I recently decided to take a year long break from dating. Every relationship ive been in i have dragged to the ground either through my addiction to porn/self-pleasing or through going too far and then falling apart. I wanted to know if you had any ideas for any studies i could do, and also how to just stick with this fast.. thanks
Every Mans Battle is a good one as well as Pure Eyes. These both would be good books to read during this time. You may want to even look into X3Groups as well.
In short, have I gone too far for God to forgive me? In other words, have I lost my salvation because I kept on sinning and repent and fallen again over and over? I grew up in a Christian family and was raised learning the bible. This fact makes me feel even worst because I am essentially intentionally and knowingly doing what I know God doesn’t want me to do. I know his warnings, and yet I kept on sinning. Until recently, I came across a sermon from a well known preacher, which says that there is point of no return – a line where God just cuts you off like Esau, who sought repentance with tears but never found it. (Hebrews 12:16-17) Since then, I felt like I have crossed that line and lost hope and peace. I am deeply troubled. But even after that, I still fall for porn. Has God given up on me? Is there still a way for me to renew my relationship with him? Am I still forgivable?
Hello, I have a question. I am currently living with my Mom right now as I just recenty moved in with her. I have had my struggles with porn and I am curently in an online recovery program. My Mom doesn’t know about this but there are times when I wonder if I should tell her since I don’t really like keeping secrets. I’m not really sure what to do about this and I wonder what an expert on porn or somebody who has dealt with others who struggle with this thinks. What do you think? What is the best thing to do? There are times when I’d like to tell her but I don’t want to be met with any harsh criticism. Anyways I’ll wait for your answer. Thanks – Tom.
Tom,
Really this is something that you have to feel is the right thing to do with your mother. If it was me I would tell her because it seems like it is eating away at you and this could help. It could also help as well with accountability. Her knowing could help to prevent you from looking at it while you are in her house.
