  Why?  What external circumstances led to it?  What internal attitudes led to it?
  2. Ask the same questions of yourself about pornography.
  3. What have you done in the last week that might have caused your sumo (your sex drive) to gain weight?  What is one thing you've done in the last week to starve your sumo?
  4. What is one thing you've done in the last week to reinforce a positive view of the opposite sex?
  5. How uncomfortable did you get when you read the above questions?
  6. With whom would you be comfortable to share your answers to the above questions?  When is the last time you shared those answers with that person?

I shared a list very much like this one with my life group this week.  If you couldn't answer question 6, find someone you can trust today!  Read through "Every Young Man's Battle" or "Every Man's Battle" together, and make a commitment to meet God's standards for your purity.
