Here's a recent Man Myth I put out on our Instagram:
"You can look as long as you don't touch."
This is what I grew up believing. This is what many of us have been taught. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but someone needs to hear it🤦🏽♂️:
I had the worst wandering eyes👀. So much so that while on one of my first dates with my current wife, I was caught checking out the waitress. Of course, I denied it!👌 But apparently I didn't even try to hide it. And how could I? I was a young 20-year-old dude in the Marine Corps. I was stationed ON THE BEACH in beautiful Southern California. Plus, every man I ever looked up to told me that I was supposed to check women out.
The Truth About This Man-Myth
Even looking at a woman with wrong intentions is a barrier to intimacy between us and God. We can't afford to sell out to cheap misrepresentations of the masculine heart. We have been ushered into a heart-to-heart relationship with the Father! It is from that place that we learn our identities as co-heirs with Christ (see Romans 8:17). This is why there is so much emphasis on the INTENT of our hearts. You can read the rest of this blog HERE.
