We're now doing a series on purity at Covenant Life. In the last 3 weeks:

"God's Good Plan for Sex" considered a biblical view of God's good plan for our sexuality, and how we can flee temptation to go outside of God's boundaries.
"Resisting Lust" examined how lust deceives us and how we can learn to resist it.

"Marital Intimacy" discussed the role that intimacy in marriage plays in protecting men and women from sexual immorality, and a proper veiw of a husband's and wife's obligation to each other in marital intimacy.

For the next two weeks, the Purity series extends to cover the topics of holiness (this Sunday), and then issues related to media in our pursuit of holiness.

Writing Tip: Kitchen Timer

My friend Donald Miller shares a helpful tip for writers: get a kitchen timer. Don explains, "When I have two or three writing assignments I just make a list, then pick one, then set my little timer for an hour or twenty minutes or whatever amount of time that specific assignment will cost me. And then, while the timer is ticking away on my desk, I don't let myself do anything else....When the timer goes off, I decide whether I want to keep working on it, or move on. It's a simple tool, but it works." Read more.

God Knows What We Google

Tim Challies asks whether he's ready to address his Google search history with God. "What would I say to him if he were to ask me about the things I have gone looking for online?

Or would I have to confess that my searches point to a heart that is drawn to what is evil and perverse?" Read the post.
