TOB & Racism, Kissing & Arousal, Temptation While Sleeping | ACW293

Ask Christopher West

Questions answered this episode:

• Can TOB shed any light on the sin of racism?
• Is it wrong to give a kiss if there’s even the slightest bit of arousal present as a dating couple?
• I’ve struggled with the sin of masturbation for the past 10 years. It comes and goes in seasons. Recently, I’ve experienced great temptations while I’m asleep. I awaken in the night with urges I can’t control. Do you have any advice?
