  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Since before I became a Christian, I was watching pornography and masturbating. After I became a Christian, I found porn hard to quit but I eventually did it. In 2013, I didn't intentionally look at any porn whatsoever. But recently, I've notice an increase in my urges and I've Googled some stuff that wasn't quite porn, but it was close. I am so ashamed of myself and I know God has forgiven me but I can't forgive myself. I never have forgiven myself on this subject. I don't know where to turn. Any advice and/or prayers are greatly appreciated.

Also, I want to add that a lot of this is not my urge for simple pleasure, it's my curiosity. Things I want to let my mind explore. I mean, I don't WANT it...I'm sure a lot of you know how I feel so please, any advice at all would be helpful.

Emmanuel the link would be helpful.

As far as the OP, do remember, that Guilt is from the Devil. To take out sin is a lifelong journey and will never end, but I do believe this is one we can stop. I find it helpful to get with a group of guys going through the same thing. As well as, geting some kind of internet blocker.

xxxchurch.com can be very helpful.
