In "Sexual Battles: Experiencing Lasting Victory over Sexual Sin", author Seun Israel reveals his own past with these debilitating issues, and the journey he took to lasting victory. With scripture-based principles, the author focuses on providing a practical solution to sexual addictions, and a transition to a life of purity before God.

Download or read book The Expulsive Power of a New Affection written by Thomas Chalmers and published by Gideon House Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15 Those who struggle with habitual sin are keenly aware of the despair and fatigue that comes from trying harder and harder to control the desire to do what is wrong in the eyes of God. For this person, there be times of limited success in overcoming sin, but eventually he/she falls back again into unhealthy patterns. In "The Expulsive Power of a New Affection", Thomas Chalmers argues that no matter how hard we may try, we’ll never overcome habitual sin in our lives unless we switch our affections from the world to Jesus Christ. Thankfully Christ loved us first and is more than willing to set us free if we’d only realize the true Gospel power that we can all have in our lives today.

Download or read book 7 Myths about Singleness written by Sam Allberry and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If marriage shows us the shape of the gospel, singleness shows us its sufficiency. Much of what we commonly assume about singleness—that it is primarily about the absence of good things like intimacy, family, or meaningful ministry—is either flat-out untrue or, at the very least, shouldn’t be true. To be single, we often think, is to be alone and spiritually hindered. But the Bible paints a very different picture of singleness: it is a positive gift and blessing from God. This book seeks to help Christians—married and unmarried alike—value singleness as a gift from God so that we can all encourage singles to take hold of the unique opportunities their singleness affords and see their role in the flourishing of the church as a whole.

This reality can be our hope and encouragement for living with a winning strategy in our lives if we repent and accept God's grace and forgiveness in our hearts. As individuals now, in the past, and in the future, we are involved in a spiritual battle between good and evil. Satan and his band of soldiers are our enemy. Jesus is our Redeemer who fights for us and who loves us unconditionally. As we battle daily against temptations and enticements from Satan and his cohorts to commit sins, through the truth of God's Word, we can have victory in our lives. We do not have to be deceived or led astray. Understanding the sinful nature and the works of the flesh will help to prevent us from being confused or deceived and will enable us to defeat our enemies spiritually. Victory is winning a battle, struggle, or contest. It is being successful in defeating an enemy. We can have victory, good judgment, and understanding of God's Word and will for us. The purpose of this book is to help those who read it to understand what the works of the flesh and the temptations that we face daily are, and to recognize the difference between the sinful nature and the spiritual warfare we face. There is clarification of how the sinful nature operates in a person's life. The works of the flesh can prevent us from entering God's kingdom. When we look at God's Word we realize and understand that as Christians we are not under the law and with the Holy Spirit we will not gratify the sinful nature. The information here is geared to everyone who has an open mind and heart to the Lord and his amazing grace.

Download or read book It s Not Just You written by Ashley Chesnut and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's no way other women are struggling sexually like I am. Who could I even talk to about this? Isn't this a guy's issue? For too long, Christian women have assumed they’re outliers in their sexual struggles. This assumption (along with shame) often keeps them silent, leaving them to face the battle all by themselves. But if any of this sounds familiar, you’re not the only one. Whether your struggles take the form of masturbation, pornography, same sex attraction, or sexual fantasies, it’s not just you. These temptations are common not only for men in the church, but many women, too. So how do we fight against sexual sin as women? What do we do when there’s a disconnect between what the Bible says and how we live and feel? Or, if we lead a woman struggling in this way, how do we aid her in the battle? Written from the trenches of ministering to young women, young adult minister Ashley Chesnut explores why sexual sin is “sin” in the first place, what sex really is, and how Scripture speaks into topics like masturbation, oral sex, and sex robots—even when those words aren’t found in the Bible. God has already won the war against sin, and as you examine His Word along with Ashley, you’ll be equipped to battle against sexual sin and to aid other sisters in the fight. No, it’s not just you. And yes, you can take steps toward victory. Right now.
