    Very bad situation!

    It is never too late... Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore no condemnation unto them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ hath made me from from the law of sin and death. You cannot lose salvation. If...

    my story (in short)

    There is a much greater price to pay if you don't repent. So repenting to God is the way to go :) God loves you and wants you to come into His arms and He will show you the way, and give you peace beyond understanding! :-D --Elijah--

    my story (in short)

    I know what you mean when you cut it down to the nitty gritty, technically you are married... but the thing is though it looks and sounds and performs like a marriage, you still are not marrie,d and you're right that God see's it as wrong as He does any kind of adultery/sexual immorality. I...

    Lust & Masturbation

    I think that finding the root of it all is important. I think that masturbation is a big thing because it is a sin. Self-gratification is not what God invented our sex organs for. He intended us to give our love away to our husband/wife by giving them our bodies and letting them be satisfied...

    Lust & Masturbation

    Masturbation takes away from your time with God. It halts how far you go to seek satisfaction in Christ and His love by providing a cheap alternative - self-stimulation. Masturbation is a BIG thing. I used to think about how I would touch later in the day, almost as a goal to attain...

    Lust & Masturbation

    I think it is a thing in your past that has maybe triggered you to be attracted to eating a lot. What about thinking back in your past, finding out what it is, and forgiving someone if they offended you? I know I have had to do a lot of this recently, and the results is so FREEING! I do...

    Struggle w/Sex- Need Advice Please!

    I think it is wrong. You and your future wife must repent of that, for it is not yet time for you to engage in sex. If it was, you would already be married. Look at 1 Corinthians 7:2... Paul says "... since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her...

    Big problem....

    Were you molested as a child, or raped in any way that you can recollect? When dealing with issues like these, we must deal with the root of the issue, not the issue itself. It is like a plant - if it is not uprooted, and we keep chopping off bits of the tops, it will keep growing back...

    Sexually abused

    I seriously think that could have a BIG part of it. I was exposed to pornography when I was 4 or 5 when someone in my house was watching it. I was hooked from them until I was 21. (Heehe I'm only 22, but I'm free!!! Been free for 18 months!!!) But one thing to consider is... did you...

    Wandering eyes, wandering thoughts... UGH!

    Marrige doesn't solve everything. There are many reported cases when someone was a porn/masturbation addict, then soon got married and the problem with porn went away... for a little while, maybe a year or so, yet it crept back in and destroyed their marriage. Just like Satan to throw in a...

    Why? Please....Help Me.

    >>im sorry but i just do not think masterbating over porn when your single is too much of a big deal Okay stop right there. This is LUDACRIS for this to be posted on a Christian website. Does God condone sin? Does Jesus say anywhere in His gospel, "Hey, follow after my example... but I want...

    Wandering eyes, wandering thoughts... UGH!

    I'll speak for myself on this one: I used to fantasize about women all the time, but now I don't. I'm not seeing God as a strict old man up in heaven, I'm seeing Him as a loving Father who's given me eyes and imagination to use for productive purposes, for the Kingdom of God, not sitting in...

    Wandering eyes, wandering thoughts... UGH!

    Hey guys... It seems that guys are saying "it's a'ight, it's normal, struggle hard" on this posting but... I seriously don't think God created us with this struggle. Think back to Adam when he was looking at Eve before the fall... I'm sure he wasn't all full of lustful thoughts when he...

    Why? Please....Help Me.

    Hey! One big thing I know from seeing my psychologist on issues that deal with pornography is this: forgiveness. When we don't forgive, we are held captive to whatever we don't forgive, a slave, a prisoner, and it hurts only US. It's one of Satan's biggest tools against us, and unless we...

    man :(

    man... my girlfriend and i recently mutually broke up after only 9 weeks of being together. the thing is in the relationship we had, God revealed a lot of holes in each of our lives that definitely need time for God to grow in, and we were trying it in the relationship but things weren't...
