My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin.
She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc.
We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!).
We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine.
She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8).
We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this.
Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47).
Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior.
A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands.
"God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us — our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31)
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

If someone argues that a former promiscuous woman is "damaged goods" and questions whether a Christian young man should marry her, remember Rahab. She was a Canaanite prostitute but became a mother in the lineage of Jesus. God redeemed her, cleansed her, and Salmon married her.

@TrumpsHurricane Get rid of the nose ring. That is a sign to employers that you’re crazy.

@ClutchPoints @mindthegamepod You mean the way you travel all the time when that should get called, like it would in the 80’s or 90’s.

"I want fans to understand that playing 82 games in the 80s & 90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. ... The way we play, the level of pace, the speed that we're playing at, it's a different game now."

@iAnonPatriot There is an epidemic of people filming themselves. I think it is a sign of mental health issue. People film themselves multiple times, then go that is the one and actual post it. This world has gone crazy.

@alestate2020 @Bulldog_Graphic Lebby coming in with all the “Showtime” stuff might be worse than Moorhead asking about ring sizes.

@CNviolations That group of men doesn’t look too diverse? They need more people of color.

@peterg11742 But they aren’t preachers so why would they preach? Now Tucker does speak of his faith, he does at least reference it and did so in his podcast with Nick. Levin is Jewish and would never preach the gospel. Nick is catholic and they don’t have preachers they have priest. He

@infolibnews @marklevinshow Carlson and Fuentes likely to have record listeners this week due to this rant.
I can say that I don't watch any of Mark, Tucker or Nick's podcasts. None of them preach the Gospel.
