    I have not defeated lustful addictions

    I am currently in Christian counseling for pornography addiction. I am trying to listen and read more biblical things. I cannot defeat this addiction or habit. I feel as if I just don't care enough to defeat it, yet I am regretful after the deed has been done. I don't understand, I don't...

    Conquering Sinful Addictions

    But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by...

    Given unto The Lord for He Has Delivered Me from Hell

    Greetings brothers and sisters, My testimony is way too long and could be considered self-aggrandizing should I spell it out word-for-word. As such, I am forgoing any full testimony at this very moment and until the Lord cleans my heart of any pride I currently harbor. Nevertheless, I felt...
