Why?
1. To protect yourself. God might not want you to read a certain webpage of mine.

2. Because we need to hear from God, not from a human.

You are unique and your Lord and Maker treats you as such. He personally tailors his revelation to you. I cannot do that in a webpage available for thousands to read. All I can do is plead that you seek God to do what I cannot do by personally directing you to those specific things he wants to share with you.

I have undergone more soul searching and emotional pain over writing about sexuality than any other topic. I have at times pleaded with God that I could move on to other topics that would cause me less distress and would edify me more. But this isn’t about me. It’s about trying to find God’s will and submitting to it. And it’s about those people who need guidance and godly support about dilemmas that refuse to stay buried. It’s about people who find vast quantities of worldly material but little Christian help.

Disturbed that despite all my attempts to write with godly restraint I might still have gone over the edge, I sought the opinion of a woman whom I believe is sensitive to the Lord's heart. As she read one of my pages she saw in her mind’s eye my hands cupped together in front of me. Fluffy cotton wool filled my hands. What she saw was symbolic and so out of proportion, but snuggled within that cozy nest sat a woman. My hands were positioned so that from that place of comfort and security she could safely view new wonders and solutions to mysteries that had previously bewildered her. That image thrilled me because this is the tenderness with which I long to treat you while acting as your servant.

I think that most readers will feel I deal with these matters delicately. As individuals, however, we differ greatly in our sensitivities. My own peculiar mix of strengths and weaknesses means I can write these pages in a detached way and (usually) be less affected than if an average-looking woman walked past me. But you could be different. You might be one of those who feel uncomfortable about some of these writings; one for whom the little detail I give is too much.

So I urge you to pray about which, if any, pages you should read. Your purity is one of God’s magnificent goals for your life and I would be devastated if, instead of contributing to this, I in any way detracted from the beautiful things God longs to do in you. Some pages are particularly unsuited to singles.

Many people value what I’ve written on these topics. This, I think, is God kindly responding to how much my longing to serve you and my Lord has cost me emotionally in writing these pages. But what is a little pain, relative to the privilege of serving the Lord of all, and helping someone for whom he gave his all? Above all, however, if God is in anything I have written on this topic, it is confirmation of the scriptural principle that he delights in using the weak and ignorant to confound the capable and wise (1 Corinthians 1:27-29). Nevertheless, some people finding it helpful doesn’t mean you will, so here’s a suggested prayer:

Loving Lord,
Like no one else, you have my best interests at heart. You know my hurts, my needs, what will most comfort and encourage me, and the next step you want me to take in becoming more Christlike. So I don’t want just to read a webpage, I want to hear from you. And thank you that you want to speak to me. Cause me to choose those webpages – and only those pages – that will most help me hear what you want to say to me right now.
