Shellie R. Warren
Shellie R. Warren is into all things covenant. Her first love of writing has afforded her the opportunity to write for well over 50 publications including the recent book release, "Purity's Big Payoff/Premarital Sex Is a Big Rip-off". Shellie has authored two published books: "Inside of Me: Lessons of Lust, Love and Redemption" ('04) and "Pure Heart: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Integrity" ('10). She is also the teen mom director for the local chapter of a national non-profit in Nashville, a premarital/marriage counselor and a doula. Shellie also has an online ministry. http://onfirefastmovement.blogspot.com/ is for single women who desire to be prepared for marital covenant. She recently developed a T-shirt line (PerezLinen) centering around these themes and is in the process of premiering "Reluctant Celebrities"---a (somewhat) atypical platform for modern-day discipleship.

So...
Here's a pretty icky thought but a HUGE light bulb moment. A couple of nights ago, I was thinking about sex, fornication, abstinence and the consequences that come with it all as it relates to single living. I mean, while I know that going without is what God requires of me (Ephesians 5:3), oftentimes my inquisitive mind wants reasons other than "because it's for married folks" or...
OK,
Can I just vent for a moment or two? (Thanks)
I've been pretty open with you guys (and gals) about the fact that I myself am a porn addict in recovery, right? And while my personal "porn of choice" wasn't Internet pornography (although I did tend to download erotica from time to time), I must admit that I find it rather interesting and ironic that now that I blog for a porn ministry, I...
I have absolutely no excuse for what I did. Last night, as I was channel surfing, I found myself riding the disturbingly intriguing reality series finale wave of VH-1’s “Rock of Love 2”. Yes, yes, feel free to be totally disappointed in me because without a doubt that 1 ½ hours of time that I will never get back proved the point that Richard P. Adler once made: “All television is...
“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.â€---Ephesians 3:20 (Message)
“The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its...
Q: I am scared to post here. I am like a girl into porn okay? Well, no not okay but well, you know. So I just read stories about incest and little kids. I don't know why. Well I do but I don't if you know what I mean. I am so scared. I told my pastor and he said my old nature would never be sorry and my new person in Christ would always be sorry. Anyway, I feel so bad and I can't quit and I...
Q: Hello. I found out about xxxchurch a few months ago and I am really excited about the ministry you guys are doing. I am a fairly new Christian (3 years now). I started looking at pornography when I was 12 and I am now 24. I am trying to stop, but I can't. I am in school and I can't afford the purity program or any counseling. I know that if I don't break this it is going to tear...
A couple of nights ago, I was talking to a male friend of mine. (Again single ladies, get some platonic male friends because they are lifesavers---and givers!) Anyway, we were talking about a recent event that we both attended where, for the first time since I can remember, I basically stayed up on the wall and watched the room move before me. It’s amazing how loud sounds, words,...
OK,
I'm starting to think that I need to get on the public relations team for this guy because since getting his book into my little hands, I have been telling the world (well, OK, anyone who will listen) that they need to make it a very top priority to get the book.
The book? "Sacred Sex". The author? Tim Alan Gardner.
Now, let me just say on the front end that the book is...
“Talk to Wisdom as to a sister.
Treat Insight as your companion.
They'll be with you to fend off the Temptress—
that smooth-talking, honey-tongued Seductress…
Soon she has him eating out of her hand,
bewitched by her honeyed speech.
Before you know it, he's trotting behind her,
like a calf led to the butcher shop,
Like a stag lured into ambush
...
Q: I don't know if you are the one I should contact but I went on xxx looking for answers and picked a name...My name is Rachel, I am a mother of 3 boys. My oldest is 14, he has been looking at porn. We have xxx software but he forgot. I got the report. I thought I might throw up. This was yesterday. He didn't deny it. I am so angry. Furious. I want to scream and cry. I feel so helpless. There...
