Started "Celebrate Recovery" Tonight

[SVT93Style]

I have been walking with Christ for about 2 years and it has been amazing. Thru him I have overcome obstacles and have found my heart and life transformed. I must admit though I have been guilty of trying to tackle a problem that unfortunatley tends to surface every 4-6 months...sexual addicition.

Finally tonight I accepted the fact that I need help and can't tackle this on my own, basically I have been battling it on my own but this is not what God wants...you can't sanctify yourself w/o the Body helping and that is why we have each other. I look back on my life and realize this has been with me for 10+ years...amazing how long. Letting the Devil make me believe that if I "came clean" with it no one would accept me and like me etc...and I would be shuned etc...that is what he wants you to think. (Fear/Guilt/Shame) This couldn't be further from the truth.

I am just writing this for you other believers that are walking with Christ but have not accepted your "junk" and have not done anything about it...and you contiune to relapse time and time again. I encourage you to take the next step, I can't describe to you the burden that has been taken off me this evening, finally getting things in the open....4-6 months is good....but not good enough.

Praise God, I wonder just how deep this realtionship goes.

P.S. Celebrate Recovery is all over Dallas and handles all issues for men and women. We meet at the Village Church in Highland Village/Flower Mound Thursdays at 7 p.m......Stop putting it off as I did....do something today.

P.S.S. For all you who don't think porn/sexual addicition is a problem I encourage you to P.M. me. And for all those who would "flame" me I ask you to look at the fruit that is bore in your own life...is it ripe and sweet? Or has it fallen to the ground and become bitter....how's that working for you?

For those who need something to lean on to make it through life, or battle inner demons....if religion is what does it for you, more power to you. Just don't try to force it on those who don't need it.

Your wrong, I know what your saying...Christ is my crutch...wrong....he is my stretcher!
I don't think you are implying here that I am forcing this on anyone but I will tell you this...you can't force anyone to do anything...that is just a fact. All you can do is encourage. Freewill, what is the point of having someone love you if you are holding a gun to there head to get them to say it?

Also, Christ doesn't get me through life but rather gives me life. I don't know how I made it 24+ yr's without him...

No, I didn't imply you were pushing religion on anyone. I'm glad it helps you!

But I do know many who will ram it down your throat.

I hear you, a totally wrong approach to the spreading of the Gospel. The people that take that stance need to realize they turn more people away then they will ever get thru to...they make it about themselves and not about God...only God can change the heart...not some fools ignorant persistence...its like they tell you to close your eyes and then take a spotlight and shove it in your face....and say "open up!" Most of them don't even have a real relationship with Christ...and most of them are new to the "game" as well.
Its a shame, but it happens. The worst is when it parents do this to their children and burn them at a young age...(hence Christ and the sinless life thing)

P.S. The best way to testify to Christ/Gospel is not with your tongue but with your actions. Thats what people respond to...
