Being a believer doesn’t disqualify us from sexual temptation and we would be naïve to think that sexual immorality isn’t running rampant inside our church families. It’s a sin that is swept under the rug and hardly ever talked about. If you have grown tired of the struggle, tired of repeatedly falling for the same trap, tired of the guilt and shame, tired of the bondage to sin, tired of being consumed by sensual thoughts, tired of the pressure it puts on your marriage or the pressure it puts on your ability to find a wife, come discover that there is a way out. I was stuck in sexual addiction and shame. But God’s abundant grace freed me. Chains may become too heavy to carry, but they are never too heavy to be broken. Jesus is the Breaker of chains, and He never refuses to break the chains of those who ask Him.
