We settle for one-night stands, fantasies and websites… is not about not sinning, that’s not the end goal, the end goal is experiencing the fullness of relationship with Him and if you are married with your spouse

All in all.
The pornography industry tactics… to attract people. When you have an addictive product The younger you can get people over the life you are going to get more sales from that person, that’s just business and its applied in this context.
In detail.
Our mission is to protect and promote biblical sexuality in the church and in our community. We primarily serve pastors, ministry leaders who are either struggling with sexual temptation, also people who are in the throes of sexual addiction
Christian or not, theist or atheist, I think we all recognize that there’s something deeply profound about sex. I really do believe that the culture itself is starting to reject the lone sexual ethic of consent…
Finally.
I don’t see scripture promising the best orgasms in married life, I see scripture promising: You will get to experience the fullness of oneness between two people in the same way that the Father and Son and Holy Spirit are three persons in one, you are now two persons in one and you get to experience God in a way that you wouldn’t otherwise.
Walk us through the process of somebody that’s realizing – my sexuality is messed up. What is the next step they can take now?
Emoji reactions from blasphemous to divine
The first step of the restoration is bringing what’s in the darkness into the light, because what happens is 2 things: The enemy immediately looses power, he always wants us in the darkness; and two: God immediately pours out a greater grace, because we are going to need it
