You remember thinking girls had cooties as little kids? You got older and those little innocent girls grew up and they started to look pretty dang good. You'd see them walking down the hall way and you would scope them out. Your mind began to wonder about the female body. Suddenly one day your on the internet and you see that pop up screen, you get the dirty email, or your on a sports trip with the guys and someone pulls out a Playboy, Hustler, or Penthouse. I know a lot of you are starting to squirm in your seats. You look at those nasty images. You know that it's wrong but you have all these raging hormones. You don't know how to release all this sexual frustration. You begin to experiment with masturbation and as you get deeper and deeper into the sin, the soft porn becomes hardcore porn. What used to turn you on doesn't anymore. You have a relationship with God, but there's something there holding you back. You know you have this sin, but the world tells you that you're a male and it's natural for you to masturbate or lust over a women. The devil tells you to go ahead and masturbate because you've already committed the sin in your mind. You go back to youth camp year after year...you go to the alter Sunday after Sunday...you pray everyday to take the guilt and shame away...you want to fight it and you want to do it on your own because your too prideful to admit you have a serious sin problem. Let's face it guys, we all have had one or more of these things happen to us. The fact is, it is destroying our nation. It's destroying the man that God created us to be. It's ruining our relationship with God. It says in the Bible not even to have a hint of sexual immorality in our lives. It talks about sexual immortality in almost every book in the New Testament. Guys, this is a battle, and I hope your willing to fight against it, and that's what Pure Heart Ministries has done for me. I know it's wrong and I tried for years to quit on my own. It got to the point where I didn't need to look at a nudey magazine to look at a fine girl and think lustfully about her. It takes over your mind like a drug, and this ministry helps you fight against it. It gives you someone to help you keep yourself accountable. Don't kid yourselves guys, you can't beat it on your own, when you've been doing it for such a long time. You need help, and don't waste time. God is there and he loves you and he wants you to have a pure heart. Remember it takes 20 seconds to look at a Playboy, but it takes 20 years to get rid of that image. |
