Imagine there was a secret room in which you could enter and no one, including God, could see, hear or know what you did within its walls. Behind the covering of these walls existed your favorite sin. You could indulge in this sin with no fear of consequence during your time there as well as once you left. Would you choose to enter this room?
The Blessing of the Thorn
I realized throughout these interactions that the church had a problem and we weren’t dealing with it. Probably, the most beneficial thing I did was to listen to these brothers and sisters in Christ that were in the struggle. Since that time in the early 90’s I have listened to hundreds of stories from Christian sex addicts. These were not short stories but long stories that in some cases took days to tell.My hope is that, as a body of believers, we might better understand this assault from the enemy and stop shooting our sexually wounded or in some cases ignoring their plight.
Blinded by the eclipse
How was this small moon able to conduct such a powerful feat? Even though it is 400 times smaller than the sun, it is 400 times closer to the earth. This fact is true about most anything in our lives. The things which we draw closest to us are the things that garnish the most attention and tend to block other more significant items.
Dealing with messy people
In November of 1999, I finally submitted to fulltime ministry for Christian men who were trapped in sexual sin. I had become aware of this affliction in the early 90’s while working in a Christ-centered inpatient psychiatric program and witnessing its devastating grip upon Christian men. I had also been involved in Christian sexual […]
Repeated burns
You see pain doesn’t produce change. It only gets our attention. The pain only informs us “Hey, what you are doing is not working. You are in rebellion to God and rebellion causes pain. The goal is not to figure out a way to avoid pain. The goal is obedience and to submit our rebellious nature to the Lord.
Approval Addiction
What motivates your works today? Is it for the affirmation, validation and approval of man or is it because of your love for Christ? You cannot do both.
Fight Club
Just as in Fight Club, sexual sin produces a double-minded person. One seeks to serve the Lord while the other rebels and wants no constraints. In the war against sexual sin, we must come together and form a Christian version of fight club.
Attack of the armyworms
Attack of the armyworms Joel 2:25 (NKJV) “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, my great army which I sent among you. “I’m sorry we have completely sold out of that pesticide.” This is not what the farmer […]
Disappointment
I look back at how quickly I forgot about the disappointment I experienced with a human that I didn’t even know and how hard it is for me to get past my perceived disappointments with God whom I do know.
