Wow.
Weekly I get an email with an article digest. Last week there was an article that caught my eye by the same title of this post. I’ve linked to it here.
Years ago I wrote a post titled “K-I-S-S-I-N-G” that kicked up some dust because in it and subsequent to it, I explained that in the Bible, there are no categories for “boyfriend,” “girlfriend” or “lover” and since that is true, PDA (premarital displays of affection) were prohibited.
Dr. Russell Moore in the linked article re-opens that discussion in a way that is very important. Read the article. I’d love to know what you think!
This article may be a bit too cut and dry on the subject of wrongful submission. I believe it is beyond our personal strength to “stop doing that and start doing this.” One’s submission to that which is ungodly is a sinful heart issue and like all sin needs the Holy Spirit’s conviction and cleansing. Often painful, but always rewarding.
