Undefiled

31. Healing From a Perverted History - Undefiled Book Chapter 13 Review by David Grams

In this episode, David Grams address those who need answers for their marriage, even though they may feel like they're relationship is one-sided -- that they're doing all the giving and their spouse is only taking. Is there still hope in a one-sided relationship? Can God still use a marriage that's broken or struggling? Absolutely! Listen to this episode to learn why and how!

This episode isn't what you typically hear when it comes to relationship advice, but it's deeply biblical. In this episode, David Grams invites the dating or married person to ask themselves why they should choose to stay devoted to a person. It isn't ultimately about your partner, your kids, your reputation, or anything similar. It's more about the call of God on your life. If you don't know it, you'll have problems in the future!

In this episode, learn that when Jesus told us to love each other like He loved us, He was implying that we'd be able to do so, by the power of the Spirit living in us. It's time to start believing what the Bible says about us! Also, what must someone do in a relationship where there's little or no compatibility? Answer this: "When Jesus came into the world, were He and the world compatible? And yet, didn't the relationship work out ok?"

In this episode, David Grams addresses the subject of lust, as to redefine it biblically. Lust, in the original Greek, means "covetousness." To covet someone who is not your spouse...that's lust. However, because it's common for religious folk to condemn sexuality in general, it's also common for people to associate their sexuality with lust, which is only destructive. Recognizing beauty in people is not sin. Purity is not frantically turning away from what you fear will tempt you. Purity is seeing/looking boldly with the eyes of God. This episode will help fortify your heart with the insight you need to walk confidently in sexual purity that's biblical, but not religious or legalistic!
