Paul writes to Timothy, his spiritual son and a young overseer in Ephesus. In 1 Timothy 4:12, he exhorted Timothy, “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers...”—meaning that though Timothy is young, he is still to lead with boldness. But in...
Let us begin with a critical fact: nowhere in Scripture is the physical act of masturbation specifically named or directly condemned. It is not found among the explicit sexual sins listed in the law, nor in the New Testament epistles. But that does not mean the...
