This afternoon after church services, a young man in our congregation approached me sheepishly and confessed that he had a problem.
I already suspected what it was before he even told me. You wouldn't believe how rampant biological urges are these days.
The young man told me he struggles nightly with solitary temptations of the flesh, and he understands that tying of his hands is the only way to physically resist, but he only ever gets as far as tying one hand to the bed post and is then unable to tie the other.
"It's not enough to just tie your dominate hand?" I asked, bewildered.
"No," he told me, "I need them both tied at the same time and I don't know how to do that."
It turns out it's not freakish enough that he can use his left hand as well as his right to torture his own body, but he can use both hands at the same time!
I was flabbergasted and simply took a large step back from him.
He's embarrassed to ask his father to tie him to the bed every night, and he is unable to tie more than one of his hands by himself.
I told him I would have to think and pray on the matter before I came up with a solution.
I have been thinking all afternoon and I can't even comprehend how it could be physically possible for somebody to use both hands for the solitary sin at the same time, let alone how he's going to get tied up in bed every night unless he mans up enough to have his dad do it
Is it feasible that a True Christian pastor could go by his house each evening and tie the young man to his bed?
Or would something like Chinese handcuffs be a more practical solution?
I told him I would call him tomorrow with some answers, if I have any.
