I have been struggling with the sin of lust this past month…  I’ve never been so into it like I have been now. I constantly find myself thinking about it or grabbing my phone to watch it.  It’s been a struggle for me.  I don’t want to ruin my relationship with God. I’ve been praying about it and have been trying to distract myself from this sin. But it doesn’t go anything.  I’ve been constantly battling it. Advice? A: This is an area many fall into, and certian changes are needed, and spiritual growth to help conquer it. It is def sin but porn has a mind altering addiction-like issue that needs real help to conquer. So if you need further biblical counseling for that, links to counselors is provided. This tackles sexual sin in varied forms (it is good to go through all of it as the info and resources will help you in a robust way). It including info on fearing God, understanding God and sin, and provides biblical guides to conquer it all.  God bless

Q: We are homeschoolers. As a mom I’m really struggling right now. I found explicit photos on my son’s phone. When I confronted him, he immediately blamed his public school friend, saying that friend installed the images without him knowing . I’m not sure if I should believe him or if he’s just using this friend as an excuse. My son is a descent kid and It’s starting to feel like this public school friend is a bad influence on him. I’m wondering if I should cut off their contact altogether. Advice? A: It is likely he is lying and needs either to not have a phone, only a basic flip phone, and have controls in place on the computer/ any media content to limit his venturing further. You could have a police come over [with advanced discussion on what to say and things not to say (things that dont fit a moral worldview), to educate and scare him about porn and jail. And his father can also have important conversations about expectations he has of your son to live as a descent person, not ...

Unfortunately there is a large percentage of Christians who continue to fall victim to this sin with little repentance. We cannot make the assumption that a person has already made an effort to quit previously either. God commands us to be set apart from the world by turning from sin. Refusing to watch porn is a great way to set ourselves apart from the sin that is so widely accepted by the world. I don't remember the statistic, but when your read your Bible they've seen studies of depression being down and the urge to watch po*n was also down a significant amount. Fill your heart with God's Word and fleshly temptations and the devil won't want to hang around you Covenant Eyes might have good intentions, but it is also a problematic tool. God has given us freedom, shame be to those that “treat” problems by taking said freedom away. Like teaching a child not to touch things by shaming the child in public rather than explain and love. Covenant Eyes doesn’t heal porn a...

Open every link in a new window  Q:  🚨 Warning: Not everyone who claims to be saved is. Not everyone who claims to be Christian is. Scripture is clear on that.  A: This answer applies to those who are enjoying lusting entertainment in any degree as well; racy stuff, obvious sexual content, fornicating, lusting, having inappropriate sexual thoughts, and even porn addiction... If we arent daily fighting and conquering sin, we arent growing nor walking with Christ, or not rightly.   If a sin controls us and we have not conquered it but embraced it... something is very wrong.  Galatians 5:16-26; So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. It usually means they not saved o...

Dealing with & Defeating the sin of Porn Porn is not reality. It's sinful fantasy. It is called an addiction; bit it is a sin that chains and controls you and warps reality.  Tip: Guard yourself from discontentment and grow stronger in the Fruit of self control . Once you kill and conquer a sin, there's 0 temptation for you there anymore.  People fall into sins by not being in the Word, reading Scripture DAILY, and seeking counsel from God from Scripture and mature godly believers in our church. God is the source & authority & guide over our faith and daily living... and we find it in Scripture. We must stay close to the Lord and the Bible is the only way. We cannot neglect be...
