For goodness sake, if one's faith is strong why would they get aroused easily?
I deleted the picture. Hope you are happy.
Interestingly the bible does not say something around the lines of "if your faith is strong you will not feel unwanted sexual arousal".
Instead the bible gives us these verses: 1 Corinthians 6:18 Genesis 39:12 (story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife)
And also the following verse - indicating He will provide us with a way of escape and resist temptation, but never to not feel temptation itself. 1 Corinthians 10:13
I guess I also fall under the old uncle category. Haha.

The thing about fleeing sexual temptation is not to get yourself purposely aroused in the first place. I mean if you can avoid, then avoid.
The thing that always gets Christian trap and lament afterwards why I just can't stop Lust .....is the problem of self confidence of "I can handle it".
OMG. That is so HOT. How do you guys cool off? Even the beach side is hot eh? Your electricity bills surely going through the roof!
The beach? Nobody goes to the beach to cool off unless you're a crazy angmoh. If you go to the beach during the afternoon, you'll turn into baked fish from the heat of the sand and the intensity of the sun.
Yes, you're right about the electricity bill. People usually bathe more often if they don't have aircond. Or escape to shopping malls (free aircond). Or stay in the shade as much as possible. Or camp in front of a fan.
The rural folk will look for rivers to play around.
Swimming pools? Only mornings and evenings. The afternoon? Practically deserted. Unless there's a crazy angmoh. There's a reason why we call them crazy.
One of the surest way to tell if someone's a local or a tourist is to observe their behaviour in the sun. Locals avoid the sun like the plague. Foreigners relish in it.

Bro, that cloth is part of germany national outfit, if your national culture was attacked and criticized would you keep quiet about it?
what she wear with the revealing chest part, that should be between her and God not you to judge, Jesus once forgive a prostitute for sinning, and Jesus also once told Simon Peter do not call anything unclean that I've make clean.
So why judge their costume when it was their national heritage? Of coz I would say that cloth is inappropriate but that is not us to comment. By saying that Tina shouldn't wear that kind of costume, aren't you're making yourself same like those hardcore muslim?
Hebrews 12:10 (KJV) - For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Good Morning Guys. I've learned that sometimes uncomfortable challenges comes our way to shape us for our good because God Loves us.
Our Earthly Parent discipline us UP to what they know is best but our Heavenly father does this for our eternity good. And God uses People, sometimes your bosses or the people that you don't like as thorn in the flesh for that purpose.
One thing I want to make clear, God will NEVER discipline us with Car wrecks or Health sickness. Some people teaches that God allow us to experience terminal illness to chasten us. I wonder what will they say If I pray God to bestow them with car accident or terminal cancer if they believe that to be true.
Dear Friends we need to have spiritual intelligence of understanding and dividing correctly how God discipline us under the New Covenant.
Today's Text come from Hebrews 12:10. Now, some people read the last part of the verse above like this:
That we might learn to be Holy. Stop! It doesn't say that.
God chastened us for our profit because we partake in Christ's Holiness and Righteousness. Christ is our righteousness. Notice the word HIS holiness, not YOUR holiness? God changed our status from being a sinner to Righteous in Christ at the cross because we believe in Christ. God CREDITED Righteousness to our account. Always remember this covenant and not get confused with the OT way of righteousness through our actions which we are no longer under.
Another thing you need to know is that you can only partake Christ Righteousness when you empty yourself of all self righteousness through your own obedience. Some of us are still confident that we are made righteous because we obey and restrain oneself from sinning. God would not have that OT revelation live in us because it robs us his blessings and of Abraham's Blessing which God promise will come via Faith.
Anyway you may ask me, If we are already made Righteousness, why does God still chastened us or discipline us? The answer is because our actions is still be far from the expected Life of Heaven. That is why the training is needed. God does this, not to determine our status of righteousness. This disciplining is needed because we are being shaped to live eternally in Heaven.
Heaven is a place void of lust of pornography, theft, war, strife, etc. If that is how we are to live, might as well get use to it NOW. The Later you wait, the longer it'll take to get use to.
Hope with this devotion, you'll have a better perspective of eternity.
