Albert Einstein once said ‘Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts”.

We have heard that the “Eyes are the gateway to the soul’. I sometimes believe and marvel at how so very easily the eyes can drag us down a path, our heart and soul never truly desired to go. Now you can argue that if you actually went down that...

This past winter in NYC we were blanketed with almost a foot and a half of snow. My daughter and I went out to play in the easily pack able snow. It was pristeen white. Beautiful, not a blemish, not walked upon (and thankfully no yellow snow). We began to make huge snow balls and throw them around.

We found a spot by the curb where snow began...

Read anything in Leviticus. Preferably Leviticus 14 for reference before reading this article

OK, so you've done the deed.  Maybe Internet, maybe you have your secret stash of DVDs (or you’re a lot older and still own the... gulp VHS) Now what? Most of us know exactly what’s running through our minds. "Again! I did it, AGAIN"! So now what do...

Every read the scripture in Romans chapter 8 that said we are “more then conquerors “. Now think about that and wrap your tiny little brain around it. “More then conquerors”. Because being a conqueror isn’t enough? Why would I need to be more then a conqueror? Isn’t being a conquerors enough in itself? Apparently not.

See as men we can conquer...

There are many things pornography promises. Pornography can promise a temporary satisfaction. Pornography can promise fantasy. Pornography can even promise an escape from realism. It can promise for that one very moment you can leave all your cares behind, and concentrate on that one distraction. The kids screaming? Gone! The wife nagging?...

There are these misconceptions that age, entering into marriage, children are all going to at some point be the antidotes that cure our sexual perversions. We say things like “once I can have sex”, or “once I have my first kid”, even “once I hit this age” I’m done.

What ends up happening is we set up benchmarks to “quit”, but we don’t prepare...

I remember being shy as a teenager. I mean really shy. I was outgoing and funny, and usually the loudest person in the room. However when it came to “making a move” I would get petrified. I would break out in cold sweats; it was a horrible sight to behold.

I went on a lot of dates, had sex and messed around with girls (before I knew it as sin)...

How much more can we possibly be oversexed as a society? Recently Jack in the Box did a commercial with about a billion sexual references and risqué themes. Paris Hilton did a tantalizing commercial a couple years back, geez even Buick threw in the “when you turn your car on, does it do the same for you?” lines in their product.
Seriously? Is it...

People who I mentor through the process of overcoming porn often ask me “how did you beat it?”.  I’m very honest with people (especially men) and very transparent. I tell them the only real why I began to win was to be honest with my wife. Now there surface honesty, and BRUTAL honesty. I remember being a newlywed, new in ministry as a pastor...
