God will not take the burden from off your shoulders, men. He’s only going to strengthen your back, widen your shoulders, and steady your footing. He’s not going to relieve it. The pain won’t go away. The addiction won’t solve the pain. And you have to confess it and...

Understand that when we don’t forgive, we’re really only hurting ourselves. I heard a great quote that said, “Unforgiveness is like drinking a poison and yet expecting someone else to die." In other words, this person has already hurt you, and yet you’re continuing to allow them to hurt...

The only thing that can conquer a desire within us is a stronger desire. If I desire to go surfing one morning when I wake up at 6 in the morning and it's cold outside, but my desire to stay in bed is stronger than my desire to go...

In light of the complete letdown where we see multiple people of influence, multiple people that we know love Jesus, multiple people that we know are attempting to do great things, whether they are pastors, ministers, apologists. Man, kill your sin before it kills you. Destroy your sin and...

I need to look back at all the kindnesses of God, and also my faith in what God is going to provide. I can take the counterfeit now, or I can wait for the better, which God offers. And that’s a tremendous motivation that is oftentimes overlooked. So, we...

So, what is going on behind the scenes? What’s going on in your life? Where is the emptiness coming from? Is it because you are frustrated in your marriage? Is it because you are frustrated as a single person? Is it because you are angry with God at something?...

Don’t skip past this. Settle in on this idea and let it sink down deep for a few minutes. It may be the key strategy God wants to use to set you free from your addiction to pornography. In this passage, God is urging Christians to replace sexual immorality with something...

Porn is the trading of gratitude for greed. Porn trades joy in the reality God has graced you with for greed in the counterfeit world He has not.Heath Lambert For more quotes, click here.

There’s an anger that rises up in me. And I got evangelically ticked off about the fact that I wish somebody would have taught me a long time ago the repercussions of sex and flesh and lust and vanity and pride and ego. I wish somebody would have been...

So the devil’s war in the 21st century is to not allow human to sit with himself. And this is what happened with the prodigal son who “came to himself”. The devil fears that human sits this one minute with himself. Because when human sits with himself he will...

Kill your love for sin, or sin will kill your love for God. . . If you will know the freedom of seeing God, you must also know the pain of killing sin. Garrett Kell in Pure in Heart: Sexual Sin and the Promises of God For more quotes, click here....

If you do sin, you will be tempted to lie about it. . . . We must learn to confess specific sins specifically. Don’t hover in generalities: “I’m struggling” or “I had a rough few days” or “I’ve been tempted recently.” Those are good introductions to the conversation; they’re...

The longer you wait to confess, the more likely it becomes that you never will. . . . Sin is a cancer—it must be rooted out as quickly as possible before it spreads.Garrett Kell in Pure in Heart: Sexual Sin and the Promises of God For more quotes, click here....

You see. So much of what we participate in is not true. The whole idea of love.. Have you ever heard people say—almost every song you’ve ever heard, “We fell in love.” Or “Man, it was just bigger than the both of us.. It overpowered us. It was bigger...

They say, “Yeah, I’m in love.” I go, “What do you mean? Why do you want to marry this girl?” “Well, man she’s just beautiful.” Okay. “..and I just love being around her.” Great. “We can talk and I just feel like she completes me. She just fills me....

Does any of you remember Cindy Crawford, the famous super model Cindy Crawford? I was listening to her one time, I think it was CNN or something–I don’t know where it was, I think it was in the airport. She said a statement that I thought was remarkable. She...

Young men, if you want to have a passionate love relationship with your wife, guard your eyes. Because here’s what’s going to happen. . . You fill your mind with a bunch of images with something that’s not even real. Not even those girls look like that. And then...

You live in one of the most lustful and exposed ages in history. Not because men have gotten worse, it’s just the opportunities have gotten greater. The internet, media–everything. So you’re bombarded by every sort of image and every sort of lustful thing.Paul Washer For more, see Flee Youthful Lust...

If we have no independent relationship with God, we’re going to be on spiritual life support as soon as our pastor, spiritual mentor, godly friends and role models fail to meet our expectations. It’s a question of “when,” not “if.” Walk In Integrity For more quotes, click here.

Stress, and its management, is spiritual activity. The way we are designed, the material influences the spiritual, and vice-versa. It can be no other way. Walk In Integrity For more quotes, click here.

God says that in place of immorality there should be something else, and that something else is thankfulness.Heath Lambert For more, see 20 Quotes from Finally Free (Heath Lambert).

It’s a slow slope into porn. It starts off with a little inappropriate video here, a little inappropriate TikTok there. And it grows and it grows and grows, and it’s a snowball effect, and it eventually gets to this point, this peak, where it seems impossible to fight. And...

To talk about childhood trauma, as a kid, at seven years old, I was introduced to porn. And I was at a friend’s house, a sleepover, it was late at night. And late at night, inappropriate content comes on. And so that’s when I saw it. And I was...

The antidote to the misery of self-consciousness is self-forgetfulness. To a person of faith, the essence of self-forgetfulness is God-consciousness. God is the greatest being of all time. Upon his reflection and worship, we become less bothered by ourselves and the baggage that comes with living. Walk In Integrity For...

The model of prayer and action working hand-in-hand is a model that runs throughout the Bible. The ancient Hebrews believed God was with them, but that didn't mean they didn't have to go out and fight their battles. In the story of Elijah and the famine, the prophet had...

According to Franklin, four generalizable consequences of sexual sin derived from the story of Samson are 1-) a loss of mission; 2-) a loss of common sense; 3-) a loss of fear, and 4-) a loss of the favor of God. Walk In Integrity For more, see Four Consequences Of Sexual...

Because people loved you before you were a person you have become the person you are. Love turns non-persons, animals, into moral agent persons. It’s like somehow if I could just care about my sofa enough, it would turn into a Ferari or something. It’s powerful.John Vervaeke For more, see...

That phrasing, “to be totally free,” implies a passive sort of state of freedom where lust no longer is operative. And that’s not the most helpful way, I think, to think of the question, let alone arrive at a good answer. I want to frame it actively, not passively,...

The culture tends to neglect our spiritual reality, and that is deeply problematic. But there is the opposite tendency among some people of faith to neglect our bodily reality. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says that our bodies are the temple of God, which means that we should use them to...

And ultimately, when I come down to it, not only is it that issue of the inherent dignity and value of human beings made in the image of God–not defrauding my brother and my sister–but also this idolatry of believing that it’s OK to use another human being in...

The way that porn can really get a hold of you, it thrives in the darkness, and so the more that you keep it hidden, the more that this is going to continue to be a problem for you. And so what I would say is, break the spell....

Maybe Samson thought he was immune from the consequences of his actions due to his high calling. Or maybe he failed in the endeavor to discipline his mind. In any case, he did the opposite of Joseph–rather than fleeing temptation, he actively sought it out. If Samson wasn’t exempt...

Christ is a bigger savior than I ever imagined. But you’ll never be able to rejoice in that if you don’t think you’re guilty of anything.Matt Chandler For more, see Owning Your Sin (Matt Chandler).

If you take unbelief as simply denying facts, but not as embracing Christ as profoundly satisfying to your soul, then it wouldn’t make sense. But if belief includes an effectual embrace of Christ as your deepest satisfaction, then it’s going to have a huge effect on whether you embrace...

It does not matter how you were born, it matters who you become. We cannot use our nature as an excuse for doing evil. One of the effects of knowing God is a change in our nature, a movement from light to darkness, a spiritual evolution in our thoughts,...

If you look at King David, he’s confronted by the Prophet Nathan. He falls out on his face and cries out to God for 7 days. “Lord, against you, and against you only have I sinned.” And you find his prayer of repentance in Psalm 51. So David’s focus...
