“As a Christian, I'm doing that as best as I can,” she added. “The heartbreaking thing to me is that we're all hopelessly deceived if we don't think that there are people within our churches, within our communities, who want to hold on to the person they love, whatever sex that may be, and hold on to their faith. It's a hard notion.”

She's right, of course. There are men in the churches who would like to run off with another woman, yet they don't. There are women who face comparable temptations. There are people who really want to steal, who really want to gossip or who are tempted to lie. I knew a Christian lady who was repeatedly tempted to go worship Krhishna (who she had served years before) yet she resisted the temptation.

Sin is pleasurable. For sexual temptations, scripture advises us to flee.
