Porn and Masturbation
These might be some words you won’t hear in church. Good thing we are not in church!
Masturbation is a sign of passive manhood. In masturbation, a guy looks at porn materials and naked girls who have no idea being watched. There is no interaction. It is a one-way thing. It is passive and damaging to a man.
A man lays down his true intentions, respects a girl, courts, and wins her heart. Masturbation is never part of the process of winning a girl’s heart.
Looking at porn is an act of cowardness. He tries to take advantage of a girl who doesn’t respond to him. He loves the feeling of control, but in reality, he is being controlled and controlled by pictures, by images, by demons of lust.
James 1:14-15
but each one is tempted when, by his evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
So how do we break this sin of lust?
1. Acknowledge that you need help. Talk to someone about your struggle/addiction. Ask Jesus to cleanse you of your sin. He is ready to forgive you and give you a fresh start.
2. Repent. Repentance means no turning back. Remove objects that would trigger your mind to lust. Ask Jesus to renew your mind. Read the Bible and cleanse your mind with the WORD.
3. Join a small group in your church. Find trusted friends and start or join a bible study group/ support group to help you overcome your struggle. Never be afraid to disclose. It is the only way to freedom.
