Sex, Lust, and Adultery – A Brief Exposé of Conservative Misconceptions

I sometimes wonder about the conservative Christian response to sexual desire. For one, a lot of them seem to consider any sexual desire outside of marriage to be lust.

A Lost Man at Night

My wife woke me in the dead of night with those words every man fears. “Matt, I think I hear a burglar downstairs.” I opened my dry mouth just enough to whisper, “Stop thinking about it, then.” Jenny slapped my arm. “Wake up! You’ve got to go check it out or I’ll never get back [...]

Leaving Home

It had to happen someday. The strange thing is, I’ve always wanted it to happen, but once it becomes reality, I’m totally not ready.
